Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags,
knee air bag and pretensioners are designed to
inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag
warning light remains illuminated after inflation
has occurred. Repair and replacement of these
supplemental air bag systems should be done
only by a NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the ve-
hicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags, knee air bag, pretensioners and related
parts should be pointed out to the person per-
forming the maintenance. The ignition switch
should always be in the LOCK position when
working under the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
● Once a front air bag, side air bag, cur-
tain air bag, or knee air bag has inflated,
the air bag module will not function
again and must be replaced. Addition-
ally, the activated pretensioners must
also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner should be replaced by
a NISSAN dealer. The air bag module
and pretensioner cannot be repaired.
● The front air bag, side air bag, curtain
air bag, knee air bag systems and the
pretensioner system should be in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer if there is
any damage to the front end or side
portion of the vehicle.
● If you need to dispose of a supplemen-
tal air bag or pretensioner or scrap the
vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Incor-
rect disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
● If there is an impact to your vehicle from
any direction, your Occupant Detection
Sensor (ODS) should be checked by a
NISSAN dealer to verify it is still func-
tioning correctly. The ODS should be
checked even if no air bags deploy as a
result of the impact. Failure to verify
proper ODS function may result in an
improper air bag deployment resulting
in injury or death.
