NISSAN ROGUE 2015 2.G Owner's Manual

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. For additional
information, refer to “Precautions on
seat belt usage” in this section.
● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked. ●
Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
● Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. The seat may move
suddenly and could cause loss of con-
trol of the vehicle.
● The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback 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 damage.

1-8Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

●Head restraints/headrests should be
adjusted properly as they may provide
significant protection against injury in
an accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.
● If the head restraints/headrests are re-
moved for any reason, they should be
securely stored to prevent them from
causing injury to passengers or damage
to the vehicle in case of sudden braking
or an accident.
● When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seatbacks.
In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
Folding the 2nd row bench seat
To fold the 2nd row bench seat flat for maximum
cargo hauling:
1. Make sure that the head restraints/headrests are lowered. For maxi-
mum cargo hauling, remove the center head

WARNING
When the seat is returned to the normal
seating position, the head
restraints/headrests must be returned to
the upright position to properly protect
vehicle occupants.
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this sec-
tion. Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint/headrest stalks or
remove the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head
restraint/headrest has been removed. If
the head restraint/headrest was removed,
reinstall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to fol-
low these instructions can reduce the ef-
fectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

Indicates the seating position is equipped with
a head restraint.
 Indicates the seating position is equipped with
a headrest.
+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped
with a head restraint or headrest (if applicable) .

restraints/headrests have a single locking
notch to secure them to the seat frame.

– For the adjustable type, align the head restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest. – If your ear position is still higher than the
recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.

moved, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.
