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.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, and place the shoulder belt
over your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run 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
WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides
in this vehicle should use a seat
belt at all times.
. 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.

1-14Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode (child restraint mode) locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.
Pull the seat belt out until it is fully
extended to activate the ALR mode.
Detach the seat belt tongue from the
buckle and retract the seat belt comple-
tely to cancel the ALR mode and revert
back to the ELR mode.
When the ALR mode 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 “Child restraints” (P.1-19).
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 uncomfortable
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.
SSS0326
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.

SSS0588
Shoulder belt arm (for Coupe
models)
Before fastening the seat belt, pull the
shoulder belt arm forward until it clicks at
the detent position.
Pulling the arm forward will allow an easy
access to the belt.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position,
it is not possible to properly fit the lap-
shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender
that is compatible with the installed seat
belts is available that can be purchased.
The extender adds approximately 8 in
(200 mm) of length and may be used foreither the driver or front passenger seat-
ing position. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for assistance with pur-
chasing an extender if an extender is
required.
WARNING
.
It is recommended that only
NISSAN seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, be used with the NISSAN
seat belts.
. Adults and children who can use
the standard seat belt should not
use an extender. Such unneces-
sary use could result in serious
personal injury in the event of an
accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly,
the child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision or a
sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
.To clean the seat belt webbings,
apply a mild soap solution or any
solution recommended for cleaning
upholstery or carpets. Then, wipe with
a cloth and allow the seat belts to dry
in the shade. Do not allow the seat
belts to retract until they are comple-
tely 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 components
such as buckles, tongues, retractors,
flexible wires and anchors work prop-
erly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts
or other damage on the webbing is
found, the entire seat belt assembly
should be replaced.

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 re-
strained.
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
. Front-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 lb (9 kg)) should be
placed in rear-facing child restraints.
Front-facing child restraints are available
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 front-
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.1-19).)
Also, there are other types of child
restraints available for larger children for
additional protection.
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.
SMALL CHILDREN (for Coupe mod-
els)
Children that are over 1 year old and
weigh at least 20 lb (9 kg) should remain
in a rear-facing child restraint as long as
possible up to the height or weight limit
of the child restraint. Children who out-
grow the height or weight limit of the
rear-facing child restraint and are at least
1 year old should be secured in a forward-
facing child restraint with a harness. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for
minimum and maximum weight and
height recommendations. NISSAN recom-
CHILD SAFETY

1-20Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
iously injure or kill a child.
— Be sure to purchase a child restraint that will fit the child
and vehicle. Some child re-
straints may not fit properly
in your vehicle.
— Child restraint anchor points are designed to withstand
loads from child restraints
that are properly fitted.
— Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts or har-
nesses.
— A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be
used in the front passenger
seat (for Roadster models).
— Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child
restraint.
— Infants and children should always be placed in an appro-
priate child restraint while in
the vehicle.
. When the child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat
belt. In a sudden stop or collision,
loose objects can injure occu-
pants or damage the vehicle.CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle
can become very hot. Check the
seating surface and buckles before
placing a child in the child restraint.
In general, child restraints are designed to
be installed with the lap portion of a lap/
shoulder seat belt.
Several manufacturers offer child re-
straints for children of various sizes. When
selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:
. Choose only a restraint with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
. Check the child restraint in your
vehicle to be sure it is compatible with
the vehicle’s seat and seat belt sys-
tem.
. If the child restraint is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
child restraint and check the various
adjustments to be sure the child
restraint is compatible with your child.
Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child’s height and weight. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures.
The passenger seat is not suitable for use
with a rear-facing child restraint for
infants. Therefore, infants should not be
transported in this vehicle.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories require that infants and
small children be restrained in an ap-
proved child restraint at all times while
the vehicle is being operated. Canadian
law requires the top tether strap on
front-facing child restraints to be se-
cured to the designated anchor point
on the vehicle.
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE-
STRAINT (for Coupe models)
If the manufacturer of your child restraint
requires the use of a top tether strap, it
must be secured to an anchor point.
WARNING
. Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses or for
attaching other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so

SSS0641Front-facing — step 8
8. 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 seat belt 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 belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the seat belt as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 2 through 8.
SSS0988Front-facing — step 11
10. If the child restraint is installed in the
front passenger seat, push the igni-
tion switch to the ON position. The
front passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-38). Have the
system checked. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAP
(for Coupe models)
First, secure the child restraint with the
seat belt.
1. Flip down the flap marked with a labelas shown in the illustration.
2. Position the top tether strap over the top of the seatback and secure it to
the tether anchor bracket that pro-
vides the straightest installation.
3. Tighten the strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to re-
move any slack.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap, it is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
BOOSTER SEATS
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child
being injured in a sudden stop or
collision greatly increases:
. Make sure the shoulder portion of
the belt is away from the child’s
face and neck and the lap portion
of the belt does not cross the
stomach.
. Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the
child’s arm.
. A booster seat must only be
installed in a seating position that
has a lap/shoulder belt.

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information
concerning the following systems.
.Driver and passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag (NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System)
. Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag
. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bag
(Coupe models)
. Door-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag (Roadster mod-
els)
. Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag sys-
tem: The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem can help cushion the impact force to
the head and chest of the driver and front
passenger in certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag system: This system
can help cushion the impact force to the
chest and pelvis area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side impact
collisions. The front seat side-impact
supplemental air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system
(for Coupe models):
This system can help
cushion the impact force to the head of
the driver and front passenger in certain
side-impact or rollover collisions. In a
side-impact, the curtain air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover,
curtain air bags on both sides are de-
signed to inflate and remain inflated for a
short time.
Curtain air bags are also designed to
inflate in certain types of rollover colli-
sions or near rollovers. As a result, certain
vehicle movements may cause the cur-
tain air bags to inflate.
Door-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag system (for Road-
ster models): This system can help cush-
ion the impact force to the heads of the
driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The curtain air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to supplement the crash pro-
tection provided by the driver and pas-
senger seat belts and are not a
substitute for them. Seat belts should
always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the steering wheel, instrument pa-
nel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”
(P.1-10) for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn
off after about 7 seconds if the systems
are operational.
