Storing rear seat belt buckles

Before folding down the seat, put the buckles in
the storage of the seat cushion to avoid
dropping it under the seat cushion.

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 is available that is
compatible with the installed seat belts. 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 NISSAN
dealer for assistance 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 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 webbings, 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.
