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 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. See

“Precautions on seat belt usage”

(P.1-10).

. After adjustment, gently rock in

the seat to make sure it is se-

curely locked.

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could

unknowingly activate switches

or controls. Unattended children

could become involved in serious

accidents.

. To help avoid risk of injury or

death through unintended opera-

tion of the vehicle and/or its

systems, do not leave children,

people who require the assis-

tance of others or pets unat-

t e n d e d i n y o u r v e h i c l e .

Additionally, the temperature in-

side a closed vehicle on a warm

day can quickly become high

enough to cause a significant risk

of injury or death to people and

pets.

. The seatback should not be re-

clined any more than needed for

comfort. Seat belts are most ef-

fective 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 in-

creased.

CAUTION

. When adjusting the seat posi-

tions, be sure not to contact any

moving parts to avoid possible

injuries and/or damages.

SEATS

FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment

Operating tips:
. The power seat motor has an auto-

reset overload protection circuit. If the

motor stops during operation, wait 30

seconds, then reactivate the switch.

. Do not operate the power seat switch

for a long period of time when the

engine is off. This will discharge the

battery.

SSS0928

Forward and backward (if so equipped):
Moving the switch

forward or back-

ward will slide the seat forward or back-

ward to the desired position.
Reclining (if so equipped):
Move the recline switch

backward until

the desired angle is obtained. To bring the

seatback forward again, move the switch

The reclining feature allows adjustment

of the seatback for occupants of different

sizes for added comfort and to help

obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precau-

tions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10).) The

seatback may also be reclined to allow

occupants to rest when the vehicle is

stopped and the transmission is in the P

(Park) position or N (Neutral) position with

the parking brake fully applied.

WARNING

Head restraints/headrests supple-

ment the other vehicle safety sys-

tems. They may provide additional

protection against injury in certain

rear end collisions. Adjustable head

restraints/headrests must be ad-

justed properly, as specified in this

section. Check the adjustment after

someone else uses the seat. Do not

attach anything to the head re-

straint/headrest stalks or 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 posi-

tion. Failure to follow these instruc-

tions can reduce the effectiveness of

the head restraint/headrest. This

may increase the risk of serious

injury or death in a collision.

SSS1007

The illustration shows the seating posi-

tions equipped with head restraints/

headrests.

Indicates the seating position is

equipped with a head restraint.
. 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

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 re-

installed and locked in place before

riding in that designated seating posi-

tion.

SSS0508

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-

STRAINTS (if so equipped)

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 positions.
The front head restraints have multiple

adjustment notches.
Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints

as described 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

SSS0016

SSS0014

WARNING

. Every person who drives or rides

in this vehicle should use a seat

belt at all times.

. 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

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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.

. Do not allow children to play with

the seat belts. Most seating posi-

tions are equipped with Auto-

matic Locking Retractor (ALR)

mode seat belts. If the seat belt

becomes wrapped around a

child’s neck with the ALR mode

activated, the child can be ser-

iously injured or killed if the seat

belt retracts and becomes tight.

This can occur even if the vehicle

is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt

to release the child. If the seat

belt can not be unbuckled or is

already unbuckled, release the

child by cutting the seat belt with

a suitable tool (such as a knife or

scissors) to release the seat belt.
