NOTE:

This vehicle’s occupant classification sen-

sor system locks the classification during

driving so it is important that you confirm

that the front passenger is properly classi-

fied prior to driving. Also, the occupant

classification sensor system may recalcu-

late the weight of the occupant when the

vehicle comes to a stop (i.e. stop light, stop

sign, etc.), so front passenger seat occu-

pants should continue to remain seated as

outlined above.

Troubleshooting

If you think the front 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) hang-

ing on the seat or placed in the seatback

pocket.

● A child restraint or other object pressing

against the rear of the seatback.

● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the

back of the front passenger seat.

● Forcing the front seat or seatback against an

object on the seat or floor behind it.

● An object placed under the front passenger

seat.

● An object placed between the seat cushion

and center console or between the seat

cushion and the door.

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 1 minute.

NOTE:

A system check will be performed during

which the front 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 passen-

ger air bag is suppressed.

However, if the occupant is not a small adult, then

this may be due to the following conditions that
