the retractor.
SSS0290
3. Position the lap belt portionlow and
snug on the hips as shown.
4. Pull 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 three-point type 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 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. For additional informa-
tion, see “Child restraints” (P.1-32).
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 uncomforta-
ble 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.

Stowing 3rd row center seat belt:
When folding down the 3rd row seat, the
3rd center seat belt can be retracted into
a stowed position.
1. Hold the connector tongue
so that
the seat belt does not retract sud-
denly when the tongue is released
from the connector buckle. Release
the connector tongue by inserting a
suitable tool such as key
into the
connector buckle.
2. Store the seat belt tongue into the tongue holder
first.
3. Store the connector tongue into the retractor base
.
WARNING
Do not unfasten the 3rd center seat
belt connector except when folding
down the 3rd seat.
SSS1078
Attaching 3rd row center seat belt:
Always be sure the 3rd center seat belt
connector tongue and connector buckle
are attached. Disconnect only when fold-
ing down the 3rd row seat.
To connect the buckle:
1. Pull out the connector tongue fromthe retractor base
.
2. Pull out the seat belt tongue from the tongue holder
.
3. Pull the seat belt and fasten the connector buckle until it clicks
.
The center seat belt connector tongue
and buckle are identified by the
andmark.
The center seat belt connector tongue
can be attached only into the 3rd center
seat belt connector buckle.
To fasten the seat belt, see “Fastening the
seat belts” (P.1-23).
WARNING
. When attaching the 3rd center
seat belt connector, be certain
that the seatbacks are comple-
tely secured in the latched posi-
tion and the 3rd center seat belt
connector is completely secured.

1.If you must install a booster seat in
the front seat, move the seat to the
rearmost position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a forward-facing
direction. Always follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions.
LRS0454
Front passenger position
3. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint or headrest to obtain
the correct booster seat fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to
reinstall the head restraint or head-
rest when the booster seat is re-
moved. See “Head restraints/
headrests” (P.1-15) for head restraint
or headrest adjustment, removal and
installation information.
If the seating position does not have
an adjustable head restraint or a
headrest and it is interfering with the proper booster seat fit, try another
seating position or a different booster
seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips.
Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions for ad-
justing the seat belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take
up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the top,
middle portion of the child’s shoulder.
Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions for ad-
justing the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and instructions for properly fastening a
seat belt shown in “Seat belts” (P.1-20).

nal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel
and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around
the air bag system.
. Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the
function of the air bag system
and result in serious personal
injury.
. Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result
in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front
seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing ad-
ditional trim material, such as
seat covers, on the seat that is
not specifically designed to as-
sure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passen-
ger seat or the seat cushion and
seatback. Such objects may inter-
fere with the proper operation of
the occupant classification sen-
sors. .
No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the seat belt system.
This may affect the front air bag
system. Tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the front air bag. It is also
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for installation of electrical
equipment. The Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) wiring
harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not
be used on the air bag system.
. A cracked windshield should be
replaced immediately by a quali-
fied repair facility. A cracked
windshield could affect the func-
tion of the supplemental air bag
system.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the front air
bag system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-
ual.
