WARNING
• 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 ignition is
placed in the ON position with all
doors closed and all seat belts fas-
tened, it may indicate a malfunction
in the system. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• No changes should be made to the
seat belt system. For example, do not
modif y 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. Modif ying or tampering
with the seat belt system may result
in serious personal injury. •
Once seat belt pretensioner(s) have
activated, they cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the
retractor. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
•
All seat belt assemblies, including re-
tractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected af ter any colli-
sion. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. NISSAN
recommends that all seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor
and the belts show no damage and
continue to operate properly. Seat belt
assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be inspected and re-
placed if either damage or improper
operation is noted.
•All child restraints and attaching hard-
ware should be inspected af ter any
collision. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer's inspection instruc-
tions and replacement recommenda-
tions. The child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT AND
CHIME
The light and chime remind you to fasten
the driver, front passenger and rear pas-
senger seat belts. A visual audible alert will
operate in the following conditions:
• If the driver seat belt is not fastened.
• The front passenger’s seat belt is not fas-tened and the seat is occupied by a pas-
senger for 7 seconds af ter the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. • The front passenger’s seat belt is not fas-
tened and objects or external force on
the passenger seat change the seat belt
reminder classification to “occupied”.
• Any rear passenger seat belt is operated from fastened to unfastened.
For additional information, see:
•
“Seat belt warning light and chime” (P. 2-10).
• “Rear seat belt warning” (P. 2-28).
The below situations could result in the
seat belt warning function operating, 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 passen- ger seat.
• An object placed between the seat cush- ion and center console or between the
seat cushion and the door.
• An object hanging on the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.
• A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback. The rear seat belt reminder may operate
if the rear seat belts are used without
occupants.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant
women use seat belts. The seat belt should
be worn snug and always position the lap
belt as low as possible around the hips, not
the waist. Place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal
area. Contact your doctor for specific
recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons
use seat belts. Check with your doctor for
specific recommendations.

3. Position the lap belt portionlow and
snug on the hips
OBas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
OC.Be
sure the shoulder belt is routed over
your shoulder and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear
seating positions three-point seat belts
have two modes of operation:
• Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
• Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) The ELR mode allows the seat belt to ex-
tend 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 ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks
the seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the 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 re-
turns to the ELR mode af ter the seat belt
fully retracts. For additional information,
see “Child restraints” (P. 1-21).
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR
mode should not be activated. If it is acti-
vated, it may cause uncomfortable seat
belt tension. It can also change the opera-
tion of the front passenger air bag. For
additional information, see “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” (P. 1-52).
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be cer-
tain that the seatbacks are completely
secured in the latched position. If they
are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or
sudden stop.
