SEAT BELTS PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE Your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced if you are wearing your seat belt and it is properly adjusted. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your passengers to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seating position includes a supplemental air bag. Some states, provinces or territories require that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven. SPA0506 SPA0485 ¼ Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained and, if appropriate, in a child restraint. ¼ The belt should be adjusted properly and 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 properly. ¼ Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never run the belt behind your backs under your arm or across your neck.
