2011 NISSAN Consumer Safety & Air Bag Information Guide 14



For the seat belt to be most effective when the vehicle is in motion, the seatback should be
upright. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous, as the shoulder belt will not be against your body. In a collision, 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. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet on
the floor and adjust the seat belt properly.

OTHER SPECIFICS ABOUT SEAT BELTS
ƒ Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted.
ƒ Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
ƒ Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.
ƒ If the seat belt warning light illuminates continuously while the ignition is turned ON with
all doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the system;
have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
ƒ See the vehicle owner’s manual for more detailed information to help you better
understand the important safety warnings, system features, operation and maintenance
of your vehicle’s seat belts.

CONCERN FOR YOUR SAFETY
NISSAN urges you to always use your available seat belt restraint system whenever you
drive, even if your vehicle is equipped with supplemental air bags. Please ask all of your
passengers to buckle up too. For children, make sure they are secured in an appropriate
child restraint or booster seat.* Seat belts do save lives. See the vehicle owner’s manual
for details.



* Please see the vehicle owner’s manual and child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for complete

details.

NISSAN’S COMMITMENT
TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In our continuing effort to convey our commitment to service and customer satisfaction,
NISSAN may occasionally offer to pay or reimburse for part or all of the cost of making
certain, specific repairs beyond or outside of the terms of the warranty for some specific
vehicle models. (Some states refer to such programs as “adjustment programs.”) In such
circumstances, NISSAN mails notices to all known registered owners of affected vehicles.
You may additionally inquire of your authorized NISSAN dealer or of NISSAN directly
(through the 1-800-NISSAN-1 telephone number) of the applicability of such programs to
your vehicle.

NISSAN may occasionally offer special assistance that may pay for part or all of vehicle
repairs beyond the expiration of the limited warranty period on a case-by-case basis.
Should you experience unusual difficulties with your vehicle please discuss the situation
with your dealer. If your dealer is unable to assist you, you may call the NISSAN Consumer
Affairs Department at 1-800-NISSAN-1 to discuss your concern. You will need to provide
the Model, Model Year, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), mileage, maintenance history,
a detailed explanation of the concern and why you believe that NISSAN should be
responsible for the repair. Your request will be individually investigated and you will be
informed of NISSAN’s decision.
