WARNING

Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the fold-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury in an accident or sudden
stop.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areasare more likely to be seriously in-
jured or killed.

Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that 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 signifi-
cant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved 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.

Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do notplace cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.

When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched po-
sition. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.

When returning the seatbacks, be
sure to attach the rear center seat
belt connector.

Do not unfasten the rear center seat
belt connector except when folding
down the rear seat.

Do not remove the head restraints
except when folding down the rear
seat or using certain child restraints.

When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear cen-
ter seat belt connector is completely
secured.1-6

If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured in
the correct position, serious personal

sudden stop.
RecliningPull the reclining strap
1
and position the seat
back at the desired angle
2. Release the
reclining strap

after positioning the seat at
the desired angle.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes to help
obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on
seat belt usage” later in this section.) The seat-
back may also be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is parked.
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 re-
ceive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap
belt and receive serious internal inju-
ries.

For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back in the seat and adjust the
seat belt properly. See “Precautions
on seat belt usage” later in this sec-
tion.

After adjustment, check to be sure
the seat is securely locked.

3. Position the lap belt portionlow and snug
on the hipsas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack. Make sure the
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder
and across your chest.
The front passenger and rear seat belts have a
locking mechanism for child restraint installation.
It is referred to as the automatic locking mode.
When the locking mechanism is activated the
seat belt cannot be extended again until the seat
belt tongue is detached from the buckle and fully
retracted. For additional information, see “Childrestraints” later in this section.
The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child restraint installation.
During normal seat belt use by a passen-
ger, the locking mode should not be acti-
vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension. It can also
change the operation of the front passen-
ger air bag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.
WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that the seatbacks are com-
pletely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.

When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear cen-
ter seat belt connector is completely
secured.

If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured in
the correct position, serious personal
injury may result in an accident or
sudden stop.

ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure it is securely fixed in po-
sition.

chance or severity of injury in an
accident.

When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear cen-
ter seat belt connector is completely
secured.

If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured in

Storing rear seat belt bucklesBefore folding down the seat, put the buckles in
the storage of the seat cushion to avoid drop-
ping it under the seat cushion.SEAT BELT EXTENDERSIf, because of body size or driving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt
and fasten it, an extender is available. The ex-
tender adds approximately 8 inches (200 mm) of
length and may be used for either the driver or
front passenger seating position. See a NISSAN
dealer for assistance if the extender is required.
WARNING

Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,
made by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, should be used with 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 in-
jury in the event of an accident.

Never use seat belt extenders to in-
stall child restraints. If the child re-
straint 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 webbings,apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then brush the webbing, wipe it with a cloth
and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not allow
the seat belts to retract until they are com-
pletely dry.
