Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
.The power seat motor has an auto-
reset overload protection circuit. If the
motor stops during the seat adjust-
ment, wait 30 seconds, then reacti-
vate the switch.
. To avoid discharge of the battery, do
not operate the power seats for a long
period of time when the engine is not
running. See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-34)
for the seat position memory function.

.An object placed between the seat
cushion and center console or be-
tween the seat cushion and the door.
. An object hanging on the seat or
placed in the seatback pocket (If so
equipped).
. A child restraint or other object press-
ing against the rear of the seatback.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant wo-
men 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 recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons
use seat belts, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for specific re-
commendations.
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. Children should
be in the rear seats and in an
appropriate restraint.
. 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 inju-
ries. 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 and upright 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 Auto-
matic 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 ser-
iously 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.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” (P.1-3).)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of theretractor and insert the tongue into
the buckle
until you hear and feel
the latch engage.
.The retractor is designed to lock
during a sudden stop or on im-
pact. A slow pulling motion per-
mits the belt to move and allows
you some freedom of movement
in the seat.
.If the seat belt cannot be pulledfrom its fully retracted position,
firmly pull the belt and release it.
Then smoothly pull the belt out of
the retractor.
JVR0573X
3. Position the lap belt portion low and
snug on the hipsas 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 three-point seat belts in the front
passenger seat and the rear seating
positions have two modes of operation:
. Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
. Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
mode allows the seat belt to extend 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 Automatic Locking Retractor (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 after the seat belt fully
retracts. For additional information, see
“Child restraints” (P.1-21).
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 uncomforta-
ble seat belt tension.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that seatbacks are comple-
tely 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 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 retractor.
. 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 for-
ward quickly. The retractor should
lock and restrict further belt move-
ment.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check, get the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service, or to learn more about
seat belt operation.
SSS0351A
Shoulder belt height adjustment
(for front seats)
The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position best for you.
(See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-
12).)
To adjust, pull the adjustment button
,
and then move the shoulder belt anchor
to the desired position
, so 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
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 can
not be unbuckled or is already un-
buckled, 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
available from many other sources, in-
cluding doctors, teachers, government
traffic safety offices, and community or-
ganizations. Every child is different, so be
sure to learn the best way to transport
your child. 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. Generally, infants up to about
1 year and less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should
be placed in rear-facing child restraints.
Forward-facing child restraints are avail-
able for children who outgrow rear-facing
child restraints and are at least 1 year old.
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.
WARNING
Infants and children need special
protection. 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.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories require the use of approved
child restraints for infants and small
children. See “Child restraints” (P.1-21).
A child restraint may be secured in the
vehicle by using either the LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system
or with the vehicle seat belt. See “Child
restraints” (P.1-21) for more information.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear
seat. Studies show that children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
This is especially important because
your vehicle has a supplemental re-
straint system (Air bag system) for the
front passenger. See “Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS)” (P.1-42).
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
NISSAN recommends that infants be
placed in child restraints that comply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards. You should choose a child restraint
that fits your vehicle and always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for instal-
lation and use.

3. For child restraints that are equippedwith webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the
anchor attachments. Press downward
and rearward firmly in the center of
the child restraint with your hand to
compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while tightening the
webbing of the anchor attachments.
SSS0650
Rear-facing — step 4
4. After attaching the child restraint, testit before you place the child in it. Push
it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the LATCH attach-
ment 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 attach-
ment holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
LATCH attachment as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint or try installing
by using the vehicle seat belt (if
applicable). Not all child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
5. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat
steps 1 through 4.
REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. 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.
