WARNING
* Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis or
the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applic-
able; wearing the lap section of the belt
across the abdominal area must be
avoided. Serious injury may occur if a seat
belt is not worn properly.
* Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible around the hips, not the waist. A
lap belt worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an accident.
* Do not allow more than one person to use
the same seat belt. 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.
* Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
* Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts
should not be worn with straps twisted.
Doing so may reduce their effectiveness.
* Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to pro-
vide the protection for which they have
been designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to the
wearer.
* Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be properly restrained in
the rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child
restraint system.
* Do not put the belt behind your back or
under your arm. Always route the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your
chest. The belt should be away from your
face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder. Serious injury may occur if a seat
belt is not worn properly.
* No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either prevent
the seat belt adjusting devices from oper-
ating to remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
* Care should be taken to avoid contamina-
tion of the webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out using
mild soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed, con-
taminated or damaged.
* All seat belt assemblies including retrac-
tors and attaching hardware should be
inspected after any collision by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop. NISSAN re-
commends that all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision be replaced unless
the collision was minor and the belts show
no damage and continue to operate prop-
erly. Seat belt assemblies not in use during
a collision should also be inspected and,
when necessary, replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
* It is essential to replace the entire assem-
bly after it has been worn in a severe
impact even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
* Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has acti-
vated, it cannot be reused. It must be
replaced together with the retractor. Con-
tact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
