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 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. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10).
. After adjustment, gently rock in
the seat to make sure it is se-
curely locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could
unknowingly activate switches
or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious
accidents. .
To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children,
people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk
of injury or death to people and
pets.
. The seatback should not be re-
clined any more than needed for
comfort. Seat belts are most ef-
fective when the passenger sits
well back and straight up in the
seat. If the seatback is reclined,
the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and being injured is in-
creased.
CAUTION
.When adjusting the seat posi-
tions, be sure not to contact any
moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damages.
SEATS

1-6Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supple-
ment the other vehicle safety sys-
tems. They may provide additional
protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjustable head
restraints/headrests must be ad-
justed properly, as specified in this
section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head re-
straint/headrest stalks or remove
the head restraint/headrest. Do not
use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the
head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust
the head restraint/headrest before
an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions can reduce the effectiveness of
the head restraint/headrest. This
may increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a collision.
SSS1007
The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with head restraints/
headrests.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
. Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
. Adjustable head restraints/headrests
have multiple notches along the stalk
to lock them in a desired adjustment
position.
. The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch
to secure them to the seat frame. .
Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the
head restraint/headrest so the
center of your ear is approximately
level with the center of the head
restraint/headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment,
place the head restraint/headrest
at the highest position.
. If the head restraint/headrest has
been removed, ensure that it is re-
installed and locked in place before
riding in that designated seating posi-
tion.
HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS

SSS0016
SSS0014
WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides
in this vehicle should use a seat
belt at all times.
. The seat belt should be properly
adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to
do so may reduce the effective-
ness of the entire restraint sys-
tem and increase the chance or
severity of injury in an accident.
Serious injury or death can occur
if the seat belt is not worn prop-
erly.
. 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 injuries in an
accident.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely 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 mal-
function in the system. Have the
system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. No changes should be made to
the seat belt system. For exam-
ple, do not modify 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. Modifying or tam-
pering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal
injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with

the retractor. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hard-
ware, should be inspected after
any collision. It is recommended
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 minor
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 improper operation is
noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Always follow
the restraint manufacturer’s in-
spection instructions and repla-
cement recommendations. The
child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT AND
CHIME
The driver and front passenger seats are
equipped with an enhanced seat belt
reminder function. If your vehicle is
equipped with an enhanced seat belt
reminder function, a visual and audible
alert will operate if a driver or front
passenger seat belt is unbuckled at
speeds of approximately 10 MPH (15
km/h) or more under the following con-
ditions:
.If the driver seat belt is not fastened.
. The front passenger’s seat belt is not
fastened and the seat is occupied by a
passenger for 7 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
. The front passenger’s seat belt is not
fastened and objects or external force
on the passenger seat change the
seat belt reminder classification to
“occupied”.
The seat belt warning light will flash
under the conditions shown above until
the necessary seat belt is securely fas-
tened.
A warning chime will sound for approxi-
mately 90 seconds or until one of the
following conditions is met:
. The unbuckled front passenger’s seat
belt is securely fastened.
. The seat belt reminder function in the
front passenger seat no longer de-
tects that the front passenger seat is
occupied.
. The ignition switch is turned off.
The below situations could result in the
seat belt warning light being illuminated
and the chime sounding, even with no
occupant present in the passenger seat:
. Heavy objects placed on the seat.
. Someone pushing or pulling on the
front passenger seat.
. An object placed under the front
passenger seat.
