WARNING
• Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be in the
rear seats and in an appropriate re-
straint.
• The seat belt should be properly ad- justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury in an
accident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn
properly.
• 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 in-
juries in an accident.
• Be sure the seat belt tongue is se- curely 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 ve- hicle than there are seat belts.
• If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the power switch
is turned ON with all doors closed
and all seat belts fastened, it may
indicate a malfunction in the sys-
tem. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
• No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do
not modif y the seat belt, add mate-
rial, or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or ten-
sion. Doing so may affect the opera-
tion of the seat belt system. Modif y-
ing or tampering with the seat belt
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
