SEATS
The seatback should not be reclined anymore 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.
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” later in this section.
After adjustment,gently rockin theseat 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.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Always adjust the head restraints prop­erly as specified in this section. Failure to doso can reduce the effectiveness of the Active Head Restraint.
Active Head Restraints are designed to supplement other safety systems. Al­ways wear seat belts. No system can prevent all injuries in any accident.
Do not attach anything to the head re­straint stalks. Doing so could impair Active Head Restraint function.
The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz­ing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the head restraint helps support the occu­pant’s head by reducing its backward movement and helping absorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active HeadRestraints are effective for collisions at low to medium speeds in which it is said that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints return to their original positions.
Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints as described earlier in this section.

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in the fold-down position. In a collision, people riding in these areas without proper restraints are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehiclethat is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.
Head restraints should be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident. Always replace and adjust them prop­erly if they have been removed for any reason.
If the head restraints 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 asudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.

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. See “Precautions on supplemental restraint system” later in this section.
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.

SEAT BELTS
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad­justed andyou are sitting upright and well backin your seat with both feeton the floor, your chances of beinginjured or killed in an accident and/orthe 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.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories specify that seat belts beworn at all times when a vehicle is being driven.
SSS0136
1-12 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
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.
SSS0134 SSS0016
WARNING
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 increase the chance or severity of injury in an acci­dent. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-13
SSS0014
WARNING
Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the belt behind your back, under your armor acrossyour 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. Forexample, 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 pretensioner has acti­vated, it cannot be reused and must be replaced together with the retractor. See your NISSAN dealer.
Removal and installation of 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 orimproper 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.
