1-2Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
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 receive 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
properly. (“Precautions on seat
belt usage” page 1-6)
. After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents. .
The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger sits with their back
straight up and contacting the seat.
If the seatback is reclined, the risk
of sliding under the lap belt and
being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries or damage.
NOTICE
Make sure the front seatback does not
contact the rear seat when reclining the
seat. When the front seat is reclined to
the rearmost position, it may contact
the rear seat. This may cause an
indentation in the seatback.

Operating tips
.The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overloa\f protection circuit. I\b the motor
stops \furing operation, wait 30 secon\fs,
then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch \bor a
long perio\f o\b time when the engine is o\b\b.
This will \fischarge the battery.

“Precautions on seat
belt usage” �fage 1-6)
Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occu�fants to rest when the vehicle is

tilt the seatback for\fard.
2. Use the seat adjustment s\fitch
*Ato slide
the seat for\fard to a position \fhere it \fill be

.
When returning the seat to its

. Be careful not to pinch your hand or
foot or bump your head when oper-
ating the walk-in seat.
. Be careful not to hit your hand or
arm against the vehicle body when
holding the knob
*2and tilting the
seatback. Particularly when the seat
is slid rearward, clearances between
the seat and the vehicle body are
small.
NOTICE
Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. They may
be pinched and damaged.
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions.
Head restraints/headrests must be ad-
justed properly, as specified in this
section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Failure to
follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraints/
headrests. This may increase the risk
of serious injury or death in a collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly
a\fjuste\f, an\f you are sitting upright an\f well
ba\bk in your seat with both feet on the floor, your
\bhan\bes of being injure\f or kille\f in an a\b\bi\fent
an\f/or the severity of injury may be greatly
re\fu\be\f. NISSAN strongly en\bourages you an\f
all of your passengers to bu\bkle up every time
you \frive, even if your seating position in\blu\fes a
supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories specify that seat belts be
worn at all times when a vehicle is being
driven.
SEAT BELTS

WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat and,
if appropriate, in a child restraint.
. The seat belt should be properly
adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do
so may reduce the effectiveness of
the entire restraint system and in-
crease the chance or severity of
injury in an accident. Serious injury
or death can occur if the seat belt is
not worn properly.
. Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your
chest. Never put the belt behind
your back, under your arm or across
your neck. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
. Position the lap belt as low and
snug as possible AROUND THE
HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt
worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an acci-
dent.
