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.

WARNING:

.

Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle

with the seatback reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be

properly against the body. In an accident,

you and your passengers could be

thrown into the shoulder belt and receive

neck or other serious injuries. You and

your passengers could also slide under

the lap belt and receive serious injuries.

For the most effective protection while

the vehicle is in motion, the seatback

should be upright. Always sit well back

and upright in the seat and adjust the

seat belt properly. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-

10).)

Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly acti-

vate switches or controls. Unattended

children could become involved in ser-

ious accidents.

To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the

vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave

WARNING:

ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINT

Head restraints supplement the other vehicle

safety systems. They may provide additional

protection against injury in certain rear end

collisions. Adjustable head restraints must be

adjusted properly, as specified in this section.

Check the adjustment after 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 seating position. Failure to follow

SEAT BELTS

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE

If you are wearing 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

1-10 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING:

.

Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the

bony structure of the body, and should be

worn low across the front of the pelvis or

the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applic-

able; wearing the lap section of the belt

across the abdominal area must be

avoided. Serious injury may occur if a

seat belt is not worn properly.

.

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. 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.

SSS0134A

SSS0136A

SSS0016

.

Never carry more people in the vehicle

than there are seat belts.

Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts

should not be worn with straps twisted.

Doing so may reduce their effectiveness.

Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly as

possible, consistent with comfort, to pro-

vide 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

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 system.

Do not put the belt behind your back or

under your arm. Always route the

shoulder belt over your shoulder and

across your chest. The belt should be

WARNING:

properly.

WARNING:

.

Never allow children to stand or kneel on

any seats.

Never allow children in the cargo areas

while the vehicle is moving. A child could

be seriously injured in an accident or

sudden stop.

.

No modifications or additions should be

made by the user which will either pre-

vent the seat belt adjusting devices from

operating to remove slack, or prevent the

seat belt assembly from being adjusted

to remove slack.

Care should be taken to avoid contam-

ination of the webbing with polishes, oils

and chemicals, 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.

.

Infants and children need special protec-

tion. 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

hipbones. In an accident, an improperly

fitted seat belt could cause serious or

fatal injury.

Children who are too large for a child restraint

system should be seated and restrained by the

seat belts that are provided.

.

Always use an appropriate child restraint

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 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 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 children that should be used for

maximum protection.

system.

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained. The

proper restraint depends on the child’s size.

.

All seat belt assemblies including retrac-

tors and attaching hardware should be

inspected after any collision by a NISSAN

dealer. 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

Infants and small children

belt assemblies not in use during

a

collision should also be inspected and,

It is essential to replace the entire as-

sembly after it has been worn in a severe

impact even if damage to the assembly is

not obvious.

Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has

activated, it cannot be reused. It must

be replaced together with the retractor.

Contact a NISSAN dealer.

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 abdominal area. Contact your

doctor for specific recommendations.

SSS0099

NISSAN recommends that infants and small

children be seated in a child restraint system.

You should choose a child restraint system that

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

Periodically check that the seat belt and all the

metal components, such as buckles, tongues,

retractors, flexible wires and anchors, work

properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts or

other damage on the seat belt webbing is

found, the entire seat belt assembly should be

accident.

.

If the seat belt in the position where a

child restraint is installed requires a lock-

ing device and if it is not used, injuries

could result from a child restraint tipping

over during normal vehicle braking or

cornering.

If you install a child restraint system on

the rear seat, move the rear seat to the

rearmost position (for models with slid-

ing seats).

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINT

USAGE

.

Follow all of the child restraint manufac-

turer’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 re-

straint in your vehicle.

The direction of the child restraint, either

front-facing or rear-facing, depends on

the type of the child restraint and the size

of the child. Refer to the child restraint

manufacturer’s instructions for details.

CAUTION:

Remember that a child restraint system left

in a closed vehicle can become very hot.

Check the seating surface and buckles before

placing your child in a child restraint.

SSS0099

.

Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-

tioned to ensure full contact between

child restraint and seatback.

WARNING:

NISSAN recommends that infants and small

children be seated in a child restraint. You

should choose a child restraint that fits your

vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s

instructions for installation and use. In addition,

there are many types of child restraints avail-

able for larger children that should be used for

maximum protection.

After attaching a child restraint, 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 restraint 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.

When the child restraint 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.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint

on the front passenger’s seat when the

front passenger’s air bag is available.

Supplemental front-impact air bags in-

flate with great force. A rear-facing child

restraint could be struck by the supple-

mental front-impact air bags in an acci-

dent and could seriously injure or kill your

child.

.

Infants and small children should always

be placed in an appropriate child re-

straint while riding in the vehicle. Failure

to use

a child restraint can result in

serious injury or death.

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 severe accident. The child

.

could be crushed between the adult and

parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the

same seat belt around both your child

and yourself.

.

NISSAN recommends that the child re-

straints be installed in the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seat than in the front seat.

Improper use or improper installation of

a child restraint can increase the risk or

severity of injury for both the child and

other occupants of the vehicle and can

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (for

second row seats)

ISOFIX lower anchor point locations

SSS0644

The ISOFIX anchor points are provided to install

child restraints in the second row outboard

seating positions only. Do not attempt to

install a child restraint in the center seating

position using the ISOFIX anchors.

Anchor attachment

ISOFIX child restraints include two rigid attach-

ments that can be connected to two anchors

located in the seat. With this system, you do not

have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the

child restraint. 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 manufacturer.

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 “Child

restraint installation using ISOFIX” (P.1-21).)

JVR0351X

ISOFIX label location

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor

points that are used with ISOFIX child restraint

systems.

SSS0637

ISOFIX lower anchor location

The ISOFIX anchors are located at the rear of

the seat cushion near the seatback. A label is

attached to the seatback to help you locate the

ISOFIX anchors.

CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE (for

second row seats)

Anchorage location

Your vehicle is designed to accommodate a

child restraint system on the second row seat.

When installing a child restraint system, care-

fully read and follow the instructions in this

manual and those supplied with the child

restraint system.

WARNING:

JVR0448X

.

Child restraint anchorages are designed

to withstand only those loads imposed

by correctly fitted child restraints. Under

no circumstances are they to be used for

adult seat belts, harnesses or for attach-

ing other items or equipment to the

vehicle. Doing so could damage 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.

Type B (example)

Anchorages are located as illustrated.

Position the top tether strap over the top of the

seatback and secure it to the tether anchorage

that provides the straightest installation. Tight-

en the tether strap according to the manufac-

turer’s instruction to remove any slack.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING

ISOFIX

.

The child restraint top tether strap may

be damaged by contact with the tonneau

cover (if equipped) or items in the lug-

gage area. Remove the tonneau cover

from the vehicle or secure it and any

luggage. 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

specified locations. For the ISOFIX lower

anchor locations, see “ISOFIX child re-

straint system (for second row seats)”

(P.1-20). If a child restraint is not secured

properly, your child could be seriously

injured or killed in an accident.

JVR0447X

Type A

.

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.

Do not secure a child restraint in the

center rear seating position using the

ISOFIX lower anchors. The child restraint

will not be secured properly.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-21

.

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 anchors

are obstructed.

Child restraint anchorages are designed

to withstand only those loads imposed

by correctly fitted child restraints. Under

no circumstance are they to be used for

adult seat belts, harnesses or for attach-

ing other items or equipment to the

vehicle. Doing so could damage 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.

Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for the proper use of your child restraint.

Follow these steps to install a front-facing child

restraint on the second row outboard seats

This system can help cushion the impact force

to the head of the driver and passengers in

front and rear outboard seating positions in

certain side-impact or rollover collisions. In a

side-impact, the supplemental curtain side-

impact and rollover air bag is designed to

inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-

pacted. In a rollover, the supplemental curtain

side-impact and rollover air bags on both sides

are designed to inflate. Under the both side-

impact and rollover situations, the supplemen-

tal curtain side-impact and rollover air bags will

remain inflated for a short period of time.

When the ignition switch is in the “ON”

position, the SRS air bag warning light

illuminates for about 7 seconds and then

turns off. This indicates that the SRS air bag

system is operational. (See “SRS air bag

warning light” (P.1-36).)

Supplemental side-impact air bag sys-

tem (if equipped)

This system can help cushion the impact force

to the chest area of the driver and front

passenger in certain side-impact collisions.

The supplemental side-impact air bag is de-

signed to inflate on the side where the vehicle

is impacted.

The SRS is designed to supplement the acci-

dent protection provided by the driver’s and

passenger’s seat belts and is not designed to

substitute for them. The SRS can help save

lives and reduce serious injuries. However,

inflating air bags may cause abrasions or other

injuries. Air bags do not provide protection to

the lower body. Seat belts should always be

correctly worn and the occupants should al-

ways be seated a suitable distance away from

the steering wheel and instrument panel. (See

“Seat belts” (P.1-10).) The air bags inflate quickly

in order to help protect the occupants. The

force of the air bags inflating can increase the

risk of injury if the occupants are too close to,

Observe the following precautions for a

model with Advanced Air Bag System:

— The front passenger air bag will not

inflate if the front passenger air bag

status light is lit.

— The driver and front passenger seat

belt buckles are equipped with sen-

sors that detect if the seat belts are

fastened. The advanced air bag sys-

tem monitors the severity of a colli-

sion and seat belt usage then inflates

the air bags. Failure to properly wear

seat belts can increase the risk or

severity of injury in an accident.

— The front passenger seat is equipped

with occupant classification sensors

(weight sensors) that turn the front

passenger air bag OFF under some

conditions. These sensors are only

used in this seat. Failure to be prop-

erly seated and wearing the seat belt

position in any way, you and your pas-

sengers are at greater risk of injury or

death in an accident. You and your

passengers 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 or instrument

panel. Always use the seat belts.

Keep hands on the outside of the steering

wheel. Placing them inside the steering

wheel rim could increase the risk of injury

if the supplemental front air bag inflates.

WARNING:

.

The supplemental front-impact air bags

ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a

side impact, rear impact, rollover, or low-

er severity frontal collision. Always wear

the seat belts to help reduce the risk or

severity of injury in accidents.

The seat belts and the supplemental

front-impact air bags are most effective

when you are sitting well back and up-

The pre-tensioner seat belt system activates in

conjunction with the supplemental front-im-

pact air bag. Working with the seat belt

retractor and anchor, it helps tighten the seat

belt the instant the vehicle becomes involved in

certain types of collisions, helping to restrain

front seat occupants. (See “Pre-tensioner seat

WARNING:

This vehicle is equipped with Advanced Air Bag

System for the driver and front passenger

seats. The driver’s supplemental front-impact

air bag is located at the center of the steering

wheel. The passenger’s supplemental front-

impact air bag is located at the instrument

panel above the glove box.

The supplemental front-impact air bag system

is designed to inflate in higher severity frontal

collisions, although it may inflate if the forces in

another type of collision are similar to those of

a higher severity frontal impact. It may not

inflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle

damage (or lack of it) is not always an indica-

tion of proper supplemental front-impact air

bag system operation.

The Advanced Air Bag System has dual stage

air bag inflators. The system monitors informa-

tion from the crash zone sensor, the Air bag

Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle sensors and

the occupant classification sensors (weight

sensors). Inflator operation is based on the

severity of a collision and seat belt usage for

the driver. For the front passenger, the occu-

pant classification sensors are also monitored.

Based on information from the sensors, only

To ensure proper operation of the passen-

ger’s Advanced Air Bag System, observe the

following items.

.

Do not allow a passenger in the rear seat

to push or pull on the seatback pocket.

Do not place heavy loads heavier than 4

kg (9.1 lbs) on the seatback, head re-

straint or in the seatback pocket.

.

Do not store luggage behind the seat that

can press into the seatback.

Be sure that the front passenger seat

does not contact the rear seat, instru-

ment panel, etc., or the head restraint

does not contact the roof.

.

Confirm the operating condition with the

front passenger air bag status light.

If you notice that the front passenger air

one front air bag may inflate in

a crash,

depending on the crash severity and whether

the front occupants are belted or unbelted.

Additionally, the front passenger’s air bag may

be automatically turned OFF under some con-

ditions, depending on the information provided

by the occupant classification sensors. If the

front passenger air bag is OFF, the front

passenger air bag status light will be illumi-

nated. One front air bag inflating does not

indicate improper performance of the system. If

you have any questions about the performance

of your air bag system, please contact NISSAN

or a NISSAN dealer.

Supplemental front air bags, along with the use

of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force

on the head and chest of the front occupants.

They can help save lives and reduce serious

injuries. However, an inflating front air bag may

cause facial abrasions or other injuries. Front

air bags do not provide restraint to the lower

body.

Even with Advanced Air Bag System, seat belts

should be correctly worn and the driver and

passenger seated upright as far as practical

away from the steering wheel or instrument

panel. The supplemental front-impact air bags

inflate quickly in order to help protect the front

occupants. Because of this, the force of the

front air bag inflating can increase the risk of

injury if the occupant is too close to, or is

against, the air bag module during inflation.

The air bag will deflate quickly after a collision.

OFF. For small adults, it may be turned OFF,

however, if the occupant does not sit on the

seat properly (for example, by not sitting up-

right, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by

otherwise being out of position), this could

cause the sensors to turn the air bag OFF.

a

crash. However, heavy objects

placed on the seat could result in air bag

inflation, because of the object being detected

by the occupant classification sensors. Other

conditions could also result in air bag inflation,

such as if a child is standing on the seat, or if

two children are on the seat, contrary to the

instructions in this manual. Always be sure that

you and all vehicle occupants are seated and

restrained properly.

Front passenger air bag:

Using the front passenger air bag status light,

you can monitor when the front passenger air

bag is automatically turned OFF.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but the front

passenger air bag status light is illuminated

(indicating that the air bag is OFF), it could be

that the person is a small adult, or is not sitting

on the seat properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front

seat, the front passenger air bag status light

may or may not be illuminated, depending on

the size of the child and the type of child

restraint being used. If the air bag status light is

not illuminated (indicating that the air bag

might inflate in a crash), it could be that the

child restraint or seat belt is not being used

properly. Make sure that the child restraint is

installed properly, the seat belt is used properly

and the occupant is positioned properly. If the

air bag status light is still not illuminated,

reposition the occupant or child restraint in a

rear seat.

The front passenger air bag is designed to

automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is

operated under some conditions as described

below. If the front passenger air bag is OFF, it

will not inflate in a crash. The driver’s air bag

and other air bags in your vehicle are not part

of this system.

The purpose of this system is to help reduce

the risk of injury or death from an inflating air

bag to certain front passenger seat occupants,

such as children, by requiring the air bag to be

automatically turned OFF.

The occupant classification sensors (weight

sensors) are on the seat frame under the front

passenger’s seat and are designed to detect an

occupant and objects on the seat. For example,

if a child is in the front passenger seat, the

Advanced Air Bag System is designed to turn

the front passenger air bag OFF. Also, if a child

restraint is on the seat, the occupant classifica-

tion sensors can detect it and cause the air bag

to turn OFF.

NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil-

dren be properly restrained in

a rear seat.

NISSAN also recommends that appropriate

child restraints and booster seats be properly

installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the

occupant classification sensors are designed to

operate as described above to turn the front

passenger’s air bag OFF for specified child

restraints. Failing to properly secure child

restrains and to use the automatic locking

mode (child restraint mode) (if equipped) may

allow the restraint to tip or move in an accident

or sudden stop. This can also result in the

passenger’s air bag inflating in a crash instead

of being OFF. (See “Child restraints” (P.1-15) for

proper use and installation.)

If the front passenger’s seat is not occupied,

the passenger’s air bag is designed not to

SRS AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CONDI-

TIONS

The SRS air bags activate in the event of a front

or side impact in which the vehicle occupants

may be severely injured even if they are

wearing the seat belts properly.

They may not activate when the crash energy

is absorbed and/or distributed by the vehicle

body. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not

always an indication of proper SRS air bag

system operation.

Work around or on the pre-tensioner seat

belt system should be done by a NISSAN

dealer. The SRS wiring should not be

modified or disconnected. Unauthorized

electrical test equipment and probing

devices should not be used on the pre-

tensioner seat belt system.

If you need to dispose of the pre-ten-

sioner seat belt system, or scrap the

vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Correct

pre-tensioner disposal procedures are

set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Ser-

vice Manual. Incorrect disposal proce-

dures could cause personal injury.

the vehicle, contact

a NISSAN dealer.

Correct disposal procedures are set forth

in the appropriate NISSAN Service Man-

ual. Incorrect disposal procedures could

cause personal injury.

The air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts are

designed to activate on a one-time-only basis.

As a reminder, unless the SRS air bag warning

light is damaged, the SRS air bag warning light

remains illuminated after inflation has oc-

curred. The repair and replacement of the SRS

should be done only by a NISSAN dealer.

When maintenance work is required on the

vehicle, information about the air bags, pre-

tensioner seat belts and related parts should

be pointed out to the person performing the

maintenance. The ignition switch should al-

ways be in the “LOCK” position when working

under the hood or inside the vehicle.

JVR0160X

The pre-tensioner is encased with the front

seat belt’s retractor and anchor. These seat

belts are used the same as conventional seat

belts.

When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, a

fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by the

release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful

and does not indicate a fire. Care should be

taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation

and choking. Those with a history of a breath-

ing condition should get fresh air promptly.

PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT SYSTEM

WARNING:

.

The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be

reused after activation. It must be re-

placed together with the retractor and

buckle as a unit.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PROCE-

DURE

If the vehicle becomes involved in

a

collision but the pre-tensioner is not

activated, be sure to have the pre-ten-

sioner system checked and, if necessary,

replaced by a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING:

.

Once the air bags have been inflated, the

air bag modules will not function and

must be replaced. The air bag modules

must be replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The

inflated air bag modules cannot be re-

paired.

The air bag systems should be inspected

by a NISSAN dealer if there is any damage

to the front end portion of the vehicle.

.

No unauthorized 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 system.
