1-2Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
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. (“Precautions on seat
belt usage” page 1-6)
. After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents. .
The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger sits with their back
straight up and contacting 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 or damage.
NOTICE
Make sure the front seatback does not
contact the rear seat when reclining the
seat. When the front seat is reclined to
the rearmost position, it may contact
the rear seat. This may cause an
indentation in the seatback.
SEATS

WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be prop-
erly 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-
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 acci-
dent.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-7

1-8Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.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 in-
dicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
. No changes should be made to the
seat belt system. For example, do
not modify the seat belt, add mate-
rial, 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 a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. Removal and installation of the
pretensioner system components
should be done by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any colli-
sion by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced un-
less the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue
to operate properly. Seat belt as-
semblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or impro-
per 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 re- commendations. The child restraints
should be replaced if they are
damaged.

PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat \felts. The seat \felt should \fe worn snug\b
and always position the lap \felt as low as
possi\fle around the hips\b not the waist. Place
the shoulder \felt over your shoulder and across
your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder \felt over
your a\fdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons use
seat \felts. 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 posi-
tions 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 can not 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.

of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat
�felt when the vehicle slows down ra�bidly or
during im�bacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode or
child restraint mode locks the seat �felt for child
restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat �felt
cannot �fe extended again until the seat �felt
tongue is detached from the �fuckle and fully
retracted. The seat �felt returns to the ELR mode
after the seat �felt is fully retracted.
(
“Child restraints” �bage 1-15)
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR
mode should not be activated. If it is
activated it may cause uncomfortable seat
belt tension. It can also change the opera-
tion of the front passenger air bag.
(
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” page 1-41)
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that seatbacks are completely
secured in the latched position. If they
are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden
stop.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat �felt, �bush the �futton on the
�fuckle. The seat �felt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat �felt retractors are designed to lock seat
�felt movement �fy two se�barate methods:
.
When the �felt is �bulled quickly from the
retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down ra�bidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat �felts,
check the o�beration as follows:
. Gras�b the shoulder �felt and �bull forward

quickly. The retractor shoul�f lock an�f
restrict further belt �bove�bent.
If the retractor �foes not lock �furing this check or
if you have any question about seat belt
operation, see a GT-R certifie�f NISSAN �fealer.
Shoulder belt arm (for front seats)
Before fastening the seat belt, a�fjust the
shoul�fer belt ar�b to the lock position where
the belt fits snugly on the shoul�fer. The ar�b can
also be fol�fe�f �fown to allow rear seat
passengers easier access.
Pulling the ar�b forwar�f will allow an easy access
to the belt.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of bo�fy size or �friving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap-shoul�fer belt
an�f fasten it, an exten�fer that is co�bpatible with
the installe�f seat belts is available that can be
purchase�f. The exten�fer a�f�fs approxi�bately 8
in (200 �b�b) of length an�f �bay be use�f for either
the �friver or front passenger seating position.
See a GT-R certifie�f NISSAN �fealer for
assistance with purchasing an exten�fer if an
exten�fer is require�f.
WARNING
. Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,
made by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, should be used with the
NISSAN seat belts.
. Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal
injury in the event of an accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured in a

collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets�f
Then, wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
�belts to dry in the shade�f Do not allow the
seat �belts to retract until they are completely
dry�f
. If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt
guide of the seat �belt anchors, the seat
�belts may retract slowly�f Wipe the shoulder
�belt guide with a clean, dry cloth�f
. Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components such as
�buckles, tongues, retractors, flexi�ble wires
and anchors work properly�f If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
we�b�bing is found, the entire seat �belt
assem�bly should �be replaced�f
WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, 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
can not 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.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is availa�ble from
many other sources, including doctors, teachers,
government traffic safety offices, and community
organizations�f Every child is different, so �be sure
to learn the �best way to transport your child�f
There are three �basic types of child restraint systems:
.
Rear-facing child restraint
. Forward-facing child restraint
. Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size�f
Generally, infants (up to a�bout 1 year and less
than 20 l�b (9 kg)) should �be placed in rear-
facing child restraints�f Forward-facing child
restraints are availa�ble for children who outgrow
rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1
year old�f Booster seats are used to help position
a vehicle lap/shoulder �belt on a child who can no
longer use a forward-facing child restraint�f
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. 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 hip
bones. In an accident, an improperly
fitting seat belt could cause serious or
fatal injury. Always use appropriate
child restraints.
All U�fS�f states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved child
