(For front seats) The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position best for you. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”.) To adjust, squeeze the release buttons, and then move it to the desired position, so that the belt passes over the center of the shoulder. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off of your shoulder.

2. To lengthen, hold the tongue at a right angle to the belt and pull on the belt. To shorten, pull the end of the belt attached to the belt clip away from the tongue, and then pull the belt clip to take up the slack.


3. Position the lap belt low and snug on the


hips as illustrated.


Unfastening the belts To unfasten the belt, press the button on the buckle.


SEAT BELT EXTENDERS If, because of body size or driving position, it is not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender is available which is compatible with the installed seat belts. The extender adds approximately 8 inches (200
mm) of length and may be used for either the driver or front passenger seating position. See your NISSAN dealer for assistance if the ex- tender is required.


I Only NISSAN belt extenders, made by the same company which made the original equipment belts, should be used with NISSAN belts.


I Persons 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.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE I To clean the seat belt webbings, apply a mild soap solution or any solution recom- mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then brush the webbing, wipe it with a cloth and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they are com- pletely dry.


I 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.


I 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.


CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR INFANTS AND SMALL CHILDREN


I Infants and small children should al- ways be placed in an appropriate child restraint while riding in the ve- hicle. Failure to use a child restraint can result in serious injury or death. I Children and infants should never be carried on your lap. It is not possible for even the strongest adult to resist the forces of a severe accident. The child could be crushed between the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the same seat belt around both your child and yourself.


I Nissan recommends that the child restraint be installed in the rear seat. According to accident statistics, chil- dren are safer when properly re- strained in the rear seat than in the front seat.


I An improperly installed child re- straint could lead to serious injury or death in an accident.


In general, child restraints are designed to be


2-31


installed with a lap belt or the lap portion of a three-point type seat belt. Child restraints specially designed for infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. When selecting any child re- straint, keep the following points in mind:


1) Choose only a restraint with a label certify- ing that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.


2) Check that child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat and seat belt system. Choose a child restraint that meets the guidelines of the Society of Automotive Engineers recom- mended practice J1819 for child restraint installation.


3) If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child re- straint and check the various adjustments to be sure the child restraint is compatible with your child. Always follow all recom- mended procedures.


All U.S. states and provinces of Canada require that infants and small children be restrained in approved child restraints at all times while the vehicle is being oper- ated.


Z 01.2.1/A32-D X


Remember that a child restraint left in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in the child restraint.


tioned to fit the child restraint, but as upright as possible.


I After attaching the child restraint, test it before you place the child in it. Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it forward and check to see if the belt holds the restraint in place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt as necessary, or put the restraint in another seat and test it again.


I For a front facing child restraint, if the seat position where it is installed has a 3-point type lap/shoulder belt, check to make sure the shoulder belt does not go in front of the child’s face or neck. If it does, put the shoulder belt behind the child restraint.


I When your child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent from being thrown around in case of a sudden stop or accident.


it


I Never install a rear-facing child re- straint in the front seat. An inflating supplemental air bag could seriously injure or kill your child. A rear-facing child restraint must only be used in the rear seat. See “Installation on front passenger seat” for details.


I Improper use of a child restraint can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occu- pants in the vehicle.


I Follow all of the child restraint manu- facturer’s instructions for installation and use. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure to select one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may not be possible to properly install some types of child restraints in your vehicle.

To turn the radio on, turn the ignition key to “ACC” or “ON”. If you listen to the radio with the engine not running, turn the key to the “ACC” position. Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, build- ings, bridges, mountains and other external influences. Intermittent changes in reception quality normally are caused by these external influences.


Servicing air conditioner The air conditioning system in your NISSAN vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone layer. How- ever, special charging equipment and lubricant are required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lu- bricants will cause severe damage to your air conditioning system. See AIR CONDITION- ING SYSTEM REFRIGERANT AND LUBRI- CANT RECOMMENDATIONS in the TECHNI- CAL AND CONSUMER INFORMATION section of this manual.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING


Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets alone in your vehicle. They could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent operation of the ve- hicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, tem- peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.


EXHAUST GAS (Carbon Monoxide)


Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con- tain colorless and odorless carbon mon- oxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death. I If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, drive with all windows fully open, and have the vehicle inspected immediately.


I Do not run the engine in closed


spaces such as a garage.


I Do not park the vehicle with the en- gine running for any extended length of time.


I Keep the trunk lid, or back door closed while driving, otherwise ex- haust gases could be drawn into the passenger compartment. If you must drive in this manner for some reason, take the following steps.


1. Open all the windows.


2. Set


the air


recirculate switch “OFF” and the fan control at “high” to circulate the air.


monoxide entry into the vehicle. (Some recreational vehicle appli- ances such as stoves, refrigerator, heaters, etc. may also generate car- bon monoxide.)


I The exhaust system and body should be inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:


a. The vehicle is raised for service.


b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compartment.


c. You notice a change in the sound


3. Be sure the rear seat armrest and

tray are closed.


I If electrical wiring or other cable con- nections must pass to a trailer through the seal on the trunk lid or the body, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.


I If a special body or other equipment is added for recreational or other us- age, follow the manufacturer’s rec- ommendation to prevent carbon


4-2


d. You have had an accident involv- ing damage to the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the vehicle.


THREE WAY CATALYST The three way catalyst is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. Ex- haust gases in the converter are burned at high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.


Z 01.2.1/A32-D X


I The exhaust gas and the exhaust sys- tem are very hot. Keep people or flammable materials away from the exhaust pipe.


I Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.


I Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits from leaded gasoline seriously re- duce the three way catalyst’s ability to help reduce exhaust pollutants.


I Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc- tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical systems can cause over- rich fuel flow into the converter, caus- ing it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance or other unusual operating conditions are detected. Have the vehicle inspected promptly


by an authorized NISSAN dealer.


I Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damag- ing the three way catalyst.


I Do not race the engine while warming


it up.


I Do not push or tow your vehicle to


start the engine.


AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLLOVER


Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and prudent manner may result in loss of control or an accident.


Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed, high speed cornering, or sudden steer- ing maneuvers, because these driving prac- tices could cause you to lose control of your vehicle. As with any vehicle, a loss of con- trol could result in a collision with other vehicles or objects, or cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if the loss of control causes the vehicle to slide sideways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid driving when tired. Never drive when under the influence of alcohol or drugs (including prescription or over-the-counter drugs which may cause drowsiness). Always wear your seat belt as outlined in the “Seat Belts” section of this manual, and also instruct your passengers to do so.


4-3


Z 01.2.1/A32-D X


DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND DRIVING


IGNITION SWITCH


Never drive under the influence of alco- hol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood stream reduces coordination, delays re- action time and impairs judgment. Driv- ing after drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of being involved in an acci- dent injuring yourself and others. Addi- tionally, if you are injured in the accident alcohol can increase the severity of injury.


Nissan is committed to safe driving. But, you must choose not to drive under the influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are injured or killed in alcohol related accidents. Although the local laws vary on what is con- sidered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol affects all people differently and most people underestimate the effects of alcohol. Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And that’s true for drugs too (over the counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical
