seatback in position.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10) .) Also, the seatback can be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park)
position or N (Neutral) position with the parking
brake fully applied.
NOTE:
.Depending on the passenger’s seat
sliding position when the passenger
seat is unoccupied while driving, a
noise may be heard as the side part
of the passenger’s seat contacts the
seat belt tongue. In this case, move the
seat to the rearmost position to avoid
interference.
. If you are having difficulty turning the
adjusting dial, park the vehicle and
then open the door or get out of the
vehicle to operate the dial.

.After adjustment, release the ad-
justment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down
to make sure it is securely fixed in
position.

Seat belt hooks
When the rear seat belts are not in use and
when folding down the rear seats, hook the rear
seat belts on the seat belt hooks.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt
and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with
the installed seat belts is available that can be
purchased. The extender adds approximately 8
in (200 mm) of length and may be used for either
the driver or front passenger seating position.
See a NISSAN dealer for assistance with
purchasing an extender if an extender is required.
WARNING
.
Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,
made by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, should be used with NISSAN
seat belts.
. Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal
injury in the event of an accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured in a
collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are completely
dry.
