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
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-11
1-12Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
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.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT AND
CHIME
The driver and front passenger seats are
equipped with an enhanced seat belt
reminder function. If your vehicle is
equipped with an enhanced seat belt
reminder function, a visual and audible
alert will operate if a driver or front
passenger seat belt is unbuckled at
speeds of approximately 10 MPH (15
km/h) or more under the following con-
ditions:
.If the driver seat belt is not fastened.
. The front passenger’s seat belt is not
fastened and the seat is occupied by a
passenger for 7 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
. The front passenger’s seat belt is not
fastened and objects or external force
on the passenger seat change the
seat belt reminder classification to
“occupied”.
The seat belt warning light will flash
under the conditions shown above until
the necessary seat belt is securely fas-
tened.
A warning chime will sound for approxi-
mately 90 seconds or until one of the
following conditions is met:
. The unbuckled front passenger’s seat
belt is securely fastened.
. The seat belt reminder function in the
front passenger seat no longer de-
tects that the front passenger seat is
occupied.
. The ignition switch is turned off.
The below situations could result in the
seat belt warning light being illuminated
and the chime sounding, even with no
occupant present in the passenger seat:
. Heavy objects placed on the seat.
. Someone pushing or pulling on the
front passenger seat.
. An object placed under the front
passenger seat.

FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS (for Coupe models)
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. Failure to use the ALR mode
will result in the child restraint not
being properly secured. The restraint
could tip over or be loose and cause
injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision. Also, it can change the
operation of the front passenger airbag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” (P.1-39).
