Storing rear seat belt bucklesBefore folding down the seat, put the buckles inthe storage of the seat cushion to avoid drop-ping it under the seat cushion.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERSIf, 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 whichmade the original equipment seatbelts, should be used with NISSAN seat belts.

Adults and children who can use the standard seat belt should not use anextender. Such unnecessary usecould result in serious personal in-jury in the event of an accident.

Never use seat belt extenders to install child restraints. If the child restraint is not secured properly, thechild could be seriously injured in acollision 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 shoulde

After attaching the child restraint,test it before you place the child in it.Push it from side to side while hold-ing the seat near the LATCH attach-ment or by the seat belt path. Try totug it forward and check to see if thebelt holds the restraint in place. Thechild restraint should not move morethan 1 in (25 mm). If the restraint isnot secure, tighten the belt as neces- sary, or put the restraint in another seating position and test it again.You may need to try a different childrestraint. Not all child restraints fit inall types of vehicles.

When your child restraint is not inuse, keep it secured with the LATCHSystem or a seat belt to prevent it

from being thrown around in case ofa sudden stop or accident.

CAUTIONRemember that a child restraint left in aclosed vehicle can become very hot.Check the seating surface and bucklesbefore placing your child in the childrestraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal childrestraint lower anchor system, referred to as theLower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren Systemor LATCH. Some child restraints include tworigid or webbing-mounted attachments that canbe connected to these lower anchors. For de-tails, see Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHil-dren System (LATCH) in this section.

If you do not have a LATCH compatible childrestraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used. SeeChild restraint installed using the seat belts

Based on information from the sensors, only onefront air bag may inflate in a crash, depending onthe crash severity and whether the front occu-pants are belted or unbelted. Additionally, thefront passenger air bag may be automaticallyturned OFF under some conditions, dependingon the weight detected on the passenger seatand how the seat belt is used. If the frontpassenger air bag is OFF, the passenger air bagstatus light will be illuminated (if the seat isunoccupied, the light will not be illuminated, butthe air bag will be off.). See Front passenger airbag and status light later in this section for

further details. One front air bag inflating doesnot indicate improper performance of the sys-tem.

If you have any questions about your air bagsystem, contact NISSAN or a NISSAN dealer. Ifyou are considering modifications of your vehicle

due to a disability, you may also contactNISSAN. Contact information is contained in the

front of this Owners Manual.

When a supplemental front air bag inflates, afairly loud noise may be heard, followed byrelease of smoke. This smoke is not harmful anddoes not indicate a fire. Care should be taken tonot inhale it, as it may cause irritation andchoking. Those with a history of a breathingcondition should get fresh air promptly.

Supplemental front air bags, along with the useof seat belts, help to cushion the impact force onthe head and chest of the front occupants. Theycan help save lives and reduce serious injuries.However, an inflating front air bag may causefacial abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags

do not provide restraint to the lower body.Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat beltsshould be correctly worn and the driver andpassenger seated upright as far as practicalaway from the steering wheel or instrumentpanel. The supplemental front air bags inflate

quickly in order to help protect the front occu-pants. Because of this, the force of the front airbag inflating can increase the risk of injury if theoccupant is too close to, or is against, the frontair bag module during inflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.

The supplemental front air bags operate

only when the ignition switch is inor START position.

After turning the ignition switch to position, the supplemental air bag wlight illuminates. The supplemental warning light will turn off after seconds if the system is operational

Other supplemental front air bagprecautions

WARNING

Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instru-ment panel. Also, do not place anyobjects between any occupant andthe steering wheel or instrumentpanel. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and cause in-jury if the supplemental front air baginflates.

Immediately after inflation, several

front air bag system components willbe hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself.

No unauthorized changes should bemade to any components or wiring ofthe supplemental air bag system.This is to prevent accidental inflationof the supplemental air bag or dam-age to the supplemental air bag sys-tem.

Do not make unauthorized changesto your vehicles electrical system, suspension system or front end structure. This could affect properoperation of the supplemental airbag system.

Tampering with the supplementalfront air bag system may result in serious personal injury. Tamperingincludes changes to the steeringwheel and the instrument panel as- sembly by placing material over the steering wheel pad and above theinstrument panel or by installing ad-

ditional trim material around t

bag system. Modifying or tampering with thpassenger seat may result in sepersonal injury. For example, change the front seats by pmaterial on the seat cushion installing additional trim m such as seat covers, on the seaare not specifically designed sure proper air bag operation. tionally, do not stow any objecder the front passenger seat o

The seat belts should be correctly worn and thedriver and passenger seated upright as far aspractical away from the supplemental side airbag. Rear seat passengers should be seated asfar away as practical from the door finishers andside roof rails. The side air bags and curtainside-impact and rollover air bags inflate quicklyin order to help protect the front and rearoutboard occupants. Because of this, the forceof the side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag inflating can increase therisk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or isagainst, these air bag modules during inflation.The side air bag will deflate quickly after thecollision is over.

The curtain side-impact and rollover air bags willremain inflated for a while.The supplemental side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air bags operateonly when the ignition switch is in the ONor START position.

After turning the ignition switch to the ONposition, the supplemental air bag warninglight illuminates. The supplemental air bagwarning light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING

Do not place any objects near the seatback of the front seats. Also, donot place any objects (an umbrella,bag, etc.) between the front door fin-isher and the front seat. Such objects

may become dangerous projectilesand cause injury if the supplemental side air bag inflates.

Right after inflation, several side airbag and curtain side-impact and roll-over air bag system components willbe hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself.

No unauthorized changes should bemade to any components or wiring ofthe side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system. Thisis to prevent accidental inflation ofthe side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag or damage tothe side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system.
