Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
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.
The seatback should not be reclined any more
than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most
effective when the passenger sits well back
and upright in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt
and being injured is increased.
When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain that they are completely
secured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop. When
operating the seatback release always rock
the seatback afterward to check that it is
locked.
When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo,
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 per-
sonal injury.
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area
or on the rear seat when it is in the folded-
down position. Use of these areas by passen-
gers without proper restraints could result in
serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
Closely supervise children when they are
around the vehicle to prevent them from play-
ing and being locked in the luggage compart-
ment where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the vehicle locked with the rear seat-
back securely latched when not in use, and
prevent children from having access to the
vehicle’s keys.FRONT SEATS

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around
a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.
Every occupant in this vehicle should wear a
seat belt at all times.
Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
All seat belt assemblies, including retractors
and attaching hardware, should be inspected
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop af-
ter any collision. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion should be replaced unless the collision
was minor and the belts show no damage and
continue to operate properly. Seat belt assem-
blies not in use during a collision should also
be inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has been ac-
tivated, it cannot be re-used. It must be re-
placed together with the retractor. See a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system components should be done
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
ONLY.
If the seat belt warning light glows continu-
ously while the ignition switch is in the ON
position, all doors are closed and occupied
seat belts are fastened, it may indicate a mal-function in the system. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the belt under your arm. Serious injury can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
Position the lap belt as low as possible
AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST.
CHILD SAFETY
Infants or small children
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
should be seated in a child restraint on the rear
seats if available. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. See “Child restraints”
later in this section. You should choose a child re-
straint system which fits your vehicle and always fol-
low the manufacturer’s instructions for installation
and use.
Children
Children who are too large for child restraints should
be seated and restrained by the seat belts that are
provided.
The use of a booster seat (commercially available)
may help to avoid the shoulder belt coming across
the face or neck area of a child’s seating position.
The booster seat should raise the child so that the
shoulder belt is properly positioned across the top,
middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low
on the hips. The booster seat should fit the vehicle’s
seat. Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt
is no longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and
do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the
vehicle is moving.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific recom-
mendations. The seat belt should be worn snug,
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run the lap/
shoulder belt over your abdominal area.

NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat
belts, depending on the injury. Check with your doc-
tor for specific recommendations.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS
Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle
should wear a seat belt at all times.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat.
WARNING
The seatback should not be reclined any more
than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most
effective when the passenger sits well back
and upright in the seat. If the seat is reclined,
the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being
injured is increased.
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until it clicks. CAUTION
The seat belt retractor is designed to lock dur-
ing a sudden impact. A slow pulling motion
will permit the belt to move and allow you
some freedom of movement in the seat.

Shoulder belt height adjustment (front
seats only)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted
to the position best for you (see “Precautions on
seat belt usage” earlier in this section).
To adjust, depress the adjustment button as illus-
trated and move the shoulder belt anchor to the
appropriate position, so that the belt passes over the centre of the shoulder. Release the adjustment
button to lock the shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING
After adjustment, release the adjustment but-
ton and check by moving the shoulder belt
assembly up and down to make sure the
shoulder belt anchor is securely fixed in posi-
tion.
The seat belt should be away from your face
and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
Checking the seat belt operation
Your seat belt retractors are designed to lock the
belt movement in two separate situations:
When the belt is pulled quickly from the retrac-
tor.
When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the belts, check the
operation as follows:
Take place in the seat for which you wish to check
the belt operation. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull
quickly forward. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during these checks or
if you have any questions about the seat belt opera-
tion, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild
soap solution or any solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then brush it,
wipe with a cloth and allow it to dry in the shade.
Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they
are completely dry.
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract
slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean,
dry cloth.
Periodically check to see whether the seat
belt and the metal components such as buck-
les, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and an-
chors work properly. If loose parts, deteriora-
tion, cuts or other damage to the webbing is
found, the entire belt assembly should be re-
placed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING
The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused
after activation. It must be replaced together
with the retractor as a unit.
If the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure
to have the pre-tensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental
activation of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt opera-
tion. Tampering with the pre-tensioner seat
belt system may result in serious personal in-
jury.
Work on and around the pre-tensioner system
should be done by an authorised NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop. Installation of
electrical equipment should also be done by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. Unau-
thorised electrical test equipment and prob-
ing devices should not be used on the pre-
tensioner seat belt system.
If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner or
scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. Correct pre-tensioner
disposal procedures are set forth in the ap-propriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause personal in-
jury.
The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system is acti-
vated in conjunction with the front air bag system. It
helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle is in-
volved in certain types of collisions by restraining
the seat occupants via the seat belt retractor.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used in the same way
as conventional seat belts.
Additionally, the driver’s side pre-tensioner seat belt
system is also equipped with a lap pre-tensioner.
Both the retractor pre-tensioner and lap pre-ten-
sioner provide significant protection against injury in
an accident and increase the safety performance of
your vehicle.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt system activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is harmless, but care should be taken
not to inhale it as it may cause irritation and choking.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START
position, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
air bag warning light will illuminate. The SRS air bag
warning light will turn off after approximately 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational. If any of the follow-
ing conditions occur, the air bag and/or pre-ten-
sioner seat belt need servicing and your vehicle must
be taken to the nearest NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
The air bag warning light remains on after ap-
proximately 7 seconds.
The air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
The air bag warning light does not come on at
all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and/or pre-tensioner seat belt
may not function properly. It must be checked and
repaired.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you in-
form the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.

The front passenger air bag indicator light
comes on and remains illuminated after ap-
proximately 7 seconds while the front pas-
senger air bag switch is ON.
The front passenger air bag indicator light
does not come on at all while the front pas-
senger air bag switch is ON.
Unless checked and repaired, the front passenger
air bag system may not function properly.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINT USAGE
Infants and small children should alwaysbe placed
in an infant or child restraint while riding in the ve-
hicle.
WARNING
Infants and small children should never be
carried on your lap. It is not possible for even
the strongest adult to resist the forces of an
accident. The child could be crushed between
the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not
put the same seat belt around a child and
yourself. In general, child restraints are de-
signed to be installed with the lap portion of a
three-point type seat belt.
NISSAN recommends installing the child re-
straint on the rear seat. According to accident
statistics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
