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
injuries.For 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 on
seat belt usage” later in this section
for precautions on seat belt usage.
FRONT MANUAL SEAT
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
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.
After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
See “Automatic seat positioner” in the “3. Pre-
driving checks and adjustments” for automatic
seat positioner operation.

Folding1. Remove the head restraints.
2. Pull the strap forward and fold the seat
cushion up.
3. Pull the lever and pull the seatback forward to
fold it down.
4. When resetting the seat, be sure to install the
head restraints.
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 acollision, 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 not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
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.
Reclining (if so equipped)Pull the reclining lever and position the seat back
at the desired angle. Release the reclining lever
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.) Also, the
seatback may 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 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 “Seat belts” later
in this section for precautions on
seat belt usage.
After adjustment, check to be sure
the seat is securely locked.

vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be cer-
tain that seatbacks are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are
not completely secured, passengers
may be injured in an accident or sudden
stop.
Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the belt, press the button on the
buckle. The seat belt will automatically retract.Checking seat belt operationYour seat belt retractors are designed to lock
belt movement by two separate methods:
When the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
You can check the operation as follows:
Grasp the shoulder belt and pull quicklyforward. The retractor should lock and restrict
further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check or
if you have any question about belt operation,
see your NISSAN dealer.

Shoulder belt height adjustment (For
front seats)The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-
justed to the position best suited for you (see
“Precautions on Seat Belt Usage” earlier in this
section). To adjust, pull the release buttons, then
move the shoulder belt anchor to the desired
position so that the belt passes over the shoul-
der. Release the adjustment buttons to lock the
shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING
After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure it is securely fixed in po-
sition.
The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
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
accident.
Seat belt hookWhen the rear seat belt is not in use, hook it at

buckle.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERSIf, because of body size or driving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt
and fasten it, an extender is available. The ex-
tender adds approximately 8 inches (200 mm) of
length and may be used for either the driver or
right passenger seating position. See your
NISSAN dealer for assistance if the extender is
required.
WARNING
Only NISSAN belt extenders, made
by the same company which made
the original equipment belts, should
be used with NISSAN belts.
Persons who can use the standard
seat belt should not use an extender.
Such unnecessary use could result in
serious personal injury in the event
of an accident.
Never use seat belt extenders to in-
stall child restraints. If the child re-
straint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured in a
collision or a sudden stop.

the child restraint is compatible with your
child. Always follow all recommended proce-
dures.
All US states and Canadian provinces re-
quire that infants and small children be
restrained in approved child restraints at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
WARNING
Improper use of a child restraint can
result in increased injuries for both
the infant or child and other occu-
pants in the vehicle.
Follow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation
and use. When purchasing a child
restraint, be sure to select one which
will fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install
some types of child restraints in your
vehicle.
If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child beinginjured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
Adjustable seatbacks should be po-
sitioned to fit the child restraint, but
as upright as possible.
After attaching the child restraint,
test it before you place the child in it.
Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary, or put the restraint
in another seat and test it again.
For a front facing child restraint, if
the seat position where it is installed
has a three-point type lap/shoulder
belt, check to make sure the shoulder
belt does not go in front of the child’s
face or neck. If it does, put the shoul-
der belt behind the child restraint. If
you must install a front facing child
restraint in the front seat, see later in
“Child restraints” for installation on
front passenger seat.
When your child restraint is not inuse, store it in the trunk or keep it
secured with a seat belt to prevent it
from being thrown around in case of
a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the child
restraint.

properly secured prior to each use.
Rear facingWhen you install a child restraint in a rear center
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat as

depends on the type of the child restraint and
the size of the child. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.
