FRONT POWER SEAT
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation.
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.Operating tipsThe seat motor has an auto-reset overload
protection circuit. If the motor stops during
operation, wait 30 seconds, then reactivate
the switch.
Do not operate the power support seat
for a long period of time when the engine is
off. This will discharge the battery.
See “Automatic drive positioner” in the “3. Pre-
driving checks and adjustments” for automatic
drive positioner operation.
Forward and backwardMoving the switch
1
forward or backward will
slide the seat forward or backward to the de-
sired position.
RecliningMove the recline switch
2
backward until the
desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward again, move the switch forward. The
seatback will move forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
later in this section.) The seatback may also be
reclined to allow occupants to rest when the
vehicle is parked.

4. Remove the head restraints. See “Head re-
straint adjustment” later in this section.
5. After closing the tonneau subcover (if so
equipped) from each rear seatback, pull the
strap on the rear seat
Aor pull the lever
B
beside the cargo area and fold the seatback.
6. When returning the seatbacks, be sure to
install the head restraints and attach the rear
center seat belt connector.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the fold-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury in an accident or sudden
stop.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously in-
jured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is notequipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seats.
Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide signifi-
cant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.
If the head restraints 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 sudden braking
or an accident.
Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.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.
When returning the seatbacks, be
sure to attach the rear center seat
belt connector.
Do not unfasten the rear center seat
belt connector except when folding
down the rear seat.
Do not remove the head restraints
except when folding down the rear
seat or using certain child restraints.
When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear cen-
ter seat belt connector is completely
secured.
If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured in
the correct position, serious personal
injury may result in an accident or
sudden stop.1-6

RecliningPull the reclining strap
1
and position the seat
back at the desired angle
2. Release the
reclining strap

seat belt usage” later in this section.) The seat-
back may also be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is parked.
WARNING
Do 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 re-
ceive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap
belt and receive serious internal inju-
ries.
For 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 belt properly. See “Precautions

WARNING
Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be properly
restrained in the rear seat and, if
appropriate, in a child restraint.
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 anaccident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn
properly.
Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run 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
injuries 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 belt.
Never carry more people in the ve-
hicle than there are seat belts.
If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ONwith all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may indi-
cate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the

retractor. See your NISSAN dealer.
Removal and installation of the pre-
tensioner seat belt system compo-
nents should be done by a NISSAN
dealer.
All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any colli-
sion by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN
recommends that all seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was mi-
nor and the belts show no damageand continue to operate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be in-
spected and replaced if either dam-
age or improper operation is noted.
All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected after
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 dam-
aged.

CHILD SAFETYChildren need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available from
many other sources, including doctors, teachers,
government traffic safety offices, and community
organizations. Every child is different, so be sure
to learn the best way to transport your child.
There are three basic types of child restraint
systems:
Rear facing child restraint
Front facing child restraint
Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.
Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less
than 20 lb(9 kg)) should be placed in rear facing
child restraints. Front facing child restraints are
available for children who outgrow rear facing
child restraints and are at least 1 year old.
Booster seats are used to help position a vehicle
lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longer
use a front facing child restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not
fit them properly. The shoulder belt may
come too close to the face or neck. The
lap belt may not fit over their small hip
bones. In an accident, an improperly
fitting seat belt could cause serious or
fatal injury. Always use appropriate
child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or terri-
tories require the use of approved child re-
straints for infants and small children. (See
“Child restraints” later in this section.)
Also, there are other types of child restraints
available for larger children for additional protec-
tion.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. This is
especially important because your vehicle
has a supplemental restraint system (air
bag system) for the front passenger. See“Supplemental restraint system” later in
this section.
InfantsInfants up to at least one year old should be
placed in a rear facing child restraint. NISSAN
recommends that infants be placed in child
restraints that comply with Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. You should choose a
child restraint which fits your vehicle and always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for instal-
lation and use.Small childrenChildren that are over one year old and weight
between 20 lbs (9 kg) and 40 lbs (18 kg) can be
placed in a forward facing child restraint. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for minimum
and maximum weight and height recommenda-
tions. NISSAN recommends that small children
be placed in child restraints that comply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Ca-
nadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.

Larger childrenChildren who are too large for child restraints
should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts which are provided. The seat belt may not
fit properly if the child is less than 4 feet 9 inches
(142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40 lbs (18
kg) and 80 lbs (36 kg). A booster seat should be
used to obtain proper seat belt fit.
NISSAN recommends that a child be placed in a
commercially available booster seat if the shoul-
der belt in the child’s seating position fits close
to the face or neck or if the lap portion of the seat
belt goes across the abdomen. The booster seat
should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is
properly positioned across the top, middle por-
tion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low on the
hips. A booster seat can only be used in seating
positions that have a three-point type seat belt.
The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and
have a label certifying that it complies with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Ca-
nadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Once
the child has grown so the shoulder belt is no
longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any
seat and do not allow a child in the
cargo areas while the vehicle is moving.
The child could be seriously injured or
killed in an accident or sudden stop.PREGNANT WOMENNISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug,
and always position the lap belt as low as
possible around the hips, not the waist. Place
the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across
your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder belt over
your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.INJURED PERSONSNISSAN recommends that injured persons use
seat belts, depending on the injury. Check with
your doctor for specific recommendations.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WITH RETRACTOR
WARNING
Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times.
Do 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 re-
ceive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap
belt and receive serious internal inju-
ries.
For 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 belt properly.
