Checking seat belt operation Your seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt movement by two separate methods: 1) When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the retractor. 2) When the vehicle slows down rapidly. To increase your confidence in the seat belts, check the operation as follows. ● Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and restrict further belt movement. If the retractor does not lock during this check or if you have any question about belt operation, see an authorized NISSAN dealer. WRS0005 LRS0026 Center of rear seat Selecting correct set of seat belts: The center seat belt buckle is identified by the word ''CENTER.'' The center seat belt tongue can be fastened only into the center seat belt buckle. Shoulder belt height adjustment (For front seats) The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position best for you. (See ''Precautions on seat belt usage'' earlier in this section.) To adjust, pull out the adjustment button and move the shoulder belt anchor to the desired position, so the belt passes over the center of the shoulder. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Release the adjustment button to lock the shoulder belt anchor into position.
