Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system -> Three-point type seat belt with retractor for Your Nissan Leaf 4 Door First Generation (2010-2017)

PREGNANT WOMEN  
•
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 belt properly.  
Do not allow children to play with the  
seat belts. Most seating positions are  
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-  
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the  
seat belt becomes wrapped around a  
child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-  
vated, the child can be seriously in-  
jured or killed if the seat belt retracts  
and becomes tight. This can occur  
even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle  
the seat belt to release the child. If the  
seat belt can not be unbuckled or is  
already unbuckled, release the child by  
cutting the seat belt with a suitable  
tool (such as a knife or scissors) to  
release the seat belt.  
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use  
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug,  
and always position the lap belt as low as pos-  
sible around the hips, not the waist. Place the  
shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your  
chest. Never put the lap/shoulder belt over your  
abdominal area. Contact your doctor for specific  
recommendations.

INJURED PERSONS  
NISSAN recommends that injured persons use  
seat belts, depending on the injury. Check with  
your doctor for specific recommendations.  
Fastening the seat belts  
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT  
WITH RETRACTOR  
1. Adjust the seat. See “Seats” 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.  
WARNING  
• 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 move-  
ment in the seat.  
•
Every person who drives or rides in this  
vehicle should use a seat belt at all  
times.

• 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 of the retractor.  
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” in this section.  
3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug  
on the hips as shown.  
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 ten-  
sion.  
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the re-  
tractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the  
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder and  
across your chest.  
The front passenger seat and the rear seating  
positions three-point seat belts have two modes  
of operation:  
WARNING  
When fastening the seat belts, be certain  
that seatbacks are completely secured in  
the latched position. If they are not com-  
pletely secured, passengers may be in-  
jured in an accident or sudden stop.

Checking seat belt operation  
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt  
movement by two separate methods:  
• When the belt is pulled quickly from the retrac-  
tor.  
• 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 forward  
quickly. The retractor should lock and restrict  
further belt movement.  
If the retractor does not lock during this check or  
if you have any questions about seat belt opera-  
tion, see a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.  
The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-  
justed to the position that is best for you. See  
“Precautions on seat belt usage” in this section.  
Unfastening the seat belts  
To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the  
buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.

position  
so that the belt passes over the

center of the shoulder. The belt should be away  
from your face and neck, but not falling off of your  
shoulder. Release the adjustment button to lock  
the shoulder belt anchor into position.

WARNING  
•
•
After adjustment, release the adjust-  
ment button and then try to move the  
shoulder belt anchor up and down to  
make sure that it is securely fixed in  
position.  
The shoulder belt anchor height  
should be adjusted to the position that  
is best for you. Failure to do so may  
reduce the effectiveness of the entire  
restraint system and increase the  
chance or severity of injury in an acci-  
dent.  
Seat belt hooks

folding down the rear seats, hook the rear outer  
seat belts on the seat belt hooks.
