HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle with
the head restraint removed. This can be dan-
gerous.
Head restraints should be adjusted properly
as they may provide significant protection
against injury in an accident. Check the height
after someone else uses the seat.
If the head restraints are removed for any rea-
son, they should be securely stored to pre-
vent them from causing injury to passengers
or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden
braking or an accident.
7–seater: The head restraints of the 3rd row
should always be put into the highest position
when the seat is occupied.
Adjustment
1. Pull up the head restraint to raise to the proper position.
2. Push in the lock knob as illustrated to lower the head restraint to the proper position.
Adjust the head restraint so that the centre is level
with your ears.

NOTE
If there is a change in (2nd row) rear seat belt
status during a journey then the applicable
symbol for any unbuckled seat will show again

The front passenger seat belt warning light
will not illuminate if the seat is unoccupied.
Seat belts for 3rd row seats (where fitted) are
not part of the seat belt warning monitoring
system.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
Your chances of being injured in an accident and/or
the severity of injury may be greatly reduced if you
are wearing your seat belt and it is properly ad-
justed. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of
your passengers to buckle up every time you drive,
even if your seating position is equipped with an air
bag.
WARNING
Be sure to observe the following warnings when
using seat belts. Failure to do so could increase
the chance and/or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided.
No modifications or additions should be made
by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to re-
move slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort to provide
the protection for which they have been de-
signed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact even
if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

Warning labels about the air bag system are placed
in the vehicle. Warning labels are for your safety and
the safety of your passengers; do not remove them.
Child restraint on front passenger seat
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
be seated in a child restraint system on the rear seat
if available. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat rather than in the front seat.
Front passenger air bag:
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger air
bag, you will find an air bag warning label attached
to the passenger side of the instrument panel as
shown in the previous illustration.
This label warns:
“Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag
in front of it!”
This label warns NOT to fit a rearward facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the front passenger air bag.
For instructions on deactivating the front passenger
air bag see “Front passenger air bag deactivation
system” later in this section.
When installing child restraints in your vehicle, al-
ways carefully observe the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.For more details on the installation of child restraints,
see also “Child restraints” later in this section.
Side air bags:
Your vehicle is equipped with side air bags. You will
find a side air bag warning label attached to the
vehicle’s interior as shown in the previous illustra-
tion.
This label warns you not to let infants or small chil-
dren sit on the front passenger seat as the air bag
may cause serious injury in case of deployment dur-
ing a collision.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag
warning light, displayingin the instrument
panel, monitors the circuits of the front air bag sys-
tem, the side and curtain air bag systems and the
pre-tensioner seat belt system. The circuits moni-
tored by the SRS air bag warning light are: all sen-
sors, air bag modules and all related wiring, and the
pre-tensioner seat belt. After turning the ignition switch to the ON or
START position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The air bag warning light will
turn off after approximately 7 seconds if the sys-
tem is operational.
Take your vehicle to the nearest NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop to have the air bag systems and
pre-tensioner seat belt serviced if the SRS air bag
warning light:
Remains on after approximately 7 seconds
Flashes intermittently
Does not come on at all
Under these conditions, the front air bags, side and
curtain air bags and/or pre-tensioner seat belt will
not operate properly. They must be checked and
repaired.
Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags,
and pre-tensioner seat belt system are designed to
activate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the air bag warning light will
remain illuminated after inflation has occurred. Re-
pair and replacement of the air bag system should
be done only by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
the air bag systems, related parts and pre-tensioner
seat belt should be pointed out to the person con-

If you must install a child restraint system in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Deactivate the front passenger air bag. See“Front passenger air bag deactivation system”
earlier in this section for further details.
2. Move the seat to the rearmost position.
3. Adjust the head restraint to its highest position. Remove it if it interferes with the child restraint
installation. In such situations, securely store the
head restraint in the luggage compartment so
that it does not become a dangerous projectile
during a sudden stop or in an accident.
4. Position the child restraint system in the front passenger seat.
Always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use. 5. Route the seat belt tongue through the child re-
straint system and insert it into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.
To prevent slack in the lap belt, secure the shoul-
der belt in place with a locking clip
jA. Use a
locking clip attached to the child restraint sys-
tem, or one which is equivalent in dimensions
and strength.
Be sure to follow the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing.
6. Slide the seat forwards so that the seat belt fully tightens the child restraint system and the child
restraint reaches the vehicle dashboard.
7. Test the child restraint system before you place the child in it. Check that it does not tilt too far
from side to side. Try to tug it forwards and check
if it is held securely in place.
