tracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt
movement by two separate methods:
cWhen the seat belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
cWhen the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows.cGrasp 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.
Shoulder belt height adjustment (For
front seats)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-
justed to the position best for you. (See “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” earlier in this section.)
To adjust, pull out the adjustment button
s1and
move the shoulder belt anchor to the desired
position
s2, so the belt passes over the center of
the shoulder. The belt should be away from your
face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
Release the adjustment button to lock the shoul-
der belt anchor into position.

mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the child
in a sudden stop or collision.

3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is
fully extended. At this time, the belt retractor
is in the automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode) . It reverts back to emergency
locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the
shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.
If necessary to ensure the child restraint is
secure, pull the shoulder belt through the
seat belt tongue beyond the stitching in the
belt.
After the seat belt is fully retracted and the child
restraint is removed from the seat, the stitching
on the shoulder belt can be pulled back through
the seat belt tongue. The stitching locates the
seat belt tongue near the top of the seat back for
easy access for rear seat passengers.5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to tilt the child restraint from side
to side, and tug it forward to make sure it is
securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch (25mm) .
6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt out
of the retractor. If you cannot pull any more
belt webbing out of the retractor, the retrac-
tor is in the automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the belt
is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 6.

cNISSAN recommends that the child re-
straint be installed in the rear seat
(Crew Cab models) . However, if you
must install a forward-facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat,
move the passenger seat to the rear-
most position.
cNever install a rear facing child restraint
in the front seating position of Crew
Cab models. Install a rear-facing child
restraint in the rear seat only. The force
of the inflating air bag could cause se-
rious injury or kill the child in the child
restraint.
cThe three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor’s locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the child
in a sudden stop or collision.cIf the supplemental air bag warning
light located in the instrument panel
next to the speedometer comes on
when the passenger supplemental air
bag OFF indicator light is also illumi-
nated, something may be wrong with
the supplemental air bag system. Do
not use a child restraint in the front
passenger seat until the system is
checked by your NISSAN dealer.
If you choose to install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front pas-
senger seat.Move the seat to the rear-
most position.Adjust the head restraint to
its highest position. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions.

Rear-facing (Three-point type with
retractor, except Crew Cab models)
WARNING
cNever install a rear facing child restraint
in the front seating position of Crew
Cab models. Install a rear-facing child
restraint in the rear seat only. The force
of the inflating air bag could cause se-
rious injury or kill the child in the child
restraint.
cIf so equipped, keep the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch
turned ON unless a rear-facing child
restraint is used in the front seat. If the
switch is OFF, the air bag will not inflate
in a collision as designed.cBe sure to turn the passenger supple-
mental air bag ON/OFF switch OFF
when using a rear facing child restraint
in the front passenger seat. If it is not
OFF, the air bag may inflate in a colli-
sion. The force of the rapidly inflating
air bag could cause serious injury or kill
the child in the child restraint. See
“Passenger supplemental air bag
ON/OFF switch and light” earlier in this
section.
cIf the supplemental air bag warning
light located in the instrument panel
next to the speedometer comes on
when the passenger supplemental air
bag OFF indicator light is also illumi-
nated, something may be wrong with
the supplemental air bag system. Do
not use a child restraint in the front
passenger seat until the system is
checked by your NISSAN dealer.
cThe passenger three-point seat belt is
equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
