2016 NISSAN 370Z COUPE Window

1-34Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
ways wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury
in various kinds of accidents.
. The seat belts, side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. The side air bag
and curtain air bag inflate with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side
air bag on the side of the seatback
of the front seat or near the side
roof rails (Coupe models)/door trim
(Roadster models) . Do not allow
anyone sitting in the front seats to
extend their hand out of the window
or lean against the door. Some
examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the previous
illustrations.
. Do not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
supplemental side air bag inflation.
