To lower, push and hold the lock knob and push the
head restraint down.
Make sure the head restraint is positioned so the lock
knob is engaged in the notch before riding in that
designated seating position.
WARNING:
. Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable;
wearing the lap section of the belt across
the abdominal area must be avoided. Ser-
ious injury may occur if a seat belt is not
worn properly.
SSS0134A . Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible around the hips, not the waist. A
lap belt worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an accident.
. Do not allow more than one person to use
the same seat belt. Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is danger-
ous to put a belt around a child being carried
on the occupants lap.
. Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
SSS0136A . Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts
should not be worn with straps twisted.
Doing so may reduce their effectiveness.
. Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide
the protection for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
. Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.

WARNING:
. Once the air bags have been inflated, the air
bag modules will not function and must be
replaced. The air bag modules must be
replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The inflated
air bag modules cannot be repaired.
. The air bag systems should be inspected by
a NISSAN dealer if there is any damage to
the front end or side portion of the vehicle.
. If you need to dispose of the SRS or scrap
the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Cor-
rect disposal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incor-
rect disposal procedures could cause perso-
nal injury.
The air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts are designed
to activate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless the SRS air bag warning light is damaged, the
SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated after
inflation has occurred. The repair and replacement of
the SRS should be done only by a NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
information about the air bags, pre-tensioner seat belts
and related parts should be pointed out to the person
performing the maintenance. The ignition switch
should always be in the LOCK position when working
under the hood or inside the vehicle.
