If you are wearing your seat belt correctly, sitting upright, and positioned well back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances of being injured or killed in a collision may be greatly reduced, and the severity of injury may also be lower. NISSAN strongly encourages every driver and passenger to buckle up every time the vehicle is driven, even when the seating position is equipped with a supplemental air bag. In the Nissan Murano, seat belts remain the primary restraint for occupants and should be used together with the vehicle's other safety systems.

Most U.S. states and 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 ride in the rear seats and should be secured in an appropriate child restraint that matches their size, age, and the restraint manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING

• The seat belt should be adjusted to a snug, proper fit. If it is loose, incorrectly positioned, or worn in the wrong routing, the effectiveness of the entire restraint system may be reduced and the chance or severity of injury in an accident may increase. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.

WARNING

• Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest.

  Never place the belt behind your back, under your arm, or across your neck, because those positions can prevent the belt from restraining the body correctly.

  The belt should stay away from your face and neck, but it should not slide 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. The belt should click into place and remain latched until it is intentionally released.
• Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted. A twisted belt may not spread force across the body correctly and may reduce its effectiveness.
• Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt. Each occupant must use a separate seating position and a separate belt.
• Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts. Every occupant in the Nissan Murano must have an available restraint before the vehicle is driven.
• If the seat belt warning light glows continuously or the chime continues 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. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do not modify the seat belt, add material to it, or install devices that may change the belt routing or tension. Such changes may affect the way the seat belt system operates. 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. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, should be inspected after any collision.

  It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

  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 that were not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if damage or improper operation is found.

• 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 or if the manufacturer recommends replacement after the type of collision involved.
