Precautions on booster seatsGUID-2FF60888-9E8E-472D-B228-6543305D4D41
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a sudden stop or collision
greatly increases:
. Make sure the shoulder portion of
the belt is away from the child's face
and neck and the lap portion of the
belt does not cross the stomach.
. Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the child's
arm.
. A booster seat must only be in-
stalled in a seating position that has
a lap/shoulder belt.
LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in mind:
.Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

.Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle's seat
and seat belt system.
. Make sure the child's head will be properly
supported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat. The seatback must be at or above the
center of the child's ears. For example, if a
low back booster seat
*1is chosen, the
vehicle seatback must be at or above the
center of the child's ears. If the seatback is
lower than the center of the child's ears, a
high back booster seat
*2should be used.
LRS0454
. If the booster seat is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is compatible with
your child.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.
The instructions in this section apply to booster
seat installation in the front passenger seat.

1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, adjust the seatback so that
it is upright and then move the seat to
the rearmost position. Do not move the
seat with the booster seat attached to
it.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a front-facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat manufacturer's
instructions.
LRS0454
3. The booster seat should be positioned on
the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. If the head restraint/head-
rest is removed, store it in a secure place.
Be sure to reinstall the head restraint/
headrest when the booster seat is
removed. See ªHead restraints/headrestsº
(P.1-6) for head restraint adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper booster seat fit,
try a different booster seat. 4. 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
instructions for adjusting the belt routing.
5. 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
shoulder. Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions for adjusting the
belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and instruc- tions for properly fastening a seat belt
shown in the ªThree-point type seat beltº
(P.1-12) .

RESTRAINT SYSTEM
GUID-71C486F8-1582-4276-B111-88F8C1BA7124This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information concern-
ing the following systems.
. Driver and passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System)
. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
. Roof-mounted (Coupe models) or door-
mounted (Roadster models) curtain side-
impact supplemental air bag
. Seat belt with pretensioner
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.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
cushion the impact force to the chest and pelvis
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.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag system (for Coupe models): This system can help cushion the impact force
to the head of the driver and front passenger in
certain side impact collisions. The curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted.
Door-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag system (for Roadster mod-
els):
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the heads of the driver and front
passenger in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to supplement the crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away from
the steering wheel, instrument panel and door
finishers. (See ªSeat beltsº (P.1-10) for instruc-
tions and precautions on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing 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.

WARNING
.The front air bags ordinarily will not
inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower se-
verity frontal collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the
risk or severity of injury in various
kinds of accidents.
. The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the passenger air bag
status light is lit or if the front
passenger seat is unoccupied. See
ªFront passenger air bag and status
lightº (P.1-36) .
. The seat belts and the front air bags
are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the
seat with both feet on the floor. The
front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System, if you are
unrestrained, leaning forward, sit-
ting sideways or out of position in
any way, you are at greater risk of
injury or death in a crash. You may
also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the supplemental front air bag
if you are up against it when it
&RQGLWLRQ

inflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far-away as prac-
tical from the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Always use the
seat belts.
. The driver and front passenger seat
belt buckles are equipped with
sensors that detect if the seat belts
are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag
System monitors the severity of a
collision and seat belt usage then
inflates the air bags. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with an occupant classifi-
cation sensor (pattern sensor) that
turns the front passenger air bag
OFF under some conditions. This
sensor is only used in this seat.
Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. See ªFront passenger air
bag and status lightº (P.1-36) .
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could in- crease the risk of injury if the
supplemental front air bag inflates.

killed when the front air bags, side
air bags or curtain air bags inflate if
they are not properly restrained.
. Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front
seat. An inflating front air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child.
See ªChild restraintsº (P.1-19) for
