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 receive neck or other serious
injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet
on the floor and adjust the seat
properly. See “Precautions on seat
belt usage” later in this section.
. After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents. .
The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger sits well back and
straight up in the seat. If the seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and being injured
is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or da-
mages.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
later in this section.) Also, the seatback can be
reclined to allow occupants to rest when the
vehicle is stopped and the transmission in the P

Operating tips:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407.
The seat motor has an auto-reset overload
protection circuit. If the motor stops during
operation, wait for a while, then reactivate
the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat for a long
period of time when the engine is off. This
will discharge the battery.

Folding front passenger’s seat (if so
equipped)
S35-D-110201-C19042A4-37EC-4F5E-A2F3-CC2DCE9D4829The front passenger’s seatback can be folded
down. Some long objects may be loaded in the
vehicle when the rear seats are also folded
down. (See “Rear seats” later in this section for
folding rear seats.)
To fold the front passenger’s seatback, pull the
reclining lever all the way
*1.
When returning the front passenger’s seatback
to a seating position, lift it up to an upright
position. Pull the reclining lever and lean the
seatback to a proper seating position. (See
“Front manual seat adjustment” earlier in this section.)
WARNING
.
If you fold the front passenger’s
seatback down to carry longer ob-
jects, be sure this cargo is properly
secured and not near an air bag. In a
crash, an inflating air bag might
force that object toward a person.
This could cause severe injury or
even death. Secure objects away
from the area in which an air bag
would inflate. See “Precautions on
Supplemental Restraint System” la-
ter in this section.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the front passen-
ger’s seat when it is in the fold-
down position. Use of these areas
by passengers could result in ser-
ious injury in an accident or sudden
stop.

FoldingS35-D-110201-F3098F1C-3843-46A3-9934-E20A6D0E0E98
Before folding the rear seats:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407.Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks
on the side wall. (See “Seat belt hooks” later
in this section.)
. Release the connector tongue of the rear
center seat belt from the buckle, and store
the connector and seat belt tongues into the
retractor base on the ceiling. (See “Rear
center seat belt” later in this section.)
. If necessary, move the front seats forward to
provide enough clearance so that the rear
seats can be folded down completely. To fold down the seatback of each rear seat, pull
the adjusting knob
*A.
To return the seatback to the seating position, lift
up each seatback and push it to the upright
position until it is latched.
WARNING
. Do not use the rear seat belts when
the buckles are stowed in the seat
pockets. Failure to do so may re-
duce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
. Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any objects are on the rear
seats.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by
passengers without proper re-
straints could result in serious injury
in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
HEAD RESTRAINTSS35-D-110201-8707514E-311A-4F34-AD80-2FBAE21FA9C7
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other
vehicle safety systems. They may pro-
vide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the
head restraints properly, as specified in
this section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint
stalks or remove the head restraint. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint
has been removed. If the head restraint
was removed, install and properly ad-
just the head restraint before an occu-

pant uses the seating position. Failure
to follow these instructions can reduce
the effectiveness of the head restraints.
This may increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a collision.

RemovalGUID-C561A9AF-CBB2-4542-89D6-BD973A7B3031Use the following procedure to remove the
adjustable head restraints.
1. Pull the head restraint up to the highestposition.
2. Push and hold the lock knob.
3. Remove the head restraint from the seat.
4. Store the head restraint properly in a secure place so it is not loose in the vehicle.
5. Install and properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion.
SSS0996
InstallGUID-6FFAC965-3169-4B2F-AEA8-863C33C198E21. Align the head restraint stalks with the holesin the seat. Make sure that the head restraint
is facing the correct direction. The stalk with
the adjustment notches
*1must be in-
stalled in the hole with the lock knob
*2.
2. Push and hold the lock knob and push the head restraint down.
3. Properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the seating position.
SSS0508
Front-seat Active Head RestraintsGUID-807E7618-FD6F-421A-A613-6003E38F8273The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback receives
from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The
movement of the head restraint helps support
the occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said
that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original position.

Unfastening the seat beltsS35-D-110201-11A952B5-692A-47B8-966D-B4A69BA2A046To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the
buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operationS35-D-110201-FDCB1C8F-6FB1-42E1-A49D-FC53E5629F4CSeat belt retractors are designed to lock seat
belt movement by two separate methods:
.When the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
Check the operation as follows:
. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward
quickly. 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 seat belt
operation, see a NISSAN dealer.
SSS0351A
Shoulder belt height adjustmentGUID-D8387696-338B-4786-A52E-9891FB597B2CThe 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, pull the adjustment button
*1, and
then move the shoulder belt anchor to the
desired position
*2, so that the belt passes
over the center of the shoulder. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not falling
off of your shoulder. Release the adjustment
button to lock the shoulder belt anchor into
position.
