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.

Periodically check to see that the seat

belt and the metal components such as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires
and anchors, work properly. If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-
sembly should be replaced.

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the seat
belts.

Most

seating

positions

are

equipped with Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat belt
becomes wrapped around a child’s neck
with the ALR mode activated, the child can
be seriously injured or killed if the seat
belt retracts and becomes tight. This can
occur even if the vehicle is parked. Un-
buckle the seat belt to release the child. If
the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is
already unbuckled, release the child by
cutting the seat belt with a suitable tool
(such as a knife or scissors) to release the
seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.

In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available from
many other sources, including doctors, teachers,
government traffic safety offices, and community
organizations. Every child is different, so be sure
to learn the best way to transport your child.
