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 aftersomeone else uses the seat Do notattach anything to the head restraintstalks or remove the head restraint Donot use the seat if the head restrainthas been removed If the head restraintwas removed, reinstall and properlyadjust the head restraint before anoccupant uses the seating position

Failure to follow these instructionscan reduce the effectiveness of thehead restraints This may increase therisk of serious injury or death in a

3 Properly adjust the head restraint before anoccupant uses the seating position

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

Front-seat Active Head Restraints

The 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 positions

Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints asdescribed in this section

ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS (if so equipped)

WARNINGThe adjustable headrests supplementthe other vehicle safety systems Theymay provide additional protectionagainst injury in certain rear end colli-sions Adjust the headrest properly, asspecified in this section Check theadjustment after someone else usesthe seat Do not attach anything to theadjustable headrest stalks or removethe adjustable headrest Do not use theseat if the adjustable headrest hasbeen removed If the adjustable head-rest was removed, reinstall and prop-erly adjust the headrest before anoccupant uses the seating position

or twisted Doing so may reduce itseffectiveness

Do not allow more than one person

to use the same seat belt

“Rear seat belt buckles (except for CargoVan models)” later in this section

SSS0292

3 Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractorand insert the tongue into the buckle untilyou hear and feel the latch engage The retractor is designed to lockduring a sudden stop or on impact

A slow pulling motion permits thebelt to move and allows you somefreedom of movement in the seat If the seat belt cannot be pulledfrom its fully retracted position,firmly pull the belt and release it.Then smoothly pull the belt out ofthe retractor

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-15

4 Position the lap belt portion low and snug

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode

allows the seat belt to extend and retract to

allow the driver and passengers some freedom

of movement in the seat The ELR locks the seatbelt when the vehicle slows down rapidly orduring certain impacts

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode(child restraint mode) locks the seat belt forchild restraint installation

When ALR mode is activated the seat beltcannot be extended again until the seat belttongue is detached from the buckle and fullyretracted The seat belt returns to the ELR modeafter the seat belt fully retracts For additionalinformation, see “CHILD RESTRAINTS” later inthis section

The ALR mode should be used only forchild restraint installation During normalseat belt use by an occupant, the ALRmode should not be activated If it isactivated, it may cause uncomfortable seatbelt tension

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 that can be

purchased The extender adds approximately 8

in (200 mm) of length and may be used for either

the driver or front passenger seating position

See a NISSAN dealer for assistance with

purchasing 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 in a

collision or a sudden stop

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

To clean the seat belt webbing, apply amild soap solution or any solution recom-mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets

Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seatbelts to dry in the shade Do not allow theseat belts to retract until they are completelydry

If dirt builds up in the shoulder beltguide of the seat belt anchors, the seatbelts may retract slowly Wipe the shoulderbelt guide with a clean, dry cloth

Periodically check to see that the seatbelt and the metal components, such asbuckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wiresand anchors, work properly If loose parts,deterioration, cuts or other damage on thewebbing is found, the entire seat beltassembly should be replaced

Children need adults to help protect them.They need to be properly restrained

In addition to the general information in thismanual, child safety information is available frommany other sources, including doctors, teachers,government traffic safety offices, and communityorganizations Every child is different, so be sure

to learn the best way to transport your child.There are three basic types of child restraintsystems:

Rear-facing child restraint Forward-facing child restraint Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.Generally, infants up to about 1 year and lessthan 20 lbs (9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints Forward-facing childrestraints are available for children who outgrowrear-facing child restraints and are at least 1year old Booster seats are used to help position

a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can nolonger use a forward-facing child restraint

come too close to the face or neck The

lap belt may not fit over their small hip

bones In an accident, an improperly

fitting seat belt could cause serious or

fatal injury Always use appropriate

child restraints

All U.S states and Canadian provinces or

territories require the use of approved child

restraints for infants and small children See

“CHILD RESTRAINTS” later in this section

A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle

by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor and

Tethers for CHildren) system or with the vehicle

seat belt See “CHILD RESTRAINTS” later in

this section for more information

NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens

and children be restrained in the rear seat

Studies show that children are safer when

properly restrained in the rear seat than in

the front seat

This is especially important because your

vehicle has a supplemental restraint

sys-tem (Air bag syssys-tem) for the front

passen-ger See “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT

SYSTEM” later in this section

INFANTS

in a rear-facing child restraint NISSAN mends that infants be placed in child restraintsthat comply with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Canadian Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards You should choose a child restraintthat fits your vehicle and always follow themanufacturer’s instructions for installation anduse
