CAUTION
Third row passengers must be very
careful when exiting because of the
auxiliary seat belt. It is important to
step over the seat belt guide and belt
webbing to avoid tripping.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, press the button
on the buckle. The seat belt automatically
retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
(Three-point type seat belt with
retractor)
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement:
1) when the seat belt is pulled quickly from
the retractor, and
2) when the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat
belts, check their operation as follows.
cGrasp the shoulder belt and pull quickly
forward. The retractor should lock and
restrict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any questions about
seat belt operation, see an authorized NIS-
SAN dealer.
THREE PASSENGER BENCH
SEAT IN THE SECOND ROW
POSITION
Fastening the seat belts
When the three-passenger bench seat is
moved up to the second row position,
the passenger, on the passenger side,
only needs to use the double window
tongue and the standard buckle. Be-
cause the three-passenger bench seat is
wider and closer to the passenger side
sliding doors, the single window seat
belt tongue and the auxilliary buckle are
not necessary.
1. Adjust the seat.

After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted (for the passenger
side of the two-passenger bench seat, the
auxilliary buckle must also be released), the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) is canceled.REAR FACING INSTALLATION
AT SECOND AND THIRD ROW
OUTBOARD POSITIONS
The following instructions apply to second
row bucket seats, the second row bench
seat and the outboard positions of the three-
passenger bench seat.
WARNING
When installing a child restraint in the
two-passenger bench seat, if it is
placed in the seating position next to
the passenger side sliding door, be
sure both the auxiliary buckle and main
buckle are properly fastened. Failure to
do so could increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an accident.
WARNING
cThe three-point belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic lock-
ing mode retractor which must be
used when installing a child re-
straint.cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The seat
could tip over or otherwise be unse-
cured and cause injury to the child in
a sudden stop or collision.
