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 an air bag. Some states, provinces or territories require that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven. WARNING ● Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be in appropriate child restraints. ● The belt should be properly adjusted to a snug fit.

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
an air bag.
Some states, provinces or territories re-
quire that seat belts be worn at all times
when a vehicle is being driven.
WARNING
●
Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be in ap-
propriate child restraints.
●
The belt should be properly adjusted
to a snug fit. Failure to do so will
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increases the
chances or severity of injury in an
accident.
●
Do not wear the belt inside out or
twisted. Be sure the seat belt tongue
is securely fastened to the proper
buckle.
●
Do not allow more than one person to
use the same belt.
●
All seat belt assemblies including re-
tractors
and
attaching
hardware
should be inspected after any colli-
sion at your NISSAN dealer. NISSAN
recommends that all seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was mi-
nor and the belts show no damage
and
continue
to
operate
properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be in-
spected and replaced if either dam-
age or improper operation is noted.
●
Never carry more people in the ve-
hicle than there are seat belts.
●
If the seat belt warning lamp glows con-
tinuously while the ignition 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 your NISSAN dealer.
●
Be sure to observe the following pre-
cautions when using seat belts. Failure
to
do
so
could
increase
the
chance
and/or severity of injury in an accident.
●
Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the belt 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 as pos-
sible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST.
●
Serious injury or death can occur if
seat belt is not worn properly.
CHILD SAFETY
Children
need
adults
to
help
protect
them.
All U.S. states and provinces of Canada
require the use of approved child restraints

restraints available for larger children which
