WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides
in this vehicle should use a seat
belt at all times.
. The seat belt should be properly
adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to
do so may reduce the effective-
ness of the entire restraint sys-
tem and increase the chance or
severity of injury in an accident.
Serious injury or death can occur
if the seat belt is not worn prop-
erly.
. 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
accident.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper buckle.
. Do not wear the seat belt inside
out or twisted. Doing so may
reduce its effectiveness.
. Do not allow more than one
person to use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light
glows continuously while the
ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. Have the
system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. No changes should be made to
the seat belt system. For exam-
ple, do not modify the seat belt,
add material or install devices
that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may
affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tam-
pering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal
injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with

the retractor. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hard-
ware, should be inspected after
any collision. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor
and the belts show no damage
and continue to operate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use
during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is
noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Always follow
the restraint manufacturer’s in-
spection instructions and repla-
cement recommendations. The
child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant wo-
men use seat belts. The seat belt should
be worn snug, and always position the lap
belt as low as possible around the hips,
not the waist, and place the shoulder belt
over your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your
abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons
use seat belts, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for specific re-
commendations.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides
in this vehicle should use a seat
belt at all times.
. 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 re-
ceive neck or other serious inju-
ries. 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 and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly.
. Do not allow children to play with
the seat belts. Most seating posi-
tions are equipped with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt
becomes wrapped around a
child’s neck with the ALR mode
activated, the child can be ser-
iously 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.

1-14Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode (child restraint mode) locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.
Pull the seat belt out until it is fully
extended to activate the ALR mode.
Detach the seat belt tongue from the
buckle and retract the seat belt comple-
tely to cancel the ALR mode and revert
back to the ELR mode.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the
buckle and fully retracted. For additional
information, see “Child restraints” (P.1-19).
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During nor-
mal seat belt use by an occupant, the
ALR mode should not be activated. If it
is activated it may cause uncomfortable
seat belt tension.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that seatbacks are comple-
tely secured in the latched position.
If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an
accident or sudden stop.
SSS0326
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 for-
ward quickly. The retractor should
lock and restrict further belt move-
ment.
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.

SSS0641
Front-facing — step 8
8. After attaching the child restraint, testit before you place the child in it. Push
it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the seat belt path.
The child restraint should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm) from side to
side. Try to tug it forward and check to
see if the belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the seat belt as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 2 through 8.
SSS0988Front-facing — step 11
10. If the child restraint is installed in the
front passenger seat, push the igni-
tion switch to the ON position. The
front passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-38). Have the
system checked. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.
