CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
● Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-facing
child restraint in the front passenger
seat. Front air bags inflate with great
force. A rear-facing child restraint could
be struck by the front air bag in a crash
and could seriously injure or kill your
child.
● NISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a front-
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger seat
to the rearmost position. Also, be sure
the front passenger air bag status light
is illuminated toindicate the passenger
air bag is OFF. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” later in this sec-
tion for details.
● The three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
● Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
otherwise be unsecured and cause in-
jury to the child in a sudden stop or
collision.
● A child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat.
The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installationusing the vehicle seat belts in
the rear seat or the front passenger seat.
Front-facing
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seats or in the front passenger seat:
1. If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
front-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.
