WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides
in this vehicle should use a seat
belt at all times. Children should
be properly restrained in the rear
seat and, if appropriate, in a child
restraint.
. 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.

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.

ing position (right side).
. Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other
items or equipment to the vehi-
cle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The
child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
. Properly secure cargo and do not
allow it to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Cargo that is
not properly secured or cargo
that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. Your child
could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child
restraint top tether strap is da-
maged.Top tether anchor point locations
Anchor points are located in the following
locations:
.2nd row bench seat (if so equipped)
on the seatback of the outboard
seating positions as shown.
. 2nd row captain’s seats (if so
equipped) on the seatback of the
outboard seating positions as shown.
. 3rd row bench seat on the seatback of
the outboard seating position (right
side) as shown.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap child restraint on

visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING LATCH
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the
combined weight of the child and the
child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If
the combined weight of the child and the
child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5
kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the
lower anchors) to install the child re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation. Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint in the 2nd row seats using
the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.

restraints/headrests” (P.1-14) for head
restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
2. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point on the back of each
seatback behind the child restraint.

FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
. The three-point seat belt with
Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) must be used when instal-
ling a child restraint. Failure to
use the ALR mode will result in
the child restraint not being prop-
erly 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 pas-
senger air bag. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light”
(P.1-62)
. When installing a child restraint
system in the 3rd center position,
both the center seat belt connec-
tor tongue and buckle tongue
must be secured. See “3rd row
center seat belt” (P.1-26).
SSS0640
Forward-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the
combined weight of the child and the
child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If
the combined weight of the child and the
child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5
kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the
lower anchors) to install the child re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.

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.
SSS0803
Forward-facing — step 10

should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-62). Move
the child restraint to another seating
position. Have the system checked. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.
