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 and
helping 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 certain
rear-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 NISSAN
seat 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 allowthe seat belts to retract until they are com-pletely dry.
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt gu
the seat belt anchors, the seat beltsretract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt with a clean, dry cloth.
Periodically check to see that thebelt and the metal components subuckles, tongues, retractors, flexible and anchors work properly. If loose deterioration, cuts or other damage owebbing is found, the entire belt asseshould be replaced.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Infants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while riding in the ve-hicle. Failure to use a child restraint
can result in serious injury or death.
Infants and small children should
never be carried on your lap. It is notpossible for even the strongest adult
to resist the forces of a severe acci-
dent. The child could be crushed be-tween the adult and parts of the ve-
hicle. Also, do not put the same seat
belt around both your child and your-self.
Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An inflating
supplemental air bag could seriouslyinjure or kill your child. A rear facing
child restraint must only be used in
the rear seat.
NISSAN recommends that the childrestraint be installed in the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in thefront seat.
An improperly installed child re-straint could lead to serious injury or
death in an accident.
In general, child restraints are designed to beinstalled with the lap portion of a three-point type
seat belt. In addition, this vehicle is equippedwith a universal child restraint lower anchorsystem, referred to as the LATCH (Lower An-chors and Tethers for CHildren) system. Somechild restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected tothese lower anchors. For details, see LATCH(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) SYS-TEM later in this section.
Child restraints for infants and children of varioussizes are offered by several manufacturers.When selecting any child restraint, keep thefollowing points in mind:
Choose only a restraint with a label certifyingthat it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Vehicle Safety Standard 213. Check the child restraint in your vehicle
sure it is compatible with the vehiclesand seat belt system.
If the child restraint is compatible withvehicle, place your child in the child res

and use. When purchasing a childrestraint, be sure to select one whichwill fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install
some types of child restraints in yourvehicle.
If the child restraint is not anchoredproperly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
Adjustable seatbacks should be po-
sitioned to fit the child restraint, but
as upright as possible.
After attaching the child restraint,
test it before you place the child in it.Push it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. The childrestraint should not move more than
1 inch (25 mm). If the restraint is notsecure, tighten the belt as necessary,or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try
a different child restraint. Not allchild restraints fit in all types of
vehicles.
If you must install a front facing childrestraint in the front seat, see Childrestraint installation on front passen-
ger seat later in this section for
details.
When your child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat beltto prevent it from being thrown
around in case of a sudden stop oraccident.
CAUTIONRemember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and bucklesbefore placing your child in the child
restraint.

WARNING
Infants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate

or booster seat can result in serious
injury or death.
Infants and small children shouldnever be carried on your lap. It is not
possible for even the strongest adultto resist the forces of a severe acci-dent. The child could be crushed be-
tween the adult and parts of the ve-

belt around both your child and your-
self.
NISSAN recommends that the
booster seat be installed in the rear
seat. According to accident statistics,children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
A booster seat must only be instain a seating position that haslap/shoulder belt. Failure to us

WARNING
The supplemental front air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
side impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision. Al-ways wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury invarious kinds of accidents.
The seat belts and the supplemental
front air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back andupright in the seat. Supplemental
front air bags inflate with great force.
If you are unrestrained, leaning for-ward, sitting sideways or out of posi-
tion in any way, you are at greaterrisk of injury or death in a crash. Youmay also receive serious or fatal in-
juries from the supplemental front air
bag if you are up against it when itinflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel or insment panel. Always use the sbelts.
The driver and front passenger s
belt buckles are equipped with s
sors that detect if the seat belts
fastened. The air bag system motors the severity of a collision
then inflates the air bags basedbelt usage. Failure to properly w
seat belts can increase the risk
severity of injury in an accident.
Keep hands on the outside of steering wheel. Placing them ins
the steering wheel rim could incre
the risk that they are injured wthe supplemental front air bag
flates.
Never let children ride unrestraior extend their hands or face ou
the window. Do not attempt to hthem in your lap or arms. Some

are shown in the previous illus
