SEATS

Information Provided by:

. The seatback should not be reclined

any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

CAUTION

WARNING

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle

when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

. For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit

well back in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-11).

. After adjustment, gently rock in the

seat to make sure it is securely locked.

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for

added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-11).)

Folding

Before folding the rear seats:

. Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks

on the side wall. (See “Seat belt hooks”

and

(P.1-17).)

. Release the connector tongue of the rear

center seat belt from the buckle, and secure the connector and seat belt tongues on the seat belt hook. (See “Rear center seat belt” (P.1-17).)

1-4 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

SSS0961

SSS0987

. Stow seat belt buckles by pushing the seat

belt buckles into seat pockets.

The seat belt buckles should only be stowed when the rear seat is folded. The rear seat belt buckles should be in the unstowed position at all other times.

SSS0962

Information Provided by:

To fold down the seatback of each rear seat, pull the strap

CAUTION

When folding or returning the seatback(s) to the upright position, to avoid injury to yourself and others:

. Make sure that the seat path is clear

before moving the seat.

. The seatback is spring assisted and

may move at a rapid rate. Be careful not to allow the seatback to pinch or hit any part of your body when you fold it.

To return the seatback to the seating position, lift up each seatback and push it to the upright position until it is latched. Unstow the seat belt buckles by pulling the buckles out of the seat pockets.

WARNING

. Do not use the rear seat belts when

the buckles are stowed in the seat pockets. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the entire restraint system and increase the chance or severity of injury in an accident.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-5

. Do not fold down the rear seats

when occupants are in the rear seat area or any objects are on the rear seats.

. Never allow anyone to ride in the

cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in the fold-down position. Use of these areas by passengers without proper restraints could result in serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.

. Properly secure all cargo with ropes

or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.

. When returning the seatbacks to the

upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

ARMREST Front

Pull the armrest down until it is horizontal.

SSS0963

Rear

Pull the armrest down until it is horizontal.

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS

WARNING

Head restraint/headrest supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjustable head restraints/headrests must be adjusted properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the head restraint/headrest stalks or remove the head restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat if the head restraint/ headrest has been removed. If the head restraint/headrest was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint/headrest before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraint/ headrest. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

1-6 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

JVR0060X

Information Provided by:

The illustration shows the seating positions equipped with head restraint/headrest.

Indicates the seating position is equipped

with a head restraint. . Your vehicle is equipped with a head

restraint/headrest that may be integrated, adjustable or non-adjustable.

. Adjustable head restraints/headrests have

multiple notches along the stalk to lock them in a desired adjustment position.

. The non-adjustable head restraints/head-

rests have a single locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.

. Proper Adjustment:

— For the adjustable type, align the head

restraint/headrest so the center of your ear is approximately level with the center of the head restraint/headrest.

— If your ear position is still higher than the

recommended alignment, place the head restraint/headrest at the highest position.

. If the head restraint/headrest has been

removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in place before riding in that designated seating position.

Lower

To lower, push and hold the lock knob and push the head restraint/headrest down.

Make sure the head restraint/headrest is positioned so the lock knob is engaged in the notch before riding in that designated seating position.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT

The Active Head Restraint moves forward utilizing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the head restraint helps support the occupant’s head by reducing its backward movement and helping absorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective for collisions at low to medium speeds in which it is said that whiplash injury occurs most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in certain rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints return to their original position.

SEAT BELTS

Information Provided by:

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your passengers to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seating position includes a supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states specify that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven.
