WARNING
cIt is very important that you follow
the instructions in this section be-
fore anyone rides in this seating po-
sition of the two-passenger bench
seat.
cFailure to do so may result in im-
proper positioning of seat belt which
could lead to increased likelihood or
severity of injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
The two-passenger bench seat in the sec-
ond row has a seat belt system made up of
two buckles and two tongues. There are two
body attaching points (one upper and one
lower) that attach each end of the seat belt
webbing.One of the seat belt tongues has two ``win-
dows'' (or holes) and the other has only one
``window''. The seat belt tongue with one
window attaches to the auxiliary buckle
mounted to the side of the seat. The seat
belt tongue with two windows should be

ZX

positioned properly and fastened to the
buckle mounted in the middle of the seat.
When the two buckle seat belt system is not
in use, the webbing can be secured with the
seat belt clip. The seat belt clip should not
be used with a child seat or during seat belt
usage. The seat belt clip opening should
face the front of the vehicle.
A twisted belt may prevent the retractor
from working properly. If the two buckle seat
belt system is twisted, disengage the single
window tongue from the auxiliary buckle on
the side of the seat, remove the twist and
reinstall the tongue into the auxiliary buckle
until you hear a snap and feel the latch
engage.
Both tongues must be attached to their
appropriate buckles whenever someone
is riding in that seating position. If the
tongue is released to allow a third row
passenger to enter or exit, the tongue
must be reattached.When the two-passenger bench seat is re-
moved from the vehicle, you must detach
the single window tongue from the auxiliary
buckle.
If the three-passenger bench seat is
moved up to the second row position,
the outside passenger (near the sliding
door) only needs to use the double win-
dow tongue and the standard buckle.
Because the third row seat is so much
wider and is closer to the sliding door,
the single window tongue and the auxil-
iary buckle are not necessary.

CAUTION
Third row passengers must be very
careful when exiting because of the
auxiliary seat belt. It is important to
step over the seat belt guide and belt
webbing to avoid tripping.
Unfastening the belts
To unfasten the belt, press the button on the
buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
(Three-point type seat belt with
retractor)
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement:
1) when the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor, and
2) when the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat
belts, check their operation as follows:
cGrasp the shoulder belt and pull quickly
forward. The retractor should lock and
restrict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any questions about
belt operation, see an authorized NISSAN
dealer.

WARNING
When installing a child restraint in the
two-passenger bench seat, if it is
placed in the seating position next to
the sliding door, be sure both the aux-
iliary buckle and main buckle are prop-
erly fastened. Failure to do so could
increase the chance and/or severity of
injury in an accident.
WARNING

is equipped with a locking mode re-
tractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The seat
could tip over or otherwise be unse-
cured and cause injury to the child in
a sudden stop or collision.

tor, the belt is in the automatic locking
mode.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
belt is not locked, repeat steps 3 through
6.After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is allowed to wind back into the
retractor (for the passenger side of the
two-passenger bench seat, the auxilliary
buckle must also be released), the auto-
matic locking mode (child restraint mode) is
canceled. The seat belt may be used as
normal and will only lock during a sudden
stop or impact.
