CAUTION
When operating the rear power seat-
back return, make sure that the vehicle
is stopped and the transmission is in
the P (Park) position.
WARNING
.Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. In a collision, people riding
in these areas 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 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.
. When folding or returning the seat-
backs to the upright position, to
avoid injury to yourself and others:
— 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.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
. 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.
. When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear center seat belt connector is com-
pletely secured.
. If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured
in the correct position, serious per-
sonal injury may result in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.

RecliningGUID-1BFE5C97-1FC3-4054-A6B3-17A9466D0C05Pull the reclining strap*Aand position the
seatback at the desired angle. Release the
reclining strap after positioning the seat at the
desired angle.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes 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 occu-
pants 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 receive 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 in the seat with both feet
on the floor and adjust the seat belt
properly. See “Precautions on seat
belt usage” later in this section.
. After adjustment, check to be sure
the seat is securely locked.
HEAD RESTRAINTSGUID-5E605952-D804-4293-B401-616CD7C38955
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other
vehicle safety systems. They may pro-
vide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the
head restraints properly, as specified in
this section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint
stalks or remove the head restraint. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint
has been removed. If the head restraint
was removed, install and properly ad-
just the head restraint before an occu-
pant uses the seating position. Failure
to follow these instructions can reduce
the effectiveness of the head restraints.
This may increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a collision.

SSS0508
Front-seat Active Head RestraintGUID-3164FE3F-22C1-4D05-B110-75CFEC562928The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback receives
from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The
movement of the head restraint helps support
the occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said
that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original position. Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as
described earlier in this section.

USAGE
GUID-0C8D3A44-10AF-48A1-A8CC-9A495B9121D7If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well
back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your
chances of being injured or killed in an accident
and/or the severity of injury may be greatly
reduced. NISSAN strongly encourages you and
all of your passengers to buckle up every time
you drive, even if your seating position includes a
supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories specify that seat belts be
worn at all times when a vehicle is being
driven.
