The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode(child restraint mode) locks the seat belt forchild restraint installation.

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 normalseat belt use by an occupant, the ALRmode should not be activated. If it isactivated, it may cause uncomfortable seatbelt tension.

WARNINGWhen fastening the seat belts, becertain that seatbacks are completelysecured in the latched position. If theyare not completely secured, passengersmay be injured in an accident or suddenstop.

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

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

However, if you must install a front-facing child restraint in the frontpassenger seat, move the passen-ger seat to the rearmost position.Also, be sure the front passenger airbag status light is illuminated toindicate the passenger air bag isOFF. See Front passenger air bag

. 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

The back of the child restraint should besecured against the seatback.

If necessary, adjust or remove the headrestraint (front passenger seat only) toobtain the correct child restraint fit. (SeeHEAD RESTRAINTS earlier in this sec-tion.)

If the head restraint is removed, store it in a

. 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.

After turning the ignition switch to the ONposition, the supplemental air bag warninglight illuminates. The supplemental air bagwarning light will turn off after about 7seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING

. 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

light later in this section.. The seat belts and the front air bags

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-

ing wheel or instrument panel. Al-ways use the seat belts.

. 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.
