Nissan Murano: NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System (front seats) / Troubleshooting

If you think the front passenger air bag status light is incorrect:

1. If the light isONwith an adult occupying the front passenger seat:
   • Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light is functioning as intended. The front passenger air bag and passenger knee air bag are suppressed.

   However, if the occupant is not a small adult, then this may be due to the following conditions that may be interfering with the weight sensors:

   • Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on the seat cushion with his/her feet comfortably extended to the floor.
   • A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
   • A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
   • Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor behind it.
   • An object placed under the front passenger seat.
   • An object placed between the seat cushion and center console or between the seat cushion and the door.

   If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and wait 1 minute.

   NOTE:

   A system check will be performed during which the front passenger air bag status light will remain lit for about 7 seconds initially.

   If the light is still ON after this, the person should be advised not to ride in the front passenger seat and the vehicle should be checked as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child or child restraint occupying the front passenger seat.

   This may be due to the following conditions that may be interfering with the weight sensors:

   • Small adult or child is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on the seat cushion with his/her feet comfortably extended to the floor.
   • The child restraint is not properly installed, as outlined in the “Child restraints” section of this manual.
   • An object weighing over 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) hanging on the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.
   • A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
   • A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
   • Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor behind it.
   • An object placed under the front passenger seat.
   • An object placed between the seat cushion and center console.

   If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and wait 1 minute.

   NOTE:

   A system check will be performed during which the front passenger air bag status light will remain lit for about 7 seconds initially.

   If the light is still OFF after this, the small adult, child or child restraint should be repositioned in the rear seat and the vehicle should be checked as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

3. If the light is OFF with no front passenger and no objects on the front passenger seat, the vehicle should be checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
