WARNING
• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident,
you could be thrown into it and re-
ceive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap belt
and receive serious internal injuries. •
For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat with
both feet on the floor and adjust the
seat properly. For additional infor-
mation, see “Precautions on seat belt
usage” (P. 1-13).
•
Af ter adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely locked.
• Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls or
make the vehicle move. Unattended
children could become involved in
serious accidents.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.
• Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation. The seat may
move suddenly and could cause loss
of control of the vehicle.
•
The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when the
passenger sits well back and straight
up in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and being injured is increased.

also be reclined to allow occupants to rest
when the vehicle is parked.

ceive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap belt
and receive serious internal injuries.
• For the most effective protection

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
• Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats when
they are in the fold-down position.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas without proper restraints are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
• Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seats.
– Make sure that the seat path is
clear before moving the seat.
– Be careful not to allow hands or
feet to get caught or pinched in
the seat. •
Head restraints/headrests should be
adjusted properly as they may pro-
vide significant protection against
injury in an accident. Always replace
and adjust them properly if they have
been removed for any reason.
• If the head restraints/headrests are
removed for any reason, they should
be securely stored to prevent them
from causing injury to passengers or
damage to the vehicle in case of sud-
den braking or an accident.
• When returning rear row seatbacks
to the upright position, the operator
should always verif y that the back
is locked in the upright position by
gently rocking the seatback before
allowing passengers to occupy the
rear seats. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
• Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shif ting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
Folding the rear bench seat
Before folding the rear seats:
• Disconnect and secure the center seat belt and tongue into the retractor base.
For additional information, see “Stowing
the rear center seat belt” (P. 1-19).
• Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks on the side wall. For additional in-
formation, see “Seat belt hook” (P. 1-23).
• Remove drink containers from the rear cup holder.

WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/
headrests must be adjusted properly,
as specified in this section. Check the
adjustment af ter someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalk, except
for Genuine NISSAN accessories spe-
cifically tested for use with the vehicle’s
head restraint/headrest stalk. Do not
remove the head restraint/headrest.
Do not use the seat if the head
restraint/headrest has been removed.
If the head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust
the head restraint/headrest before an
occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions can
reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may in-
crease the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision. The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with head restraints/
headrests.

Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
 Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a headrest.
+ Indicates the seating position is not
equipped with a head restraint or headrest
(if applicable). • Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
• Adjustable head restraints/headrests have multiple notches along the stalk(s)
to lock them in a desired adjustment
position.
• The non-adjustable head restraints/ headrests have a single locking notch to
secure them to the seat frame.
• Proper Adjustment:
– For the adjustable type, align the head restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.
– If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the
head restraint/headrest at the highest
position.
• If the head restraint/headrest has been removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that des-
ignated seating position.

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-9

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
restraint.WARNING
• 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.

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 or chime continues
while the ignition is turned ON 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 assemblies in use during a colli-
sion 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 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.
