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 fold down the rear seats

when occupants are in the rear
seat area or any cargo is on the
rear seats.

. Head restraints should be ad-

justed properly as they may pro-
v i d e

s i g n i f i c a n t

p r o t e c t i o n

against injury in an accident. Al-
ways replace and adjust them
properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.

. If the head restraints are re-

moved for any reason, they
should be securely stored to pre-

vent them from causing injury to
passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking
or an accident.

. When returning the seatbacks to

the upright position, be certain
they are completely secured in
the latched position. If they are
not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.

. Properly secure all cargo to help

prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.

. When folding the bench seat

seatback down for maximum sto-
rage, make sure the seat base is
in the latched position by rocking
the seat base. If the seat base is
not properly secured, cargo
stored on top of a folded seat-
back may become a projectile
causing personal injury or vehicle
damage.

CAUTION

. When folding the 2nd row seat for

maximum cargo hauling, be sure
that cargo does not contact the
center console of the captain’s
seat (if so equipped) to avoid
possible damage to the console.

WARNING

Head restraint/headrest supplement
the other vehicle safety systems.
They may provide additional protec-
tion against injury in certain rear end
collisions. Adjustable head re-
straints/headrests must be adjusted
properly, as specified in this section.
Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach
anything to the head restraint/head-
rest stalks or remove the head re-
straint/headrest. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint/headrest has
been removed. If the head restraint/
headrest was removed, 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 restraint/
headrest. This may increase the risk
of serious injury or death in a colli-
sion.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINT

The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback
receives from the occupant in a rear-end
collision. The movement of the head
restraint helps support the occupant’s
head by reducing its backward move-
ment and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type
injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective for
collisions at low to medium speeds in
which it is said that whiplash injury occurs
most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in

certain rear-end collisions. After the colli-
sion, the head restraints return to their
original position.

Adjust the Active Head Restraints prop-
erly as described earlier in this section.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and
well back in your seat with both feet on
the floor, your chances of being injured or
killed in an accident and/or the severity of
injury may be greatly reduced. NISSAN
strongly encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every time you
drive, even if your seating position in-
cludes a supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian pro-
vinces or territories specify that seat
belts be worn at all times when a
vehicle is being driven.

SSS0136A

SSS0134A

SEAT BELTS

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.

PREGNANT WOMEN

NISSAN recommends that pregnant wo-
men 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, and 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, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for specific re-
commendations.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT

WARNING

. Every person who drives or rides

in this vehicle should use a seat
belt at all times.

. 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 inju-
ries. 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 belt properly.
