Nissan Ariya: Seats
Nissan Ariya (FE0) 2023-2025 Owner's Manual / Safety - Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system / Seats

WARNING
- Do not ride in a moving vehicle
when the seatback is reclined.
This can be dangerous. The
shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and
receive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the
lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
- For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat properly.
- After adjustment, gently rock in
the seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
- Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could
unknowingly activate switches or
controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious
accidents.
- To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended operation
of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children,
people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature
inside a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk
of injury or death to people and
pets.
- Do not adjust the driver's seat
while driving so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation. The
seat may move suddenly and
could cause loss of control of the
vehicle.
- The seatback should not be
reclined any more than needed
for comfort. Seat belts are most
effective when the passenger sits
well back and straight up in the
seat. If the seatback is reclined,
the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and being injured is
increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts
to avoid possible injuries and/or
damage.

- Secure the outer seat belt on the seat
belt hook.
- If the rear seat is equipped with the
head restraints/headrests, slide the
front seat forward to make enough
room behind the seat so that the rear
seatback can be folded flat.

cup holder (if so equipped).

To fold down the seatback

flat.
To return the seatback
To return the seatback to a seating position,
raise the seatback until it latches in
place.
When returning the seatback, make sure
that the seat belts are not interfering with
the seatback latch mechanism.
WARNING
- Before folding up the rear seats,
ensure the seat belts are not
obstructing the rear seatback
latches to avoid damage to the
seat belt webbing.
- When returning the seatback,
make sure that the seat belts are
not interfering with the seatback
latch mechanism.
- Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. In a collision, people
riding in these areas without
proper restraints are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
- Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts. Be sure everyone in your
vehicle is in a seat and using a
seat belt properly.
- Do not allow more than one
person to use the same seat belt.
- Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear
seat area or any luggage is on the
rear seats.
- Make sure that the seat path is
clear before moving the seat.
- Be careful not to allow hands or
feet to get caught or pinched in
the seat.
- Head restraints/headrests should
be adjusted properly as they may
provide significant protection
against injury in an accident.
Always replace and adjust them
properly if they have been
removed for any reason.
- If the head restraints/headrests
are removed for any reason, they
should be securely stored to
prevent them from causing injury
to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking
or an accident.
- When returning the seatbacks to
the upright position, be certain
they are completely secured in
the latched position. If they are
not completely secured, passengers
may be injured in an accident
or sudden stop.
- Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
WARNING
- After adjustment, gently rock in
the seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
- Do not ride in a moving vehicle
when the seatback is reclined.
This can be dangerous. The
shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and
receive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the
lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
- For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
