To fold down the seatback of each rear seat, pull
the strap
*1
or
*2.CAUTION
When folding or returning the
seatback(s) to the upright position, to avoid injury to yourself and others:
.
Make sure that the seat path is clear
before moving the seat.
. The seatback is spring assisted and
may move at a rapid rate. Be careful
not to allow the seatback to pinch or
hit any part of your body when you
fold it.
To return the seatback to the seating position, lift
up each seatback and push it to the upright
position until it is latched. Unstow the seat belt
buckles by pulling the buckles out of the seat
pockets.
WARNING
. Do not use the rear seat belts when
the buckles are stowed in the seat
pockets. Failure to do so may re-
duce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
. Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any objects are on the rear
seats.
. Never allow anyone to ride in the

cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by
passengers without proper re-
straints could result in serious injury
in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other
vehicle safety systems. They may pro-
vide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the
head restraints properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint
stalks or remove the head restraint. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint
has been removed. If the head restraint
was removed, reinstall and properly
adjust the head restraint before an
occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the
head restraints. This may increase the
risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

Rear seat belt buckles (except for Cargo
Van models)The rear seat belt buckles can be stowed by
pushing the buckles into the pockets of the seat
cushion when the rear seatback is folded. The
buckles should only be stowed when the seat-
back is folded. At all other times the seat belt
buckles must be pulled out of the pockets in the
unstowed position.
WARNING
Do not use the rear seat belts when the
buckles are stowed in the seat pockets.
Failure to do so may reduce the effec-tiveness of the entire restraint system
and increase the chance or severity of
injury in an accident.
Checking seat belt operationSeat belt retractors are designed to lock seat
belt movement by two separate methods:
.
When the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows:
. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward
quickly. The retractor should lock and
restrict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check or
if you have any question about seat belt
operation, see a NISSAN dealer.

earlier in this section.)
To adjust, pull the adjustment button
*1, and
then move the shoulder belt anchor to the
desired position
*2, 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 to lock the shoulder belt anchor into
position.

by inserting a suitable tool such as key
*2
into the connector buckle.
2. Retract the seat belt and secure the seat belt tongue and connector tongue on the
seat belt hook

2. Pull the seat belt and secure the connector buckle until it clicks
*2.
The rear center seat belt connector tongue can
be attached only into the rear center seat belt
connector buckle.
To fasten the seat belt, see “Fastening the seat
belts” earlier in this section.
WARNING
. When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear
center seat belt connector is com-
pletely secured.
. If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured
in the correct position, serious per-
sonal injury may result in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
