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.1-20).

Folding:
Push and hold the front side of the switch
located on the passenger side of the
cargo room. The corresponding seatback
(R: right side, L: left side) will be folded
down automatically.
Push and hold the rear side of the switch
. The seatback will be returned auto-
matically. The seatback will rise up while
holding the switch.
NOTE:
Operating the power folding seats can
discharge the vehicle battery if the
engine is not running.
CAUTION
When operating the rear power seat-
back return, make sure that the
vehicle is stopped and the transmis-
sion is in the P (Park) position.
WARNING
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat
when it is in the fold-down posi-
tion. Use of these areas by pas-
sengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury in an
accident or sudden stop.
. When returning the seatbacks to
the upright position, be certain
they are completely secured in
the latched position. If they are
not completely secured, passen-

seat. Studies show that children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
This is especially important because
your vehicle has a supplemental re-
straint system (Air bag system) for the
front passenger. See “Supplemental re-
straint system” (P.1-54).
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
Children that are over 1 year old and
weigh at least 20 lbs (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 andheight recommendations. NISSAN recom-
mends that small children be placed in
child restraints that comply with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Cana-
dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle and always follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions for installation
and use.
LARGER CHILDREN
Children should remain in a forward-
facing child restraint with a harness until
they reach the maximum height or
weight limit allowed by the child restraint
manufacturer.
Once a child outgrows the height or
weight limit of the harness-equipped
forward-facing child restraint, NISSAN
recommends that the child be placed in
a commercially available booster seat to
obtain proper seat belt fit. For a seat belt
to fit properly, the booster seat should
raise the child so that the shoulder belt is
properly positioned across the chest and
the top, middle portion of the shoulder.
The shoulder belt should not cross the
neck or face and should not fall off the
shoulder. The lap belt should lie snugly
across the lower hips or upper thighs, not
the abdomen.
A booster seat can only be used in
seating positions that have a three-pointtype seat belt. The booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and have a label certify-
ing that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
A booster seat should be used until the
child can pass the seat belt fit test below:
.
Are the child’s back and hips against
the vehicle seatback?
. Is the child able to sit without slouch-
ing?
. Do the child’s knees bend easily over
the front edge of the seat with feet flat
on the floor?
. Can the child safely wear the seat belt
(lap belt low and snug across the hips
and shoulder belt across mid-chest
and shoulder)?
. Is the child able to use the properly
adjusted head restraint/headrest?
. Will the child be able to stay in position
for the entire ride?
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-31

.The curtain air bags ordinarily will
not inflate in the event of a front
impact, rear impact, or lower
severity side collision. Always
wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of acci-
dents.
. The seat belts, the side air bags
and curtain air bags are most
effective when you are sitting
well back and upright in the seat.
The side air bags and curtain air
bags inflate with great force. Do
not allow anyone to place their
hand, leg or face near the side air
bags on the side of the seatback
of the front seat or near the side
roof rails. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seats or rear
outboard seats to extend their
hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples
of dangerous riding positions are
shown in the previous illustra-
tions.
. When sitting in the rear seat, do
not hold onto the seatback of the
front seat. If the side air bag
inflates, you may be seriously
injured. Be especially careful with
children, who should always be properly restrained. Some exam-
ples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the
illustrations.
. Do not use seat covers on the
front seatbacks. They may inter-
fere with side air bags inflation.

tion, the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn
sounds intermittently.
. The alarm automatically turns off
after approximately 50 seconds. How-
ever, the alarm reactivates if the
vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by: .
Unlocking the door or opening the
liftgate without using the button on
the Intelligent Key, the door handle
request switch or the mechanical key.
