Nissan Note Seat Belt Pretensioner Replacement Parts

The Nissan Note does have seat belt pretensioners fitted as standard across its production run — they are part of the passive safety system and work alongside the airbags to restrain occupants in a collision. Like all pretensioners, they are single-use pyrotechnic devices that fire on impact and cannot be reset, so if yours has deployed you will need a replacement unit from a breaker. Always have a safety-critical component like this fitted by a qualified technician.

These are two different generations — the first-generation Note ran from 2006 to 2013, and the second-generation Note ran from 2013 onwards, so a 2007 unit and a 2013 unit are unlikely to be interchangeable. Even within the first generation there was a facelift, so you should always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before ordering. Never assume a cross-generation swap will work on a safety-critical part like a pretensioner.

Trim level can influence seat and belt configurations on the Note — trims such as Visia, Acenta, and Tekna may have differing seat styles which can affect the pretensioner specification. Because pretensioner variants are something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume, give the breaker your full reg and let them verify the exact unit. This is especially important for a safety-critical part where the wrong fitment is not acceptable.

Yes, nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver's side) pretensioners are separate parts and are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker clearly which side you need, and double-check this against your registration to make sure you receive the correct unit. Fitting the wrong side on a safety-critical component like this is not a safe option.

Seat belt pretensioners are safety-critical pyrotechnic devices and we strongly recommend professional fitting by a qualified technician — incorrect installation could mean the system fails to protect you in a collision, or in rare cases the device could deploy unexpectedly during fitting. A garage will also be able to check that the SRS system recognises the replacement part correctly and clear any fault codes. This is not a job to tackle at home to save money.

The first-generation Nissan Note ran from 2006 to 2013 and received a facelift during that period, which can affect interior components including safety systems. Whether a pre-facelift unit crosses over to a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as pretensioner variants are not something we can guarantee will match without checking. Give the breaker your reg so they can verify compatibility before any money changes hands.
