WARNING

WARNING

c 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 acci- dent you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious inju- ries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

c For most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat and adjust the seat belt properly.

Use of the second row three-point seat belts by third row passengers could increase the chance or severity of in- jury in a sudden stop or an accident.

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac- tor 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 permits the belt to move, and allows you some freedom of move- ment in the seat.

Third row passenger shoulder belts are located slightly behind the third row seating position. Never try to use the seat belts for the second row passen- gers which are in front of the three- passenger bench seat.

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 front seat lap belts and fasten them, an extender is available which is compatible with the in- stalled seat belts. The extender adds ap- proximately 8 inches (200 mm) of length and may be used for either the driver or front passenger seating position. See an autho-

1-40 Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems

rized NISSAN dealer for assistance if the extender is required.

WARNING

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

c 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 c To clean the seat belt webbings, apply a mild soap solution or any solution rec- ommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they are completely dry.

c If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoul- der belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

Z X

c 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 dam- age on the webbing is found, the entire seat belt assembly should be replaced.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

WARNING

c Infants and small children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint system while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint can result in serious injury or death.

c 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 between the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the same seat belt around both your child and yourself.

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

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

c In general, child restraint systems 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 offered by several manu- facturers. When selecting any child re- straint, keep the following points in mind: 1) Choose only a restraint with a label cer- tifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Cana- dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. 2) Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehi- cle’s seat and seat belt system. Choose a child restraint that meets the guidelines of the Society of Automotive Engineers recommended practice J1819 for child seat installation.

Z X

c NISSAN recommends that the child restraint be installed in a rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re- strained in a rear seat than in a front seat.

3) If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint and check the various adjust- ments to be sure the child restraint is Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems 1-41

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.

compatible with your child. Always follow all recommended procedures.

All U.S. states and some provinces or territories of Canada require that infants and small children be restrained in ap- proved child restraints at all times while the vehicle is being operated.

WARNING

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

c Follow all of

the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for in- stallation 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.

c If the child restraint is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.

c Adjustable seatbacks should be po- sitioned to fit the child restraint, but as upright as possible.

c 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.

c 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 shoul- der 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 restraint in the front seat, see ‘‘Installation on front pas- senger seat’’ later in this section.

c 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.

Refer to ‘‘Child Restraints’’ and ‘‘Precautions On Seat Belt Usage’’ in this section for important child safety information.

INTEGRATED CHILD SAFETY SEATS (if so equipped)

WARNING

c Failure to follow the instructions for the use of these integrated child safety seats can result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash, causing the injury or death of your child.

c Improper use of a child restraint can increase the risk or severity of injury for both the child and other occu- pants of the vehicle.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces require that infants and small children be restrained in approved child restraints at all times while the vehicle is being oper- ated. The optional second row bench seat con- tains two integrated child safety seats. These seats are designed for use only by children who weigh between 22 and 60
pounds (10-27 kg) and whose height is 45
inches (1145 mm) or less and who are capable of sitting upright alone.

c Before placing the child in the inte- grated child safety seat, confirm that the bench seatback is securely locked and the seatback release le- ver is in full down position.

c Always make sure the integrated child safety seat belts are properly positioned on your child. The child should sit straight up and back against the bench seat. The shoulder harnesses should be centered over the shoulders and fastened with the chest clip. The belt buckle should be between the legs and latched to the shoulder belt tongue. Snugly adjust the belts around your child. Failure to properly position the child can increase the risk or severity of injury to the child in an accident.

Using the Integrated Child Safety Seats

WARNING:

c Never use the vehicle seat belts to restrain a child in an integrated child

safety seat. Use only the shoulder- harness and belt buckle which is part of the integrated child safety seat. Never use the integrated child safety seat as a booster cushion with the vehicle seat belts.

In the emergency locking mode, the shoulder belts only lock in a sudden stop or accident, allowing a child more freedom of movement. Use the emergency locking mode only if you judge your child able to remain properly positioned in the integrated child safety seat. Removing the child 1. Release the chest clip. 2. Release the left and right shoulder har-

3. Move the left and right shoulder har- nesses aside and assist the child from the integrated child safety seat.

Storing the Integrated Child Safety Seat 1. Be sure the shoulder harnesses are fully retracted and resting inside the inte- grated child safety seat recess. It is not necessary to reconnect the shoulder har- nesses and belt buckle prior to storing the integrated child safety seat.

2. While holding onto, but not pulling, the cushion release strap, rotate the cushion upward until it fits flush with the second row seat back cushion and locks into position.

3. Be sure the integrated child safety seat is locked in the stowed position by grasping the safety seat cushion and attempting to lower it without pulling the cushion re- lease strap. If the integrated child safety seat is not locked in the stowed position, repeat steps one through three.

c Periodically inspect the belt and metal components of the integrated child safety seats, such as the buckles, tongues, shoulder harness webbings, and latching indicators. Periodically check the func- tion of the integrated child safety seat shoulder harness retractor functions. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts, frays, malfunctions or other damage to the belt webbings or metal parts are found, see an authorized NISSAN dealer for repairs.

Inspection after an accident If your vehicle was involved in an accident, before using the integrated child safety seats, all related components should be inspected for damage by an authorized NIS- SAN dealer. Damage to the integrated child safety seat or related components must be repaired.

Integrated Child Safety Seat main- tenance c To clean the shoulder harnesses and belt buckle webbing, apply a mild soap solu- tion or any solution recommended 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 shoulder harnesses to retract until they are completely dry.

c The integrated child safety seats cloth removable pads may be cleaned with mild soap and water. The cloth remov- able pads are attached to the seats with fastener strips, and may be easily re- moved. The pads are machine washable. Fo best results, machine wash in cold water in the gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not use chlorine bleach, and do not dry clean.

CAUTION

Failure to follow the washing instruc- tions provided on the cloth removable pads may result in premature wear or damage.

SEATS/FLOOR MATS

SEATING ARRANGEMENTS Many different arrangements for passenger seating or cargo hauling are available as you will see in the following illustrations. The second row seats may be removed and the third row seat may be moved forward to the second row seating position. The second and third row seats have an optional fold- down table-top feature. This offers a variety of uses for the vehicle when moving or stopped. The illustrations shown reflect the different seating positions available. Before you begin to arrange the seats in your vehicle, read all of the cautions and warnings in this chapter, including the following section on the removable floor mats. Also observe any labels that are in the vehicle.

WARNING

c While the vehicle is in motion, pas- sengers should always be seated in a forward facing direction in a seat which is properly secured and ad- justed. Seat belts should always be used. Sitting without a seat belt in a seat that is not properly secured in one of the locations shown in this chapter, or in a place without a seat and seat belt can result in personal injury in a sudden stop or collision. c 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 acci- dent, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious inju- ries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

c For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat and adjust the seat belt properly.

c It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these ar- eas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

c Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. c Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt prop- erly.

c Do not place hard items such as coffee mugs or drinking glasses on the tabletop seats when the vehicle is moving. Any item can become a projectile inside a vehicle involved in a collision. To help prevent personal injury, never leave loose items on the fold-down tabletop seats when the vehicle is moving.

Push the positioning pins into the seat tracks to ensure correct installation, then straighten the mats as necessary. The step mat has holes in addition to pins. When the mats are arranged properly, the positioning pins of the two mats on either side of the step mat should fit through the holes in the step mat and into the seat track.

WARNING

c No occupant should ride in a vehicle seat unless it is in a normal riding arrangement and the seat belts are properly used.

c It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these ar- eas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

c Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seat- backs. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per- sonal injury.
