Floor mat positioning aid

This vehicle includes two driver’s side front floor

mat brackets and one passenger’s side front floor

mat bracket to help keep your floor mats in place.

NISSAN floor mats have been specially designed

for your vehicle model. The driver’s side floor mat

has two grommet holes incorporated in it and the

passenger’s side has one grommet hole. Position

each mat by placing the floor mat bracket hook

through the floor mat grommet holes while cen-

tering the mat in the footwell.
Periodically check to make certain the mats are

properly positioned.

SEAT BELTS

The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them

with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution.

Allow the belts to dry completely in the shade

before using them. See “Seat belt maintenance”

in the “Safety – Seats, seat belts and supplemen-

tal restraint system” section of this manual.

WARNING

Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the

retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye or

chemical solvents to clean the seat belts,

since these materials may severely

weaken the seat belt webbing.

MOST COMMON FACTORS

CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE

CORROSION

● The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt

and debris in body panel sections, cavities,

and other areas.

● Damage to paint and other protective coat-

ings caused by gravel and stone chips or

minor traffic accidents.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

INFLUENCE THE RATE OF

CORROSION
Moisture

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the ve-

hicle body underside can accelerate corrosion.

Wet floor coverings will not dry completely inside

the vehicle and should be removed for drying to

avoid floor panel corrosion.

Relative humidity

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high

relative humidity, especially those areas where

the temperatures stay above freezing and where

atmospheric pollution exists and road salt is

used.
