SEATS

jured in an accident or sudden stop. When op-

erating the seatback release always rock the

seatback afterwards to check that it is locked.

When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo,

properly secure all cargo to help prevent 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.

•

Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area

or on the rear seat when it is in the folded-

down position. Use of these areas by passen-

gers without proper restraints could result in

serious injury or death in an accident or sud-

den stop.

SSS0133Z

Sit upright and well back

switches or controls, or make the vehicle

move. Unattended children could become in-

volved in serious accidents.

WARNING

Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seat-

back 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.

•

To help avoid risk of injury or death through

unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its

systems, do not leave children, people who re-

quire the assistance of others, or pets unat-

tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-

perature 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.

•

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to

contact any moving parts to avoid possible inju-

ries and/or damage.

For the most effective protection when the ve-

hicle 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. See “Precautions on seat belt usage”

later in this section.

•

FRONT SEATS

The seatback should not be reclined any more

than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most

effective when the passenger sits well back

and upright in the seat. If the seatback is re-

clined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and

being injured is increased.

•

Do not adjust the driver's seat while driving.

The seat may move suddenly and could cause

loss of control of the vehicle.

When returning the seatbacks to the upright

position, be certain that they are completely

secured in the latched position. If they are not

completely secured, passengers may be in-

After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to

make sure it is securely locked.

controls” section.

Reclining:

CAUTION

When moving the seats forward or backward, or

returning a rear-reclined seatback to its upright

position, make sure you hold onto the seatback

while operating. If the seatback is not held, the

seat or seatback will move suddenly and could

cause injury.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seat-

back for occupants of different sizes for added com-

fort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit, see “Pre-

cautions on seat belt usage” later in this section.

Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occu-

pants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the

vehicle is in the P (Park) position or N (Neutral) posi-

tion with the parking brake applied.

Folding

CAUTION

The luggage compartment loading capacity can be

increased by folding the rear seats forward as

shown.

Always ensure that the seat belt is not trapped in

the release lever or any other vehicle part.

REAR HEAD RESTRAINT

COMPONENTS

WARNING

Head restraints supplement the other vehicle

safety systems. They may provide additional pro-

tection against injury in certain rear end colli-

sions. Adjust the head restraints properly, as

specified in this section. Check the adjustment af-

ter someone else uses the seat. Do not attach

anything to the head restraint stalks or remove

the head restraint. Do not use the seat if the head

restraint has been removed. If the head restraint

was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the

head restraint before an occupant uses the seat-

ing position. Failure to follow these instructions

can reduce the effectiveness of the head

restraints. This may increase the risk of serious

injury or death in a collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE

WARNING

Be sure to observe the following warnings when

using seat belts. Failure to do so could increase

the chance and/or severity of injury in an acci-

dent.

If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted,

and you are sitting upright and well back in your

seat, 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,

regardless of whether or not your seating position

includes a supplemental air bag.

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as pos-

sible, consistent with comfort, to provide the

protection for which they have been designed.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection

afforded to the wearer.

•

Every person who drives or rides in this ve-

•

hicle should use a seat belt at all times. Chil-

dren should be in the rear seats and in an ap-

propriate restraint.

Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely fas-

tened to the proper buckle.

•

The seat belt should be properly adjusted to a

snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the effec-

tiveness of the entire restraint system and in-

crease the chance or severity of injury in an

accident. Serious injury or death can occur if

the seat belt is not worn properly.

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.

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.

Each belt assembly must only be used by one

occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around

a child being carried on the occupant's lap.

SSS0136Z

If the seat belt warning light illuminates con-

tinuously while the ignition switch is in the ON

position, with all doors closed, and all seat

belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction

in the system. Have the system checked by a

NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

•

Sit upright and well back

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and

do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the

vehicle is moving.

All seat belt assemblies, including retractors

and attaching hardware, should be inspected

by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop af-

ter any collision. NISSAN recommends that all

seat belt assemblies in use during a collision

be replaced unless the collision was minor and

the belts show no damage and continue to op-

erate properly. Seat belt assemblies not in use

duringa collisionshouldalso be inspected and

replaced if either damage or improper opera-

tion is noted.

PREGNANT WOMEN

SSS0099Z

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

put the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.

Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

Infants or small children

NISSAN recommends that infants or small children

should be seated in a child restraint on the rear

seats. According to accident statistics, children are

safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than

in the front seat. See “Child restraints” later in this

section. You should choose a child restraint system

which fits your vehicle and always follow the manu-

facturer's instructions for installation and use.

All child restraints and attaching hardware

shouldbe inspected afteranycollision.Always

follow the restraint manufacturer’s inspection

instructions and replacement recommenda-

tions. The child restraints should be replaced

if they are damaged.

•

INJURED PERSONS

NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat

belts, depending on the injury. Check with your doc-

tor for specific recommendations.

Children

It is essential to replace the entire assembly

after it has been worn in a severe impact even

if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

Children who are too large for child restraints

should be seated and restrained by the seat belts

that are provided.

•

Care should be taken to avoid contamination

of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-

cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning

may safely be carried out using mild soap and

water. The belt should be replaced if webbing

becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

The use of a booster seat (commercially available)

may help to avoid the shoulder belt coming across

the face or neck area of a child's seating position.

The booster seat should raise the child so that the

shoulder belt is properly positioned across the top,

middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt is

PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT

SYSTEM

The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system is ac-

tivated in conjunction with the front air bag system.

It helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle is

involved in certain types of collisions by restraining

the seat occupants via the seat belt retractor.

as conventional seat belts.

but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure

to have the pre-tensioner system checked

and, if necessary, replaced by a NISSAN dealer

or qualified workshop.

Additionally, the driver's side pre-tensioner seat belt

system is also equipped with a lap pre-tensioner.

Both the retractor pre-tensioner and lap pre-ten-

sioner provide significant protection against injury

in an accident and increase the safety performance

of your vehicle.

No unauthorised changes should be made to

•

any components or wiring of the pre-

tensioner seat belt system. This is to prevent

accidental activation of the pre-tensioner seat

belt or damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt

operation. Tampering with the pre-tensioner

seat belt system may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

NIC3752

When folding the rear seat forward, the outer seat

belts can be stored out of the way using the storage

holder shown in the illustration.

When the pre-tensioner seat belt system activates,

smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard.

The smoke is harmless, but care should be taken

not to inhale it as it may cause irritation and chok-

ing.

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained.

accident statistics, children are safer when prop-

erly restrained in the rear seat than in the front

seat.

In addition to the general information in this

manual, child safety information is available from

many other sources, including doctors, teachers,

government traffic safety offices, and community

organisations. Every child is different, so be sure to

learn the best way to transport your child.

This is especially important because your vehicle

has a supplemental restraint system (air bag sys-

tem) for the front passenger. (See “Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS)” later in this section.)

When selling your vehicle, we request that you in-

form the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt

system and guide the buyer to the appropriate sec-

tions in this Owner's Manual.

INFANTS

There are two basic types of child restraint system:

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed in

a rear-facing child restraint. You should choose a

child restraint that fits your vehicle and always fol-

low the manufacturer’s instructions for installation

and use.

Rear-facing child restraints

•

Front-facing child restraints

•

The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.

Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less than

9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints.

Front-facing child restraints are available for chil-

dren who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and

are at least 1 year old.

SMALL CHILDREN

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at least

9 kg can be placed in a front-facing child restraint.

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for mini-

mum and maximum weight and height recommen-

dations. You should choose a child restraint that fits

your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s

instructions for installation and use.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protection. The

vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly. The

shoulder belt may 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.

LARGER CHILDREN

Children who are too large for a child restraint sys-

tem should be seated and restrained by the seat

belts that are provided. If the child's seating posi-

tion has a shoulder belt that fits close to the face or

neck, the use of a booster seat (commercially avail-

able) may help overcome this. The booster seat

should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is

properly positioned 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

properly fitting seat belt could cause serious

or fatal injury.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD

RESTRAINTS

NISSAN recommends that the child restraint

system be installed in the rear seat. According

to accident statistics, children are safer when

properly restrained in the rear seat rather than

in the front seat.

•

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

Check any legal requirements applicable in your lo-

cation. For example, the U.K. has legal requirements

to use child restraints based on height and age, see

“Child restraints” later in this section for more infor-

mation

Child restraint systems specially designed for

infants and small children are available from

several manufacturers. When selecting any

child restraint systems, place your child in the

child restraint system and check the various

adjustments to be sure that the child restraint

system is compatible with your child. Always

follow the manufacturer's instructions for in-

stallation and use.

SSS0099Z

WARNING

Infants and small children should always be

placed in an appropriate child restraint sys-

tem while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a

child restraint system can result in serious in-

jury or death.

•

Follow all of the child restraint manufacturer's

instructions for installation and use. When

purchasing a child restraint, be sure to select

one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may

not be possible to properly install some types

of child restraint in your vehicle.

•

Infants and small children should never be

carried on your lap. It is not possible for even

the strongest adult to resist the forces of a se-

vere accident. The child could be crushed be-

tween the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also,

do not put the same seat belt around a child

and yourself.

Check the child restraint system in your ve-

hicle to be sure that it is compatible with the

vehicle's seat belt system.

•

Forafront-facingchildrestraintsystem,check

to make sure the shoulder belt does not fit

close to the child's face or neck.

Infants and children need special protection.

The vehicle's seat belts may not fit them prop-

erly. The shoulder belt may come too close to

the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over

Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem on the front passenger seat without first

deactivating the passenger air bag with the

front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),

see “Front passenger air bag switch (where

fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-

sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-

flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-

tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure

or kill your child.

Improper use of a child restraint system can

increase the risk or severity of injury for both

the child and other occupants in the vehicle.

CHILD RESTRAINT AND ISOFIX

INFORMATION

When selecting any child restraint, keep the follow-

ing points in mind:

When the child restraint system is not in use,

keep it secured with the ISOFIX child restraint

system or a seat belt to prevent it from being

thrown around in case of a sudden stop or

accident.

Choose a child restraint that complies with the

•

latest European safety standard, ECE Regulation

44.04 and i-Size regulation R129 where appli-

cable.

Place your child in the child restraint and check

NISSAN recommends that infants and small children

be seated in a child restraint system. You should

choose a child restraint system that fits your ve-

hicle and always follow the manufacturer's instruc-

tions for installation and use. In addition, there are

many types of child restraint systems available for

larger children that should be used for maximum

protection.

•

Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned to

fit the child restraint system, but as upright as

possible.

the various adjustments to be sure the child re-

straint is compatible with your child. Always fol-

low all of the recommended procedures.

•

If the seat belt in the position where a child

restraint system is installed requires a locking

device and if it is not used, injuries could result

from a child restraint system tipping over dur-

ing normal vehicle braking or cornering.

Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be

sure it is compatible with the vehicle's seat belt

system.

•

Refer to the tables later in this section for a list of

the recommended fitment positions and the ap-

proved child restraints for your vehicle.

•

CAUTION

After attaching a child restraint system, test it

before you place the child in it. Push it from

side to side and tug it forward to make sure

that it is held securely in place. The child re-

straint system should not move more than 25

mm (1 in). If the restraint is not secure, tighten

the belt as necessary, or install the restraint in

another seat and test it again.

•

Remember that a child restraint left in a closed

vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating

surface and buckles before placing your child in a

child restraint.

If a child restraint system is not anchored

properly, the risk of a child being injured in a

collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.

NOTE

Anchor attachment

Child restraints approved to ECE Regulation NO.

44.04 are clearly marked with the categories such

as Universal, Semi-universal or ISOFIX.

ISOFIX child restraints include two rigid attach-

ments that can be connected to two anchors lo-

cated in the seat. Check your child restraint for a

label stating that it is compatible with the ISOFIX

child restraints. This information may also be in the

instructions provided by the child restraint manu-

facturer.

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor points

that are used with ISOFIX child restraint systems.

ISOFIX child restraints generally require the use of a

top tether strap or other anti-rotation devices such

as support legs. When installing ISOFIX child

restraints, carefully read and follow the instructions

in this manual and those supplied with the child

restraints. See “ISOFIX child restraint system” later in

this section.

ISOFIX lower anchor point locations

NIC3725

The ISOFIX anchor points are provided to install

child restraints in the rear outer seating positions

only. Do not attempt to install a child restraint in

the centre position using the ISOFIX anchors.

ISOFIX cover removal (rear seats)

The ISOFIX anchor points are located, under covers

labelled ISOFIX, at the bottom of the rear seat cush-

ions as shown. To access an ISOFIX anchor point

insert your finger into the cover and pull the cover

off as shown.

34 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Do not secure a child restraint in the centre

rear seating position using the ISOFIX lower

anchors. The child restraint will not be secured

properly.

Anchorage location

Rear passenger seat anchors:

•

CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE

Your vehicle is designed to accommodate a child

restraint system on the rear seat. When installing a

child restraint system, carefully read and follow the

instructions in this manual and those supplied with

the child restraint system.

Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your

fingers into the lower anchor area and feeling

to make sure there are no obstructions over

the ISOFIX anchors, such as seat belt webbing

or seat cushion material. The child restraint

will not be secured properly if the ISOFIX an-

chors are obstructed.

WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are designed to

•

withstand only those loads imposed by cor-

rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-

stances are they to be used for adult seat belts,

harnesses or for attaching other items or

equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could dam-

age the child restraint anchorages. The child

restraint will not be properly installed using

the damaged anchorage, and a child could be

seriously injured or killed in a collision.

NIC3728

Anchor points are located on the seatback behind

the rear outer seating positions and should only be

used for child restraints in the rear outer positions.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem on the front passenger seat without first

deactivating the passenger air bag with the

front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),

see “Front passenger air bag switch (where

fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-

sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-

flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-

tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure

or kill your child.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION

USING ISOFIX

The child restraint top tether strap may be

•

damaged by contact with the parcel shelf or

items in the luggage area. Remove the parcel

shelf from the vehicle or secure it in the lug-

gage area. See “Parcel shelf” in the “2. Instru-

ments and controls” section. Also secure any

items in the luggage area. Your child could be

seriously injured or killed in a collision if the

top tether strap is damaged.

WARNING

Attach ISOFIX child restraints only at the speci-

•

fied locations. For the ISOFIX lower anchor lo-

cations, see “ISOFIX lower anchor point

locations” earlier in this section. If a child re-

straint is not secured properly, your child could

be seriously injured or killed in an accident.

NISSAN recommends that a child restraint be

installed on the rear seat. However, if you must

install a child restraint on the front passen-

ger’s seat, move the passenger’s seat to the

rearmost position.

•

Do not install child restraints that require the

use of a top tether strap to seating positions

that do not have a top tether anchor.

•

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 35

Child restraints for infants must be used in the

rear-facing direction and therefore must not

be used on the front passenger’s seat when

the front passenger’s air bag has not been

deactivated.

3. The back of the child restraint should be secured

against the vehicle seat back. If necessary, adjust

or remove the head restraint to obtain the cor-

rect child restraint fit. (See “Head restraints” ear-

lier in this section.) If the head restraint is re-

moved, store it in a secure place. Be sure to install

the head restraint when the child restraint is re-

moved. If the seating position does not have an

adjustable head restraint and it is interfering with

the proper child restraint fit, try another seating

position or a different child restraint.

6. If the child restraint is equipped with other anti-

rotation devices such as support legs, use them

instead of the top tether strap following the child

restraint manufacturer's instructions.

you are at greater risk of injury or death in an

accident. You may also receive serious or fatal

injuries from the supplemental front-impact

air bag if you are up against it when it inflates.

Always sit back against the seatback and as

far away as practical from the steering wheel.

Always use the seat belts.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON or

The SRS air bag warning light, displaying

in

the instrument panel, monitors the circuits of the

supplemental front-impact air bag, front seat-

mounted side-impact supplemental air bag (where

fitted), supplemental curtain side-impact air bags

(where fitted), and pre-tensioner seat belt systems.

The circuits monitored by the SRS air bag warning

light are the diagnosis sensor unit, crash zone sen-

sor, satellite sensors, front impact air bag modules,

front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air

bag modules (where fitted), roof-mounted curtain

side-impact supplemental air bag modules (where

fitted), pre-tensioner seat belt systems, and all re-

lated wiring.

Be sure to read the “AIRBAG LABEL” description at

the end of this manual.

In vehicles equipped with a front-impact passenger

air bag system, use a rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem only on the rear seats.

When installing a child restraint system in your ve-

hicle, always follow the child restraint system manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation. For informa-

tion, see “Child restraints” earlier in this section.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON or

START position, the supplemental air bag warn-

ing light illuminates. The air bag warning light will

turn off after approximately 7 seconds if the sys-

tem is operational.

44 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING

Do not place any objects on the steering wheel

pad. Do not place any objects between the

driver and steering wheel pad. Such objects

may become dangerous projectiles and cause

injury if a supplemental air bag inflates.

•

Immediately after inflation, several supple-

mentalairbagsystemcomponentswillbehot.

Do not touch them: you may severely burn

yourself.

•

No unauthorised changes should be made to

any components or wiring of the supplemen-

tal air bag systems. This is to prevent acciden-

tal inflation of the supplemental air bags or

damage to the supplemental air bag systems.

Do not make unauthorised changes to your

vehicle's electrical system, suspension sys-

tem or front end structure. This could affect

proper operation of the supplemental air bag

systems.

•

Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-

tems may result in serious personal injury.

Tampering includes changes to the steering

wheel by placing materials over the steering

wheel pad and above, and by installing addi-

tional trim materials around the supplemen-

tal air bag systems.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem on the front passenger seat without first

deactivating the passenger air bag with the

front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),

see “Front passenger air bag switch (where

fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-

sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-

flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-

tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure

or kill your child.

The supplemental front-impact air bag system is

designed to inflate in higher severity frontal colli-

sions, although it may inflate if the forces in another

type of collision are similar to those of a higher se-

verity frontal impact. It may not inflate in certain

frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not

always an indication of proper supplemental front-

impact air bag system operation.

SSS0676Z

When the air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be

heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke

is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. However,

care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause

irritation and choking. Occupants with a history of

breathing difficulties, such as asthma, should get

fresh air promptly.

WARNING

Never install a rear-facing child restraint system

on the front passenger seat without first deacti-

vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-

senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front

passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in

this section. In a frontal collision, supplemental

front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An

inflatingsupplementalfront-impactairbagcould

seriously injure or kill your child.

Supplemental air bags, along with the use of seat

belts, help to cushion the impact force on the chest

of the front occupants. Curtain air bags help to

cushion the impact force to the head of occupants

in the front and rear outer seating positions. They

can help save lives and reduce serious injuries. How-

ever, an inflating side air bag and curtain air bag

may cause abrasions or other injuries. Supplemen-

tal side air bags and curtain air bags do not provide

restraint to the lower body.
