1996 NISSAN FRONTIER Owners Manual

Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions for belt routing.
3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the
belt is fully extended and a click is heard.
At this time, the belt retractor is in the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts back to emergency
locking mode when the belt is fully re-
tracted.
4. Allow the belt to retract. A clicking sound
is heard as the belt retracts. This indi-
cates that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode. Pull up on the belt to
remove any slack in the belt.5. Before placing the child in the child re-
straint, use force to tilt the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to
make sure it is securely held in place.
6. Ensure the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt
out of the retractor. If you cannot pull any
more belt webbing out of the retractor,
the belt is in the automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
lap belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is allowed to wind back into the
retractor, the automatic locking mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled; the emergency
locking retractor may be used as normal
and will only lock during a sudden stop or
impact.TOP STRAP CHILD RESTRAINT
If your child restraint has a top strap, install
the anchor bracket to the provided anchor
point. Secure the child restraint with the
seat belt and latch the top strap hook onto
the appropriate anchor bracket. Make sure
the shoulder belt is placed between the seat
back and child restraint. To install the an-
chor bracket, a metric bolt of the dimensions
listed below must be used.
Bolt diameter: 8.0 mm
Bolt length: more than 1.18 in (30 mm)
Thread pitch: 1.25 mm

The top strap should be secured to the
attaching belt which provides the straightest
installation of the top strap.
Child restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only these loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Anchor point locations
Anchor points are located under the rear
window. On King Cab models, the back
panel carpet is perforated to allow access to
the anchor points.
Your NISSAN dealer can assist you with the
installation of your child restraint.
