slide under the lap belt and receive serious
injuries.
For the most effective protection while the
•
vehicle is in motion, the seatback should be
upright. Always sit well back in the seat and
adjust theseat belt properly. (See “Seat belts”

WARNING
Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle with the

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing the seat belt properly adjusted
and sitting upright and well back in the seat,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 the supplemental air bag systems.
SSS0970Z
SSS0136Z
Sit upright and well back
1-6 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
SSS0134Z
Sit upright and well back
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
•
structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. Serious injury may
occur if a seat belt is not worn properly.
Position the lap belt as low and snug as pos-
•
sible around the hips, not the waist. A lap belt
worn too high could increase the risk of internal injuries in an accident.
Do not allow more than one person to use the
•
same seat belt. Each belt assembly must only
be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to
put a belt around a child being carried on the
occupant’s lap.
Never carry more people in the vehicle than
•
there are seat belts.
Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts should
•
not be worn with straps twisted. Doing so may
reduce their effectiveness.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
•
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide
the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Every person who drives or rides in this ve-
•
hicle should use a seat belt at all times. Chil-
dren should be properly restrained in the rear
seat and, if appropriate, in a child restraint
system.
Do not run the belt behind your back or under
•
your arm. Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest. The belt
should be away from your face and neck, but
not falling off your shoulder. Serious injury
may occur if a seat belt is not worn properly.
No modifications or additions should be made
•
by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination
•
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly
•
after it has been worn in a severe impact even
if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
All seat belt assemblies including retractors
•
and attaching hardware should be inspected
after any collisionby a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. It is essential to replace the
entire assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion be replaced unless the collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use during a col-
•
lision should also be inspected and, when
necessary, replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.
CHILD SAFETY
WARNING
Infants and children need special protection.
•
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly. The shoulder belt may come too close to
the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over
their small hipbones. In an accident, an improperly fitted seat belt could cause serious
or fatal injury.
Always use an appropriate child restraint sys-
•
tem.
Children need adults to help protect them. They
need to be properly restrained. The proper restraint
depends on the child’s size.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-7
Infants and small children
SSS0099Z
NISSAN recommends that infants and small children be seated in a child restraint system. You
should choose a child restraint system that fits your
vehicle and the child, and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.
Large children
WARNING
Never allow children to stand or kneel on any
•
seats.
Never allow children in the luggage area while
•
the vehicle is moving. A child could be seriously injured in an accident or sudden stop.
Children who are too large for a child restraint system should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts that are provided.
If the child’s seating position has a shoulder belt that
fits close to the face or neck, the use of a booster
seat (commercially available) may help overcome
this. The booster seat should raise the child so that
the shoulder belt is properly positioned across the
top, middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt
is low on the hips. The booster seat should also fit
the vehicle seat. Once the child has grown so that
the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face or
neck of the child, use the shoulder belt without the
booster seat. In addition, there are many types of
child restraint systems available for larger children
that should be used for maximum protection.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder
belt over your shoulder andacross yourchest. Never
run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.
Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat
belts. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

WARNING
The seatback should not be in a reclined position
any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well back
and straight up in the seat.
1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” earlier in this section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and
insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear
and feel the latch engage.
The retractor is designed to lock during a sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling motion
permits the seat belt to move, and allows you
some freedom of movement in the seat.
3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the
hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is routed over your shoulder and is snug
across your chest.

components, such as buckles, tongues, retractors,
flexible wires and anchors, work properly. If loose
parts, deterioration, cuts or other damage on the

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINT USAGE
WARNING
Infants and small children should never be
•
carried on your lap. It is not possible for even
the strongest adult to resist the forces of a
severe accident. The child could be crushed
between the adult and parts of the vehicle.
Also, it is dangerous to put a seat belt around
a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.
Infants and children need special protection.
•
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly. The shoulder belt may come too close to
the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over
their small hip bones. In an accident, an improperly fitting seat belt could cause serious
or fatal injury.
