Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

SSS0133

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 receive 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 belt properly. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10).

After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.

Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.

To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of
the vehicle and/or its systems, do
not leave children, people who re-
quire the assistance of others or
pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside
a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.

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 seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and being injured
is increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions,
be sure not to contact any moving
parts to avoid possible injuries and/
or damages.

FRONT SEATS

Front power seat adjustment

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 engine is off.
This will discharge the battery.

SSS0928

Forward and backward (if so equipped):

Moving the switch

forward or backward will

slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position.

Reclining (if so equipped):

Move the recline switch

backward until the

desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward again, move the switch

forward.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10).) The seatback may also be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is

stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park)
position or N (Neutral) position with the parking
brake fully applied.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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/head-
rests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or re-
move the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, rein-
stall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to
follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraint/
headrest. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.

SSS1007

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints/headrests.

Indicates the seating position is equipped

with a head restraint.

Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable.

Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them
in a desired adjustment position.

The non-adjustable head restraints/head-
rests have a single locking notch to secure
them to the seat frame.

Proper Adjustment:

— For the adjustable type, align the head

restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.

— If your ear position is still higher than the

recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.

If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINTS (if so equipped)

The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback receives
from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The
movement of the head restraint helps support
the occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said
that whiplash injury occurs most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original positions.

The front head restraints have multiple adjust-
ment notches.

Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints as
described in this section.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, 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 an accident
and/or the severity of injury may be greatly
reduced. NISSAN strongly encourages you and
all of your passengers to buckle up every time
you drive, even if your seating position includes a
supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories specify that seat belts be
worn at all times when a vehicle is being
driven.

WARNING

Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times.

The seat belt should be properly
adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do
so may reduce the effectiveness of
the entire restraint system and in-
crease the chance or severity of
injury in an accident. Serious injury
or death can occur if the seat belt is
not worn properly.

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. A lap belt
worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an acci-
dent.

Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper

buckle.

Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.

Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.

Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.

If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ON with all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may in-
dicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

No changes should be made to the
seat belt system. For example, do
not modify the seat belt, add mate-
rial or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or
tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the
seat belt system may result in
serious personal injury.

Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
