der harness to retract over the right
shoulder and securely restrain the child.
A clicking sound is heard as the har-
ness retracts, indicating that the retrac-
tor is in the automatic locking mode. Be
sure the left shoulder harness is also
properly positioned over the child's left
shoulder.
11. Check that the shoulder harness is in
the automatic locking mode by trying to
pull the shoulder harness out of the
retractor. If you cannot pull any of the
shoulder harness webbing out of the
retractor, the shoulder harness is in the
automatic locking mode. If the shoulder
harness is not locked, repeat step 10. If,
after repeated attempts, the integrated
child safety seat shoulder harness can-
not be placed in the automatic locking
mode, do not use the integrated child
safety seat and have it inspected by an
authorized NISSAN dealer.
To cancel the automatic locking mode, un-
buckle the chest clip and both shoulder
harness tongues. Allow the shoulder har-
nesses to retract completely. The automatic
locking mode is now canceled and theshoulder harness retractor is in the emer-
gency locking mode.
WARNING
The automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode) must be reactivated each
time you place a child in the integrated
child safety seats.
In addition to the automatic locking retrac-
tors, the integrated child safety seat shoul-
der harnesses are equipped with emer-
gency locking retractors. The automatic
locking mode is best to use, especially for
children who need help staying properly
positioned in the seat and its harnesses (for
example, children who are younger and
smaller), because the belts are always
locked. In the emergency locking mode, the
shoulder belts only lock in a sudden stop or
accident, allowing a child more freedom of
movement. Use the emergency locking
mode only if you judge your child able to
remain properly positioned in the integrated
child safety seat.
Removing the child
1. Release the chest clip.
2. Release the left and right shoulder har-ness tongues from the belt buckle by
pressing the red belt buckle button.
3. Move the left and right shoulder har-
nesses aside and assist the child from
the integrated child safety seat.
Storing the Integrated Child Safety
Seat
1. Be sure the shoulder harnesses are fully
retracted and resting inside the inte-
grated child safety seat recess. It is not
necessary to reconnect the shoulder har-
nesses and belt buckle prior to storing
the integrated child safety seat.
2. While holding onto, but not pulling, the
cushion release strap, rotate the cushion
upward until it fits flush with the second
row seat back cushion and locks into
position.
3. Be sure the integrated child safety seat is
locked in the stowed position by grasping
the safety seat cushion and attempting to
lower it without pulling the cushion re-
lease strap. If the integrated child safety
seat is not locked in the stowed position,
repeat steps one through three.

SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
Many different arrangements for passenger
seating or cargo hauling are available as
you will see in the following illustrations. The
second row seats may be removed and the
third row seat may be moved forward to the
second row seating position. The second
and third row seats have an optional fold-
down table-top feature. This offers a variety
of uses for the vehicle when moving or
stopped.
The illustrations shown reflect the different
seating positions available.
Before you begin to arrange the seats in
your vehicle, read all of the cautions and
warnings in this chapter, including the
following section on the removable floor
mats. Also observe any labels that are in
the vehicle.
WARNING
cWhile the vehicle is in motion, pas-
sengers should always be seated in
a forward facing direction in a seat
which is properly secured and ad-
justed. Seat belts should always be
used. Sitting without a seat belt in a
seat that is not properly secured in
one of the locations shown in this
chapter, or in a place without a seat
and seat belt can result in personal
injury in a sudden stop or collision.
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 the 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.cIt is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these ar-
eas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
cDo not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
cBe sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt prop-
erly.
cDo not place hard items such as
coffee mugs or drinking glasses on
the tabletop seats when the vehicle
is moving. Any item can become a
projectile inside a vehicle involved in
a collision. To help prevent personal
injury, never leave loose items on
the fold-down tabletop seats when
the vehicle is moving.
SEATS/FLOOR MATS
1-68Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems
ZX

FLOOR MAT POSITIONING AID
Positioning pins are attached to three of the
floor mats. The cargo mat and front mats do
not have pins. However, the driver's front
floor mat has a grommet which is placedover the floor mat positioning bracket lo-
cated at the base of the driver's seat.
Push the positioning pins into the seat
tracks to ensure correct installation, then
straighten the mats as necessary.
The step mat has holes in addition to pins.
When the mats are arranged properly, the
positioning pins of the two mats on either
side of the step mat should fit through the
holes in the step mat and into the seat track.
WARNING
cNo occupant should ride in a vehicle
seat unless it is in a normal riding
arrangement and the seat belts are
properly used.
cIt is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these ar-
eas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
cProperly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.cDo not allow people to ride in any
area of the vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
cBe sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and is using a seat belt
properly.
cFailure to follow proper seating in-
structions in this section could re-
sult in serious personal injury in an
accident or during a sudden stop.

section of this manual for precautions on
seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag
warning light
When the ignition key is in the ON or START
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then
turns off. This means the Air Bag Supple-
mental Restraint System is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental air bag system needs servic-
ing and your vehicle should be taken to an
authorized NISSAN dealer:
1. The supplemental air bag warning light

spected by an authorized NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.cMalfunction indicator light blinking - An
engine misfire has been detected which
may damage the emission control sys-
tem. To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage:
a) do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
b) avoid hard acceleration or decelera-
tion.
c) avoid steep uphill grades.
d) if possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and come on steady. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your ve-
hicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.

The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver provides a convenient way to consoli-
date the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in de-
vice.
cThe Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver will operate garage doors,
gates, home/office lighting systems and
security systems by storing and transmit-
ting the programming information of your
current hand-held transmitters.
c
The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver is built-in and powered by
your vehicle's battery and charging sys-
tem. No separate batteries are necessary.
WARNING
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object
in the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse thedoor, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
PROGRAMMING THE HomeLinkT
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
WARNING
During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
