WARNING
Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be properly
restrained in the rear seat and, if
appropriate, in a child restraint.
The seat belt should be properly ad-
justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury in anaccident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn
properly.
Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the belt behind your back,
under your arm or across your neck.
The belt should be away from your
face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder.Position the lap belt as low and snug
as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT
THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high
could increase the risk of internal
injuries in an accident.
Be sure the seat belt tongue is se-
curely fastened to the proper buckle.
Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
Do not allow more than one person
to use the same belt.
Never carry more people in the ve-
hicle than there are seat belts.
If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ONwith all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may indi-
cate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the
SSS0136

restraints” later in this section.
The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child restraint installation.
During normal seat belt use by a passen-
ger, the locking mode should not be acti-
vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension. It can also
change the operation of the front passen-
ger air bag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that the seatbacks are com-
pletely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.
When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear cen-
ter seat belt connector is completely
secured.
If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured in
the correct position, serious personal
injury may result in an accident or
sudden stop.
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-

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat. Supplemental front air
bags inflate with great force. A rear-
facing child restraint could be struck
by the supplemental front air bag in acrash and could seriously injure or
kill your child.
NISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a for-
ward facing child restraint in the front
passenger 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” in this section for details.
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 ofthe front passenger air bag. See
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in this section.
A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installation using the vehicle seat belts
in the rear seat or the front passenger seat.

5. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low
and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions for adjusting the belt routing.
6. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt
toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Be
sure the shoulder belt is positioned across
the top, middle portion of the child’s shoul-
der. Be sure to follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for adjusting the belt
routing.7. Follow the warnings, cautions and instruc-
tions for properly fastening a seat belt shown
in the “Three-point seat belt with retractor”
earlier in this section.8. If the booster seat is installed in the front
passenger seat, turn the ignition switch to the
ON position. The front passenger air bag
status light
may or may not illuminate
depending on the size of the child and the
type of booster seat used. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” in this sec-
tion.

PRECAUTIONS ON
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEMThis Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger front impact supple-
mental air bags (NISSAN advanced air bag
system), front seat side-impact supplemental air
bags, curtain side-impact and rollover air bags
and front seat pre-tensioner seat belts.
Supplemental front impact air bag system:
The NISSAN advanced air bag system can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest
of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Supplemental side-impact air bag system:
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the chest area of the driver and front passenger
in certain side impact collisions. The front seat
side-impact supplemental air bags are designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Supplemental curtain side-impact and roll-
over air bag system:This system can help
cushion the impact force to the head of occu-
pants in front and rear outboard seating posi-
tions in certain side impact or rollover collisions.
In a side impact, the curtain side-impact air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, both curtainside-impact air bags are designed to inflate and
remain inflated for a while.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed tosupplementthe crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and arenot a substitutefor them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel, door finishers
and side roof rails. (See “Seat belts” earlier in
this section for instructions and precautions on
seat belt usage.)
After turning the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
