Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS (front
seats)
WARNING
Always adjust the head restraints properly as
specified in the previous section. Failure to do
so can reduce the effectiveness of the active
head restraint.
Active head restraints are designed to supple-
ment other safety systems. Always wear seat
belts. No system can prevent all injuries in an
accident.
Do not attach anything to the head restraint
stalks. Doing so could impair the active head
restraint’s function.
The head restraint moves forward utilising the force
that the seatback receives from the occupant in a
rear-end collision. The movement of the head re-
straint helps support the occupant’s head by reduc- ing its backward movement and by helping to ab-
sorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash
type injuries.
Active head restraints are effective for collisions at
low to medium speeds in which it is said that whip-
lash injury occurs most.
Active head restraints operate only in certain rear-
end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints
return to their original positions.
Properly adjust the active head restraints as de-
scribed in the previous section.
WARNING
7–seater: Seat belts for 3rd row seats are not
part of the seat belt warning monitoring system.
SEAT BELT WARNINGS

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine tened. The seat belt warning shows a filled circle
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position
and an empty circle when the related seat belt has
been securely fastened, or after approximately 35
seconds after engine start, or when acknowledged
by the driver pushing the steering wheel switch
ji
(where fitted).
NOTE
If there is a change in (2nd row) rear seat belt
status during a journey then the applicable
symbol for any unbuckled seat will show again
for a further 35 seconds.
The front passenger seat belt warning light
will not illuminate if the seat is unoccupied.
Seat belts for 3rd row seats (where fitted) are
not part of the seat belt warning monitoring
system.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
Your chances of being injured in an accident and/or
the severity of injury may be greatly reduced if you
are wearing your seat belt and it is properly ad-
justed. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of
your passengers to buckle up every time you drive,
even if your seating position is equipped with an air
bag.
WARNING
Be sure to observe the following warnings when
using seat belts. Failure to do so could increase
the chance and/or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided.
No modifications or additions should be made
by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to re-
move slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort to provide
the protection for which they have been de-
signed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact even
if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-7

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around
a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.
Every occupant in this vehicle should wear a
seat belt at all times.
Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
All seat belt assemblies, including retractors
and attaching hardware, should be inspected
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop af-
ter any collision. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion should be replaced unless the collision
was minor and the belts show no damage and
continue to operate properly. Seat belt assem-
blies not in use during a collision should also
be inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has been ac-
tivated, it cannot be re-used. It must be re-
placed together with the retractor. See a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system components should be done
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
ONLY.
If the seat belt warning light glows continu-
ously while the ignition switch is in the ON
position, all doors are closed and occupied
seat belts are fastened, it may indicate a mal-function in the system. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the belt under your arm. Serious injury can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
Position the lap belt as low as possible
AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST.
CHILD SAFETY
Infants or small children
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
should be seated in a child restraint on the rear
seats if available. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. See “Child restraints”
later in this section. You should choose a child re-
straint system which fits your vehicle and always fol-
low the manufacturer’s instructions for installation
and use.
Children
Children who are too large for child restraints should
be seated and restrained by the seat belts that are
provided.
The use of a booster seat (commercially available)
may help to avoid the shoulder belt coming across
the face or neck area of a child’s seating position.
The booster seat should raise the child so that the
shoulder belt is properly positioned across the top,
middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low
on the hips. The booster seat should fit the vehicle’s
seat. Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt
is no longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and
do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the
vehicle is moving.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific recom-
mendations. The seat belt should be worn snug,
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run the lap/
shoulder belt over your abdominal area.

1-8Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING
The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused
after activation. It must be replaced together
with the retractor as a unit.
If the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure
to have the pre-tensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental
activation of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt opera-
tion. Tampering with the pre-tensioner seat
belt system may result in serious personal in-
jury.
Work on and around the pre-tensioner system
should be done by an authorised NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop. Installation of
electrical equipment should also be done by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. Unau-
thorised electrical test equipment and prob-
ing devices should not be used on the pre-
tensioner seat belt system.
If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner or
scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. Correct pre-tensioner
disposal procedures are set forth in the ap-propriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause personal in-
jury.
The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system is acti-
vated in conjunction with the front air bag system. It
helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle is in-
volved in certain types of collisions by restraining
the seat occupants via the seat belt retractor.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used in the same way
as conventional seat belts.
Additionally, the driver’s side pre-tensioner seat belt
system is also equipped with a lap pre-tensioner.
Both the retractor pre-tensioner and lap pre-ten-
sioner provide significant protection against injury in
an accident and increase the safety performance of
your vehicle.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt system activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is harmless, but care should be taken
not to inhale it as it may cause irritation and choking.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START
position, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
air bag warning light will illuminate. The SRS air bag
warning light will turn off after approximately 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational. If any of the follow-
ing conditions occur, the air bag and/or pre-ten-
sioner seat belt need servicing and your vehicle must
be taken to the nearest NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
The air bag warning light remains on after ap-
proximately 7 seconds.
The air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
The air bag warning light does not come on at
all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and/or pre-tensioner seat belt
may not function properly. It must be checked and
repaired.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you in-
form the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT
SYSTEM
1-12Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section
contains important information concerning the driver
and front passenger air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags and pre-tensioner seat belt system.
Front air bag system:this system can help cushion
the impact force to the face and chest of the driver
and front passenger in certain frontal collisions.
NOTE
For further information about the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation system see “Front pas-
senger air bag deactivation system” later in this
section.
Side 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 side air bag is designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted.
Curtain air bag system: this system can help cush-
ion the impact force to the head of an occupant in
the front and rear outer seating position. Curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
SRS is designed to supplementthe crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and front passenger seat
belts and is not designed to substitute them. Seat
belts should always be correctly worn and the driver
and front passenger seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel and front
door finishers. For additional information, see “Seat
belts” earlier in this section.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON or START position, the air bag warning light will illu-
minate. The air bag warning light will turn off
after approximately 7 seconds if the system is
operational. See “Warning/indicator lights and
audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section
for further details.
The air bag will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or START position.
WARNING
Driver and front passenger air bags:
The air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a side impact, rear impact, roll over,
or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk or se-
verity of injury in various kinds of accidents.
The seat belts and the air bags are most ef-
fective when you are sitting back and upright
in the seat. Air bags inflate with great force. If
you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash
and may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates.
WARNING
Never let children ride unrestrained or extend
their hands or face out of the window. Do not
attempt to hold them on your lap or in your
arms. Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the previous illustra-
tions.
Children may be severely injured or killed if
not properly restrained when the supplemen-
tal front air bags or supplemental side air bags
inflate. Preteens and children should be prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat if possible.
