The drivers supplemental front-impact air bag is located in the center of the steering wheel. The front passengers supplemental front-impact air bag is mounted in the instrument panel 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.

The occupant classifications sensor is designed to operate as described abovetoturn the front passenger air bag OFF for specified child restraints. Failing to properly secure child restrains and tous the ALR mode (child restraint mode) may allow therestraint to tip or move in an accident or sudden stop. This can also result in the passenger air bag inflating a crash instead of being OFF. (See "Child restraints" (P. 1-18) for proper use and installation.)

If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the passenger air bag is designed not to inflate a crash. However, heavy objects placed on the seat could result in air bag inflation, because of the object being detected by the occupant classification sensor. Other conditions could also result in air bag inflation, such as fachildis standing on these at, orftwo children are on the seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual. Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants are seated and restrained properly. Using the passenger air bag status light, you can monitor when the front passenger air bag is automatically turned OFF with these at occupied. Thelightwillnotilluminatewhenthefront passengerseatisunoccupied.

Ifachildrestraint must be used in the front seat, the passenger air bag status light may may not be illuminated, depending on the size of the child and the type of child restraint being used. If the passenger air bag status light is not illuminated (indicating that the air bag might inflate in a crash), it could be that the child restraint or seat belt is not being used properly. Makes sure that the child restraint is installed properly, these at belt is used properly and the occupant is positioned properly. If the passenger air bag status light is still not illuminated, try adifferent child restraint.

If the passenger air bag status light will not illuminate event though you believe that the child restraint, these at belts and the occupant are properly positioned, the system may be sensing an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is OFF). Your NISSAN dealer can check that the system is OFF by using as special tool. However, until you have confirmed with your dealer that your air bag is working properly, donot transport achildinthisvehicle.

TIREPRESSUREMONITORINGSYSTEM(TPMS)

Eachtire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placardortire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle hastires of different sizing thanthesize indicated on the vehicle placardortire inflation pressure label, you should determin the proper tire inflation pressure forthosetires.)

Asanadded safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on asignificantly under inflated tire cause the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

Additional information

  • The TPMS does not monitor the tire pressureofthesparetire.
  • The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect as undendropintire pressure (forexamplea

flattirewhiledriving).

●Thelowtirepressurewarninglightdoesnot automaticallyturnoffwhenthetirepressure isadjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turnoff the low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gaugeto check the tire pressure.

DRINKINGALCOHOL/DRUGSAND DRIVING

NISSAN 370Z Roadster (2012) - WARNING - 1

WARNING

Neverdriveundertheinfluence of alcoholordrugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces coordination, delays reaction time and impairs judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of being involved in accident injurying yourself and others. Additionally, if you are injured in an accident, alcohol can increase severity of the injury.

NISSANiscommittedtosafedriving. However, youmustchoosenottodriveundertheinfluence ofalcohol.Everyyearthousandsofpeopleare injuredorkilledinalcohol-relatedaccidents. Although the localaws vary on what is consideredtobelegallyintoxicated, the fact is that alcohol affects all peopled differently and most people underestimate the effect of

alcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving don't mix! And that istruefordrugs, too (over-the-counter, prescription, and illegaldrugs). Don't drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition.

If the engine is not running oristurned off while driving, the power assist for the steering will not work. Steering will behard to operate.

The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering. If the engine stops through drive belt breaks, you will still have control of the vehicle. However, much greater steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns and latlowspeeds.

TheABSoperatesatspeedsabove3to6MPH (5to10km/h).

When the ABS sensesthatoneormorewheels are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly. You may feel apulsation in the brake pedalandhearanoise from under the hoodor feel a vibration from the actuator when it is operating. This is normal and indicate that the ABS is operating properly. However, the pulsation may indicate that road conditions are hazardous and extracare is required while driving.

CORROSIONPROTECTION

MOSTCOMMONFACTORSCONTRIBUTINGTOVEHICLECORROSION

●The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt and debrisin body panel sections, cavities, and other areas.
- Damagetopaintandotherprotectivecoatingscausedbygravelandstonechipsor minortrafficaccidents.

ENVIRONMENTALFACTORSINFLUENCETHERATEOFCORROSION

Moisture

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the vehicle body underside can accelerate corrosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry completely inside the vehicle, and should be removed for drying to avoid floor panel corrosion.

Relativehumidity

Corrosionwillbeacceleratedinareasofhigh relativehumidity,especiallythoseareaswhere thetemperaturesstayabovefreezingwhere atmosphericpollutionexists,orwhereroadsalt isused.

Temperature

Atemperature increase will accelerate the rate of corrosion to those parts which are not well ventilated.

Airpollution

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air in coastal areas, or heavy roads salt use will accelerate the corrosion process. Roads salt will also accelerate the integration of paint surfaces.

TOPROTECT YOURVEHICLEFROM CORROSION

  • Washandwaxyourvehicleoftentokepthe vehicleclean.
    ●Alwayscheckforminordamagetothepaint andrepairitassoonaspossible.
  • Keepdrainholesatthebottomofthedoors opentoavoidwateraccumulation.

TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)

This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitor tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under inflated.

The TPMSwillactivateonlywhenthevehicleis drivenatspeedsabove16MPH(25km/h). Also, thissystemmaynotdetectasuddendrop intirepressure(forexampleaflattirewhile driving).

Formoredetails, see "Lowtirepressurewarning light" (P.2-12), "TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)" (P.5-3) and "TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)" (P.6-2).

Tireinflationpressure

Check the pressure of the tires (including the spare) often and always prioritolong distancetrips. There recommended tire pressures specifications are shown on the Tire and Loading Information label under the "Cold Tire Pressure" heading. The Tire and Loading Information label is affixed to the driverside center pillar. Tire pressures

Duetolegalrequirementsinsomestates and Canadian Provinces, your vehicle maybe required to be in what is called the "ready condition" for an inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the emission control system.

The vehicle is set to the "ready condition" when it is driven through certain driving patterns. Usually, the "ready condition" can be obtained by ordinary usage of the vehicle.
