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 GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for
assistance with purchasing 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 the
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 sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

. To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
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
assembly should be replaced.

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, 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. Unbuckle the seat
belt to release the child. If the seat belt
can not 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.

There are three basic types of child restraint
