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

Position the lap belt as low and snug as pos-

•

sible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap

belt worn too high could increase the risk of

internal injuries in an accident.

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 personal in-

jury.

structure of the body, and should be worn low

across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,

chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing

the lap section of the belt across the abdomi-

nal area must be avoided.

No modifications or additions should be made

by the user which will either prevent the seat

low on the hips. The booster seat should fit the ve-

hicle's seat. Once the child has grown so the shoul-

der belt is no longer on or near the face and neck,

use the shoulder belt without the booster seat.

•

CHILD SAFETY

Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner

seat belt system components should be done

by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

•

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

WARNING

NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your

passengers to buckle up every time you drive.

dent. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat

belt is not worn.

The driver seat is always considered occupied.
