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

Properly adjust the active head restraints asdescribed in the previous section.

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 NISSANseat 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 allow

the seat belts to retract until they are com-pletely dry.

If dirt builds up in the shoulder

After attaching the child restraint,test it before you place the child in it.Push it from side to side while hold-ing the seat near the LATCH attach-ment or by the seat belt path. Try totug it forward and check to see if thebelt holds the restraint in place. Thechild restraint should not move morethan 1 in (25 mm). If the restraint isnot secure, tighten the belt as neces-

sary, or put the restraint in anotherseating position and test it again.You may need to try a different childrestraint. Not all child restraints fit inall types of vehicles.

When your child restraint is not inuse, keep it secured with the LATCHSystem or a seat belt to prevent it

from being thrown around in case ofa sudden stop or accident.

CAUTIONRemember that a child restraint left in aclosed vehicle can become very hot.

Check the seating surface and buckles

before placing your child in the childrestraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal childrestraint lower anchor system, referred to as theLower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren Systemor LATCH. Some child restraints include tworigid or webbing-mounted attachments that canbe connected to these lower anchors. For de-tails, see Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHil-dren System (LATCH) in this section.

If you do not have a LATCH compatible childrestraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used. SeeChild restraint installed using the seat belts

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATIONUSING THE SEAT BELTS

WARNING

Even with the NISSAN Advanced AirBag System, never install a rear-

facing child restraint in the front pas-

senger seat. Supplemental front airbags inflate with great force. A rear-

facing child restraint could be struck

by the supplemental front air bag in a

crash and could seriously injure or

kill your child.

NISSAN recommends that child re-straints be installed in the rear seat.

However, if you must install a for-

ward facing child restraint in the frontpassenger seat, move the passenger

seat to the rearmost position. Also,

be sure the front passenger air bagstatus light is illuminated to indicate

the passenger air bag is OFF. See

Front passenger air bag and statuslight in this section for details.

The three-point seat belt in your ve-hicle is equipped with an automatic

locking mode retractor which must

be used when installing a child re-straint.

Failure to use the retractors lockingmode will result in the child restraint

not being properly secured. The re-straint could tip over or otherwise be

unsecured and cause injury to the

Adjustable seatbacks should be po-

sitioned to fit the booster seat, but asupright as possible.

After placing the child in the booster

seat and fastening the seat belt,

make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the childs faceand neck and the lap portion of the

belt does not cross the abdomen.

Do not put the shoulder belt behind

the child or under the childs arm. Ifyou must install a booster seat in the

the crash zone sensor, the diagnosis sensor unit,seat belt buckle switches, occupant classifica-

tion sensor (pressure sensor) and passengerseat belt tension sensor. Inflator operation isbased on the severity of a collision and seat beltusage of the driver. For the front passenger, itadditionally monitors the weight of an occupantor object on the seat and seat belt tension.

Based on information from the sensors, only onefront air bag may inflate in a crash, depending onthe crash severity and whether the front occu-pants are belted or unbelted. Additionally, thefront passenger air bag may be automaticallyturned OFF under some conditions, dependingon the weight detected on the passenger seatand how the seat belt is used. If the frontpassenger air bag is OFF, the passenger air bagstatus light will be illuminated (if the seat isunoccupied, the light will not be illuminated, butthe air bag will be off.). See Front passenger airbag and status light later in this section for

further details. One front air bag inflating doesnot indicate improper performance of the sys-tem.

If you have any questions about your air bagsystem, contact NISSAN or a NISSAN dealer. Ifyou are considering modifications of your vehicle

due to a disability, you may also contactNISSAN. Contact information is contained in the

front of this Owners Manual.

When a supplemental front air bag inflates, afairly loud noise may be heard, followed byrelease of smoke. This smoke is not harmful anddoes not indicate a fire. Care should be taken tonot inhale it, as it may cause irritation andchoking. Those with a history of a breathingcondition should get fresh air promptly.

Supplemental front air bags, along with the useof seat belts, help to cushion the impact force onthe head and chest of the front occupants. Theycan help save lives and reduce serious injuries.However, an inflating front air bag may causefacial abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags

do not provide restraint to the lower body.Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat beltsshould be correctly worn and the driver andpassenger seated upright as far as practicalaway from the steering wheel or instrumentpanel. The supplemental front air bags inflate

quickly in order to help protect the front occu-pants. Because of this, the force of the front airbag inflating can increase the risk of injury if theoccupant is too close to, or is against, the frontair bag module during inflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.

The supplemental front air bags operate

only when the ignition switch or START position.

After turning the ignition switcposition, the supplemental air light illuminates. The supplemewarning light will turn off af
