FRONT POWER SEAT
ADJUSTMENT (for Roadster models)
WARNING
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation.
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.Operating tipsThe seat motor has an auto-reset overload
protection circuit. If the motor stops during
operation, wait 30 seconds, then reactivate
the switch.
Do not operate the power support seat
for a long period of time when the engine is
off. This will discharge the battery.

Forward and backward
Moving the sliding switch forward or backward
will slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position.
When sliding the passenger’s seat backward,
be careful not to crush items in the seatback
pocket against the rear floor box.2
Reclining
Move the reclining switch backward until the
desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward, move the switch forward and move your
body forward. The seatback will move forward.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.
Automatic passenger seatback tilt
functionThe passenger seatback will automatically tilt
forward and backward during the soft top
open/close operation. If you need to cancel this
function or when a child restraint is installed in
the passenger’s seat, push the seatback tilt
cancel switch to the CANCEL position. For more

includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel as-
sembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad, above the dash-
board, or by installing additional trim
material around the air bag system.
Work around and on the supplemen-
tal front air bag system should be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment should
also be done by a NISSAN dealer.
The yellow and orange Supplemental
Restrain System (SRS) wiring and
connectors should not be modified or
disconnected. Unauthorized electri-
cal test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the air
bag system.
A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-
pair facility. A cracked windshield
could affect inflation of the supple-
mental air bag system.
The SRS wiring harness connectors
are yellow and orange for easyidentification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the supplemental front air
bag system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
Supplemental side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag systems (if so
equipped)This section includes the information about both
the supplemental side air bag system
Aand the
supplemental curtain side-impact air bag system
B. Curtain side-impact air bags are not avail-
able on Roadster models.
The supplemental side air bags are located in
the outside of the seatback of the front seats.
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bags
are located in the side roof rails. These systems
are designed to meet voluntary guidelines to

member never to use a child restraint
unless an air bag ON/OFF switch has
been installed and is being used
properly.)
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCETo 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.
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may
retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide
with a clean, dry cloth.
Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal componentssuch as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires
and anchors work properly. If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire belt assembly
should be replaced.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
The information in this section is pro-
vided only for those owners who have
received permission to install an air bag
ON/OFF switch and the switch has been
installed. See “Obtaining an air bag
ON/OFF switch” earlier in this manual.
Never let children 12 or under ride in this
vehicle unless an air bag ON/OFF
switch is installed and it is being prop-
erly used.
WARNING
Infants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while riding in the ve-
hicle. Failure to use a child restraint
can result in serious injury or death.
Infants and small children should
never be carried on your lap. It is notpossible for even the strongest adult
to resist the forces of a severe acci-
dent. The child could be crushed be-
tween the adult and parts of the ve-
hicle. Also, do not put the same seat
belt around both your child and your-
self.
Never install a child restraint in the
front seat unless an air bag ON/OFF
switch has been installed and the air
bag has been turned OFF. An inflat-
ing supplemental air bag could seri-
ously injure or kill your child.
An improperly installed child re-
straint could lead to serious injury or
death in an accident.
CAUTION
For Roadster models, when installing a
child restraint, be sure to turn off the
automatic passenger seatback tilt func-
tion with the seatback tilt cancel switch
