PRECAUTIONS ON SEA T BEL T USAGE If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad- justed 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 a collision and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced.
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 ● 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 .
SEA T BEL T WARNING LIGHT Both the driver’s and passenger’s front seats are equipped with a seat belt warning light. The warning light, located on the instrument panel, will show the status of the driver and passenger seat belt. NO TE: The front passenger seat belt warning light will not light up if the seat is not occupied.
Fastening the seat belts 1. Adjust the seat. For additional information, refer to “Seats” in this section. 2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle 䊊 A until you hear and feel the latch engage. ● The retractor is designed to lock dur- ing a sudden stop or on impact.
3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the hips 䊊 B as shown. 4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack 䊊 C .
T o increase your confidence in the seat belts, check the operation as follows: ● Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly . The retractor should lock and re- strict further belt movement. If the retractor does not lock during this check or if you have any questions about seat belt opera- tion, see a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING ● Only NISSAN seat belt extenders, made by the same company which made the original equipment seat belts, should be used with NISSAN seat belts. ● Adults and children who can use the standard seat belt should not use an extender. Such unnecessary use could result in serious personal injury in the event of an accident.
There are three basic types of child restraint systems: ● Rear-facing child restraints ● Forward-facing child restraints ● Booster seats The proper restraint depends on the child’s size. Generally , infants up to about 1 year and less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints.
Once a child outgrows the height or weight limit of the harness-equipped forward-facing child re- straint, NISSAN recommends that the child be placed in a commercially available booster seat to obtain proper seat belt fit.
WARNING Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and do not allow a child in the cargo area. The child could be seriously injured or killed in a sudden stop or collision.
– NISSAN recommends that all child restraints be installed in the rear seat. Studies show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
● If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint and check the various adjustments to be sure the child restraint is compatible with your child. Choose a child restraint that is designed for your child’s height and weight.
– Inspect the lower anchors by insert- ing your fingers into the lower anchor area. Feel to make sure there are no obstructions over the anchors such as seat belt webbing or seat cushion material. The child restraint will not be secured properly if the lower an- chors are obstructed.
When installing a child restraint, carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual and those supplied with the child restraint. T op tether anchor point locations WARNING Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child restraint using the LA T CH system: 1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al- ways follow the child restraint manufactur- er’s instructions. 2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach- ments to the LA T CH lower anchors.
3. For child restraints that are equipped with webbing-mounted attachments, remove any additional slack from the anchor attach- ments. Press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint with your hand to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while tightening the webbing of the anchor attachments.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined weight of the child and the child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg) . If the combined weight of the child and the child restraint is greater than 65 lbs, (29.5 kg) use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the child restraint.
3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint mode) . It reverts to the ELR mode when the seat belt is fully retracted. 4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.
6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the seat belt path. The child restraint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from side to side. T ry to tug it forward and check to see if the belt holds the restraint in place.
3. The back of the child restraint should be secured against the vehicle seatback. If necessary , adjust or remove the head restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child restraint fit. If the head restraint/headrest is removed, store it in a secure place.
6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the LA T CH attachment path. The child re- straint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from side to side.
Rear bench seat 1. Remove the head restraint/headrest and store it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall the head restraint/headrest when the child restraint is removed. For additional informa- tion about head restraint/headrest adjust- ment, removal and installation, refer to “Head restraints/headrests” in this section.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear seats or in the front passenger seat: 1. If you must install a child restraint in the front seat, it should be placed in a forward-facing direction only.
4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint mode) . It reverts to ELR mode when the seat belt is fully retracted. 5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.
8. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the seat belt path. The child restraint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from side to side. T ry to tug it forward and check to see if the belt holds the restraint in place.
䊊 1 T op tether strap 䊊 2 Anchor point Installing top tether strap The child restraint top tether strap must be used when installing the child restraint with seat belts. First, secure the child restraint with the seat belt. Rear bench seat 1. Remove the head restraint/headrest and store it in a secure place.
A . Low back booster seat B. High back booster seat Booster seats of various sizes are offered by several manufacturers. When selecting any booster seat, keep the following points in mind: ● Choose .
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories require that infants and small children be restrained in an approved child restraint at all times while the vehicle is being operated. The instructions in this section apply to booster seat installation in the rear seats or the front passenger seat.
If the seating position does not have an adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is interfering with the proper booster seat fit, try another seating position or a different booster seat. 4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag system This system can help cushion the impact force to the head of occupants in front and rear outboard seating positions in certain side-impact or roll- over collisions. In a side impact, the curtain air bags are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.
● The driver and front passenger seat belt buckles are equipped with sensors that detect if the seat belts are fastened. The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System monitors the severity of a collision and seat belt usage then inflates the air bags as needed.
WARNING ● Never let children ride unrestrained or extend their hands or face out of the window. Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown.
WARNING ● Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat. An in- flating front air bag could seriously in- jure or kill your child. For additional information, refer to “Child restraints” in this section.
WARNING Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bags: ● The side air bags and curtain air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a frontal impact, rear impact, or lower severity side collision.
WARNING ● When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold onto the seatback of the front seat. If the side air bag inflates, you may be seriously injured. Be especially careful with children, who should always be properly restrained. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the illustrations.

cause irritation and choking. Those with a history of a breathing condition should get fresh air promptly . Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on the face and chest of the front occupants. They can help save lives and reduce serious injuries.
In addition to the above, certain objects placed on the front passenger seat may also cause the light to operate as described above depending on their weight.
used. If the air bag status light is not illuminated (indicating that the air bag might inflate in a crash) , it could be that the child restraint or seat belt is not being used properly . Make sure that the child restraint is installed properly , the seat belt is used properly and the occupant is posi- tioned properly.
NO TE: This vehicle’s occupant classification sen- sor system locks the classification during driving so it is important that you confirm that the front passenger is properly classi- fied prior to driving. Also, the occupant classification sensor system may recalcu- late the weight of the occupant when the vehicle comes to a stop (i.
NO TE: A system check will be performed during which the front passenger air bag status light will remain lit for about 7 seconds initially. If the light is still ON after this, the person should be advised not to ride in the front passenger seat and the vehicle should be checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
● T ampering with the front air bag system may result in serious personal injury. T ampering includes changes to the steering wheel and the instrument panel assembly by placing material over the steering wheel pad and above the instrument panel or by installing additional trim material around the air bag system.
the side where the vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in certain side collisions. Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in certain types of rollover collisions or near roll- overs. As a result, certain vehicle movements (for example, during severe off-roading) may cause the curtain air bags to inflate.
● T ampering with the side air bag system may result in serious personal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material near the seat- backs or by installing additional trim material, such as seat covers, around the side air bag.
The supplemental air bag warning light is used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner system. For additional information, refer to ⬙ Supplemental air bag warning light ⬙ in this sec- tion. If the operation of the supplemental air bag warning light indicates there is a malfunction, have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and preten- sioner systems need servicing: ● The supplemental air bag warning light re- mains on after approximately 7 seconds. ● The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently .
