NISSAN 2013 LEAF - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 98)

• The seat belt should be properly ad-
justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury in an
accident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn prop-
erly.
• Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put the belt behind your back,
under your arm or across your neck.
The belt should be away from your
face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder.
• Position the lap belt as low and snug
as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT
THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high
could increase the risk of internal inju-
ries in an accident.
• Be sure the seat belt tongue is se-
curely fastened to the proper buckle.
• Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its effec-
tiveness.
• Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
• Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
• If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the power switch 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 certified
LEAF dealer.
• No changes should be made to the
seat belt system. For example, do not
modify the seat belt, add material, or
install devices that may change the
seat belt routing or tension. Doing so
may affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tampering
with the seat belt system may result in
serious personal injury.
• Once a seat belt pretensioner has ac-
tivated, it cannot be reused and must
be replaced together with the retrac-
tor. See a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
• Removal and installation of the pre-
tensioner system components should
be done by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
