SEAT BELTS
1-10 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
Trang 28쐌 Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times.
쐌 The seat belt should be properly
ad-justed to a snug fit Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury in
an accident Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
쐌 Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck.
The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
쐌 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.
쐌 Be sure the seat belt tongue is curely fastened to the proper buckle.
se-쐌 Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted Doing so may reduce its effectiveness.
쐌 Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
쐌 Never carry more people in the hicle than there are seat belts This vehicle has only two seating posi- tions Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area.
ve-쐌 If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the ignition is turned ONwith all doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it may indi- cate a malfunction in the system Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

pre-tensioner seat belt system
compo-nents should be done by a NISSAN

쐌 All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any
colli-sion by a NISSAN dealer NISSAN
recommends that all seat belt
as-semblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was mi- nor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use ing a collision should also be in- spected and replaced if either dam- age or improper operation is noted.

this vehicle Do not attempt to hold
them in your lap or arms.
쐌 Never let a child stand or kneel on
any seat and do not allow a child in
the cargo areas while the vehicle is

Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental
front impact air bag system for the front
passen-ger See “Supplemental restraint system” later in
this section Therefore, children 12 or under
should not ride in this vehicle without installing
an air bag ON/OFF switch
OBTAINING AN AIR BAG ON/OFF

may be eligible to have an air bag ON/OFF
switch installed US and Canadian governments
have procedures that allow you to apply forpermission to have your vehicle fitted with an airbag ON/OFF switch Such a switch is availablefor purchase from NISSAN If you have ques-tions about the government application proce-dures, contact the NISSAN Consumer AffairsDepartment listed earlier in this manual
AFTER AN AIR BAG ON/OFF SWITCH IS INSTALLED

Trang 31systems should be seated and restrained by the
seat belts which are provided The seat belt may
not fit properly if the child is less than 4 feet 9
inches (142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40
lbs (18 kg) and 80 lbs (36 kg) A booster seat
should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit
NISSAN recommends that a child be placed in a
commercially available booster seat if the
shoul-der belt in the child’s seating position fits close
to the face or neck or if the lap portion of the seat
belt goes across the abdomen The booster seat
should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is
properly positioned across the top, middle
por-tion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low on the
hips A booster seat can only be used in seating
positions that have a three-point type seat belt
The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and
have a label certifying that it complies with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or
Ca-nadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Once
the child has grown so the shoulder belt is no
longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat

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

Such unnecessary use could result in
serious personal injury in the event
of an accident.
쐌 Never use seat belt extenders to
