Front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters
Benefits: Safety/Security, Comfort/Convenience
Pretensioners and load limiters work with the other components of the restraint system to help protect occupants in certain frontal impacts.
In certain frontal impacts, pretensioners help tighten the front seat belts. The same sensor system that signals the front air bags to deploy also sends a signal to the pretensioners, causing a limited amount of seat belt webbing to retract.
Load limiters help minimize the peak force that an occupant will experience when restrained by the seat belt in a severe frontal collision. The load limiter helps manage the crash energy by allowing a slight extension of the seat belt when the forces of the restraint system reach a predetermined force level.
The end result is a more controlled amount of force being exerted on the occupant's body.
The key benefit is that front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters can help reduce the risk of injury to front-seat occupants in certain frontal collisions.

* Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, do not use rear-facing child restraints in the front-passenger's seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents. See your owner's manual for more details.
S S
Dual-stage inflation
Dual-stage air bags are deployed based on signals gathered from various sensors located on the vehicle. Both 1st- and 2nd-stage inflators will always be used when the air bag is deployed. However, the timing of the second inflator activation will vary based on the severity of the impact, helping reduce the risk of injury.
Seat belt sensors
Sensors in each front seat belt detect whether the seat belt is in use. Seat belt use, other air bag system sensors, and the severity of the impact are used to determine air bag deployment conditions.
Occupant Classification System (OCS)
The Occupant Classification System determines whether there is an occupant or a child safety seat in the front-passenger seat. Sensors monitor the weight of the front-seat passenger, whether the seat belt is buckled, and the tension on the seat belt — such as if a child safety seat is in place.
Driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags*
Benefits: Safety/Security
Air bags mounted on the outboard sides of the front seatbacks deploy when air bag sensors detect that a significant side impact is occurring, helping reduce the driver's or front-passenger's risk of injury during certain side-impact collisions.
* Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, do not use rear-facing child restraints in the front-passenger's seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents. See your owner's manual for more details. Side air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity side collisions and inflate on the side of the vehicle impacted. Please see your owner’s manual for more details.

Safety Features SV SL
3-point seat belts*
Benefits: Safety/Security, Comfort/Convenience
3-point (lap and shoulder) seat belts are the primary restraint system in any vehicle, helping reduce occupant contact with interior components in the event of a crash.
All seating positions have 3-point seat belts.
When the ignition is turned on, a seat belt warning light in the instrument cluster will illuminate and a chime will sound if the driver does not buckle the seat belt. A warning light will illuminate if the front passenger does not buckle the seat belt.
* Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. See owner's manual for details. Always wear your seat belt, and please don't drink and drive.
S S
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seat belts
ELR seat belts allow belt motion for comfort under normal driving conditions, but lock the belt during certain decelerations. All seat belts have the ELR function.
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belts
ALR seat belts include both ELR and ALR modes. When the ALR mode is activated, the seat belt remains locked at all times. The ALR function allows a child safety seat to be installed with the seat belt without using a locking clip.
The front-passenger and rear seat belts have the ALR/ELR function.
Front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters
Benefits: Safety/Security, Comfort/Convenience
Pretensioners and load limiters work with the other components of the restraint system to help protect occupants in certain frontal impacts.
In certain frontal impacts, pretensioners help tighten the front seat belts. The same sensor system that signals the front air bags to deploy also sends a signal to the pretensioners, causing a limited amount of seat belt webbing to retract.
Load limiters help minimize the peak force that an occupant will experience when restrained by the seat belt in a severe frontal collision. The load limiter helps manage the crash energy by allowing a slight extension of the seat belt when the forces of the restraint system reach a predetermined force level.
The end result is a more controlled amount of force being exerted on the occupant's body.
The key benefit is that front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters can help reduce the risk of injury to front-seat occupants in certain frontal collisions.

Nissan Advanced Air Bag System*
Benefits: Safety/Security
Driver and front-passenger air bags inflate when air bag sensors detect that a significant frontal impact is occurring, helping reduce the driver's and front-passenger's risk of serious injury during certain frontal collisions.
* Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, do not use rear-facing child restraints in the front-passenger's seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents. See your owner's manual for more details.
S S
Dual-stage inflation
Dual-stage air bags are deployed based on signals gathered from various sensors located on the vehicle. Both 1st- and 2nd-stage inflators will always be used when the air bag is deployed. However, the timing of the second inflator activation will vary based on the severity of the impact, helping reduce the risk of injury.
Seat belt sensors
Sensors in each front seat belt detect whether the seat belt is in use. Seat belt use, other air bag system sensors, and the severity of the impact are used to determine air bag deployment conditions.
Occupant Classification System (OCS)
The Occupant Classification System determines whether there is an occupant or a child safety seat in the front-passenger seat. Sensors monitor the weight of the front-seat passenger, whether the seat belt is buckled, and the tension on the seat belt — such as if a child safety seat is in place.
Driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags*
Benefits: Safety/Security
Air bags mounted on the outboard sides of the front seatbacks deploy when air bag sensors detect that a significant side impact is occurring, helping reduce the driver's or front-passenger's risk of injury during certain side-impact collisions.
* Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, do not use rear-facing child restraints in the front-passenger's seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents. See your owner's manual for more details. Side air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity side collisions and inflate on the side of the vehicle impacted. Please see your owner’s manual for more details.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags* for outboard occupant head protection
Benefits: Safety/Security
When sensors detect certain side impacts, a multi-chambered air bag deploys from the roof area.
Curtain air bags help reduce the risk of head injury to front-seat and outboard rear-seat occupants.
* Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, do not use rear-facing child restraints in the front-passenger's seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents. See your owner's manual for more details. Side air bags and side curtain air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity side collisions and inflate on the side of the vehicle impacted. Please see your owner's manual for more details.
