WARNING
∙ Always route the shoulder belt overyour 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 inju-
ries 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 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 indicate a
malfunction in the system. Have the
system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
∙ No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do not
modif y the seat belt, add material, or
install devices that may change the
seat belt routing or tension. Doing so
may affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modif ying or tampering
with the seat belt system may result
in serious personal injury. ∙ Once seat belt pretensioner(s) have
activated, they cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the
retractor. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
∙ All seat belt assemblies, including re- tractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected af ter any colli-
sion. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was mi-
nor and the belts show no damage
and continue to operate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use during
a collision 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 in-
structions and replacement recom-
mendations. The child restraints
should be replaced if they are
damaged.

To unfasten the seat belt, press the button
on the buckle

cally retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement by two separate
methods:
∙ When the seat 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 movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check, get the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service, or to learn more about seat
belt operation.
Shoulder belt height adjustment
(front seats)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. For
additional information, refer to “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” in this section. To
adjust, pull out the adjustment button
1
and move the shoulder belt anchor to the
desired position
2, so the belt passes over
the center of the shoulder. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder. Release the ad-
justment button to lock the shoulder belt
anchor into position.

imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the pas-
senger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, please observe the following
items.
∙ Do not allow a passenger in the rearbench seats (if so equipped) to push
or pull on the seatback pocket.
∙ Do not place heavy loads heavier than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) on the seatback, head
restraint or in the seatback pocket.
∙ Do not store luggage behind the seat that can press into the seatback.
∙ Do not position the front passenger seat so it contacts the rear bench
seats (if so equipped). If the front seat
does contact the rear bench seats (if
so equipped), the air bag system may
determine a sensor malfunction has
occurred and the front passenger air
bag status light may illuminate and
the supplemental air bag warning
light may flash. ∙ If a forward-facing child restraint is
installed in the front passenger seat,
do not position the front passenger
seat so the child restraint contacts the
instrument panel. If the child restraint
does contact the instrument panel,
the system may determine the seat as
occupied and the passenger air bag
may deploy in a collision. Also the
front passenger air bag status light
may not illuminate. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Child restraints” in
this section.
∙ Confirm the operating condition with the front passenger air bag status
light.
∙ If you notice that the front passenger air bag status light is not operating as
described in this section, get the oc-
cupant classification system checked.
It is recommended that you take your
vehicle to a NISSAN dealer for this
service. ∙ Until you have confirmed with a
dealer that your passenger seat occu-
pant classification system is working
properly, position the occupants in
the rear seating positions (if so
equipped). Do not use the front seat or
transport a child in the vehicle (Single
Cab and King Cab® Rear Seat Delete
models only).
This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. All of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the steering
wheel. The front passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag is mounted in the
dashboard above the glove box. The front
air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. They may not in-
flate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle
damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper front air bag system op-
eration.

with the seat occupied. The light will not
illuminate when the front passenger seat is
unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
front passenger air bag status light is illu-
minated (indicating that the air bag is OFF),
it could be that the person is a small adult,
or is not sitting on the seat properly or not
using the seat belt properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front
seat, the front passenger air bag status
light may or may not be illuminated, de-
pending on the size of the child and the
type of child restraint being used. Always
make sure that the child restraint is in-
stalled properly, the seat belt is used prop-
erly and the occupant is positioned prop-
erly.
If necessary, a NISSAN dealer can check
system operation by using a special tool.
Until you have confirmed with a dealer that
your air bag is working properly, reposition
the occupant or child restraint in a rear
seat (if so equipped). Do not use the front
seat or transport a child in the vehicle
(Single Cab and King Cab® Rear Seat Delete
models only).
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System and
front passenger air bag status light willtake a few seconds to register a change in
the front passenger seat status. For ex-
ample, if a large adult who is sitting in the
front passenger seat exits the vehicle, the
front passenger air bag status light will go
from OFF to ON for a few seconds and then
to OFF. This is normal system operation
and does not indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passen-
ger air bag system, the supplemental air
bag warning light
, located in the me-
ter and gauges area of the instrument
panel, will blink. Have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

In order for the occupant classification
sensor system to classif y the front passen-
ger based on weight, please follow the pre-
cautions and steps outlined below:
