WARNING:

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

the seatback reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be properly against the body. In an accident, you and your passengers could be thrown into the shoulder belt and receive neck or other serious injuries. You and your passengers could also 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 the seat properly. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-8).)

FRONT SEATS

Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so that full attention may be given to vehicle operation.

Manual seat adjustment

After adjusting a seat, gently shake the seat to confirm that the seat is locked securely. If the seat is not locked securely, it may move suddenly and could cause the loss of control of the vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

D23A131129-01E6649B-3F49-4086-A553-08A09A0071D 7

WARNING:

Head restraints supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjustable head restraints 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 stalks or remove the head restraint. Do not use the seat if the head restraint has been removed. If the head restraint was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraint. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

. Your vehicle is equipped with a head restraint that

may be integrated, adjustable or non-adjustable.

. Adjustable head restraints have multiple notches

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

. The non-adjustable head restraints have a single

locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.

. Proper Adjustment:

— For the adjustable type, align the head restraint

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

— If your ear position is still higher than the

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

. If the head restraint has been removed, ensure

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

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

possible 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.

. Seatbelts 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

vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat (if equipped) and, if appropriate, in a child restraint system.

. Do not put 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 contamina-

tion 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 collision by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision 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 collision should also be inspected and, when necessary, replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

. Once the pre-tensioner seat belt (if

equipped) has activated, it cannot be reused. It must be replaced together with the retractor. Contact a NISSAN dealer.

. Removal and installation of the pre-ten-

sioner seat belt system (if equipped) components should be done by a NISSAN dealer.

CHILD SAFETY

D23A131129-391C4AD6-2F06-4205-BE55-366EA6C5E424

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

system.

Children need adults to help protect them. They need to be properly restrained. The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.

SSS0099

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

D23A131129-E7E81196-1AD1-4467-B945-35A94DE2AE2 4

WARNING:

. Never allow children to stand or kneel on

any seats.

. Never allow children in the luggage areas

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

D23A131129-AEA253B0-0EB2-45A3-8A7C-77A6C8748C8C

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 and across your chest. 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

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” (P.1-2).)

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.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

Periodically check that the seat belt and all the metal components, such as buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and anchors, work properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts or other damage on the seat belt webbing is found, the entire seat belt assembly should be replaced.

If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild soap solution or any solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they are completely dry.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINT

USAGE

D23A131129-E1FB12A0-C2B8-4595-A074-B4658FD76E0A

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.

. Infants and small children should always be

placed in an appropriate child restraint system while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint system can result in serious injury or death.

SSS0099

1-12 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

(27,1)

. Child restraint systems specially designed

for infants and small children are available from several manufacturers. When selecting any child restraint systems, place your child in the child restraint system and check the various adjustments to be sure that the child restraint system is compatible with your child. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

. NISSAN recommends that the child restraint

system be installed in the rear seat (Double Cab model). According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.

. Follow all of the child restraint system

manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. When purchasing a child restraint system, be sure to select one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may not be possible to properly install some types of child restraint systems in your vehicle.

. The direction of the child restraint, either

front-facing or rear-facing, depends on the type of the child restraint and the size of the child. Refer to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for details.

. For a front-facing child restraint system,

check to make sure the shoulder belt does not fit close to child’s face or neck. If it does, put the shoulder belt behind the child restraint system. If you must install a frontfacing child restraint system in the front seat, see “Installation on front passenger’s seat” (P.1-16).

. Never install a rear-facing child restraint

system in the front seat. An inflating supple-

mental front-impact air bag could seriously injure or kill your child. A rear-facing child restraint system must only be used in the rear seat (front passenger air bag equipped Double Cab model).

. Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned

to fit a child restraint system, but as upright as possible.

. If the seat belt in the position where a child

restraint system is installed requires a locking clip and if it is not used, injuries could result from a child restraint system tipping over during normal vehicle braking or cornering.

. After attaching a child restraint system, test

it before you place the child in it. Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it forward and check if it is held securely in place. The child restraint system should not move more than 25 mm (1 in). If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt as necessary, or install the restraint in another seat and test it again.

. Check the child restraint system in your

vehicle to be sure that it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat belt system.

. If a child restraint system is not anchored

properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.

. Improper use of a child restraint system can

increase the risk or severity of injury for both the child and other occupants in the vehicle.

. Always use an appropriate child restraint

system. An improperly installed child restraint system could lead to serious injury or death in an accident.

. When the child restraint system is not in use,

keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it from being thrown around in case of a sudden stop or accident.

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 always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. In addition, there are many types of child restraint systems available for larger children that should be used for maximum protection.

CAUTION:

Remember that a child restraint system left in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in a child restraint system.
