1-2Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
SSS0133
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 sitwell back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat properly. See“Pre-
cautions on seat belt usage”(P.1-
10) .
.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..To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of
the vehicle and/or its systems, do
not leave children, people who re-
quire the assistance of others or
pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside
a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.
.Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation. The seat
may move suddenly and could
cause loss of control of the vehicle.
.The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger sits well back and
straight up in the seat. If the seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and being injured
is increased.

operate the power seats for a long period of
time when the engine is not running.

straints could result in serious injury
in an accident or sudden stop.
.Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any cargo is on the rear
seats.
.Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks.
.When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.

WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/head-
rests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or re-
move the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, rein-
stall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to
follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraint/
headrest. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a headrest.
+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped
with a head restraint or headrest.
.Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable.
.Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them
in a desired adjustment position..The non-adjustable head restraints/head-
rests have a single locking notch to secure
them to the seat frame.
.Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than the
recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.
.If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.

Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the
buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat
belt movement by two separate methods:
.When the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
.When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows:
.Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward
quickly. The retractor should lock andrestrict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check,
get the system checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service, or to learn
more about seat belt operation.

adjusted to the position best for you. (See
“Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10) .)
To adjust, pull the adjustment button
