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 receive
neck or other serious injuries. 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 in the
seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat properly. See “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” later in this
section.
● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
● Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents. ●
The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger 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 increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

Tip up for easy entry to the 3rd row
The outboard seating positions on the 2nd row
bench seat can be tipped forward for easy entry
or exit from the 3rd row bench seat. To enter the
3rd row
1, lift up on the seatback latch located
on the upper corner of the seatback on the 2nd
row bench seat and fold the seatback forward at
an angle over the seat base. This will release the
back of the seat so it may be tipped forward. Then
2lift up on the lower corner of the seat
base and tip the outboard seating position of the
2nd row bench seat forward. To exit the 3rd row
bench seat, lift up on the same seatback latch
and fold the seatback forward onto the seat base.
Then lift up on the seat base and tip it forward.
WARNING
When returning the seatbacks to the up-
right position, be certain they are com-
pletely secured in the latched position. If
they are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or
sudden stop.

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
●Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seats when they are
in the fold-down position. In a collision,
people riding in these areas without
proper restraints are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
● Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone
in your vehicle is in a seat and using a
seat belt properly.
● Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seats.
● Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide significant
protection against injury in an accident.
Always replace and adjust them prop-
erly if they have been removed for any
reason. ●
If the head restraints are removed for
any reason, they should be securely
stored to prevent them from causing
injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or an
accident.
● When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seatbacks.
In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
Folding the front passenger’s seatback
(if so equipped)
To fold the front passenger’s seatback flat for
extra storage length when transporting long
items:
1Slide the seat to the rear-most position by
moving the switch backward until the seat
comes to a stop. Then recline the seatback
as far forward as possible using the recline
switch. Lift up on the latch located on the
upper corner of the seatback to release the
back of the seat.

the seat cushion and properly raise the
seatback to an upright position. Then
push the seat cushion down into place. 8. Rotate the head restraint forward to return it
to the normal seating position.
WARNING
When the seat is returned to the normal
seating position, the head restraints must
be returned to the upright position to
properly protect vehicle occupants.
Folding the 3rd row split bench seat (if
so equipped)
To fold the 3rd row split bench seat flat for
maximum cargo capacity:
1. Disconnect and secure the center seat belt and tongues into the retractor base. See
“Stowing the 3rd row center seat belt” later
in this section.

LRS0792
1-22Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
●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 con-
tinuously 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 by a NISSAN dealer.
● No changes should be made to the seat
belt system. For example, 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 tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. ●
Once a seat belt pretensioner has acti-
vated, it cannot be reused and must be
replaced together with the retractor.
See your NISSAN dealer.
● Removal and installation of preten-
sioner system components should be
done by a NISSAN dealer.
● All seat belt assemblies, including re-
tractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any collision
by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision be replaced un-
less 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 hard-
ware should be inspected after any col-
lision. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer’s inspection instructions
and replacement recommendations.
The child restraints should be replaced
if they are damaged.

3Position the lap belt portionlow and snug
on the hips as shown.
4Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder
and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear seating
positions three-point seat belts have two modes
of operation: ● Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
● Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
allows the seat belt to extend and retract to allow
the driver and passengers some freedom of
movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat belt
when the vehicle slows down rapidly or during
certain impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode
(child restraint mode) locks the seat belt for child
restraint installation.
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. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode
after the seat belt fully retracts. See “Child re-
straints” later in this section for more information.
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode
should not be activated. If it is activated, it
may cause uncomfortable seat belt ten-
sion. It can also change the operation of
the front passenger air bag. See “Front
passenger air bag and status light” later in
this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that the seatbacks are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are
not completely secured, passengers may
be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

Unfastening the seat belts
1To unfasten the seat belt, press the button on
the buckle. The seat belt automatically re-
tracts.
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 forward
quickly. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check or
if you have any questions about seat belt opera-
tion, see a NISSAN dealer.
Center of the 3rd row bench seat
The 3rd row center seat belt has a connector
tongue
1and a seat belt tongue2. Both the
connector tongue and the seat belt tongue must
be securely latched for proper seat belt opera-
tion.
WRS0139SSS0240
1-30Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
●Always fasten the connector tongue
and the seat belt in the order shown.
● Always make sure both the connector
tongue and the seat belt tongue are
secured when using the seat belt or
installing a child restraint. Do not use
the seat belt or child restraint with only
the seat belt tongue attached. This
could result in serious personal injury in
case of an accident or a sudden stop. Stowing the 3rd row center seat belt
When folding down the 3rd row seat, the 3rd row
center seat belt can be retracted into a stowed
position as follows:
1Hold the connector tongue so that the seat
belt does not retract suddenly when the
tongue is released from the connector
buckle. Release the connector tongue by
inserting a suitable tool such as a key into the
connector buckle
A.
2Retract the seat belt up to the retractor base.
3Insert the seat belt tongue into the fabric
sleeve so it will lay flat. Then secure the
connector tongue into the retractor base.
