Nissan Frontier (2024 year). Manual in english

•

Tampering with the side air bag sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury. For example, do not change
the front seats by placing material
near the seatbacks or by installing
additional trim material, such as seat
covers, around the side air bag.

•

It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the side air bag and curtain
air bag. It is also recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for installa-
tion of electrical equipment. The SRS
wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used
on the side air bag or curtain air bag
systems.

* The SRS wiring harness or connectors are
yellow or orange for easy identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems and guide the
buyer to the appropriate sections in this
Owner's Manual.

Driver and front passenger
supplemental knee air bag

The knee air bag is located below the
steering column on the driver’s side, and in
the knee bolster on the front passenger’s
side.

All of the information, cautions and

warnings in this manual apply and must
be followed.

The knee air bag is designed

to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in an-
other type of collision are similar to those of
a higher severity frontal impact. It may not
inflate in certain collisions.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always
an indication of proper knee air bag opera-
tion.

When the knee air bag inflates, a fairly loud
noise may be heard, followed by release of
smoke. This smoke is not harmful and
does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irrita-
tion and choking. Those with a history of a
breathing condition should get fresh air
promptly.

The knee air bag helps to cushion the im-
pact force on the knees of the driver and
passenger. It can help reduce serious inju-
ries. However, an inflating knee air bag may
cause abrasions or other injuries. The knee
air bag provides restraint to the lower body.

The knee air bag inflates quickly in order to
help protect the occupants. Because of
this, the force of the knee air bag inflating
can increase the risk of injury if the occu-
pant is too close to, or is against, this air bag
module during inflation. The knee air bag
will deflate quickly after the collision is over
OR the knee air bag will remain inflated for
a short time.

The knee air bag operates only when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position.

After placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
after about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.

WARNING

•

Do not place any objects between
the knee bolster and the driver’s or
passenger’s seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if a knee air bag inflates.

•

Right after inflation, the knee air bag
system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.

•

No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the knee air bag system. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental in-
flation of the knee air bag system.

•

Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle's electrical system or
suspension system. This could affect
proper operation of the knee air bag
system.

•

Tampering with the knee air bag sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury. For example, do not change
the driver or passenger knee bolster
or install additional trim material
around the knee air bag.

•

It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the knee air bag. It is also rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for installation of electrical
equipment. The SRS wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or
disconnected. Unauthorized electri-
cal test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the knee
air bag system.

*The SRS wiring harness or connectors are
yellow or orange for easy identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the knee air
bag system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this manual.

Seat belt with pretensioner(s)
(front and rear outboard seats)

WARNING

•

The pretensioner(s) cannot be re-
used after activation. They must be
replaced together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.

1-86

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•

If the vehicle becomes involved in a
collision but pretensioner(s) are not
activated, be sure to have the preten-
sioner system checked and, if neces-
sary, replaced. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

•

No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the pretensioner system. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental ac-
tivation of the pretensioner(s). Tam-
pering with the pretensioner system
may result in serious personal injury.

•

It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the pretensioner system. It is
also recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for installation of elec-
trical equipment. Unauthorized elec-
trical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the
pretensioner system.

•

If you need to dispose of the preten-
sioner(s) or scrap the vehicle, it is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. Incorrect dis-
posal procedures could cause per-
sonal injury.

The pretensioner system may activate
with the supplemental air bag system in
certain types of collisions. Working with
the seat belt retractor, the pretensioner(s)
help tighten the seat belt when the ve-
hicle becomes involved in certain types of
collisions, helping to restrain front seat
occupants.

The pretensioner(s) are encased within the
seat belt retractor. These seat belts are
used the same way as conventional seat
belts.

When pretensioner(s) activate, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. This
smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate a fire. Care should be taken not to
inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.

After the pretensioner(s’) activation, load
limiters (if so equipped) 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. For additional infor-
mation, see "Supplemental air bag warning

light" (P. 1-88). If the operation of the supple-
mental air bag warning light indicates
there is a malfunction, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the pretensioner
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner's Manual.

Repair and replacement
procedure

The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags and pretensioner(s) are designed to
inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a re-
minder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag warning light remains illu-
minated after inflation has occurred. These
systems should be repaired and/or re-
placed as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags,
curtain air bags, pretensioner(s) and re-
lated parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The
ignition switch should always be placed in
the LOCK position when working under the
hood or inside the vehicle.

WARNING

•

Once a front air bag, side air bag, or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner(s) must
also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner(s) should be re-
placed. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
However, the air bag module and pre-
tensioner(s) cannot be repaired.

•

The front air bag, side air bag, curtain
air bag systems and the preten-
sioner system should be inspected if
there is any damage to the front end
or side portion of the vehicle. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

•

If you need to dispose of the supple-
mental air bag or pretensioner sys-
tems or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.

•

If there is an impact to your vehicle
from any direction, your Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) should be
checked to verify it is still functioning
correctly. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
The OCS should be checked even if no
air bags deploy as a result of the im-
pact. Failure to verify proper OCS
function may result in an improper
air bag deployment resulting in in-
jury or death.

tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended

COLD

tire

pressure

show on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label located in the driver’s door

opening to turn the low tire pressure
warning light off. If the light still illumi-
nates while driving after adjusting the
tire pressure, a tire may be flat or the
TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a spare
tire as soon as possible. If no tire is flat
and all tires are properly inflated,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

•

When using a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light will
remain on after 1 minute. Have your
tires replaced and/or TPMS system
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for these services.

•

Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.

CAUTION

•

The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure
to check the tire pressure regularly.

Instruments and controls

2-17

•

If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
the TPMS may not operate correctly.

blinks while the engine is running, it may
indicate

potential

emission

control

malfunction.

If this indicator light comes on steady for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an emission
control system inspection/maintenance
test. For additional information, see “Readi-
ness for inspection/maintenance (I/M)
test” (P. 10-41).

Operation

The MIL will come on in one of two ways:
• MIL on steady — An emission control sys-

tem malfunction has been detected.
Check the fuel-filler cap if the Loose Fuel

Cap warning appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display. If the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off after a few driving
trips. If the

light does not turn off

after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. You
do not need to have your vehicle towed
to the dealer.

• MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been

detected which may damage the emis-
sion control system. To reduce or avoid
emission control system damage:

– do not drive at speeds above 45 mph

(72 km/h).

– avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
– avoid steep uphill grades.
– if possible, reduce the amount of cargo

being hauled or towed.

The MIL may stop blinking and come on
steady. Have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
