Nissan Titan (2019 year). Instruction

∙ Make sure the child’s head will be prop-

erly supported by the booster seat or
vehicle seat. The seatback must be at
or above the center of the child’s ears.
For example, if a low back booster seat
is chosen, the vehicle seatback must be
at or above the center of the child’s ears.
If the seatback is lower than the center
of the child’s ears, a high back booster
seat should be used.

∙ If the booster seat is compatible with

your vehicle, place the child in the
booster seat and check the various ad-
justments to be sure the booster seat is
compatible with the child. Always follow
all recommended procedures.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved
child restraint at all times while the ve-
hicle is being operated.

The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats (if
so equipped) or the front passenger seat.

Booster seat installation

WARNING

To avoid injury to child, do not use the
lap/shoulder belt in the Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) mode when us-
ing a booster seat with the seat belts.

For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the “Child safety”,
“Child restraints” and “Booster seats” sec-
tions of this manual before installing a child

1. If you must install a booster seat in

the front seat, move the seat to the
rearmost position.

2. Position the booster seat on the seat.

Only place it in a front-facing direction.
Always follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions.

3. The booster seat should be positioned

on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.

If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the cor-
rect booster seat fit. If the head
restraint/headrest is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint/headrest when
the booster seat is removed. For ad-
ditional information, refer to "Head
restraints/headrests" in this section.

If the seating position does not have
an adjustable head restraint/headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
booster seat fit, try another seating
position or a different booster seat.

4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt

low and snug on the child’s hips. Be
sure to follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for adjusting the
seat belt routing.

5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the

seat belt toward the retractor to take
up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the top,
middle portion of the child’s shoulder.
Be sure to follow the booster seat

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS (with
NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System)
(if so equipped)

This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems:

∙ Driver and front passenger supplemen-

tal front-impact air bag (NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System)

∙ Front

seat-mounted

side-impact

supplemental air bag

∙ Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and

rollover supplemental air bag

∙ Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front

seats)

Supplemental front-impact air bag system

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head
and chest of the driver and right front pas-
senger in certain frontal collisions.

Front

seat-mounted

side-impact

supplemental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the driver and right
front passenger in certain side impact colli-
sions. The side air bag is designed to inflate
on the side where the vehicle is impacted.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in front and
rear outboard seating positions (if so
equipped) in certain side impact or rollover
collisions. In a side impact, the curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover,
curtain air bags are designed to inflate and
remain inflated for a short time.

The SRS is designed to supplement the
crash protection provided by the seat belts
and is not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel
and door finishers. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Seat belts” in this section.

The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.

After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental
air bag warning light will turn off after
about 7 seconds if the system is opera-
tional.

WARNING

∙ The front air bags ordinarily will not

inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower severity
frontal collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.

∙ The front passenger air bag will not

inflate if the passenger air bag status
light is lit or if the front passenger seat
is unoccupied. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section.

∙ The seat belts and the front air bags

are most effective when you are sit-
ting well back and upright in the seat.
The front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System, if you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting side-
ways or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or death in
a crash. You may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the front air bag
if you are up against it when it inflates.

Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
Always properly use the seat belts.

∙ The driver and front passenger seat

belt buckles are equipped with sen-
sors that detect if the seat belts are
fastened. The NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System monitors the severity of a
collision and inflates the air bags as
needed. Failure to properly wear seat
belts can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident.

∙ The front passenger seat is equipped

with an occupant classification sen-
sor (weight sensor) that turns the
front passenger air bag OFF under
some conditions. This sensor is only
used in this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt can
increase the risk or severity of injury in
an accident. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag
and status light” in this section.

∙ Keep hands on the outside of the

steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could increase
the risk that they are injured when the
front air bag inflates.

WARNING

∙ The seat belts, the side air bags and

curtain air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. The side air bag
and curtain air bag inflate with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side air
bag on the side of the seatback of the
front seat or near the side roof rails.
Do not allow anyone sitting in the
front seats or rear outboard seats (if
so equipped) to extend their hand out
of the window or lean against the
door. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the pre-
vious illustrations.

WARNING

∙ When sitting in the rear seat (if so

equipped), do not hold onto the seat-
back of the front seat. If the side air
bag inflates, you may be seriously in-
jured. Be especially careful with chil-
dren, who should always be properly
restrained. Some examples of dan-
gerous riding positions are shown in
the illustrations.

∙ Do not use seat covers on the front

seatbacks. They may interfere with
side air bag inflation.

WARNING

To ensure proper operation of the pas-
senger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem,

please

observe

the

following

items.

∙ Do not allow a passenger in the rear

bench seats (if so equipped) to push
or pull on the seatback pocket.

∙ Do not place heavy loads heavier than

1 kg (2.2 lbs.) on the seatback, head
restraint or in the seatback pocket.

∙ Do not store luggage behind the seat

that can press into the seatback.

∙ Do not position the front passenger

seat so it contacts the rear bench
seats (if so equipped). If the front seat
does contact the rear bench seats (if
so equipped), the air bag system may
determine a sensor malfunction has
occurred and the front passenger air
bag status light may illuminate and
the supplemental air bag warning
light may flash.

∙ If a forward-facing child restraint is

installed in the front passenger seat,
do not position the front passenger
seat so the child restraint contacts the
instrument panel. If the child restraint
does contact the instrument panel,
the system may determine the seat as
occupied and the passenger air bag
may deploy in a collision. Also the
front passenger air bag status light
may not illuminate. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Child restraints” in
this section.

∙ Confirm the operating condition with

the front passenger air bag status
light.

∙ If you notice that the front passenger

air bag status light is not operating as
described in this section, get the oc-
cupant classification system checked.
It is recommended that you take your
vehicle to a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

∙ Until you have confirmed with a

dealer that your passenger seat occu-
pant classification system is working
properly, position the occupants in
the

rear

seating

positions

(if

equipped). Do not use the front seat or
transport a child in the vehicle (Single
Cab and King Cab® Rear Seat Delete
models only).

This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. All of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the steering
wheel. The front passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag is mounted in the
dashboard above the glove box. The front
air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. They may not in-
flate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle
damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper front air bag system op-
eration.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-61

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor and the Air bag Control Unit (ACU).
Inflator operation is based on the severity
of a collision and seat belt usage for the
driver. For the front passenger, the occu-
pant classification sensor is also moni-
tored. Based upon the information from
the sensor, only one front air bag may in-
flate in a crash, depending on the crash
severity. Additionally, the front passenger
air bag may be automatically turned off
under some conditions, depending on the
weight detected on the front passenger
seat and how the seat belt is used. If the
front passenger air bag is OFF, the front
passenger air bag status light will be illumi-
nated (if the seat is unoccupied, the light
will not be illuminated, but the air bag will
be off). For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status light” in
this section. One front air bag inflating does
not indicate improper performance of the
system.

If you have any questions about your air
bag system, it is recommended that you
contact NISSAN or a NISSAN dealer. If you
are considering modification of your ve-
hicle due to a disability, you may also con-
tact NISSAN. Contact information is con-
tained in the front of this Owner’s Manual.

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

Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the face and chest of the front occupants.
They can help save lives and reduce seri-
ous injuries. However, an inflating front air
bag may cause facial abrasions or other
injuries. Front air bags do not provide re-
straint to the lower body.

Even with NISSAN Advanced Air Bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and front passenger seated upright
as far as practical away from the steering
wheel or instrument panel. The front air
bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the front occupants. Because of this, the
force of the front air bag inflating can in-
crease the risk of injury if the occupant is
too close to, or is against, the front air bag
module during inflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a
collision.

The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is 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.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Front passenger air bag and status light

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed
to automatically turn OFF under some
conditions. Read this section carefully
to learn how it operates. Proper use of
the seat, seat belt and child restraints is
necessary for most effective protec-
tion. Failure to follow all instructions in
this manual concerning the use of
seats, seat belts and child restraints can
increase the risk or severity of injury in
an accident.

Status light
The front passenger seat is equipped with
an occupant classification sensor (weight
sensor) that turns the front passenger air
bag on or off depending on the weight ap-
plied to the front passenger seat. The sta-
tus of the front passenger air bag (ON or
OFF) is indicated by the front passenger air
bag status light

which is located on

the instrument panel.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
"ON" position, the front passenger air bag
status light on the instrument panel illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns
off or remains illuminated depending on
the front passenger seat occupied status.
The light operates as follows:

∙ Unoccupied front passenger’s seat:

The

light is OFF and the front pas-

senger air bag is OFF and will not inflate
in a crash.

∙ Front passenger seat occupied by a

small adult, child or child restraint as
outlined in this section: The

light

may or may not illuminate, depending
on the size of the occupant or the type
of child restraint being used. When
the

light is illuminated, the front

passenger air bag is OFF and will not
inflate in a crash. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Front passenger air
bag” in this section.

∙ Occupied front passenger seat and the

passenger meets the conditions as
outlined in this section: The

light is

OFF to indicate that the front passen-
ger air bag is operational.

In addition to the above, certain objects
placed on the front passenger seat may
also cause the light to operate as de-
scribed above depending on their weight.

For additional information, refer to “Normal
operation” and “Troubleshooting” in this
section.

WRS0475

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-63

Front passenger air bag

The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as de-
scribed below in accordance with U.S. regu-
lations. If the front passenger air bag is OFF,
it will not inflate in a crash. The driver air bag
and other air bags in your vehicle are not
part of this system.

The purpose of the regulation is to help
reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by requir-
ing the air bag to be automatically turned
OFF under some conditions. Certain sen-
sors are used to meet the requirements.

The occupant classification sensor in this
vehicle is a weight sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the
seat by weight. For example, if a child up to
the approximate size and weight of a one
year old is properly restrained in the front
passenger seat, the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System is designed to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF. For a properly re-
strained child who is larger than the ap-
proximate size and weight of a one year
old, the front passenger air bag may or
may not be automatically turned OFF, de-

pending on the size of the child and the
type of child restraint being used. After in-
stalling the child restraint and positioning
the child, place the ignition switch in the ON
position: if the front passenger air bag sta-
tus light is illuminated, the air bag is OFF. If
the front passenger air bag status light is
not illuminated, the air bag will inflate in a
crash.

Front passenger seat adult occupants who
are properly seated and using the seat belt
as outlined in this manual should not
cause the front passenger air bag to be
automatically turned OFF. For small adults
it may be turned OFF, however if the occu-
pant takes his/her weight off the seat
cushion (for example, by not sitting upright,
by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by
otherwise being out of position), this could
cause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF.
Always be sure to be seated and wearing
the seat belt properly for the most effective
protection by the seat belt and supple-
mental air bag.

NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear seat
(if so equipped). NISSAN also recommends
that appropriate child restraints and booster
seats be properly installed in a rear seat (if so
equipped). If this is not possible, the occu-

pant classification sensor is designed to op-
erate as described above to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF for specified child re-
straints as required by the regulations. Fail-
ing to properly secure child restraints and to
use the ALR mode may allow the restraint to
tip or move in a collision or sudden stop. This
can also result in the passenger air bag in-
flating in a crash instead of being OFF. For
additional information, refer to “Child re-
straints” in this section.

If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the front passenger air bag is designed not
to inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects
placed on the seat could result in air bag
inflation, because of the object’s weight de-
tected by the occupant classification sen-
sor. Other conditions could also result in air
bag inflation, such as if a child is standing
on the seat, or if two children are on the
seat, contrary to the instructions in this
manual. Always be sure that you and all
vehicle occupants are seated and re-
strained properly.

Using the front passenger air bag status
light, you can monitor when the front pas-
senger air bag is automatically turned OFF
with the seat occupied. The light will not
illuminate when the front passenger seat is
unoccupied.

1-64

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
front passenger air bag status light is illu-
minated (indicating that the air bag is OFF),
it could be that the person is a small adult,
or is not sitting on the seat properly or not
using the seat belt properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front
seat, the front passenger air bag status
light may or may not be illuminated, de-
pending on the size of the child and the
type of child restraint being used. Always
make sure that the child restraint is in-
stalled properly, the seat belt is used prop-
erly and the occupant is positioned prop-
erly.

If necessary, a NISSAN dealer can check
system operation by using a special tool.
Until you have confirmed with a dealer that
your air bag is working properly, reposition
the occupant or child restraint in a rear
seat (if so equipped). Do not use the front
seat or transport a child in the vehicle
(Single Cab and King Cab® Rear Seat Delete
models only).

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System and
front passenger air bag status light will
take a few seconds to register a change in
the front passenger seat status. For ex-
ample, if a large adult who is sitting in the

front passenger seat exits the vehicle, the
front passenger air bag status light will go
from OFF to ON for a few seconds and then
to OFF. This is normal system operation
and does not indicate a malfunction.

If a malfunction occurs in the front passen-
ger air bag system, the supplemental air
bag warning light

, located in the me-

ter and gauges area of the instrument
panel, will blink. Have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Normal operation
In order for the occupant classification
sensor system to classify the front passen-
ger based on weight, please follow the pre-
cautions and steps outlined below:

Precautions

∙ Make sure that there are no objects

weighing over 2.2 lbs. (1 kg) hanging on
the seat or placed in the seatback
pocket.

∙ Make sure that a child restraint or other

object is not pressing against the rear
of the seatback.

∙ Make sure that a rear passenger is not

pushing or pulling on the back of the
front passenger seat.

∙ Make sure that the front passenger

seat or seatback is not forced back
against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.

∙ Make sure that there is no object placed

under the front passenger seat.

Steps

1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats”

section of this manual. Sit upright, lean-
ing against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with your feet com-
fortably extended to the floor.

2. Make sure there are no objects on your

lap.

3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the

“Seat belts” section of this manual.

4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds

allowing the system to classify the
front passenger before the vehicle is
put into motion.

5. Ensure proper classification by check-

ing the front passenger air bag status
light.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-65

NOTE:

This vehicle’s occupant classification
sensor system locks the classification
during driving so it is important that you
confirm that the front passenger is prop-
erly classified prior to driving. Also, the
occupant classification sensor system
may recalculate the weight of the occu-
pant when the vehicle comes to a stop
(i.e. stop light, stop sign, etc.), so front
passenger seat occupants should con-
tinue to remain seated as outlined
above.

Troubleshooting

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

1. If the light is ON with no front passenger

and no objects on the front passenger
seat:

This may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:

∙ An object weighing over 1 kg (2.2 lbs.)

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 pas-

senger 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. Re-
start 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 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 ON with an adult occupy-

ing the front passenger seat:

∙ Occupant is a small adult — the air bag

light is functioning as intended. The
front passenger air bag is 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 com-
fortably 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 pas-

senger 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. Re-
start the vehicle and wait 1 minute.
