2008 NISSAN 350Z belt

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
injuries.
For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back in the seat with both feet
on the floor and adjust the seat prop-
erly. See “Precautions on seat belt
usage” later in this section.

After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.

Do not leave children unattended in-side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation. The seat may
move suddenly and could cause loss
of control of the vehicle.
