forward. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check
or if you have any questions about belt opera-
tion, see your NISSAN dealer.
Shoulder belt height adjustment
(For front seats)The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. (See
ªPrecautions on seat belt usageº earlier in this
section.) To adjust, squeeze the release but-
tons, 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 buttons to lock the shoulder belt
anchor into position.
IAfter adjustment, release the buttons
and try to move the shoulder belt
anchor up and down to make sure it
is securely fixed in position.
IThe shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
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.
