back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your

chances of being injured or killed in an accident

and/or the severity of injury may be greatly

reduced NISSAN strongly encourages you and

all of your passengers to buckle up every time

you drive, even if your seating position includes a

supplemental air bag

Most U.S states and Canadian provinces

or territories specify that seat belts be

worn at all times when a vehicle is being

SSS0014

WARNING Every person who drives or rides inthis vehicle should use a seat belt atall times Children should be prop-erly restrained in the rear seat and,

if appropriate, in a child restraint

The seat belt should be properlyadjusted to a snug fit Failure to do

so may reduce the effectiveness ofthe entire restraint system and in-crease the chance or severity ofinjury in an accident Serious injury

or death can occur if the seat belt isnot worn properly

Always route the shoulder belt overyour shoulder and across yourchest Never put the belt behindyour back, under your arm or acrossyour neck The belt should be awayfrom your face and neck, but notfalling off your shoulder

Position the lap belt as low andsnug as possible AROUND THEHIPS, NOT THE WAIST A lap beltworn too high could increase therisk of internal injuries in an acci-dent

Be sure the seat belt tongue issecurely fastened to the properbuckle

Do not wear the seat belt inside out

or twisted Doing so may reduce itseffectiveness

Do not allow more than one person

to use the same seat belt

Never carry more people in thevehicle than there are seat belts If the seat belt warning light glowscontinuously while the ignition isturned ON with all doors closed andall seat belts fastened, it may in-dicate a malfunction in the system.Have the system checked by aNISSAN dealer

No changes should be made to theseat belt system For example, donot modify the seat belt, add mate-rial, or install devices that maychange the seat belt routing ortension Doing so may affect theoperation of the seat belt system.Modifying or tampering with theseat belt system may result inserious personal injury

Once a seat belt pretensioner has

1-16 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

activated, it cannot be reused and

must be replaced together with the

retractor See a NISSAN dealer

Removal and installation of the

pretensioner system components

should be done by a NISSAN dealer

All seat belt assemblies, including

retractors and attaching hardware,

should be inspected after any

colli-sion by a NISSAN dealer NISSAN

recommends that all seat belt

as-semblies in use during a collision be

replaced unless the collision was

minor and the belts show no

da-mage and continue to operate

prop-erly Seat belt assemblies not in use

during a collision should also be

inspected and replaced if either

damage or improper operation is

noted

All child restraints and attaching

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-17

Fastening the seat belts

1 Adjust the seat (See “SEATS” earlier in this

section.)

2 Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor

and insert the tongue into the buckle until

you hear and feel the latch engage

The retractor is designed to lock

during a sudden stop or on impact

A slow pulling motion permits the

belt to move and allows you some

freedom of movement in the seat

If the seat belt cannot be pulled

from its fully retracted position,

firmly pull the belt and release it

Then smoothly pull the belt out ofthe retractor

SSS0290

3 Position the lap belt portion low and snug

on the hips as shown

4 Pull the shoulder belt portion toward theretractor to take up extra slack Be sure theshoulder belt is routed over your shoulderand across your chest

The front passenger seat and the rear seatingpositions three-point seat belts have two modes

of operation:

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) modeallows the seat belt to extend and retract to

1-18 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

allow the driver and passengers some freedom

of movement in the seat The ELR locks the seat

belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly or

during certain impacts

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode

(child restraint mode) locks the seat belt for

child restraint installation

When ALR mode is activated the seat belt

cannot be extended again until the seat belt

tongue is detached from the buckle and fully

retracted The seat belt returns to the ELR mode

after the seat belt fully retracts For additional

information, see “CHILD RESTRAINTS” later in

this section

The ALR mode should be used only for

child restraint installation During normal

seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR

mode should not be activated If it is

activated, it may cause uncomfortable seat

belt tension

WARNINGWhen fastening the seat belts, be

certain that seatbacks are completely

secured in the latched position If they

are not completely secured, passengers

may be injured in an accident or sudden

stop

SSS0326

Unfastening the seat belts

To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on thebuckle The seat belt automatically retracts

Checking seat belt operation

Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seatbelt movement by two separate methods:

When the belt is pulled quickly from theretractor

When the vehicle slows down rapidly

To increase your confidence in the seat belts,check the operation as follows:

Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forwardquickly 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 beltoperation, see a NISSAN dealer

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-19
