SEAT BELTS

Precautions on seat belt usage
Zhengzhou  NISSAN  strongly
encourages you and all of your
passengers  to  buckle  up  every
time you drive.
Your  chances  of  being  injured  in
an  accident  and  the  severity  of
injury  may  be  greatly  reduce  if
you  are  wearing  your  seat  belt
and it is properly adjusted.

Warning

●

Seat belts are designed to

bear upon the bony structure of
the  body,  and  should  be  worn
low  across  the  front  of  the
pelvis,  or  the  pelvis,  chest  and
shoulders,

applicable;

wearing  the  lap  section  of  the
belt  across  the  abdominal  area
must be avoided. Serious injury
can  occur  if  seat  belt  is  not
worn properly.

●

modifications

additions should be made

●

by the user which will

either prevent the seat belt
adjusting

devices

from

operating  to  remove  slack,  or
prevent  the  seat  belt  assembly
from  being  adjust  to  remove
slack.

●

Seat

belts

should

adjusted  as  firmly  as  possible,
consistent  with  comfort,  to
pro-vide  the  protection  for
which they have been designed.
A  slack  belt  will  greatly  reduce
the  protection  afforded  to  the
wearer. Care should be taken to
avoid  contamination  of  the
webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals,

and

particularly

battery  acid.  Cleaning  may
safely be carried out using mild
soap  and  water.  The  belt
should  be  replaced  if  webbing
becomes  frayed,  contaminated
or damaged.

●

It is essential to replace the

entire assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact

even if damage to the assembly
is not obvious.

●

Belts should not be worn

with straps twisted.

●

Each seat belt assembly

must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to
put a belt around a child being
carried on the occupant

’s lap.

●

All seat belt assemblies

including

retractors

and

attaching hardware should be
inspected after any collision at
your Zhengzhou NISSAN dealer.
Zhengzhou

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.

2-16 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Pregnant women
Zhengzhou NISSAN recommends
that  pregnant  women  use  seat
belts.  Contact  your  doctor  for
specific  recommendations.  The
lap belt should be worn snug and
positioned as low possible around
the hips, not the waist.

Injured persons
Zhengzhou NISSAN recommends
that  injured  persons  use  seat
belts,  depending  on  the  injury.
Check  with  your  doctor  for
specific recommendations.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
To clean the seat belt webbings,
apply a mild soap solution or any
solution

recommended

for

cleaning  upholstery  or  carpets.
Then  brush  it,  wipe  with  a  cloth
and  allow  it  to  dry  in  the  shade.
Do  not  allow  the  seat  belts  to
retract  until  they  are  completely
dry.
If  dirt  builds  up  in  the  shoulder
belt guide of the seat belt anchors,
the  seat  belts  may  retract  slowly.
Wipe the shoulder belt guide with

a clean, dry cloth.
Periodically check to see that the
seat

belt

and

the

metal

components  such  as  buckles,
tongues,  retractors,  flexible  wires
and  anchors  work  properly.  If
loose  parts,  deterioration,  cuts  or
other  damage  on  the  webbing  is
found,  the  entire  belt  assembly
should be replaced.

3-Point Type With Retractor

Fastening The Belts
1

， Adjust the seat

Warning

●

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 reclined,

the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and being injured is
increased.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pre-driving checks and adjustments 2-17

， Slowly pull the seat belt out

of the retractor and insert the
tongue into the buckle until it
snaps.
The  retractor  is  designed  to
lock  during  a  sudden  stop  or
on  impact.  A  slow  pulling
motion  will  permit  the  belt  to
move,  and  allow  you  some
freedom  of  movement  in  the
seat.
3

， Position the lap belt portion

low on the hips as shown.
4

， Pull the shoulder belt portion

toward the retractor to take up
extra slack.

Warning

●

The seat belt should rest

on the middle of the shoulder.
It must not rest against the
neck.

●

Make sure that the seat belt

is not twisted in any way.

Unfastening the belts
To unfasten the belt, press the
button on the buckle. The seat
belt will automatically retract.

Checking seat belt operation
Your seat belt retractors are
designed to lock belt movement
by two separate methods:
1

， When the belt is pulled

quickly from the retractor.
2

， When the vehicle slows down

rapidly.
To  increase  your  confidence  in
the  belts,  check  the  operation
as  follows:  Grasp  the  shoulder
belt  and  pull  quickly  forward.
The  retractor  should  lock  and
restrict further belt movement.
If  the  retractor  does  not  lock
during  these  checks  or  if  you
have  any  question  about  belt
operation  see  your  Zhengzhou
NISSAN dealer.

your  NISSAN  vehicle  is  charged
with  a  new  refrigerant  designed
with the environment in mind

This new refrigerant will not
harm the earth’s ozone layer.

However it may contribute in a
small part to global warming

Special charging equipment and
lubricant

are

required

when

servicing

your

NISSAN

air

conditioner.

Using

improper

refrigerants  or  lubricants  will
cause  severe  damage  to  your  air
conditioning  system.  See  “Air
