Nissan Micra: Precautions on seat belt usage
Nissan Micra Owners Manual
If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted
and you are sitting upright and well back in
your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances
of being injured or killed in a collision and/or the
severity of injury may be greatly reduced.
NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every time you drive,
even if your seating position includes a supplemental
air bag.
Most Canadian provinces or territories
specify 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 the rear
seats and in an appropriate restraint.
|
WARNING
- Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put the belt behind your back,
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 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.
- Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
- Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
- Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
- Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
- If the seat belt warning light glows continuously
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 a NISSAN dealer.
- No changes should be made to the seat
belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material, or install
devices that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may affect
the operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious personal
injury.
- Once seat belt pretensioner(s) have activated,
they cannot be reused and must
be replaced together with the retractor.
See a NISSAN dealer.
- Removal and installation of pretensioner
system components should be
done by a NISSAN dealer.
- All seat belt assemblies, including retractors
and attaching hardware, should
be inspected after any collision by a
NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recommends
that all seat belt assemblies in use during
a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show
no damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies not in
use during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
- All child restraints and attaching hardware
should be inspected after any collision.
Always follow the restraint
manufacturer’s inspection instructions
and replacement recommendations.
The child restraints should be replaced
if they are damaged.
