2018 NISSAN QASHQAI child restraint

1-56Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
electrical equipment. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not
be used on the pretensioner sys-
tem.
. If you need to dispose of a pre-
tensioner or scrap the vehicle, it is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. Correct
pretensioner disposal procedures
are set forth in the appropriate
NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate
with the supplemental air bag system in
certain types of collisions. Working with
the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the
seat belt when the vehicle becomes
involved in certain types of collisions,
helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat
belt retractor. These seat belts are used
the same way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is
released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is not harmful and does not
indicate a fire. Care should be taken not
to inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the
chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is used to indicate malfunctions in
the pretensioner system. See “Supple-
mental air bag warning light” (P.1-57). If
the operation of the supplemental air bag
warning light indicates there is a mal-
function, have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the preten-
sioner system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-
ual.

PARCEL SHELF
WARNING
.Never put anything on the parcel
shelf, no matter how small. Any
object on it could cause an injury
in case of an accident or if the
brakes are applied suddenly.
. Do not leave the parcel shelf in
position when it is disengaged
from the grooves.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury
. The child restraint top tether
strap may be damaged by con-
tact with the parcel shelf or items
in the cargo area. Remove the
parcel shelf from the vehicle or
store it in its storage space. Also,
secure any lose items in the cargo
area. Your child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the
top tether strap is damaged.
Removal
1. Open the liftgate. (See “Liftgate” (P.3-
25).)
2. Detach both of the ropes (left and right)
from the inside of the liftgate.
3. Detach the parcel shelf by simply pulling it rearwards through the lift-
gate opening.

If the windows do not close auto-
matically
If the power window automatic function
(closing only) does not operate properly,
perform the following procedure to initi-
alize the power window system.
1. Start the engine.
2. Close the door.
3. After starting the engine, open thewindow completely by operating the
power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then
hold the switch more than 3 seconds
after the window is closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Operate the window by the automatic
function to confirm the initialization is
complete.
If the power window automatic function
does not operate properly after perform-
ing the procedure above, it is recom-
mended you have your vehicle checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
. In an accident you could be
thrown from the vehicle through
an open moonroof. Always use
seat belts and child restraints.
. Do not allow anyone to stand up
or extend any portion of their
body out of the moonroof open-
ing while the vehicle is in motion
or while the moonroof is closing.
CAUTION
.Remove water drops, snow, ice or
sand from the moonroof before
opening.
. Do not place any heavy object on
the moonroof or surrounding
area.
POWER MOONROOF
The moonroof only operates when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The moonroof is operational for about 45
seconds, even if the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position. If the driver’s
door or the passenger’s door is opened during this period of about 45 seconds,
power to the moonroof is canceled.

MOONROOF (if so equipped)

4.The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
ample, if the XXX amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lb. passengers in your vehi-
cle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs) or (640 − 340 (5 x 70) =
300 kg.)
5.Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed
the available cargo and luggage
load capacity calculated in Step
4.
Before driving a loaded vehicle,
confirm that you do not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle. (See
“Measurement of weights” (P.10-14).)
Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. See the Tire and Loading
Information label.JVI1686X
SECURING THE LOAD
There are luggage hooks located in the
cargo area as shown. The hooks can be
used to secure cargo with ropes or other
types of straps.
Do not apply a total load of more than
22 lbs. (10 kg) to a single metal floor
hook when securing cargo.
WARNING
. Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat- backs. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
. The child restraint top tether
strap may be damaged by con-
tact with items in the cargo area.
Secure any items in the cargo
area. Your child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the
top tether strap is damaged.
. Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear GAWRs.
If you do, parts of your vehicle
can break, tire damage could
occur, or it can change the way
your vehicle handles. This could
result in loss of control and cause
personal injury.
LOADING TIPS
.The GVW must not exceed GVWR
or GAWR as specified on the F.M.
V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification la-
bel.
.Do not load the front and rear
axle to the GAWR. Doing so will
exceed the GVWR.
