vehicle and the child, and always follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use.
Large children
WARNING
•
Never allow children to stand or kneel on any
seats.
•
Never allow children in the luggage area while
the vehicle is moving. A child could be seri-
ously injured in an accident or sudden stop.
Children who are too large for a child restraint sys-
tem should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts that are provided.
If the child’s seating position has a shoulder belt that
fits close to the face or neck, the use of a booster
seat (commercially available) may help overcome
this. The booster seat should raise the child so that
the shoulder belt is properly positioned across the
top, middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt
is low on the hips. The booster seat should also fit
the vehicle seat. Once the child has grown so that
the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face or
neck of the child, use the shoulder belt without the
booster seat. In addition, there are many types of
child restraint systems available for larger children
that should be used for maximum protection.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never
run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.
Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat
belts. Contact your doctor for specific recommen-
dations.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS
Fastening seat belts
WARNING
The seatback should not be in a reclined position
any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well back
and straight up in the seat.
1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” earlier in this sec-
tion.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and
insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear
and feel the latch engage.
•
The retractor is designed to lock during a sud-
den stop or on impact. A slow pulling motion
permits the belt to move, and allows you some
freedom of movement in the seat.
•
If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully
retracted position, firmly pull the belt and re-
lease it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of the
retractor.
3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the
hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retrac-
tor to take up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is routed over your shoulder and is snug
across your chest.
