PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLE-
MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information con-
cerning the driver and passenger supple-
mental front air bags, supplemental side air
bags and pre-tensioner seat belts.
Supplemental front air bag system:This
system can help cushion the impact force to
the face and chest of the driver and front
passenger in certain frontal collisions.
Supplemental side air bag system (if so
equipped):This system can help cushion
the impact force to the head and the chest
area of the driver and front passenger in
certain side impact collisions The supple-
mental side air bag is designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed tosupplementthe crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and front passen-
ger seat belts and arenot a substitutefor
them. Seat belts should always be correctly
worn and the driver and front passenger
seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel and front
door finishers. (See ``Seat belts'' later in this

point which is located directly behind the
child seat.

signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-

they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Anchor point locations
Anchor points are located on the rear parcel
shelf finisher.

dows, do not use sharp-edged tools,
abrasive cleaners or chlorine based
disinfectant cleaners. They could dam-
age the electrical conductors, radio an-
tenna, or rear window defogger ele-
ments.

interior trim, plastic parts and seats using a
vacuum cleaner or soft brush. Wipe the
vinyl and leather surfaces with a clean, soft
cloth dampened in mild soap solution, then
wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth. Before
using any fabric protector, read the manu-
facturer's recommendations. Some fabric
protectors contain chemicals that may stain
or bleach the seat material. Use a cloth
dampened only with water, to clean the
meter and gauge lens.

similar material.
cThe leather seats should be regu-
larly coated with a leather wax like
saddle soap. Never use car wax.

recommended by the manufacturer.
cDo not use glass or plastic cleaner
on meter or gauge lens covers. It
may damage the lens cover.

Floor mat positioning aid
(Driver's side only)
This vehicle includes a front floor mat
bracket to act as a floor mat positioning aid.
NISSAN floor mats have been specially
designed for your vehicle model. The driv-
er's side floor mat has a grommet hole
incorporated in it. Position the mat by plac-
ing the floor mat bracket hook through the
floor mat grommet hole while centering the
mat in the footwell.
Periodically check to make certain the mats
are properly positioned.
SEAT BELTS
The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping
them with a sponge dampened in a mild
soap solution. Allow the belts to dry com-
pletely in the shade before using them. See
ªSeat belt maintenanceº in the ªSeats, re-
straints and supplemental air bag systemsº
section of this owner's manual.
WARNING
Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in
the retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye,
or chemical solvents to clean the seat
belts, since these may severely weaken
the seat belt webbing.
MOST COMMON FACTORS
CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE
CORROSION
1. The accumulation of moisture-retaining
dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas.
2. Damage to paint and other protective
coatings caused by gravel and stone
chips or minor traffic accidents.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN-
FLUENCE THE RATE OF COR-
ROSION
Moisture
Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the
vehicle body underside can accelerate cor-
rosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry com-
pletely inside the vehicle, and should be
removed for drying to avoid floor panel
corrosion.
Relative humidity
Corrosion will be accelerated:
cin areas of high relative humidity.
cin areas where the temperatures stay
above freezing.
