SEATS
Information Provided by:
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.
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. For additional information, refer to “Precautions on seat belt usage” in this section.
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.

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, refer to “Pre­cautions on seat belt usage” in this section.

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests 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 restraints/headrests. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
Information Provided by:
multiple notches along the stalks to lock them in a desired adjustment position.
The non-adjustable head restraints/headrests 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

SEAT BELTS
Information Provided by:
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.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories specify that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven.
1-10 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
SSS0136
WARNING
Information Provided by:
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 1-11
Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
Information Provided by:
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
SSS0014
WARNING
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
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.
increase the risk of internal injuries in an accident.
1-12 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
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 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
Information Provided by:
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 run the lap/shoulder belt over your ab­dominal area. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific recommendations.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT WITH RETRACTOR
WARNING
Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
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 belt properly.
Do not allow children to play with the seat belts. Most seating positions are equipped with Automatic Locking Re­tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR mode activated, the child can be seriously injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and becomes tight. This can occur even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release the child. If the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release the child by cutting the seat belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to release the seat belt.
