Always wear seat belts. No systemcan prevent all injuries in any acci-dent.

Do not attach anything to the head

restraint stalks. Doing so could im-

pair active head restraint function.

The head restraint moves forward utilizing theforce that the seatback receives from the occu-pant in a rear-end collision. The movement of thehead restraint helps support the occupantshead by reducing its backward movement and

helping absorb some of the forces that may leadto whiplash type injuries.

Active head restraints are effective for collisionsat low to medium speeds in which it is said thatwhiplash injury occurs most.

Active head restraints operate only in certain

rear-end collisions. After the collision, the headrestraints return to their original positions.

Storing rear seat belt buckles

Before folding down the seat, put the buckles inthe storage of the seat cushion to avoid drop-ping it under the seat cushion.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

If, because of body size or driving position, it isnot possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder beltand fasten it, an extender is available. The ex-tender adds approximately 8 inches (200 mm) oflength and may be used for either the driver orfront passenger seating position. See a 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 seat

belts, should be used with NISSAN

seat belts. Adults and children who can use the

standard seat belt should not use an

extender. Such unnecessary usecould result in serious personal in-

jury in the event of an accident.

Never use seat belt extenders to in-

stall child restraints. If the child re-straint is not secured properly, the

child could be seriously injured in a

collision or a sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

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

If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt gu

the seat belt anchors, the seat beltsretract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt with a clean, dry cloth.

Periodically check to see that thebelt and the metal components subuckles, tongues, retractors, flexible and anchors work properly. If loose deterioration, cuts or other damage owebbing is found, the entire belt asseshould be replaced.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD

RESTRAINTS

WARNING

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.

Infants and small children should

never be carried on your lap. It is notpossible 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.

Never install a rear-facing child re-

straint in the front seat. An inflating

supplemental air bag could seriouslyinjure or kill your child. A rear facing

child restraint must only be used in

the rear seat.

NISSAN recommends that the childrestraint be installed in the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, chil-

dren are safer when properly re-

strained in the rear seat than in thefront seat.

An improperly installed child re-straint could lead to serious injury or

death in an accident.

In general, child restraints are designed to beinstalled with the lap portion of a three-point type

seat belt. In addition, this vehicle is equippedwith a universal child restraint lower anchorsystem, referred to as the LATCH (Lower An-chors and Tethers for CHildren) system. Somechild restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected tothese lower anchors. For details, see LATCH(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) SYS-TEM later in this section.

Child restraints for infants and children of varioussizes are offered by several manufacturers.When selecting any child restraint, keep thefollowing points in mind:

Choose only a restraint with a label certifyingthat it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard 213 or Canadian

Vehicle Safety Standard 213. Check the child restraint in your vehicle

sure it is compatible with the vehiclesand seat belt system.

If the child restraint is compatible withvehicle, place your child in the child res

and check the various adjustments to bethe child restraint is compatible withchild. Choose a child restraint that isigned for your childs height and wAlways follow all recommended proced

and use. When purchasing a childrestraint, be sure to select one whichwill fit your child and vehicle. It may

not be possible to properly install

some types of child restraints in yourvehicle.

If the child restraint is not anchoredproperly, 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.Push it from side to side. Try to tug it

forward and check to see if the belt

holds the restraint in place. The childrestraint should not move more than

1 inch (25 mm). If the restraint is notsecure, tighten the belt as necessary,or put the restraint in another seat

and test it again. You may need to try

a different child restraint. Not allchild restraints fit in all types of

vehicles.

If you must install a front facing childrestraint in the front seat, see Childrestraint installation on front passen-

ger seat later in this section for

details.

When your child restraint is not in

use, keep it secured with a seat beltto prevent it from being thrown

around in case of a sudden stop oraccident.

CAUTIONRemember that a child restraint left in a

closed vehicle can become very hot.

Check the seating surface and bucklesbefore placing your child in the child

restraint.

WARNING

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

or booster seat can result in serious

injury or death.

Infants and small children shouldnever be carried on your lap. It is not

possible for even the strongest adultto 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.

NISSAN recommends that the

booster seat be installed in the rear

seat. According to accident statistics,children are safer when properly re-

strained in the rear seat than in the

front seat.

A booster seat must only be instain a seating position that haslap/shoulder belt. Failure to us
