2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of theretractor and insert the tongue into
the buckle
until you hear and feel
the latch engage.
.The retractor is designed to lock
during a sudden stop or on im-
pact. A slow pulling motion per-
mits the belt to move and allows
you some freedom of movement
in the seat.
.If the seat belt cannot be pulledfrom its fully retracted position,
firmly pull the belt and release it.
Then smoothly pull the belt out of
the retractor.

3. Position the lap belt portion low and
snug on the hipsas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
.
Be sure the shoulder belt is routed
over your shoulder and across your
chest.
The three-point seat belts in the front
passenger seat and the rear seating
positions have two modes of operation:
. Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
. Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
mode allows the seat belt to extend and
retract to allow the driver and passengers
some freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat belt when the
vehicle slows down rapidly or during
certain impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode (child restraint mode) locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.
When ALR mode is activated the seat belt
cannot be extended again until the seat
belt tongue is detached from the buckle
and fully retracted. The seat belt returns
to the ELR mode after the seat belt fully
retracts. For additional information, see
“Child restraints” (P.1-23).
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During nor-
mal seat belt use by an occupant, the
ALR mode should not be activated. If it
is activated, it may cause uncomforta-
ble seat belt tension. It can also change
the operation of the front passenger air
bag.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that seatbacks are comple-
tely secured in the latched position.
If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an
accident or sudden stop.

ditional trim material, such as
seat covers, on the seat that is
not specifically designed to as-
sure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passen-
ger seat or the seat cushion and
seatback. Such objects may inter-
fere with the proper operation of
the occupant classification sen-
sors.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the seat belt system.
This may affect the front air bag
system. Tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the front air bag. It is also
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for installation of electrical
equipment. The Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) wiring
harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not
be used on the air bag system. .
A cracked windshield should be
replaced immediately by a quali-
fied repair facility. A cracked
windshield could affect the func-
tion of the supplemental air bag
system.
*The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the front air
bag system and guide the buyer to the
