Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the
buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt
movement by two separate methods:
• When the belt is pulled quickly from the retrac-tor.
• When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows:
• Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and restrict
further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check or
if you have any questions about seat belt opera-
tion, see a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Shoulder belt height adjustment (for
front seats)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-
justed to the position that is best for you. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage” in this section.
To adjust, pull the adjustment button
1, and then
move the shoulder belt anchor to the preferred
position
2so that the belt passes over the
center of the shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not falling off of your
shoulder. Release the adjustment button to lock
the shoulder belt anchor into position.

WARNING
• After adjustment, release the adjust- ment button and then try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure that it is securely fixed in
position.
• The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position that
is best for you. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.

For details, see “Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren System (LATCH)” in this section.
If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints for
infants and small children of various sizes. When
selecting any child restraint, keep the following
points in mind:
• Choose only a restraint with a label certifyingthat it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 213.
• Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat and
seat belt system.
• If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be sure
the child restraint is compatible with your child.
Choose a child restraint that is designed for
your child’s height and weight. Always follow all
recommended procedures.
• If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , you may
use either the LATCH anchors or the seat belt to
install the child restraint (not both at the same
time) . • If the combined weight of the child and child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs, (29.5 kg) use the
vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint.
• Be sure to follow the child restraint manufactur- er’s instructions for installation.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated. Canadian law requires the
top tether strap on forward-facing child re-
straints be secured to the designated an-
chor point on the vehicle.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren System (LATCH)
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren System (LATCH) compat-
ible child restraints. This system may also be
referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible
system. With this system, you do not have to use
a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint
unless the combined weight of the child and child
restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg) . If the com-
bined weight of the child and child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs, (29.5 kg) use the vehicle’s

Be careful not to clog the washer nozzleA. This
may cause improper windshield washer opera-
tion. If the nozzle is clogged, remove any objects
with a needle or small pin
B. Be careful not to
damage the nozzle. Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer if
checking or replacement is required.
If the brakes do not operate properly, have the
brakes checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
WARNING
Do not adjust the height of the brake
pedal. Doing so could alter the effective-
ness of the brakes, which could result in a
serious accident and personal injury. If
adjustment is required, contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING
The disc brake pads have audible wear warnings.
When a brake pad requires replacement, it will
make a high pitched scraping sound when the
vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound will first
occur only when the brake pedal is depressed.
After more wear of the brake pad, the sound will
always be heard even if the brake pedal is not
depressed. Have the brakes checked as soon as
possible if the wear warning sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions, occa-
sional brake squeak, squeal or other noise may
be heard. Occasional brake noise during light to
moderate stops is normal and does not affect the
function or performance of the brake system.
