SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets�f
Then, wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
�belts to dry in the shade�f Do not allow the
seat �belts to retract until they are completely
dry�f
. If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt
guide of the seat �belt anchors, the seat
�belts may retract slowly�f Wipe the shoulder
�belt guide with a clean, dry cloth�f
. Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components such as
�buckles, tongues, retractors, flexi�ble wires
and anchors work properly�f If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
we�b�bing is found, the entire seat �belt
assem�bly should �be replaced�f
WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, the child can be seriously injured
or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if
the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat
belt to release the child. If the seat belt
can not be unbuckled or is already
unbuckled, release the child by cutting
the seat belt with a suitable tool (such
as a knife or scissors) to release the
seat belt.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is availa�ble from
many other sources, including doctors, teachers,
government traffic safety offices, and community
organizations�f Every child is different, so �be sure
to learn the �best way to transport your child�f
There are three �basic types of child restraint systems:
.
Rear-facing child restraint
. Forward-facing child restraint
. Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size�f
Generally, infants (up to a�bout 1 year and less
than 20 l�b (9 kg)) should �be placed in rear-
facing child restraints�f Forward-facing child
restraints are availa�ble for children who outgrow
rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1
year old�f Booster seats are used to help position
a vehicle lap/shoulder �belt on a child who can no
longer use a forward-facing child restraint�f
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not
fit them properly. The shoulder belt may
come too close to the face or neck. The
lap belt may not fit over their small hip
bones. In an accident, an improperly
fitting seat belt could cause serious or
fatal injury. Always use appropriate
child restraints.
All U�fS�f states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved child

maintenance. The ignition s�fitch should al�fa�bs
be in the LOCK position �fhen �forking under
the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
. Once a front air bag, side air bag, or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioners must
also be replaced. The air bag mod-
ule and pretensioners should be
replaced by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. The air bag module and pretensioners cannot be repaired.
. The front air bag, side air bag,

certified NISSAN dealer if there is
any damage to the front end or side
portion of the vehicle.
. If you need to dispose of a supple-
mental air bag or a pretensioner or
