As with other vehicles with fea­tures of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident. Be sure to read “On-pavement and off-road driving pre­cautions”, “Avoiding collision and roll­over” and “Driving safety precautions” in the “5. Starting and driving” section of this manual.
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHI­CLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Modification could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems result­ing from modification may not be covered under NISSAN warranties.

SEATS
. 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
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. See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-9).
. 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.

REAR SEATS Folding
Before folding the rear seats:
. Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks
on the side wall. (See “Seat belt hooks” (P.1-15).)
. Release the connector tongue of the rear
center seat belt from the buckle, and store the connector and seat belt tongues into the retractor base on the ceiling. (See “Rear center seat belt” (P.1-15).)

. Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat area or any objects are on the rear seats.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in the fold-down position. Use of these areas by passengers without proper re­straints could result in serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps 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.
. 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/HEADRESTS
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest 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 restraint/ headrest. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions equipped with head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a headrest. + Indicates the seating position is not equipped
with a head restraint or headrest. . Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be integrated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
. Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them in a desired adjustment position.
. The non-adjustable head restraints/head-
rests have a single locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.
. Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of your ear is approximately level with the center of the head restraint/headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than the
recommended alignment, place the head restraint/headrest at the highest position.
. If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in place before riding in that desig­nated seating position.

SEAT BELTS
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your 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 a supplemental air bag.
SSS0136
SSS0134
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-9
WARNING
. 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.
. The seat belt should be properly
adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the entire restraint system and in-
SSS0016
SSS0014
1-10 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
crease the chance or severity of injury in an accident. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
. Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
. 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.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper buckle.
. Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its effectiveness.
. Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is turned ON with all doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it may in­dicate a malfunction in the system. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
. No changes should be made to the
seat belt system. For example, do not modify the seat belt, add mate­rial, or install devices that may change the seat belt routing or tension. Doing so may affect the operation of the seat belt system. Modifying or tampering with the seat belt system may result in serious personal injury.
. Once a seat belt with pretensioner
has activated, it cannot be reused and must be replaced together with the retractor. See a NISSAN dealer.
. Removal and installation of the
pretensioner system components should be done by a NISSAN dealer.
. 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 replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected after any collision. Always follow the restraint manufacturer’s inspection instructions and replacement re­commendations. The child restraints should be replaced if they are
damaged.
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 and across your chest. Never put the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.
