SEAT BELTS

Precautions on seat belt usage
Zhengzhou NISSAN strongly
encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every
time you drive.
Your chances of being injured in
an accident and the severity of
injury may be greatly reduce if
you are wearing your seat belt
and it is properly adjusted.

Warning

●

Seat belts are designed to

bear upon the bony structure of
the body, and should be worn
low across the front of the
pelvis, or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders,

as

applicable;

wearing the lap section of the
belt across the abdominal area
must be avoided. Serious injury
can occur if seat belt is not
worn properly.

●

No

modifications

or

additions should be made

●

by the user which will

either prevent the seat belt
adjusting

devices

from

operating to remove slack, or
prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjust to remove
slack.

●

Seat

belts

should

be

adjusted as firmly as possible,
consistent with comfort, to
pro-vide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
wearer. Care should be taken to
avoid contamination of the
webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals,

and

particularly

battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated
or damaged.

●

It is essential to replace the

entire assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact

even if damage to the assembly
is not obvious.

●

Belts should not be worn

with straps twisted.

●

Each seat belt assembly

must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to
put a belt around a child being
carried on the occupant

’s lap.

●

All seat belt assemblies

including

retractors

and

attaching hardware should be
inspected after any collision at
your Zhengzhou NISSAN dealer.
Zhengzhou

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.

2-16 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Pregnant women
Zhengzhou NISSAN recommends
that pregnant women use seat
belts. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations. The
lap belt should be worn snug and
positioned as low possible around
the hips, not the waist.

Injured persons
Zhengzhou NISSAN recommends
that injured persons use seat
belts, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for
specific recommendations.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
To clean the seat belt webbings,
apply a mild soap solution or any
solution

recommended

for

cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then brush it, wipe with a cloth
and allow it to dry in the shade.
Do not allow the seat belts to
retract until they are completely
dry.
If dirt builds up in the shoulder
belt guide of the seat belt anchors,
the seat belts may retract slowly.
Wipe the shoulder belt guide with

a clean, dry cloth.
Periodically check to see that the
seat

belt

and

the

metal

components such as buckles,
tongues, retractors, flexible wires
and anchors work properly. If
loose parts, deterioration, cuts or
other damage on the webbing is
found, the entire belt assembly
should be replaced.

3-Point Type With Retractor

Fastening The Belts
1

， Adjust the seat

Warning

●

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 reclined,

the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and being injured is
increased.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments 2-17

2

， Slowly pull the seat belt out

of the retractor and insert the
tongue into the buckle until it
snaps.
The retractor is designed to
lock during a sudden stop or
on impact. A slow pulling
motion will permit the belt to
move, and allow you some
freedom of movement in the
seat.
3

， Position the lap belt portion

low on the hips as shown.
4

， Pull the shoulder belt portion

toward the retractor to take up
extra slack.

Warning

●

The seat belt should rest

on the middle of the shoulder.
It must not rest against the
neck.

●

Make sure that the seat belt

is not twisted in any way.

Unfastening the belts
To unfasten the belt, press the
button on the buckle. The seat
belt will automatically retract.

Checking seat belt operation
Your seat belt retractors are
designed to lock belt movement
by two separate methods:
1

， When the belt is pulled

quickly from the retractor.
2

， When the vehicle slows down

rapidly.
To increase your confidence in
the belts, check the operation
as follows: Grasp the shoulder
belt and pull quickly forward.
The retractor should lock and
restrict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock
during these checks or if you
have any question about belt
operation see your Zhengzhou
NISSAN dealer.

2-Point Type Without Retractor
（If So Equipped）
Fastening the belts

Operating tips



Keep windows and sun roof
closed

while

the

air

conditioner is in operation

.



After parking in the sun, drive
for two or three minutes with
the windows open to vent hot

6 Heater, air conditioner and audio system

air

from

the

passenger

compartment. Then, close
the windows. This will allow
the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly

.



The air conditioning system
should be operated for about
ten minutes at least once a
month, especially in winter.
This helps prevent damage to
the system due to lack of
lubrication.



If the coolant temperature
gauge exceeds the "HOT"
position,

turn

the

air

conditioner off. Have your

Vehicle

inspected

by

PARSKHODRO service center.
See "If your vehicle overheats" in
the “In case of emergency”
section for additional information

.

Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system in
your NISSAN vehicle is charged
with a new refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind

.

This new refrigerant will not
harm the earth’s ozone layer.

However it may contribute in a
small part to global warming

.

Special charging equipment and
lubricant

are

required

when

servicing

your

NISSAN

air

conditioner.

Using

improper

refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage to your air
conditioning system. See “Air
conditioning system refrigerant
an

d lubricant recommendations”

in the "Technical information"
section of this manual

.

PARSKHODRO service center
will be able to service your
environmentally

"friendly"

air

conditioning system.
