WARNING
• Always route the shoulder belt over
your 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 in-
juries 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 ve-
hicle than there are seat belts.
• If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously or chime continues
while the ignition is turned ON with
all doors closed and all seat belts fas-
tened, it may indicate a malfunction
in the system. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• 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 colli-
sion be replaced unless the collision
was minor 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 improper 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.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT AND
CHIME
The light and chime remind you to fasten
the driver, front passenger and rear pas-
senger seat belts. A visual and audible alert
will operate in the following conditions:
• If the driver seat belt is not fastened.
• The front passenger’s seat belt is not fas-tened and the seat is occupied by a pas-
senger for 7 seconds af ter the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. • The front passenger’s seat belt is not fas-
tened and objects or external force on
the passenger seat change the seat belt
reminder classification to “occupied”.
• Any rear passenger seat belt is operated from fastened to unfastened.
For additional information, see:
• “Seat belt warning light and chime” (P. 2-16).
• “Rear seat belt warning” (P. 2-42 or 2-69).
The below situations could result in the
seat belt warning function operating, even
with no occupant present in the front pas-
senger seat:
• Heavy objects placed on the seat.
• Someone pushing or pulling on the front passenger seat.
• An object placed under the front passen- ger seat.
• An object placed between the seat cush- ion and center console or between the
seat cushion and the door.
• An object hanging on the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.
• A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback. The rear seat belt reminder may operate if
the rear seat belts are used without
occupants.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN 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 PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons
use seat belts. Check with your doctor for
specific recommendations.

3. Position the lap belt portionlow and
snug on the hips
OBas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
OC.Be
sure the shoulder belt is routed over
your shoulder and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear
seating positions’ three-point seat belts
have two modes of operation:
• Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
• Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The ELR mode allows the seat belt to ex-
tend and retract to allow the driver and
passengers some freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat belt
when the vehicle slows down rapidly or
during certain impacts.
The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks
the seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated, the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the
buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt re-
turns to the ELR mode af ter the seat belt
fully retracts.
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During nor-
mal seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR
mode should not be activated. If it is ac-
tivated, it may cause uncomfortable seat
belt tension. It can also change the op-
eration of the front passenger air bag.
For additional information, see “Front
passenger air bag and status light”
(P. 1-70).
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be cer-
tain that the seatbacks are completely
secured in the latched position. If they
are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or
sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, press the button
on the buckle
O1. The seat belt automati-
cally retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement by two separate
methods:
• When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the retractor
• When the vehicle slows down rapidly
