SEAT BELTS
Precautions on seat belt usage
Zhengzhou NISSAN strongly
encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every
time you drive.
Your chances of being injured in
an accident and the severity of
injury may be greatly reduce if
you are wearing your seat belt
and it is properly adjusted.
Warning
●
Seat belts 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. Serious injury
can occur if seat belt is not
worn properly.
●
No
modifications
or
additions should be made
●
by the user which will
either prevent the seat belt
adjusting
devices
from
operating to remove slack, or
prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjust to remove
slack.
●
Seat
belts
should
be
adjusted as firmly as possible,
consistent with comfort, to
pro-vide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
wearer. Care should be taken to
avoid contamination of the
webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals,
and
particularly
battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated
or damaged.
●
It is essential to replace the
entire assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly
is not obvious.
●
Belts should not be worn
with straps twisted.
●
Each seat belt assembly
must only be used by one
occupant; it is dangerous to
put a belt around a child being
carried on the occupant
’
s lap.
●
All seat belt assemblies
including
retractors
and
attaching hardware should be
inspected after any collision at
your Zhengzhou NISSAN dealer.
Zhengzhou
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.
