WARNING

Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the fold-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury in an accident or suddenstop.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously in-
jured or killed.

Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts. Be sure everyone in your ve-
hicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.

Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seat.

Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide signifi-
cant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.

If the head restraints are removed for
any reason, they should be securely
stored to prevent them from causing

injury to passengers or damage to
the vehicle in case of sudden braking
or an accident.

Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.

When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched po-
sition. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.
RecliningPull the knob

to remove it from the lock plate
and lean back until the desired angle is obtained.
To bring the seatback forward, pull the knob and
move your body forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes to help
obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on
seat belt usage” later in this section.) The seat-
back may also be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is parked.
WARNING

Do not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident
you could be thrown into it and re-
ceive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap
belt and receive serious internal inju-
ries.

For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back in the seat and adjust the
seat belt properly. See “PRECAU-
TIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE” later
in this section.

After adjustment, check to be sure
the seat is securely locked.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGEIf you are wearing your seat belt properly ad-
justed and you are sitting upright and well back
in your seat, your chances of being injured or
killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury
may be greatly reduced. NISSAN strongly en-
courages you and all of your passengers to
buckle up every time you drive, even if your
seating position includes a supplemental air bag.
Most states, provinces or territories re-
quire that seat belts be worn at all times
when a vehicle is being driven.

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.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
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
locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the belt to
remove any slack in the belt.5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to tilt 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 25 mm (1 inch). If it does move
more than 25 mm (1 inch), 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 belt
