cBe sure the seat belt tongue is se-
curely fastened to the proper buckle.
cDo not wear the belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
cDo not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
cNever carry more people in the ve-
hicle than there are seat belts.cIf the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ON with all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may indi-
cate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by your
NISSAN dealer.
cAll seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected at your NISSAN
dealer after any collision. NISSAN
recommends that all seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no dam-
ageand continue to operate prop-
erly. Seat belt assemblies not in use
during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is
noted.
CHILD SAFETY
Children need adults to help protect
them.
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. 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.
All U.S. states and provinces of Canada
require the use of approved child restraints
for infants and small children. (See ``Child
restraints for infants and small children''
later in this section.)
In addition, there are many types of child
restraints available for larger children which
should be used for maximum protection.
Infant or small child
NISSAN recommends that infants or small
children be placed in a child restraint that

Checking seat belt operation
(3-point type with retractor)
The second and third row seat belt retrac-
tors are designed to lock belt movement:
1) when the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor, and
2) when the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the belts,
check their operation. Grasp the shoulder
belt and pull quickly forward. The retractor
should lock and restrict further belt move-
ment.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any questions about
belt operation, see your NISSAN dealer.
THREE-PASSENGER BENCH
SEAT
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat.
WARNING
cDo 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 acci-
dent you could be thrown into it and
receive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under the
lap belt and receive serious internal
injuries.
cFor most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat
should be upright. Always sit well
back in the seat and adjust the seat
belt properly.
Third row passengers should be aware that
their shoulder belt is located slightly behind
the third row seating position. Never try to
use the seat belts for the second row pas-
sengers which are in front of the three-
passenger bench seat.

Using the Integrated Child Safety
Seats
WARNING:
cNever use the vehicle seat belts to
restrain a child in an integrated childsafety seat. Use only the shoulder-
harness and belt buckle which is
part of the integrated child safety
seat. Never use the integrated child
safety seat as a booster cushion
with the vehicle seat belts.cBefore placing the child in the inte-
grated child safety seat, confirm that
the bench seatback is securely
locked and the seatback release le-
ver is in full down position.
cAlways make sure the integrated
child safety seat belts are properly
positioned on your child. The child
should sit straight up and back
against the bench seat. The shoulder
harnesses should be centered over
the shoulders and fastened with the
chest clip. The belt buckle should be
between the legs and latched to the
shoulder belt tongue. Snugly adjust
the belts around your child. Failure
to properly position the child can
increase the risk or severity of injury
to the child in an accident.
CAUTION
Remember that the interior of a closed
vehicle can become very hot when left
in direct sunlight. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing
your child in the integrated child safety
seat.APD0855
