reset overload protection circuit. If the
motor stops during operation, wait 30
seconds, then reactivate the switch.

WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supple-
ment the other vehicle safety sys-
tems. They may provide additional
protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjustable head
restraints/headrests must be ad-
justed properly, as specified in this
section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head re-
straint/headrest stalks or remove
the head restraint/headrest. Do not
use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the
head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust
the head restraint/headrest before
an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions can reduce the effectiveness of
the head restraint/headrest. This
may increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a collision.
SSS1007
The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with head restraints/
headrests.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
. Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, 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/
headrests 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 re-
installed and locked in place before
riding in that designated seating posi-
tion.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINTS (if so equipped)
The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback
receives from the occupant in a rear-end
collision. The movement of the head
restraint helps support the occupant’s
head by reducing its backward move-
ment and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type
injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for
collisions at low to medium speeds in
which it is said that whiplash injury occurs
most.
Active Head Restraints operate only incertain rear-end collisions. After the colli-
sion, the head restraints return to their
original positions.
The front head restraints have multiple
adjustment notches.
Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints
as described in this section.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and
well back in your seat with both feet on
the floor, your chances of being injured or
killed in an accident and/or the severity of
injury may be greatly reduced. NISSAN
strongly encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every time you
drive, even if your seating position in-
cludes a supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian pro-
vinces or territories specify that seat
belts be worn at all times when a
vehicle is being driven.
