2013 NISSAN Consumer Safety & Air Bag Information Guide

14

For the seat belt to be most effective when the vehicle is in motion, the seatback should be

upright. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous, as the shoulder belt will not be against your body. In a collision, you could be

thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap

belt and receive serious internal injuries. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet on

the floor and adjust the seat belt properly.

OTHER SPECIFICS ABOUT SEAT BELTS

ƒ Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted.
ƒ Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
ƒ Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.
ƒ If the seat belt warning light illuminates continuously while the ignition is turned ON with

all doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the system;

have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

ƒ See the vehicle owner’s manual for more detailed information to help you better

understand the important safety warnings, system features, operation and maintenance

of your vehicle’s seat belts.

CONCERN FOR YOUR SAFETY

NISSAN urges you to always use your available seat belt restraint system whenever you

drive, even if your vehicle is equipped with supplemental air bags. Please ask all of your

passengers to buckle up too. For children, make sure they are secured in an appropriate

child restraint or booster seat.* Seat belts do save lives. See the vehicle owner’s manual

for details.
