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 information,
refer to “Precautions on seat belt us-
age” in this section.

∙ After 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 se-
rious 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.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be

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 en-
gine is off. This will discharge the bat-
tery.

For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic drive positioner” in the “Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section of this
manual.

tion, refer to “Precautions on seat belt us-
age” in this section. Also, the seatback can
be reclined to allow occupants to rest
when the vehicle is stopped and the shift
lever is in P (Park).

WARNING

∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the

cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the fold-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury or death in an accident or
sudden stop.

∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

straps 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 returning the seatbacks to the

upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched po-
sition. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.

∙ Closely supervise children when they

are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
rear seatback and trunk lid securely
latched when not in use, and prevent
children’s access to car keys.

To fold down either side of the rear seat,
open the trunk and pull on the strap

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 after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach any-
thing to the head restraint/headrest
stalk, except for genuine NISSAN acces-
sories specifically tested for use with
the vehicle’s head restraint/headrest
stalk.

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 removed, reinstall and properly ad-
just 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 positions
equipped with head restraints/headrests.

䉱 Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.

䡲 Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a headrest.

+ Indicates the seating position is not
equipped with a head restraint or headrest
(if applicable).

restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
