SEAT BELT BUCKLE

After a collision, check all parts of the installed seat belt assembly (including the retractor). Then, check the installed seat belt portion for damage or deformation. When a collision occurs, damage/deformation is detected, or operation is not normal, NISSAN recommends replacement of seat belt assembly. If replacement is not performed, serious personal injury may occur.
If the following conditions occur, replace the seat belt:

• When the seat belt is damaged
• When the installed seat belt portion is damaged (before installing a new seat belt, check the installed portion for damage or deformation)
• When an air bag is deployed in an accident whether it is used or not (only for models with seat belt pre-tensioner)
• When the seat belt does not operate normally

1.Using the seat belt warning lamp, check that the seat belt buckle switch works normally. When the ignition switch is turned ON with the seat belt not in use, the seat belt warning lamp turns ON. When the seat belt is fastened, the seat belt warning lamp turns OFF.

2.Check that anchor bolts on the seat belt retractor and buckle are securely tightened.

1.Remove the front seat from the vehicle. Refer to Removal and Installation.

2.Remove the seat belt buckle.
• Remove the seat cushion inner finisher. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly.
• Disconnect the seat belt buckle switch connector and remove the harness clamp.
