Seat belts with pretensioners (front seats)
WARNING
• The
pretensioners cannot be reused
after activation. They must be replaced together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.
• If the vehicle
becomes involved in a
collision but a pretensioner is not
activated, be sure to have the pretensioner
system checked and, if
necessary, replaced by a NISSAN
dealer.
• No unauthorized
changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the pretensioner system. This is
to prevent damage to or accidental
activation of the pretensioners.
Tampering with the pretensioner
system may result in serious personal
injury.
• Work around and
on the pretensioner
system should be done by a
NISSAN dealer. Installation of electrical
equipment should also be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not be
used on the pretensioner system.
• If you need to
dispose of a pretensioner
or scrap the vehicle, contact a
NISSAN dealer. Correct pretensioner
disposal procedures are set
forth in the appropriate NISSAN
Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal
injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with the supplemental air bag system in certain types of collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of collisions, helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt retractor. These seat belts are used the same way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard. The smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation and choking. Those with a history of a breathing condition should get fresh air promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is
used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner
system. (See “Supplemental air bag warning
light” later in this section for more details.) If the
operation of the supplemental air bag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you inform the buyer about the pretensioner system and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
