Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the belt, push the button on the
buckle. The seat belt will automatically retract.Checking seat belt operationYour seat belt retractors are designed to lock
belt movement using two separate methods:

when the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.

when the vehicle slows down rapidly.
You can check their operation as follows:

grasp the shoulder belt and pull quickly for-ward. 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 belt operation,
see a NISSAN dealer.
Shoulder belt height adjustment
(Except for rear center seat)The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-
justed to the position best suited for you. (See
“Precautions on seat belt usage” earlier in this
section.) To adjust, pull the release button
1,
and then move the shoulder belt anchor
2
to
the desired position, so that the belt passes over
the center of the shoulder. The belt should be
away from your face and neck, but not falling off
of your shoulder. Release the adjustment button
1to lock the shoulder belt anchor into position.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
ON REAR SEAT OUTBOARD OR
CENTER POSITIONS
WARNING

The three-point seat belt in your ve-
hicle is equipped with a locking mode
retractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.

Failure to use the automatic 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 installing a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear center position, both
the center seat belt connector tongue
and buckle tongue must be secured.
See “Attaching rear center seat belt”
earlier in this section.
Front facingWhen you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard or center seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-
ways follow the restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback. If nec-
essary, adjust or remove the head restraint to
obtain the correct child restraint fit. See
“Head restraint adjustment” earlier in this
section. If the head restraint is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to install thehead restraint when the child restraint is
removed. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is
fully extended. At this time, the belt retractor
is in the automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode). It reverts back to emergency

5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to push the child restraint from side
to side, and tug it forward to make sure that it
is securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm). If it does move
more than 1 inch (25 mm), pull again on the
shoulder belt to further tighten the child
restraint. If unable to properly secure the
restraint, move the restraint to another rear
seating position and try again, or try a differ-
ent child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles.
6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt out of
the retractor. If you cannot pull any more beltwebbing out of the retractor, the belt is in the
automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the belt
is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is allowed to wind back into the retractor,
the automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) will be canceled.
Rear facingWhen you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard or center seat, follow these steps:

INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING

Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental front air bags inflate
with great force. A rear-facing child
restraint could be struck by the
supplemental front air bag in a crash
and could seriously injure or kill yourchild.

NISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a front
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger
seat to the rearmost position. Also,
be sure the front passenger air bag
status light is illuminated to indicate
the passenger air bag is OFF. See
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” later in this section for details.
A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.

The three-point seat belt in your ve-
hicle is equipped with an automatic
locking mode retractor which must
be used when installing a child re-
straint.

Failure 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.
Also, it can change the operation of
the front passenger air bag. See
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” later in this section.
