WARNING
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any areaof 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.
∙ Head restraints/headrests should be adjusted properly as they may pro-
vide significant protection against in-
jury in an accident. Always replace
them properly if they have been re-
moved 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.
∙ 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. ∙ Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shif ting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
∙ Do not drive the vehicle unless all of the seats are installed and locked in
position. Loose seats can become
projectiles in a sudden stop or colli-
sion and cause serious personal in-
jury or death.

Folding the front passenger’s
seatback
To fold the front passenger’s seatback flat
for extra storage length when transporting
long items:1. Slide the seat to the rearmost position. Lif t up on the recline lever, located on
the outside edge of the seat, and allow
the seatback to fold forward as far as it
will go. 2. Once the seatback is released, it will
enable you to fold the front passenger
seatback flat over the seat cushion.
3. To return the front passenger’s seat to a seating position, lif t up on the seat-
back and push it up to an upright posi-
tion. Then pull up on the recline lever
and lean the seatback to a proper seat-
ing position. Release the lever to lock
the seatback in position.
WARNING
∙ If you fold the front passenger’s seat-back flat forward to carry longer ob-
jects, be sure this cargo is properly se-
cured and not near an air bag. In a
crash, an inflating air bag might force
that object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even
death. Secure objects away from the
area in which an air bag would inflate.
For additional information, refer to
“Precautions on SRS” in this section.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the front passenger’s
seat when it is in the fold-down posi-
tion. Use of these areas by passengers
could result in serious injury or death
in an accident or sudden stop.
CAUTION
Do not apply a load to the back of the
table if it is not fully horizontal. Doing so
may cause deformation/malfunction.
NOTE:
The belt buckle must be in the forward-
most position for the seat to be folded to
avoid premature aging.

SEAT RAIL COVERS
Your vehicle has eight factory installed
small rail covers. It also comes with a Large
Seat Rail Cover kit. The kit contains four
large rail covers that can be used to cover
the seat tracks when the single seats in the
2nd and/or 3rd rows have been removed. If
additional seats are removed and you wish
to cover the seat tracks, contact the Parts
Department at a NISSAN dealer for the lat-
est parts information.Both the small and large seat rail covers
can be removed and installed the same
way.
WARNING
Properly stow the rail covers when not
in use. 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.
Installation of rail covers
When installing the rail covers into the rail
opening, make sure that the Owner’s
Manual symbol is placed in the correct di-
rection.

SEAT CONFIGURATIONS
The seating system allows great flexibility
by allowing the 2nd, 3rd and 4th row seats
to be rearranged in multiple configura-
tions. Proper usage is important to your
safety. There is a total of six independent
seats in the rear rows and all of them can
be removed and rearranged. The illustra-
tion above shows which seats are com-
mon and interchangeable.

The 2nd and 3rd row seats have two
fore/af t mounting locations. The rows are
identical and can be interchanged for con-
venience. The passenger side seats can be
moved to the rear position independently
of the driver’s side seats.
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head
restraints/headrests must be adjusted
properly, as specified in this section.
Check the adjustment af ter someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach any-
thing to the head restraint/headrest
stalks or remove the head
restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint/headrest has been
removed. If the head restraint/headrest
was removed, reinstall and properly ad-
just the head restraint/headrest before
an occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions can
reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may in-
crease the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision.

equipped with head restraints/headrests.

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.

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.
∙ 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.
