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 right passenger seating position. See your NISSAN dealer for assistance if the ex- tender is required.

WARNING

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

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS

WARNING

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 Infants and small children should never be carried on your lap. It is not possible for even the strongest adult to resist the forces of a severe acci- dent. The child could be crushed be- tween the adult and parts of the ve- hicle. Also, do not put the same seat belt around both your child and your- self.

I Never install a rear facing child re- straint in the front seat. An inflating supplemental front air bag could se- riously injure or kill your child. A rear facing child restraint must only be used in the rear seat.

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 installed with a lap belt or the lap portion of a three point type seat belt. Child restraints for infants and children of various sizes are of- fered by several manufacturers. When select- ing any child restraint, keep the following points in mind: I 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.

I Check the 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.

Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems 1-31

Z 00.1.17/R50-D/V5 X

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

CAUTION

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.

I 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 US states and Canadian provinces re- quire that infants and small children be restrained in approved child restraints at all times while the vehicle is being oper- ated.

WARNING

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.

I If the child restraint is not anchored

properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.

I Adjustable seatbacks should be posi- 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 three-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. If you must install a front facing child re- straint in the front seat, see later in “Child restraints” for installation on front passenger seat.

Have the vehicle inspected

by an authorized NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.

I Malfunction indicator lamp blinking — An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the emission control system. To reduce or avoid emission control system damage:

* do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH (72

km/h).

* avoid hard acceleration or deceleration. * avoid steep uphill grades. * if possible, reduce the amount of cargo

being hauled or towed.

The malfunction indicator lamp may stop blink- ing and come on steady.

Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.

CAUTION

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM The Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System will not allow the engine to start without the use of the registered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys- tem key. If the engine fails to start using the registered

Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key (for example, when interference is caused by an- other Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an automated toll road device or automated payment device on the key ring), restart the engine using the following procedures:

1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position

for approximately 5 seconds.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately 5 seconds.

3. Repeat step 1 and 2.

4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference) separate from the registered Nissan Ve- hicle Immobilizer System key.

If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN recommends placing the registered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key on a separate key ring to avoid interference from other de- vices. Statement related to section 15 of FCC rules for Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys- tem (CONT ASSY - IMMOBILIZER) This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry

Canada. Operation is subject to the follow- ing two conditions; (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must ac- cept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired op- eration of the device.
