Do not attach anything to the head re-

straint stalks. Doing so could impair
active head restraint function.

The active head restraint moves forward utilizing
the force that the seatback receives from the
occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement
of the head restraint helps support the occu-
pant’s head by reducing its backward movement
and helping absorb some of the forces that may
lead to whiplash-type injuries.

Active head restraints are effective for collisions
at low to medium speeds in which it is said that
whiplash injury occurs most.

Active head restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original positions.

Properly adjust the active head restraints as de-
scribed in this section.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad-
justed and you are sitting upright and well back in
your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances
of being injured or killed in a collision and/or the
severity of injury may be greatly reduced.
NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every time you drive,
even if your seating position includes a supple-
mental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories specify that seat belts be worn at
all times when a vehicle is being driven.
