Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be dan-
gerous. The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. In an accident you
could be thrown into it and receive neck
or other serious injuries. You could also
slide under the lap belt and receive se-
rious internal injuries.
For 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. See
ªSeat beltsº later in this section for pre-
cautions on seat belt usage.

Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the belt, press the button on the
buckle. The seat belt will automatically retract.Checking seat belt operationYour seat belt retractors are designed to lock
belt movement by two separate methods:
IWhen the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
IWhen the vehicle slows down rapidly.
You can check the operation as follows:
IGrasp the shoulder belt and pull quicklyforward. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check
or if you have any question about belt opera-
tion, see your NISSAN dealer.

buttons, then move the shoulder belt anchor to
