WARNING

After adjustment, release the adjust-

ment button and try to move the shoul-
der belt anchor up and down to make
sure it is securely fixed in position.

The shoulder belt anchor height should

be adjusted to the position best for you.
Failure to do so may reduce the effec-
tiveness of the entire restraint system
and increase the chance or severity of
injury in an accident.

Seat belt hook

When the seat belt is not in use and when folding
down the rear seats, hook the rear seat belts on
the seat belt hooks.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

If, because of body size or driving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap/shoulder belt
and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with
the installed seat belts is available that can be
purchased. The extender adds approximately 8 in
(200 mm) of length and may be used for either
the driver or front passenger seating position.
See a NISSAN dealer for assistance with pur-
chasing an extender if an 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 use could
result in serious personal injury in the
event of an accident.

Never use seat belt extenders to install

child restraints. If the child restraint is
not secured properly, the child could be
seriously injured in a collision or a sud-
den stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpet.
Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are completely
dry.

If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt

guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat
belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder
belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
