WARNING
• Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be in the
rear seats and in an appropriate re-
straint.
• The seat belt should be properly ad- justed 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.
• 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 in-
juries in an accident.
• Be sure the seat belt tongue is se- curely 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 ve- hicle than there are seat belts.
• If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the power switch
is turned ON with all doors closed
and all seat belts fastened, it may
indicate a malfunction in the sys-
tem. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
• No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do
not modif y the seat belt, add mate-
rial, or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or ten-
sion. Doing so may affect the opera-
tion of the seat belt system. Modif y-
ing or tampering with the seat belt
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
1-12Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

• Once seat belt pretensioner(s) haveactivated, they cannot be reused
and must be replaced together with
the retractor. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
• All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected af ter any colli-
sion. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies
in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and con-
tinue to operate properly. Seat belt
assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
• All child restraints and attaching hardware should be inspected af ter
any collision. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturer’s inspection
instructions and replacement rec-
ommendations. The child restraints
should be replaced if they are dam-
aged.
SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
Both the driver’s and passenger’s front
seats are equipped with a seat belt warn-
ing light. The warning light, located on the
instrument panel, will show the status of
the driver and passenger seat belt.
NOTE:
The front passenger seat belt warn-
ing light will not light up if the seat is
not occupied.
For additional information, refer to “Warn-
ing lights, indicator lights and audible re-
minders” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
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 rec-
ommendations.
INJURED PERSONS

3. Position the lap belt portionlow and
snug on the hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure
the shoulder belt is routed over your
shoulder and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear
seating positions three-point seat belts
have two modes of operation:
• Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
• Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) The ELR mode allows the seat belt to ex-
tend and retract to allow the driver and
passengers some freedom of movement
in the seat. The ELR locks the seat belt
when the vehicle slows down rapidly or
during certain impacts.
The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks
the seat belt for child restraint installation.
When ALR mode is activated the seat belt
cannot be extended again until the seat
belt tongue is detached from the buckle
and fully retracted. The seat belt returns to
the ELR mode af ter the seat belt fully re-
tracts. For additional information, refer to
“Child restraints” in this section.
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During nor-
mal 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
operation of the front passenger air bag.
For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be cer-
tain that seatbacks are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they
are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or
sudden stop.
Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-15

4. Af ter attaching the child restraint, test itbefore you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the seat
near the LATCH attachment path. The
child restraint should not move more
than 1 inch (25 mm), from side to side. Try
to tug it forward and check to see if the
LATCH attachment holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the LATCH attachment as nec-
essary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to
try a different child restraint or try install- ing by using the vehicle seat belt (if ap-
plicable). Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles.
5. Check to make sure that the child re- straint is properly secured prior to each
use. If the child restraint is loose, repeat
steps 2 through 4.

WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag
and status light” in this section. For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the “Child safety” and
“Child restraints” sections of this manual

use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and child restraint ex-
ceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint. Be sure to follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation.
