PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE

Ifyouarewearing the seat belt properly adjusted

and sitting upright and well back in the seat,

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

the supplemental air bag systems.

proper position.

Do notdrive and/or ride in the vehicle with

the head restraint removed. This can be

dangerous. Head restraints should be ad-

justed prope�ly as they may provide signifi-

cant protection against injuꢀ in an acci-

dent. Check the height after someone else

uses the seat.

2. Push in the lock knob ꢀ and push down the

head restraint to lower to the proper position.

3. Tilt the head restraint to the desired position

0. (if so equipped)

The adjustable rear head restraint should only be

used in the notched stem positions. The lowest

head restraint position is the stowed position.

The proper adjustment of the head restraint is as

illustrated.

When removing the rear head restraint for seat

folding etc., push the lock knob and pull up the

head restraint. The removed head restraint

should be securely stored.

Adjust the head redtraint so that the head re-

straint's center is level with the center of the

WARNING:

provide the proteꢆion for which they

have been designed. A slack belt wilꢂ

greatly reduce the protection aﬀorded

to the wearer.

•

It is essential to repꢂace the entire as-

sembly after it has been worn in a se-

vere impact even if damage to the as-

sembly is not obvious.

•

Seatbeltsare designed tobearupon the

bony structure of the bodyꢇ and should

be worn low across the front of the

pelvis orthe pelvisꢇ chest and shouꢂꢃeꢄꢇ

as applicable; wearing the ꢂap section of

the belt across the abdominal area must

be avoided. Serious inꢅuꢀ may occur if a

seat beꢂt is not worn properꢂy.

•

Aꢂl seat belt assembꢂies including re-

tractors and attaching hardware should

be inspeꢆed after any collision by a

NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recommends

that aꢂl seat beꢂt assemblies in use dur-

ing a collision be replaced unless the

coꢂlision was minor and the beꢂts show

no damage and continue to operate

properly. Seat belt assemblies not in

use during a collision should also be

inspected andꢇ when necessaꢀꢇ re-

placed if either damage or improper

operation is noted.

•

Eveꢀ person who drives or rides in this

vehicle shoulꢃ use a seat belt at all

times. Children should be properꢂy re-

strained in the rear seat anꢃꢇ if appro-

priateꢇ in a child restraint system.

Do not run the belt behind your back or

under your arm. Aꢂways route the shoul-

der belt over your shouꢂder and across

your chest. The belt shouꢂd be away

from your face and neckꢇ but not falling

off your shoulder. Serious inꢅuꢀ may

occur if a seat belt is not worn properly.

•

Position the ꢂap belt as low and snug as

possible around the hipsꢇ not the waist.

A lap belt worn too high could-increase

the risk of internal inꢅuries in an acci-

dent.

Do .not allow more than one person to

use the same seat belt. Each .beꢂt as-

sembly must onꢂy be used by one occu-

pant; it is dangerous to put a belt

^{around a child bein}^g^{carried on the}J

occupant's lap.

•

No modifications or additions should be

made by the user which wiꢂꢂ either pre-

vent the seat beꢂt adꢅusting devices

from operating to remove slackꢇ or pre-

vent the seat belt assembꢂy from being

adꢅusted to remove slack.

•

Once the pre-tensioner seat beꢂt has

activatedꢇ it cannot be reused. It must be

replaced together with the retractor.

Contact a NISSAN dealer.

•

Never carꢀ more people in the vehicꢂe

than there are seat belts.

Removal and instalꢂation of the pre-

tensioner seat beꢂt system components

should be done by a NISSAN dealer.

Care shouꢂd be taken to avoid contami-

nation of the webbing with poꢂishesꢇ

oils and chemicalsꢇ and particuꢂarly bat-

teꢀ acid. Cꢂeaning maysafeꢂy be carried

out using mild soap and water. The belt

shouꢂd be replaced if webbing becomes

frayed, contaminated or damaged.

Never wear seat belts inside out. Beꢂts

should not be worn with straps twisted.

Doing so may reduce their effective-

ness.

come too close to the ꢈace or neck. The

lap belt may not ꢈit over their smalꢂ

hipbones. In an accidentꢇ an improperꢂy

ꢈitted seat belt could cause serious or

ꢈatal injuꢀ.

INJURED PERSONS

could be seriousꢂy injured in an accident

or sudden stop.

NISSAN recommends that injured persons use

seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific

recommendations.

Children who are too large for a child restraint

system should be seated and restrained by the

seat belts that are provided.

If the child's seating position has a shoulder belt

that fits close to the face or neck, the use of a

booster seat (commercially available) may help

overcome this. The boosterseatshould raise the

child so that the shoulder belt is properly posi-

tioned across the top, middle portion of the

shoulder and the lap belt is low on the hips. The

booster seat should also fit the vehicle seat.

Once the child has grown so that the shoulder

belt is no longer on or near the face or neck of

the child, use the shoulder belt without the

booster seat. In addition, there are many types of

child restraint systems available for larger chil-

•

Always use an appropriate child re-

straint system.

Children need adults to help protect them. They

need to be properly restrained. The proper re-

straint depends on the child's size.
