tip over and you could be injured.
1. Detach the single window seat belt
tongue from the auxiliary buckle mounted

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

chor positions.
Installing the second row bench

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.

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.

Security indicator light
This light will illuminate for the vehicle secu-
rity system.
This light blinks whenever the ignition
switch is in the LOCK, OFF, or ACC posi-
tion. This function indicates the security
system equipped on the vehicle is opera-
tional.
How to activate the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.(The system can be
activated even if the windows are
open).
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close all doors and the hood.
4. Push the
button on the multi-remote
controller. All doors lock. The hazard
lights flash twice and the horn beeps
once to indicate all doors are locked.
cWhen the
button is pushed with all
doors locked, the hazard lights flash
twice and the horn beeps once as a
reminder that the doors are already
locked.
The horn may or may not beep once.
Refer to ``silencing the horn beep fea-
ture'' later in this section for details.
5. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator
light comes on. The SECURITY light
glows for about 30 seconds and then
begins to flash once every three seconds.
The system is now activated. If, during
this 30-second time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the multi-remotecontroller, or the ignition key is turned to
ACC or ON, the system will not activate.
If the key is turned slowly when locking
the door, the system may not activate.
Furthermore, if the key is turned exces-
sively to the unlock position, the system
may be deactivated when the key is re-
moved. If the indicator light fails to glow
for 30 seconds, unlock the door once
and lock it again.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will acti-
vate with all doors, hood and rear door
closed with the ignition key in the OFF
position.

lowing alarm:
cThe headlights and tail lights flash and
the horn sounds intermittently. In addi-
tion, the starter motor does not operate.
cThe alarm automatically turns off after
two to three minutes. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by
unlocking a door with the key or by

luggage rack. Do not load more than 100
pounds (45 kg). Be careful that your vehicle
does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR front and rear). The GVWR
and GAWR are located on the Safety Com-
pliance Certification Label (located on the
driver's door pillar). For more information
regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to
``Technical and Consumer Information''.
The front and rear cross-bars can be adjustedforward and backward. Place your luggage
between the bars, adjust the bars, and secure
the luggage with rope to the bars. Always
check the tightness of the adjusting knobs.
There are also adjustable loops on the side
bars for the rope attachment.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing
items from the luggage rack. If you
cannot comfortably lift the items onto
the luggage rack from the ground, use
a ladder or stool.
