2015 Nissan Pathfinder Owner's Manual - Page 83

Steps 1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the "Seats" section of the Owner's Manual. Sit upright, leaning against the seat back, and centered on the seat cushion with your feet comfortably extended to the floor. 2. Make sure there are no objects on the occupant's lap. 3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the "Seat belts" section of the Owner's Manual. 4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds allowing the system to classify the passenger before the vehicle is put into motion. 5. Ensure proper classification by checking the passenger air bag status light. NOTE: This vehicle's Occupant Classification System locks the classification during driving so it is important that you confirm that the passenger is properly classified prior to driving. Also, the Occupant Classification System may recalculate the weight of the occupant when the vehicle comes to a stop (i.e stop light, stop sign etc.), so front passenger seat occupants should continue to remain seated as outlined above. Troubleshooting If you think the passenger air bag status light is incorrect: 1. If the light is ON with no front passenger and no objects on the front passenger seat: This may be due to the following conditions that may be interfering with the weight sensors: ● An object weighing over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hanging on the seat or placed in the seat-back pocket. ● A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back. ● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger's seat. ● The front seat or seat-back is forced back against an object on the seat or floor behind it. ● An object placed under the front passenger's seat. ● An object placed between the seat cushion and center console or between door and cushion. If the vehicle is moving please come to a stop when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and wait one minute. NOTE: A system check will be performed during which the passenger air bag status light will remain lit for about 7 seconds initially. If the light is still on after this, the vehicle should be checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. 2. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the front passenger seat: ● Occupant is a small adult → the air bag light is functioning as intended. The front passenger air bag is suppressed. However, if the occupant is not a small adult, then this may be due to the following conditions that may be interfering with the weight sensors: ● Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning against the seat back, and centered on the seat cushion with feet comfortably extended to the floor. ● A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back. ● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger's seat. ● The front seat or seat-back is forced back against an object on the seat or floor behind it. 1-60 Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
