A booster seat can onlybe used in seating positions that have a three-point type seat belt. The booster seat should fit

the vehicle seat and have a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards. Once the child has grown so theshoulder belt is no longer on or near the faceand neck, use the shoulder belt without thebooster seat.

When ALR mode is activated the seat beltcannot be extended again until the seat belttongue is detached from the buckle and fullyretracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR modeafter the seat belt fully retracts. For additionalinformation, see CHILD RESTRAINTS later inthis section.

The ALR mode should be used only forchild restraint installation. During normal

seat belt use by a passenger, the ALRmode should not be activated. If it isactivated it may cause uncomfortable seatbelt tension.

WARNINGWhen fastening the seat belts, becertain that seatbacks are completely

secured in the latched position. If theyare not completely secured, passengersmay be injured in an accident or sudden

stop.

Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the seat belt, push the button on thebuckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.

Checking seat belt operationSeat belt retractors are designed to lock seatbelt movement by two separate methods:

. When the belt is pulled quickly from theretractor.

. 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 forwardquickly. The retractor should lock and

restrict further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during thiif you have any question about operation, see a NISSAN dealer.

Shoulder belt height adjustmentThe shoulder belt anchor height should beadjusted to the position best for you. (SeePRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGEearlier in this section.)

To adjust, pull the adjustment button *1 , and

then move the shoulder belt anchor to thedesired position *2 , so that the belt passesover the center of the shoulder. The belt shouldbe away from your face and neck, but not fallingoff of your shoulder. Release the adjustmentbutton to lock the shoulder belt anchor intoposition.

WARNING

. After adjustment, release the ad-justment button and try to move the

shoulder belt anchor up and downto make sure it is securely fixed inposition.

. The shoulder belt anchor heightshould be adjusted to the positionbest for you. Failure to do so mayreduce the effectiveness of theentire restraint system and increasethe chance or severity of injury in anaccident.

WARNING

. Infants and small children shouldalways be placed in an appropriatechild restraint while riding in thevehicle. Failure to use a child re-

straint or booster seat can result inserious injury or death.

. Infants and small children shouldnever be carried on your lap. It is notpossible for even the strongest

adult to resist the forces of a severeaccident. The child could be crushed

between the adult and parts of thevehicle. Also, do not put the same

seat belt around both your child andyourself.

. NISSAN recommends that the boos-ter seat be installed in the rear seat.According to accident statistics,children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seat than inthe front seat. If you must install abooster seat in the front seat, seeBOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATIONlater in this section.

. A booster seat must only be in-

stalled in a seating position that hasa lap/shoulder belt. Failure to use athree-point type seat belt with abooster seat can result in a seriousinjury in sudden stop or collision.

. Improper use or improper installa-

tion of a booster seat can increasethe risk or severity of injury for boththe child and other occupants of thevehicle and can lead to seriousinjury or death in an accident.

. Do not use towels, books, pillows orother items in place of a booster

seat. Items such as these may move

. 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 offered byseveral manufacturers. When selecting anybooster seat, keep the following points in mind:

. Choose only a booster seat with a labelcertifying that it complies with Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standard 213 or CanadianMotor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

. Check the booster seat in your vehicle to besure it is compatible with the vehicles seatand seat belt system.

.Make sure the childs head will bsupported by the booster seat seat. The seatback must be at or center of the childs ears. For exalow back booster seat *1 is chvehicle seatback must be at or center of the childs ears. If the s

. The seat belts, the side air bags andcurtain and rollover air bags are

most effective when you are sittingwell back and upright in the seat.The side air bag and curtain androllover air bag inflate with greatforce. Do not allow anyone to placetheir hand, leg or face near the side

air bag on the side of the seatbackof the front seat or near the sideroof rails. Do not allow anyone

sitting in the front seats or rearoutboard seats to extend their handout of the window or lean againstthe door. Some examples of dan-

gerous riding positions are shownin the previous illustrations.

. When sitting in the rear seat, do nothold onto the seatback of the front

seat. If the side air bag inflates, youmay be seriously injured. Be espe-

cially careful with children, whoshoul d always be properly re -strained. Some examples of danger-ous riding positions are shown inthe illustrations.

. Tampering with the supplementalair bag system may result in seriouspersonal injury. Tampering includeschanges to the steering wheel and

the instrument panel assembly by

placing material over the steeringwheel pad and above the instrument

panel or by installing additional trimmaterial around the air bag system.

. Modifying or tampering with thefront passenger seat may result in

serious personal injury. For exam-ple, do not change the front seats by

placing material on the seat cushionor by installing additional trim ma-terial, such as seat covers, on the

seat that is not specifically designedto assure proper air bag operation.Additionally, do not stow any ob-jects under the front passenger seator the seat cushion and seatback.Such objects may interfere with theproper operation of the occupantclassification sensor.

. No unauthorized changes should bemade to any components or wiring

of the seat belt system. This mayaffect the front air bag system.Tampering with the seat belt systemmay result in serious personal in-jury.

The pretensioner system activates in conjunc-tion with the front air bag system. The preten-sioner system also activates with the curtain androllover air bags in certain types of rollover

collisions or near rollovers. Working with theseat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat beltwhen the vehicle becomes involved in certaintypes of collisions, helping to restrain front seatoccupants.

The pretensioner is encased with the seat beltretractor. These seat belts are used the sameway as conventional seat belts.

When a pretensioner activates, smoke is re-leased and a loud noise may be heard. Thesmoke is not harmful and does not indicate afire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as itmay cause irritation and choking. Those with a
