3. Position the lap belt portionlow on the
hipsas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack.
The front seat passenger side seat belt and
rear 3-point seat belts have a cinching
mechanism for child seat installation. It is
referred to as the automatic locking mode.
When the automatic locking mode is acti-
vated the seat belt cannot be withdrawn
again until the seat belt tongue is detached
from the buckle and fully retracted. Refer to
``Child Restraints for Infants and SmallChildren'' later in this section for more infor-
mation.
WARNING
The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child seat installation.
During normal seat belt use by a pas-
senger, the locking mode should not be
activated. If it is activated it may cause
uncomfortable seat belt tension.
Unfastening the belts
To unfasten the belt, press the button on the
buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Shoulder belt height adjustment
The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. (See
``Precautions on Seat Belt Usage''.) To ad-
just, press the release button and move it to
the desired position so 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.

5. Before placing the child in the child re-
straint, use force to tilt the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to
make sure it is securely held in place.
6. Check that the retractor is in the auto-
matic locking mode by trying to pull more
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull
any more belt webbing out of the retrac-
tor, the belt is in the automatic locking
mode.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
lap belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is allowed to wind back into the
retractor, the automatic locking mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled; the seat belt
may be used as normal and will only lock
during a sudden stop or impact.INTEGRATED CHILD SAFETY
SEATS (If so equipped)
WARNING
cFailure to follow the instructions for
the use of these integrated child
safety seats can result in your child
striking vehicle's interior during a
sudden stop or crash, causing the
injury or death of your child.
cImproper use of a child restraint can
increase the risk or severity of injury
for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle.
cAll U.S. states and provinces of
Canada require that infants and
small children be restrained in ap-
proved child restraints at all times
while the vehicle is being operated.
The optional second row bench seat con-
tains two integrated child safety seats.
These seats are designed for use only by
children who weigh between 22 and 60
pounds (10-27 kg) and whose height is 45
inches (1145 mm) or less and who are
capable of sitting upright alone.In addition, these integrated child safety
seats must only be used by children who
meet the following requirements:
cAGE:
At least one year old
cSEATED HEIGHT:
Top of child's shoulders must be below
the shoulder harness openings of the
integrated child seat.
Children smaller than these requirements
should be restrained in an appropriate
separate child restraint. Children larger than
these requirements should also be re-
strained in an appropriate separate child
restraint or in the appropriate vehicle seat
belt system. Refer to ``Child Restraints for
Infants and Small Children'' and ``Precau-
tions On Seat Belt Usage'' in this chapter for
important child safety information.

Securing the Child
The following steps apply to both the left
and right integrated child safety seats.
1. Be sure your child meets all of the re-
quired age, weight and height require-
ments for the safe use of the integrated
child safety seat.
2. Be sure the second row bench seat is
securely latched to the floor of the ve-
hicle. Refer to the ``FLEXIBLE SEAT-
ING'' section in this chapter for proper
seat installation procedures.
3. Be sure the second row bench seatback
is locked by grasping it and trying to rock
it back and forth. Also, check that the
seatback release lever is in the full down
position.4. Pull the cushion release strap and lower
the intregrated child safety seat cushion
completely.

With the engine running, check the distance
between the upper surface of the pedal and
the floor. If it is out of the range shown
above, see your NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
See your NISSAN dealer and have it
checked if the brake pedal height does
not return to normal.
SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKES
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.
The front disc-type brakes self-adjust every
time the brake pedal is applied. The rear
drum-type brakes also self-adjust every
time the brake pedal is applied. If the brake
pedal goes down farther than normal, see
your NISSAN dealer.
Brake pad wear indicators
The disc pads on your vehicle have audible
wear indicators. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it makes a high pitched scrap-
ing or screeching sound when the vehicle is
in motion whether or not the brake pedal is
depressed. Have the brakes checked as
soon as possible if the wear indicator sound
is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions,
occasional brake squeak, squeal or other
noise may be heard. Occasional brake
noise during light to moderate stops is nor-
mal and does not affect the function or
performance of the brake system.
The rear drum brakes (if so equipped) do
not have audible wear indicators. ShouldADI0062ADI0027

you ever hear an unusually loud noise from
the rear drum brakes, have them inspected
as soon as possible by your NISSAN
dealer.
Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed.For more information regard-
ing brake inspections, see the appropriate
maintenance schedule information in the
``Maintenance Schedule'' section of this
manual.Check the brake booster function as fol-
lows:
1. With the engine off, press and release
the brake pedal several times. When
brake pedal movement (distance of
travel) remains the same from one pedal
application to the next, continue on to the
next step.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, start
the engine. The pedal height should drop
a little.
3. With the brake pedal depressed, turn the
engine off. Keep the pedal depressed for
about 30 seconds; the pedal height
should not change.
4. Run the engine for one minute without
depressing the brake pedal, then turn it
off. Depress the brake pedal several
times. The pedal travel distance will de-
crease gradually with each depression
as the vacuum is released from the
booster.
If the brakes do not operate properly, see
your NISSAN dealer.
Engine compartment (headlight
fuses)
If a headlight does not come on, check for
an open fuse:
The left headlight (driver's side) fuse is
located in the left-hand fuse box, near the
radiator cap.
The right headlight (passenger side) fuse is
located in the right-hand fuse box, found in
the right-front corner of the engine compart-
ment.

Tire wear and damage
WARNING
cTires should be periodically in-
spected for wear, cracking, bulging,
or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging, or
deep cuts are found, the tire should
be replaced.
cThe original tires have a built-in
tread wear indicator. When the wear
indicator is visible, the tire should be
replaced.cImproper service for a T-type spare
tire may result in serious personal
injury. If it is necessary to repair the
T-type spare tire, contact your NIS-
SAN dealer.
Changing tires and wheels
When replacing a tire, use the same size,
speed rating and load carrying capacity as
originally equipped. Recommended types
and sizes are shown in ``Wheels and tires''
in the ``Technical and consumer informa-
tion'' section. The use of tires other than
those recommended or the mixed use of
tires of different brands, construction (bias,
bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns can
adversely affect the ride, braking, handling,
ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance,
snow chain clearance, speedometer cali-
bration, headlight aim and bumper height.
Some of these effects may lead to acci-
dents and could result in serious per-
sonal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason,
always replace with wheels which have the
same offset dimension. Wheels of a differ-
ent offset could cause early tire wear, pos-
sibly degraded vehicle handling character-istics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or early
brake pad/shoe wear.
WARNING
Do not install a deformed wheel or tire
even if it has been repaired. Such
wheels or tires could have structural
damage and could fail without warning.
Wheel balance
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle han-
dling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be performed
with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balanc-
ing the front wheels on the vehicle could
lead to transmission damage.
Care of wheels
cWash the wheels when washing the ve-
hicle to maintain their appearance.
cClean the inner side of the wheels when
the wheel is changed or the underside of
the vehicle is washed.
