should remove or install them.
cDo not sit in seats that have been
removed from the vehicle. They may
tip over and you could be injured.
1. Detach the single window seat belt
tongue from the auxiliary buckle mounted
to the side of the seat and store the
tongue out of the way. For detailed infor-
mation, see ``Two buckle seat belt sys-
tem for the second row bench seat'' later
in this section.
2. Lift up the recliner lever.
3. Fold the seatback fully forward.
4. Unlock the seat legs at the two rear floor
latch levers by pulling up on the two
straps.
5. Lift the back of the seat.
6. Slide the seat rearward off the front an-
chor positions.
Installing the second row bench
seat
Clean the area around the seat leg floor
anchors before installing the seat.
1. With the seatback fully folded, place the
seat behind the floor anchors and catch
the seat leg hooks into each floor anchor.
2. Push down on the back of the seat to
secure the two rear floor latches.
3. Lift up the recliner lever and raise the
seatback.
4. Rock the seat back and forth to be sureall four seat legs are securely latched.
5. Insert the single window seat belt tongue
into the auxiliary buckle mounted to the
side of the seat.

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
tongues 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.

1. Adjust the seat.2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac-
tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.3. Position the passenger side shoulder belt
in the shoulder belt retainer.

INSTALLATION ON SECOND
AND THIRD ROW OUTBOARD
POSITIONS
Front facing
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 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 re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.
When you install a child restraint in a sec-
ond row bucket seat, the second row bench
seat or the outboard positions of the three-
passenger bench seat follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the restraint manufactur-
er's instructions.

5. Before placing the child in the child re-
straint, use force to tilt the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to
make sure it is securely held in place.
6. Check that the retractor is in the auto-
matic locking mode by trying to pull more
seat belt out of the retractor. If you can-
not pull any more belt webbing out of the
retractor, the seat belt is in the automatic
locking mode.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
belt is not locked, repeat steps three
through six.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.
