SSS0133A

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 belt properly. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-7).)

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.

or sudden stop.

. Do not fold down the rear seats when

occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.

. Properly secure all luggage to help prevent it

from sliding or shifting. Do not place luggage higher than the seatbacks.

. 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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

GUID-1D2DB560-F0D1-4E17-A618-221460107213

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.

GUID-B24797EF-9596-4C08-A632-05BD45FC2BE9

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.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-7

(26,1)

WARNING:

. Seatbelts 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

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 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 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.

. 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.

. 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.

. 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 components (if equipped) should be done by a NISSAN dealer.

CHILD SAFETY

GUID-50FE0FCD-DBC6-4BF8-A13A-E3AFA74EB719

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.

Infants and small children

GUID-9EA9FF02-4615-4E08-8998-8897493078B8

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

GUID-7EC09A67-00D1-4A31-9107-8BC52BC8A5CE

WARNING:

. Never allow children to stand or kneel on

any seats.

. Never allow children in the cargo 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

GUID-EB362D86-544D-4564-AF14-2AA962BFFC63

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

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.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

GUID-F2068D73-379A-46BC-9200-AB7FD98E9DCB

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINT USAGE

. Infants and small children should always be

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

. 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, do not put the same seat belt around both your child and yourself.

. NISSAN recommends that the child re-

straints be installed in the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

. Improper use or improper installation of a

child restraint can increase the risk or severity of injury for both the child and other occupants of the vehicle and can lead to

GUID-843A7C9C-1266-4B11-9B92-C7AD768A370E

SSS0099

WARNING:

serious injury or death in an accident.

. Follow all of the child restraint manufac-

turer’s instructions for installation and use. When purchasing a child restraint, 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 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.

. Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned

to fit the child restraint, but as upright as possible.

. After attaching a child restraint, test it

before you place the child in it. Push it from side to side and tug it forward to make sure that it is held securely in place. The child restraint 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.

. When the child restraint 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.

. Never install a rear-facing child restraint on

the front passenger’s seat when the front passenger’s air bag is available. Supplemental front-impact air bags inflate with great force. A rear-facing child restraint could be struck by the supplemental frontimpact air bags in an accident and could seriously injure or kill your child.

. If the seat belt in the position where a child

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

CAUTION:

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

NISSAN recommends that infants and small children be seated in a child restraint. You should choose a child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. In addition, there are many types of child restraints available for larger children that should be used for maximum protection.

CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE (if equipped)

Your vehicle is designed to accommodate a child restraint system on the rear seat. When installing a child restraint system, carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual and those supplied with the child restraint system.

. Child restraint anchorages are designed to

withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage the child restraint anchorages. The child restraint will not be
