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 a collision 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 provinces orterritories specify that seat belts be worn atall times when a vehicle is being driven.Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-11

SSS0134WARNING Every person who drives or rides in thisvehicle should use a seat belt at alltimes. Children should be in the rearseats and in an appropriate restraint.1-12 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint systemSSS0016WARNING The seat belt should be properly adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do so mayreduce the effectiveness of the entirerestraint system and increase thechance or severity of injury in an accident. Serious injury or death can occur ifthe seat belt is not worn properly.

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. Never carry more people in the vehiclethan there are seat belts.SSS0014WARNING Always route the shoulder belt overyour shoulder and across your chest.Never put the belt behind your back,under your arm or across your neck. Thebelt should be away from your face andneck, but not falling off your shoulder. Position the lap belt as low and snug aspossible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THEWAIST. A lap belt worn too high couldincrease the risk of internal injuries inan accident. If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the ignition is placed inthe ON position with all doors closedand all seat belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the system. Havethe system checked by a NISSANdealer. No changes should be made to the seatbelt system. For example, do not modifythe seat belt, add material, or installdevices that may change the seat beltrouting or tension. Doing so may affectthe operation of the seat belt system.Modifying or tampering with the seatbelt system may result in serious personal injury. Once seat belt pretensioners have activated, they cannot be reused and mustbe replaced together with the retractor.See a NISSAN dealer. Removal and installation of pretensioner system components should bedone by a NISSAN dealer. All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, shouldbe inspected after any collision by aNISSAN dealer. NISSAN recommendsthat all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless thecollision was minor and the belts showno damage and continue to operateproperly. Seat belt assemblies not inuse during a collision should also beinspected 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 restraintmanufacturer’s inspection instructionsand replacement recommendations.The child restraints should be replacedif they are damaged.Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-13
