NISSAN 2008 Sentra - Manual (Page 32)

To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows.
● Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward
quickly. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check or
if you have any questions about seat belt opera-
tion, see a NISSAN dealer.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WITH RETRACTOR (Rear center
seat, all models except SE-R)
WARNING
● Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all
times.
● For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion always sit well
back in the seat with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat belt properly.
Fastening the seat belts
᭺
1 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 sudden stop or on impact. A slow
pulling motion permits the seat 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 release it. Then smoothly
pull the belt out of the retractor.
᭺
2 Position the lap belt portion low and snug
on the hips as shown.
᭺
3 Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder
and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear seating
positions three-point seat belts have two modes
of operation:
● Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
● Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
