SEAT BELTS

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly

adjusted, 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 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 in-

cludes a supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian pro-

vinces or territories specify that seat

belts be worn at all times when a

vehicle is being driven.

.

Be sure the seat belt tongue is

securely fastened to the proper

buckle.

Do not wear the seat belt inside

out or twisted. Doing so may

reduce its effectiveness.

WARNING

.

Every person who drives or rides

in this vehicle should use a seat

belt at all times. Children should

be properly restrained in the rear

seat and, if appropriate, in a child

restraint.

The seat belt should be properly

adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to

do so may reduce the effective-

ness of the entire restraint sys-

tem and increase the chance or

severity of injury in an accident.

Serious injury or death can occur

if the seat belt is not worn prop-

erly.

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.

.

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 continuously 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 recom-

mended you visit a NISSAN dealer

for this service.

No changes should be made to

the seat belt system. For exam-

ple, 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 tam-

pering with the seat belt system

may result in serious personal

injury.

Once a seat belt pretensioner has

activated, it cannot be reused and

must be replaced together with

the retractor. It is recommended

you visit a NISSAN dealer for this

service.

.

All seat belt assemblies, including

retractors and attaching hard-

ware, should be inspected after

any collision. It is recommended

you visit a NISSAN dealer for this

service. 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 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

hardware should be inspected

after any collision. Always follow

the restraint manufacturer’s in-

spection instructions and repla-

cement recommendations. The

child restraints should be re-

placed if they are damaged.

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 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 re-

ceive neck or other serious inju-

ries. You could also slide under

the lap belt and receive serious

internal injuries.

A child restraint or other object press-

ing against the rear of the seatback.

PREGNANT WOMEN

NISSAN recommends that pregnant wo-

men 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.

Fastening the seat belts

1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” (P.1-3).)

INJURED PERSONS

NISSAN recommends that injured persons

use seat belts, depending on the injury.

Check with your doctor for specific re-

commendations.

.

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 posi-

tions are equipped with Auto-

matic Locking Retractor (ALR)

mode seat belts. If the seat belt

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-15

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” (P.1-21).

The ALR mode should be used only for

child restraint installation. During nor-

mal seat belt use by an occupant, the

ALR mode should not be activated. If it

is activated, it may cause uncomforta-

ble seat belt tension.

in the seat.

WARNING

The three-point seat belts in the front

passenger seat and the rear seating

positions have two modes of operation:

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

mode allows the seat belt to extend and

retract to allow the driver and passengers

some freedom of movement in the seat.

When fastening the seat belts, be

certain that seatbacks are comple-

tely secured in the latched position.

If they are not completely secured,

passengers may be injured in an

accident or sudden stop.

.

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.

Grasp the shoulder belt and pull for-

ward quickly. The retractor should

lock and restrict further belt move-

ment.

If the retractor does not lock during this

check, get the system checked. It is

Unfastening the seat belts

Shoulder belt height adjustment

(for front seats)

To unfasten the seat belt, push the

button on the buckle . The seat belt

automatically retracts.

The shoulder belt anchor height should

be adjusted to the position best for you.

(See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-

12).)

Checking seat belt operation

Seat belt retractors are designed to lock

seat belt movement by two separate

methods:

To adjust, pull the adjustment button

,

and then move the shoulder belt anchor

to the desired 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.

.

When the 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:

The range of height adjustment of the

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-17

shoulder belt may vary depending on the

model.

.

If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt

guide of the seat belt anchors, the

seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe the

shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry

cloth.

Periodically check to see that the

seat belt and the metal components,

such as buckles, tongues, retractors,

flexible wires and anchors, work prop-

erly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts

or other damage on the webbing is

found, the entire seat belt assembly

should be replaced.

WARNING

.

It is recommended that only

NISSAN seat belt extenders, made

by the same company which

made the original equipment seat

belts, be used with NISSAN seat

belts.

Adults and children who can use

the standard seat belt should not

use an extender. Such unneces-

sary use could result in serious

personal injury in the event of an

accident.

Never use seat belt extenders to

install child restraints. If the child

restraint is not secured properly,

the child could be seriously in-

jured or killed in a collision or a

sudden stop.

WARNING

.

After adjustment, release the ad-

justment button and try to move

the shoulder belt anchor up and

down to make sure it is securely

fixed in position.

The shoulder belt anchor height

should be adjusted to the posi-

tion 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 accident.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

If, because of body size or driving position,

it is not possible to properly fit the lap/

shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender

that is compatible with the installed seat

belts is available that can be purchased.

The extender adds approximately 8 in

(200 mm) of length and may be used for

either the driver or front passenger seat-

ing position. It is recommended you visit a

NISSAN dealer for assistance with pur-

chasing an extender if an extender is

required.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

.

To clean the seat belt webbing, apply

a mild soap solution or any solution

recommended for cleaning upholstery

or carpets. Then wipe with a cloth and

allow the seat belts to dry in the

shade. Do not allow the seat belts to

retract until they are completely dry.
