SEATS

ARS1152

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 and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. For additional information, see “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P. 1-21).

•After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.

1-2 Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls or make the vehicle move. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

•To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

•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.

FRONT MANUAL SEAT ADJUSTMENT (for passenger's seat and if so equipped for driver's seat)

Your vehicle seats can be adjusted manually. For additional information about adjusting the seats, refer to the steps outlined in this section.

To recline the seatback, pull the lever up and lean back. To bring the seatback forward, pull the lever up and lean your body forward. Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. For additional information, see “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P. 1-21). Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the shift lever is in the P (Park) position.

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

•Head restraints/headrests should be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident. Always replace 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.

•Do not drive the vehicle unless all of the seats are installed and locked in position. Loose seats can become projectiles in a sudden stop or collision and cause serious personal injury or death.

Folding the front passenger's seatback

To fold the front passenger's seatback flat for extra storage length when transporting long items:

1.Slide the seat to the rearmost position. Lift up on the recline lever, located on the outside edge of the seat, and allow the seatback to fold forward as far as it will go.

2.Once the seatback is released, it will enable you to fold the front passenger seatback flat over the seat cushion.

3.To return the front passenger's seat to a seating position, lift up on the seatback and push it up to an upright position. Then pull up on the recline lever and lean the seatback to a proper seating position. Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.

WARNING

•If you fold the front passenger's seatback flat forward to carry longer objects, be sure this cargo is properly secured and not near an air bag. In a crash, an inflating air bag might force that object toward a person. This could cause severe injury or even death. Secure objects away from the area in which an air bag would inflate. For additional information, see “Precautions on SRS” (P. 1-53).

•Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the front passenger's seat when it is in the fold-down position. Use of these areas by passengers could result in serious injury or death in an accident or sudden stop.

CAUTION

Do not apply a load to the back of the table if it is not fully horizontal. Doing so may cause deformation/ malfunction.

NOTE:

The belt buckle must be in the forwardmost position for the seat to be folded to avoid premature aging.

REMOVING THE 2ND, 3RD AND 4TH ROW SEATS

WARNING

•Do not remove or install the seats while the vehicle is moving.

•Do not drive the vehicle unless all of the seats are installed and locked in position. Loose seats can become projectiles in a sudden stop or collision and cause serious personal injury or death.

•Do not sit in the seats that have been removed from the vehicle. The seats may tip over and cause personal injury.

•When adjusting or moving the seats in your vehicle, do not use any of the seat belt buckles, tongues or webbing to carry or move the seats. Lifting the seats by any of the seat belts can damage the seat belts. Damaged seat belts should be replaced. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. Failure to follow these instructions could increase the chance or severity of an injury in a collision or sudden stop.

CAUTION

•Do not drag the seats on the carpet to prevent damage to the carpet.

•The seats are heavy. To prevent personal injury, two people should remove or install the seat.

NOTE:

•When removing the 4th row seats, the driver's side seat should be removed before removing the passenger's side seat.

•Remove all necessary rail covers before removing or adjusting the seat.
