The pretensioner system activates in conjunction

with the front air bag system. 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 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 switch has been placed in the

ON or START position. In this case, the preten-

sioner system may not function properly. It 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.
