SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

. To clean the seat belt webbings,apply amild soap solution or any solution recom-mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seatbelts to dry in the shade. Do not allow theseat belts to retract until they are completely

dry.. If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt

guide of the seat belt anchors, the seatbelts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulderbelt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

. Periodically check to see that the seat

belt and the metal components, such asbuckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wiresand anchors, work properly. If loose parts,deterioration, cuts or other damage on thewebbing is found, the entire seat beltassembly should be replaced.

Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildrenSYSTEM (LATCH)

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor

points that are used with Lower Anchors andTethers for CHildren System (LATCH) compa-tible child restraints. This system may also bereferred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatiblesystem. With this system, you do not have to usea vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint.

The LATCH anchor points are provided to installchild restraints in the rear outboard seating

positions only. Do not attempt to install a childrestraint in the center position using the LATCH

anchors.

Under no circumstance are they tobe used for adult seat belts or

harnesses.

. Inspect the lower anchors by insert-ing your fingers into the lower

anchor area and feeling to makesure there are no obstructions overthe LATCH anchors, such as seatbelt webbing or seat cushion mate-rial. The child restraint will not be

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATIONUSING THE SEAT BELTS

WARNING

. Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air

Bag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the frontpassenger seat. Front air bags in-flate with great force. A rear-facingchild restraint could be struck by thefront air bag in a crash and couldseriously injure or kill your child.

. NISSAN recommends that child re-straints be installed in the rear seat.

However, if you must install a for-ward facing child restraint in thefront passenger seat, move thepassenger seat to the rearmostposition. Also, be sure the frontpassenger air bag status light isilluminated to indicate the passen-ger air bag is OFF. See Front

passenger air bag and status lightlater in this section for details.

. The three-point seat belt in yourvehicle is equipped with an Auto-matic Locking Retractor (ALR) modewhich must be used when installing

a child restraint.. Failure to use the ALR mode will

result in the child restraint not beingproperly secured. The restraintcould tip over or otherwise be un-secured and cause injury to the childin a sudden stop or collision.

. When using the rear center seat beltto install a child restraint, make surethe connector tongue and the seatbelt tongue are secured. Do not usethe seat belt with only the seat belttongue attached. This could result in

serious personal injury in case of anaccident or sudden stop.

Booster seats are designed to beused with a lap/shoulder belt. Boos-ter seats are designed to properlyroute the lap and shoulder portionsof the seat belt over the strongestportions of a childs body to provide

the maximum protection during acollision.

. Follow all of the booster seat man-ufacturers instructions for installa-tion and use. When purchasing abooster seat, be sure to select one

which will fit your child and vehicle.It may not be possible to properlyinstall some types of booster seatsin your vehicle.

. If the booster seat and seat belt isnot used properly, the risk of a childbeing injured in a collision or asudden stop greatly increases.

. Adjustable seatbacks should bepositioned to fit the booster seat,but as upright as possible.

. After placing the child in the boosterseat and fastening the seat belt,make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the childs faceand neck and the lap portion of the

belt does not cross the abdomen.

. Do not put the shoulder belt behindthe child or under the childs arm. Ifyou must install a booster seat inthe front seat, see BOOSTER SEATINSTALLATION later in this section.

. When your booster seat is not inuse, keep it secured with a seat beltto prevent it from being thrownaround in case of a sudden stop oraccident.

CAUTION

Remember that a booster seat left in aclosed vehicle can become very hot.Check the seating surface and bucklesbefore placing your child in the booster

seat.

Booster seats of various sizes are several manufacturers. When selebooster seat, keep the following poin

. The front air bags ordinarily will notinflate in the event of a side impact,rear impact, rollover, or lower se-verity frontal collision. Always wearyour seat belts to help reduce therisk or severity of injury in various

kinds of accidents.. The front passenger air bag will not

inflate if the passenger air bagstatus light is lit or if the frontpassenger seat is unoccupied. SeeFront passenger air bag and status

are most effective when you aresitting well back and upright in theseat with both feet on the floor. Thefront air bags inflate with great

force. Even with the NISSAN Ad-vanced Air Bag System, if you areunrestrained, leaning forward, sit-ting sideways or out of position inany way, you are at greater risk ofinjury or death in a crash. You mayalso receive serious or fatal injuries

from the front air bag if you are upagainst it when it inflates. Always sit

back against the seatback and asfar-away as practical from the steer-

. The driver and front passenger seatbelt buckles are equipped withsensors that detect if the seat beltsare fastened. The Advanced Air Bag

System monitors the severity of acollision and seat belt usage theninflates the air bags. Failure toproperly wear seat belts can in-crease the risk or severity of injuryin an accident.
