Shoulder belt height adjustment
(for front seats and 2nd row seats)
The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position best for you.
(See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-
20).)
To adjust, push the button
, and then
move the shoulder belt anchor to the
desired position, so that the belt passes
over the center of the shoulder. The belt
should be away from your face and neck,
but not falling off of your shoulder.
Release the adjustment button to lock
the shoulder belt anchor into position.

WARNING
.After adjustment, release the ad-
justment button and try to move
the shoulder belt anchor up and
down to make sure it is securely
fixed in position.
. The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the posi-
tion best for you. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of
the entire restraint system and
increase the chance or severity of
injury in an accident.
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 for
either 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 webbing, 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 completely 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.

For details, see “Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system ”
(P.1-35).
If you do not have a LATCH compatible
child restraint, the vehicle seat belts can
be used.
Several manufacturers offer child re-
straints for infants and small 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.
. If the combined weight of the child
and child restraint is less than 65 lbs
(29.5 kg), you may use either the LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt
to install the child restraint (not both
at the same time).
. If the combined weight of the child
and child restraint is greater than 65
lbs (29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt
(not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint.
. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for instal-
lation.
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
forward-facing child restraints be se-
cured to the designated anchor point
on the vehicle.

FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
. The three-point seat belt with
Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) must be used when instal-
ling a child restraint. Failure to
use the ALR mode will result in
the child restraint not being prop-
erly secured. The restraint could
tip over or be loose and cause
injury to a child in a sudden stop
or collision. Also, it can change
the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light”

(P.1-63)
. When installing a child restraint
system in the 3rd center position,
both the center seat belt connec-
tor tongue and buckle tongue
must be secured. See “3rd row
center seat belt” (P.1-26).

Forward-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the
combined weight of the child and the
child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If
the combined weight of the child and the
child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5
kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the
lower anchors) to install the child re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle
seat belt in the rear seats or in the front passenger seat:
1.
If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in
a forward-facing direction only.
Move the seat to the rearmost posi-
tion. Child restraints for infants must
be used in the rear-facing direction
and, therefore, must not be used in
the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint or headrest to obtain
the correct child restraint 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 child restraint is re-
moved. See “Head restraints/
headrests” (P.1-14) 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 child restraint fit, try another
seating position or a different child

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.
LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following
points in mind:
.Choose only a booster seat with a
label certifying that it complies with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213.
. Check the booster seat in your vehicle
to be sure it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.
LRS0453
.Make sure the child’s head will be
properly supported by the booster
seat or vehicle seat. The seatback
must be at or above the center of
the child’s ears. For example, if a low
back booster seat
is chosen, the
vehicle seatback must be at or above
the center of the child’s ears. If the
seatback is lower than the center of
the child’s ears, a high back booster
seat
should be used.
. If the booster seat is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various
adjustments to be sure the booster
seat is compatible with your child.
Always follow all recommended pro-

WARNING
. Always have the doors locked
while driving. Along with the use
of seat belts, this provides great-
er safety in the event of an
accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from
the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unin-
tentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming
traffic.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
