WARNING
∙ Do not ride in a moving vehicle whenthe 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 re-
ceive neck or other serious injuries.
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
properly. For additional information,
refer to “Precautions on seat belt us-
age” in this section.
∙ Af ter adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
∙ Do not leave children unattended in- side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls or
make the vehicle move. Unattended
children could become involved in se-
rious accidents. ∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not
leave children, people who require the
assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.
∙ Do 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 control of the vehicle.
∙ The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when the
passenger sits well back and straight
up in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

SEATS
1-2Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

JUMP SEAT (if so equipped)
WARNING
∙ Do not use a child restraint in the driv-er’s side jump seat. This seating posi-
tion is not suitable for child restraint
installation. A child restraint can be in-
stalled in the passenger’s side jump
seat when the seat extension is un-
folded from the seat base.
∙ When folding the jump seat, be careful not to squeeze your finger between
the seat cushion and the body side.
ARMREST (if so equipped)
To use the center armrest on the rear
bench seat, pull on the tab in the center of
the seat and fold it down as shown.
FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in thecargo area or on the rear seats when
they are in the fold-down position. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
without proper restraints are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed. ∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts. Be sure ev-
eryone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
∙ Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
∙ Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seats.
– Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat.
– Be careful not to allow hands or feet to get caught or pinched in the
seat.
∙ Head restraints/headrests should be adjusted properly as they may pro-
vide significant protection against in-
jury in an accident. Always replace
and adjust them properly if they have
been removed for any reason.
∙ If the head restraints/headrests are removed for any reason, they should
be securely stored to prevent them
from causing injury to passengers or
damage to the vehicle in case of sud-
den braking or an accident.

3. Repeat this process to raise and securethe seat cushion on the other side of
the vehicle for maximum storage ca-
pacity.
To return the rear bench seat to a seating
position, reverse the process. Make sure to
properly push the seat cushion down
into place.
WARNING
∙ When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo, properly secure all cargo
to help prevent it from sliding or shif t-
ing. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts. Be sure ev-
eryone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly. Never ride
in the rear seat unless the seat bot-
tom cushions are in place and latched.
∙ When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched po-
sition. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.

Folding the rear bench seat down
(if so equipped)
The rear bench seatback can be tilted for-
ward to access the child restraint anchor
point locations or the jacking equipment.
To tilt the seatback forward, pull the strap

WARNING
∙ Every person who drives or rides inthis vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be in the
rear seats and in an appropriate
restraint.
WARNING
∙ The seat belt should be properly ad-justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury in an
accident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn
properly.

1-16Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
∙ Always route the shoulder belt overyour shoulder and across your chest.
Never put the belt behind your back,
under your arm or across your neck.
The belt should be away from your
face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder.
∙ Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT
THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high
could increase the risk of internal inju-
ries in an accident. ∙ Be sure the seat belt tongue is se-
curely fastened to the proper buckle.
∙ Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
∙ Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
∙ Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.
∙ If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the ignition is
turned ON with all doors closed and all
seat belts fastened, it may indicate a
malfunction in the system. Have the
system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
∙ No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do not
modif y the seat belt, add material, or
install devices that may change the
seat belt routing or tension. Doing so
may affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modif ying or tampering
with the seat belt system may result
in serious personal injury. ∙ Once seat belt pretensioner(s) have
activated, they cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the
retractor. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
∙ All seat belt assemblies, including re- tractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected af ter any colli-
sion. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was mi-
nor and the belts show no damage
and continue to operate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use during
a collision should also be inspected
and replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
∙ All child restraints and attaching hardware should be inspected af ter
any collision. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturer’s inspection in-
structions and replacement recom-
mendations. The child restraints
should be replaced if they are
damaged.
