•
No modifications or additions should be made
by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to re-
move slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
•
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide
the protection for which they have been de-
signed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
•
Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely fas-
tened to the proper buckle.
•
Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted.
Doing so may reduce its effectiveness.
•
Do not allow more than one person to use the
same seat belt.
•
Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
•
Each belt assembly must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around
a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.
•
If the seat belt warning light illuminates con-
tinuously while the ignition switch is in the ON
position, with all doors closed, and all seat
belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction
in the system. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•
No changes should be made to the seat belt
system. For example, do not modify the seat
belt, add material, or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or tension. Doing
so may affect the operation of the seat belt
system. Modifying or tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious personal in-
jury.
•
Once a seat belt pre-tensioner has been acti-
vated, it cannot be reused and must be re-
placed together with the retractor. See a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•
Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system components should be done
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•
All seat belt assemblies, including retractors
and attaching hardware, should be inspected
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop af-
ter any collision. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion be replaced unless the collision was mi-
nor and the belts show no damage and con-
tinue to operate properly. Seat belt assem-
blies not in use during a collision should also
be inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
•
All child restraints and attaching hardware
should be inspected after any collision. Al-
ways follow the restraint manufacturer’s in-
spection instructions and replacement rec-
ommendations. The child restraints should be
replaced if they are damaged.
•
It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact even
if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
•
Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
CHILD SAFETY
Infants or small children
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
should be seated in a child restraint on the rear
seats if available. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. See “Child restraints”
later in this section. You should choose a child re-
straint system which fits your vehicle and always fol-
low the manufacturer’s instructions for installation
and use.
