NISSAN 2009 Titan - Manual (Page 75)

● 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 appropri-
ate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause per-
sonal injury.
The pretensioner system activates in conjunction
with the front air bag system. The pretensioner
system also activates with the curtain and rollover
air bags in certain types of rollover collisions or
near rollovers. Working with the seat belt retrac-
tor, 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 re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. This
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.
If any abnormality occurs in the pretensioner sys-
tem, the supplemental air bag warning
light will not come on, will flash intermit-
tently or will turn on for 7 seconds and remain on
after the ignition key has been turned to the ON or
START position. In this case, the pretensioner
system may not function properly. They must be
checked and repaired. Take your vehicle to the
nearest 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.
1. SRS Air bag warning labels
The warning labels are located on the sur-
face of the sun visor.
2. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag warning label (if so equipped)
The warning label is located on the side of
the passenger’s side center pillar.
