SEAT BELTSSSS0136PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELTUSAGEIf you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted and you are sitting upright and well back inyour seat with both feet on the floor, your chancesof being injured or killed in an accident and/or theseverity of injury may be greatly reduced.NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of yourpassengers to buckle up every time you drive,even if your seating position includes a supplemental air bag.Most U.S. states and Canadian provincesor territories specify that seat belts be wornat all times when a vehicle is being driven.1-12 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
SSS0134WARNING Every person who drives or rides in thisvehicle should use a seat belt at alltimes. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child restraint.SSS0016WARNING The seat belt should be properly adjusted to a snug fit.

Serious injury or death can occurif the seat belt is not worn properly.Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-13
Be sure the seat belt tongue is securelyfastened to the proper buckle. Do not wear the seat belt inside out ortwisted. Doing so may reduce itseffectiveness. Do not allow more than one person touse the same seat belt.
