mation, see ``Two buckle seat belt sys-
tem for the second row bench seat'' later

One of the seat belt tongues has two ``win-
dows'' (or holes) and the other has only one
``window''. The seat belt tongue with one
window attaches to the auxiliary buckle
mounted to the side of the seat. The seat
belt tongue with two windows should bepositioned properly and fastened to the
buckle mounted in the middle of the seat.
When the two buckle seat belt system is not
in use, the webbing can be secured with the
seat belt clip. The seat belt clip should not
be used with a child seat or during seat belt
usage. The seat belt clip opening should
face the front of the vehicle.
A twisted belt may prevent the retractor
from working properly. If the two buckle seat
belt system is twisted, disengage the single
window tongue from the auxiliary buckle on
the side of the seat, remove the twist and
reinstall the tongue into the auxiliary buckle
until you hear a snap and feel the latch
engage.
Both tongues must be attached to their
appropriate buckles whenever someone
is riding in that seating position. If the
tongue are released to allow a third row
passenger to enter or exit, the tongues
must be reattached.

When the two-passenger bench seat is re-
moved from the vehicle, you must detach
the single window tongue from the auxiliary
buckle.
When the three-passenger bench seat is
moved up to the second row position, the
passenger seated near the passenger
side sliding door needs to use the double
window tongue and the standard buckle
only. Because the three-passenger
bench seat is wider and closer to the
passenger side sliding door, the single
window seat belt tongue and the auxiliary
buckle are not necessary.
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.
