Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-3

Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the
buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt
movement by two separate methods:
• When the belt is pulled quickly from the retrac-
tor.
• When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows:
• Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward
quickly. The retractor should lock and restrict
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 certified LEAF dealer.
Shoulder belt height adjustment (for
front seats)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-
justed to the position that is best for you. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”.
To adjust, pull the adjustment button
1, and then
move the shoulder belt anchor to the preferred
position
2so 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 adjust-
ment button and then try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure that it is securely fixed in
position.
• The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position that
is 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 acci-
dent.

folding down the rear seats, hook the rear outer
seat belts on the seat belt hooks.
Center of rear seat
Selecting correct set of seat belts:

–
NISSAN recommends that all child
restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Studies show that children are
safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat. If
you must install a forward-facing
child restraint in the front seat, see
later in this section.
–
Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front
seat. An inflating air bag could seri-
ously injure or kill a child. A rear-
facing child restraint must only be
used in the rear seat.
–
Be sure to purchase a child restraint
that will fit the child and vehicle.
Some child restraints may not fit
properly in your vehicle.
–
Child restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand loads from child
restraints that are properly fitted.
–
Never use the anchor points for
adult seat belts or harnesses.
–
A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.–
Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-
sible after fitting the child restraint.
–
Infants and children should always
be placed in an appropriate child
restraint while in the vehicle.
•
When the child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the LATCH system
or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose objects can injure oc-
cupants or damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating sur-
face and buckles before placing a child in
the child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal child
restraint anchor system, referred to as the LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) sys-
tem. Some child restraints include rigid or
webbing-mounted attachments that can be con-
nected to these anchors.For details, see “Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren System (LATCH)”.
If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints 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 Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 213.
• Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat and
seat belt system.
• 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 designed for
your child’s height and weight. Always follow all
recommended procedures.
