WARNING
cDo 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.cFor the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the
seat and adjust the seat properly. See
“Precautions on Seat Belt Usage” later
in this section.
FRONT MANUAL SEAT
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
cDo not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. The seat may move
suddenly and could cause loss of con-
trol of the vehicle.
cAfter adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.

PASSENGER SUPPLEMENTAL AIR
BAG ON/OFF SWITCH AND LIGHT
(except Crew Cab models)
WARNING
Air bags and seat belts are designed to
work as a unit. Do not switch the air bag
OFF unless you meet federal government
criteria. Switching off the air bag may in-
crease the risk of serious or fatal injuries
in a collision where the air bag would have
inflated.
In rare instances, some passengers are exposed
to serious injury risks from inflating air bags, es-
pecially if not properly restrained. The U.S. and
Canadian federal governments recognize other
limited circumstances in which an air bag could
reduce safety. The passenger air bag ON/OFF
switch is, therefore, allowed in models without full
rear seats. Because the overall benefits of air
bags are great, in most situations air bags should
not be switched off unless special government
criteria exist.
The passenger air bag ON/OFF switch is located
under the climate controls. It can be used to turn
the passenger supplemental air bag OFF.The ON/OFF switch should ONLY be used to
turn the passenger supplemental air bag OFF
when the following government criteria exists:
cInfants (less than 1 year old) in rear facing
child restraints MUST be placed in the front
passenger seat.
cChildren ages 1-12 years MUST be placed
in the front passenger seat.
cThe passenger has a medical condition
which, according to a physician, causes the
air bag to pose a special risk and makes the
potential harm from the air bag greater than
the potential harm from turning off the air
bag.
Seat belts and child restraints should always be
properly used. See “Precautions on seat belt
usage” and “Child restraints” later in this section
for details.
To turn the passenger supplemental air bag OFF,
insert the ignition key in the passenger supple-
mental air bag ON/OFF switch and turn the
switch clockwise to the OFF position. Then re-
move the key. When the ignition is turned to the
ON or START position the passenger air bag
OFF indicator light will illuminate to indicate the
air bag is OFF. To turn the passenger supplemen-
tal air bag ON, insert the ignition key in the
passenger supplemental air bag ON/OFF switchand turn the switch counter clockwise to the ON
position. Then remove the key. When the ignition
is turned to the ON or START position the pas-
senger air bag OFF indicator light will illuminate
for 7 seconds to indicate the system is working
properly and then go out to indicate that the
passenger supplemental air bag is ON.
1. Do not operate the passenger supplemental
air bag ON/OFF switch when the ignition is
ON.
2. Fully turn the passenger supplemental air
bag ON/OFF switch to either the ON or OFF
position.
3. Always remove the ignition key after using
the passenger supplemental air bag
ON/OFF switch.
4. The passenger air bag OFF indicator light
should illuminate for 7 seconds after the
ignition is turned to the ON or START posi-
tion. If not, the vehicle should be taken to a
NISSAN dealer.
Items 2 and 3 above are intended to prevent
improper use of the ignition key.
When the switch is turned to the ON position, the
passenger supplemental air bag is enabled and
could inflate in a frontal collision. When the
switch is turned to the OFF position, the passen-
ger supplemental air bag is disabled and will not

If any of the following system conditions occur,
the supplemental air bag and pre-tensioner seat
belt systems need servicing:
cThe supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
cThe supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
cThe supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (supplemental front air bag or
pre-tensioner seat belt systems) may not operate
properly. It must be checked and repaired. Take
your vehicle to the nearest NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light
is on, it could mean that the supplemental
front air bag or pre-tensioner seat belt
systems will not operate in an accident.
Repair and replacement procedure
The supplemental front air bag and pre-tensioner
seat belts are designed to inflate on a one-time-
only basis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged,
the supplemental air bag warning light remains
illuminated after inflation has occurred. Repairand replacement of these supplemental air bag
systems should be done only by a NISSAN
dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the ve-
hicle, the supplemental front air bags, pre-
tensioner seat belts and related parts should be
pointed out to the person performing the mainte-
nance. The ignition key should always be in the
LOCK position when working under the hood or
inside the vehicle.
WARNING
cOnce a supplemental front air bag has
inflated, the air bag module will not
function and must be replaced. Addi-
tionally, if any of the supplemental front
air bags inflate, the activated pre-
tensioner seat belts must also be re-
placed. The air bag module and pre-
tensioner seat belt system should be
replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The air
bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt
system cannot be repaired.
cThe supplemental front air bag system
and pre-tensioner seat belt system
should be inspected by a NISSAN
dealer if there is any damage to the
front end portion of the vehicle.cIf you need to dispose of the supple-
mental air bag, pre-tensioner seat belt
system or scrap the vehicle, contact a
NISSAN dealer. Correct supplemental
air bag and pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem disposal procedures are set forth in
the appropriate NISSAN Service
Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.

s2Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.
The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling
motion permits the seat belt to move, and
allows you some freedom of movement in
the seat.s3Position the lap belt portionlow and snug
on the hipsas shown.
s4Pull 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 belt and the rear three-
point seat belts (Crew Cab only) have a cinching
mechanism for child restraint installation. It is
referred to as the automatic locking mode.
When automatic locking mode is activated the
seat belt cannot be withdrawn again until the seat
belt tongue is detached from the buckle and fully
retracted. Once retracted, the seat belt is in theemergency locking mode. See “Child restraints”
later in this section for more information.
The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child restraint installation.
During normal seat belt use by a passen-
ger, the locking mode should not be acti-
vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension.
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.
