proper restraints are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
● Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone
in your vehicle is in a seat and using a
seat belt properly.
● Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
● Do not fold down the rear seats when

LRS2713
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
restraint/headrest. To remove the head
restraints/headrests, push and hold the lock
knob while moving the head
restraint/headrest in an upward direction.
Store the head restraints/headrests properly
so they are not loose in the vehicle. 2. Stow the 2nd row seat belts in the seat belt
hooks found on the sides of the vehicle.
3. For vehicles equipped with 3rd row seating, pull the strap
1on the lower side of the
outboard seats and lift up on the recline lever
2located on the top of the outboard seats
to fold the seatbacks flat. For vehicles not
equipped with 3rd row seating, lift up on the
recline lever
2on the top of the outboard
seats to fold the seatbacks flat.
4. To return the 2nd row bench seats to a seating position, push up on the seatback
until it latches in place.

Folding the 3rd row seats (if so
equipped)
To fold the 3rd row seats flat for maximum cargo
capacity:1. Make sure the head restraints/headrests are all the way down.
2. Pull the strap
1to release the seat.
3. Once released, push the seatback forward
2. To return the 3rd row seats to a seating position:
1. Use the pull straps
1to raise each seat-
back. Pull back until the seatback latches
into position. Make sure to properly raise
each seatback to an upright and se-
cured position.
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.

WARNING
●After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the shoul-
der belt anchor up and down to make
sure it is securely fixed in position.
● The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position best for you.
Failure to do so may reduce the effec-
tiveness of the entire restraint system
and increase the chance or severity of
injury in an accident.
Seat belt hook
When the seat belt is not in use and when folding
down the rear seats, hook the rear seat belts on
the seat belt hooks.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap/shoulder belt
and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with
the installed seat belts is available for purchase.
The extender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm)
of length and are available for the:
● Driver and front passenger seating position ●
2nd and 3rd row seating position
See a NISSAN dealer for assistance with pur-
chasing an extender if an extender is required.
WARNING
● Only NISSAN seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which made the
original equipment seat belts, should
be used with NISSAN seat belts.
● Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use could
result in serious personal injury in the
event of an accident.
● Never use seat belt extenders to install
child restraints. If the child restraint is
not secured properly, the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision
or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
● To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpet.
Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are completely
dry.
