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 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.

● 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.

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.

WARNING

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 you hear and feel the latch engage. 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.

rized NISSAN dealer for assistance if the extender is required.

WARNING

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

● 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 ● 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.

● 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.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE- STRAINTS

WARNING

● Infants and small children should al- ways 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.

● 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 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.

● 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.

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

墌 墍

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

In general, child restraint systems are de- signed to be installed with a lap belt or the lap portion of a three-point type seat belt. In addition, this vehicle is equipped with a universal child restraint lower anchor sys- tem, referred to as the LATCH (Lower An- chors and Tether for Children) system. Some child restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected to these lower anchors. For de- tails, see ‘‘LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether for Children) system’’ later in this section. 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.

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 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

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

● 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.

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

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

● 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 re- straint in another seat and test it again.

● 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.

● 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.

LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS AND TETHER FOR CHILDREN) SYSTEM

● The LATCH system anchors are de- signed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child re- straints. Under no circumstance are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses.

Some child restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected to two anchors located at certain seating positions in your vehicle. This sys- tem is known as the LATCH (Lower An- chors and Tether for Children) system. This system may also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible system. With this system, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child re- straint. Your vehicle is equipped with spe- cial anchor points that are used with LATCH system compatible child restraints. Check your child restraint for a label stating that it is compatible with the LATCH system. This information may also be in the child restraint owner’s manual. If you have such a child restraint, refer to the illustration for the rear seating positions equipped with LATCH system anchors which can be used to se- cure the child restraint.

WRS0095

WARNING!

● Attach LATCH system compatible child restraints only at the locations shown. If a child restraint is not se- cured properly, your child could be seriously injured or killed in an acci- dent.

● Do not secure a child restraint in the center rear seating position using the LATCH system anchors. The child restraint will not be secured properly.

LRS0089

Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems 1-67

墌 墍

The LATCH system anchors are located at the rear of the seat cushion near the seat- back. A label is attached to the seatback to help you locate the LATCH system anchors. Some child restraints may also require the use of a top tether strap. See ‘‘Top Tether Strap Child Restraint’’ later in this section for installation instructions. When installing a child restraint, carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual and those supplied with the child restraint. When you install a LATCH system compat- ible child restraint with lower anchor attach- ments in the rear seat, follow these steps:

WARNING!

Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your fingers into the lower anchor area and feeling to make sure there are no obstructions over the LATCH system anchors, such as seat belt webbing or seat cushion material. The child re- straint will not be secured properly if the LATCH system anchors are ob- structed.

1. To install the LATCH system compatible child restraint, insert the child restraint LATCH system anchor attachments into the anchor points on the rear seat. If the child restraint is equipped with a top tether, see ‘‘Top Tether Strap Child Re- straint’’ later in this section for installation instructions.

2. After attaching the child restraint and before placing the child in it, use force to tilt the child restraint from side to side and tug it forward to make sure that the child restraint is securely held in place.

3. Check to make sure that the child re- straint is properly secured prior to each use.

● 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.

● 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.

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.

Securing the child Before using the integrated child safety seats, carefully read the shoulder har- ness, seatback release, and integrated child safety seat cushion labels. The following steps apply to both the left and right integrated child safety seats. 1. Be sure your child meets all of the re- quired age, weight and height require- ments for the safe use of the integrated child safety seat.

2. Be sure the second row bench seat is securely latched to the floor of the ve- hicle. Refer to ‘‘Flexible seating’’ in this section for proper seat installation proce- dures.

3. Be sure the second row bench seatback is locked by grasping it and trying to rock it back and forth. Also, check that the seatback release lever is in the full down position.

WARNING

The automatic locking mode (child re- straint mode) must be reactivated each time you place a child in the integrated child safety seats.

In addition to the automatic locking retrac- tors, the integrated child safety seat shoul- der harnesses are equipped with emer- gency locking retractors. The automatic locking mode is best to use, especially for children who need help staying properly positioned in the seat and its harnesses (for example, children who are younger and smaller), because the belts are always locked. 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.

Integrated Child Safety Seat main- tenance ● 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.

● 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.

● If the brake fluid level is below the MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake- fluid reservoir, do not drive until the brake system has been checked at a NISSAN dealer.

Anti-lock brake warning light If the light comes on while the engine is running, it may indicate the anti-lock portion of the brake system is not functioning prop- erly. Have the system checked by an autho- rized NISSAN dealer. If a malfunction occurs in the system, the anti-lock function turns off, but the brakes continue to operate normally. If the light comes on while you are driv- ing, contact an authorized NISSAN dealer for repair.

Low fuel warning light

This light comes on when the fuel level in the fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches E (Empty). There will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches E (Empty).

INDICATOR LIGHTS

Overdrive off indicator light

This light comes on during driving when the overdrive switch is pressed to prevent over- drive operation (4th gear). The O/D OFF indicator light comes on for two seconds each time the ignition key is turned ON. This shows the light is function- ing properly. If the O/D OFF indicator light blinks for approximately 8 seconds after coming on for 2 seconds, have an authorized NISSAN dealer check the transmission and repair it if necessary. The automatic transmission is equipped with an electronic Fail-Safe mode. This sys- tem allows the vehicle to be driven even in the event of damage to the electrical cir- cuits. If this occurs, the transmission may default to third gear in drive range. NOTE: See ‘‘Fail-safe’’ in the ‘‘Starting and driving’’ section of this manual before visit- ing an authorized NISSAN dealer.
