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 a locking mode re-
tractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.
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.

Occasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using a
vacuum cleaner or soft brush. Wipe the
vinyl and leather surfaces with a clean, soft
cloth dampened in mild soap solution, then
wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth. Before
using any fabric protector, read the manu-
facturer's recommendations. Some fabric
protectors contain chemicals that may stain
or bleach the seat material. Use a cloth
dampened only with water, to clean the
meter and gauge lens.
CAUTION
cNever use benzine, thinner, or any
similar material.
cLeather seats should be regularly
coated with a leather wax like saddle
soap. Never use car wax.
cNever use fabric protectors unless
recommended by the manufacturer.
cDo not use glass or plastic cleaner
on meter or gauge lens covers. It
may damage the lens cover.
FLOOR MATS
The use of genuine NISSAN floor mats can
extend the life of your vehicle carpet and
make it easier to clean the interior.No
matter what mats are used, be sure they
are fitted for your vehicle and are prop-
erly positioned in the footwell to prevent
interference with pedal operation.Mats
should be maintained with regular cleaning
and replaced if they become excessively
worn.
Front floor mat positioning aid
(Driver side only)
This model includes a front floor mat
bracket to act as a floor mat positioning aid.
NISSAN floor mats, specially designed for
your vehicle, incorporate grommets. To in-
stall, simply position the mat using the floor
mat bracket hook through the floor mat
grommet hole while centering the mat in the
footwell.
Periodically check to make certain the mat
is properly positioned.
SEAT BELTS
The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping
them with a sponge dampened in a mildsoap solution. Allow the belts to dry com-
pletely before using them.
WARNING
Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in
the retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye,
or chemical solvents to clean the seat
belts, since these may severely weaken
the seat belt webbing.
