warnings, cautions and instructions concerning proper use of such accessories prior to operating the vehicle and/or accessory. See a NISSAN dealer for details concerning the particular accessories with which your vehicle is equipped.

WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION REMINDERS FOR SAFETY!

●NEVER drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
●ALWAYS observe posted speed limits and never drive too fast for conditions.
●ALWAYS give your full attention to driving and avoid using vehicle features or taking other actions that could distract you.

For descriptions specified for 4-wheel drive models, a mark is placed at the beginning of the applicable sections/items.
As with other vehicles with features for off-road use, failure to operate 4-wheel drive models correctly may result in loss of control or a collision. Be sure to read “Driving safety precautions”in the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING

Be sure to read “On-pavement and offroad driving precautions,” “Avoiding collision and rollover” and “Driving safety precautions” in the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.

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. For additional information, refer to “Precautions on seat belt usage” in this section.
●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.
1-2 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
●Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
●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
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

●Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.
●Head restraints/headrests should be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident. Always replace and adjust them properly if they have been removed for any reason.
●If the head restraints/headrests are removed for any reason, they should be securely stored to prevent them from causing injury to passengers or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden braking or an accident.
●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.
●Properly secure all cargo 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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests 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 restraints/headrests. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
