WARNING

● 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 and
upright in the seat with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat properly. For
additional information, refer to “Pre-
cautions on seat belt usage” in this
section.

● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

● Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls or make the
vehicle

move.

Unattended

children

could

become

involved

serious

accidents.

● To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.

● Do not adjust the driver’s seat while

driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. The seat may move
suddenly and could cause loss of con-
trol of the vehicle.

● The seatback should not be reclined

any more than needed for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and
being injured is increased.

FLEXIBLE SEATING

WARNING

● Do not allow people to ride in any area

of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone
in your vehicle is in a seat and using a
seat belt properly.

● Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo

area or on the rear seats when they are
in the fold-down position. In a collision,
people riding in these areas without
proper restraints are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.

● Head restraints/headrests should be

adjusted properly as they may provide
significant protection against injury in
an accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.

● If the head restraints/headrests are re-

moved for any reason, they should be
securely stored to prevent them from
causing injury to passengers or damage
to the vehicle in case of sudden braking
or an accident.

● When returning the seatbacks to the

upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.

Folding the front passenger’s seatback

To fold the front passenger’s seatback flat for
extra storage:

1. Slide the seat to the rearmost position. Lift

up on the recline lever

䊊

, located on the

outside edge of the seat, and fold the seat-
back forward as far as it will go. Then lift up
on the latch

䊊

located on the inside of the

seatback to release the back of the seat.

LRS2655

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

NOTE:

When the seat is folded forward the belt
buckle must be in the forward position to
prevent excessive wear.

2. Once the seatback is released, it will enable

you to fold the front passenger seatback

䊊

flat over the seat cushion.

3. To return the front passenger’s seat to a

seating position, lift up on the seatback and
push it up to an upright position. Then pull up
on the recline lever

䊊

and lean the seatback

to a proper seating position. Release the
lever to lock the seatback in position.

WARNING

● If you fold the front passenger’s seat-

back flat forward to carry objects, be
sure this cargo is properly secured and
not near an air bag. In a crash, an inflat-
ing air bag might force that object to-
ward a person. This could cause severe
injury or even death. Secure objects
away from the area in which an air bag
would inflate. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Precautions on SRS” in
this section.

● Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo

area or on the front passenger’s seat
when it is in the fold-down position. Use
of these areas by passengers could re-
sult in serious injury in an accident or
sudden stop.

● Properly secure all cargo to help pre-

vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seatbacks.
In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury (even
if the vehicle is equipped with a parti-
tion dividing the seating area and the
cargo area).

CAUTION

Do not place objects on the seatback un-
less it is folded completely horizontal. If
seatback is in any other position it could
cause damage.

WARNING

Head

restraints/headrests

supplement

the other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this sec-
tion. Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint/headrest stalks or
remove the head restraint/headrest. Do
not

use

the

seat

the

head

restraint/headrest has been removed. If
the head restraint/headrest was removed,
reinstall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to fol-
low these instructions can reduce the ef-
fectiveness

the

head

restraints/headrests. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints/headrests.

● Adjustable head restraints/headrests have

multiple notches along the stalk(s) to lock
them in a desired adjustment position.

● The

non-adjustable

head

restraints/headrests have a single locking
notch to secure them to the seat frame.

● Proper Adjustment:

– For the adjustable type, align the head

restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.

– If your ear position is still higher than the

recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.

● If the head restraint/headrest has been re-

moved, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad-
justed and you are sitting upright and well back in
your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances
of being injured or killed in a collision 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 supple-
mental air bag.

Most U.S. states specify that seat belts be
worn at all times when a vehicle is being
driven.

SEAT BELTS

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-11

WARNING

● Every person who drives or rides in this

vehicle should use a seat belt at all
times. Children should be in the rear
seats and in an appropriate restraint.

WARNING

● The seat belt should be properly ad-

justed to a snug fit. 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. Serious injury or death can occur if
the seat belt is not worn properly.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING

● Always route the shoulder belt over

your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put the belt behind your back,
under your arm or across your neck. The
belt should be away from your face and
neck, but not falling off your shoulder.

● Position the lap belt as low and snug as

possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in
an accident.

● Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely

fastened to the proper buckle.

● Do not wear the seat belt inside out or

twisted.

Doing

may

reduce

its

effectiveness.

● Do not allow more than one person to

use the same seat belt.

● Never carry more people in the vehicle

than there are seat belts.

● If the seat belt warning light glows con-

tinuously while the ignition is turned
ON with all doors closed and all seat
belts fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

● No changes should be made to the seat

belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material, or install
devices that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may affect
the operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious per-
sonal injury.

● Once seat belt pretensioner(s) have ac-

tivated, they cannot be reused and must
be replaced together with the retractor.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

● All seat belt assemblies, including re-

tractors and attaching hardware, should
be inspected after any collision. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision be replaced un-
less the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly. 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 hard-

ware should be inspected after any col-
lision.

Always

follow

the

restraint

manufacturer’s inspection instructions
and

replacement

recommendations.

The child restraints should be replaced
if they are damaged.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT

Both the driver’s and passenger’s front seats are
equipped with a seat belt warning light. The
warning light, located on the instrument panel,
will show the status of the driver and passenger
seat belt.

NOTE:

The front passenger seat belt warning light
will not light up if the seat is not occupied.

For additional information, refer to “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.

PREGNANT WOMEN

NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug and
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your ab-
dominal area. Contact your doctor for specific
recommendations.

INJURED PERSONS

NISSAN recommends that injured persons use
seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WITH RETRACTOR

WARNING

● Every person who drives or rides in this

vehicle should use a seat belt at all
times. Children should be in the rear
seats and in an appropriate restraint.

● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

● For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and
upright 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 activated, the
child can be seriously injured 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 cannot
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.

Fastening the seat belts

1. Adjust the seat. For additional information,

refer to “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.

● The retractor is designed to lock dur-

ing a sudden stop or on impact. A
slow pulling motion permits the seat
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 of the re-
tractor.

3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug

on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the

retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder
and across your chest.

The front passenger seat and rear seat three-
point seat belts have two modes of operation:

● Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
● Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The 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 seat belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly
or during certain impacts.

The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.

When the 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, refer to “Child restraints” in this sec-
tion.

The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by a passenger, the ALR mode
should not be activated. If it is activated it
may cause uncomfortable seat belt ten-
sion. It can also change the operation of
the front passenger air bag. For additional
information, refer to “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that the seatbacks are completely secured
in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be
injured in an accident or sudden stop.

Unfastening the seat belts

To unfasten the seat belt, press the button on the
buckle

䊊

. The seat belt automatically retracts.

Checking seat belt operation

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

● When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the

retractor

● 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 re-
strict further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during this check,
get the system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service or to
learn more about seat belt operation.
