4. Pull on the third row 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 re-
straint mode). (The lap/shoulder belt re-
verts back to emergency locking mode
when it is disconnected from the tether
strap and fully retracted.)
5. 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. Tighten the tether strap to
remove any slack.
6. 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.
7. Check that the retractor is in the auto-
matic locking mode by trying to pull more
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull
any more belt webbing out of the retrac-
tor, the belt is in the automatic locking
mode.
8. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
belt is not locking, repeat steps 4 through
7.
INSTALLATION ON THREE-
PASSENGER BENCH SEAT IN
THIRD ROW
A child restraint with a top tether strap may
be placed on the three-passenger bench
seat when the bench seat is in the third row
location. Once the child restraint is properly
secured to the seat (see ``Installation at
second and third row outboard positions'' or
``Installation at three-passenger bench seat
center position'' earlier in this section), fol-
low the directions below to attach the tether
strap to one of the anchor points.
Tethering to floor
When installing a child restraint on the
three-passenger bench seat in the third row
position, first install the floor anchor bracket
(found in the tool kit) to the provided anchor
point. To gain access to an anchor point, cut
along the U-shaped anchor point indicators
on the floor carpeting of the luggage area.
Installing the anchor bracket requires re-
moving the bolt already installed at the
anchor point and using a metric bolt of the
dimensions listed below:
Bolt diameter: 8.0 mm
Bolt length: more than 1.18 in (30 mm)
Thread pitch: 1.25 mm
WARNING
cBolts should be installed at all times
to prevent the possibility of exhaust
fumes entering the passenger com-
partment through the holes.
cChild restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses.

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. Check that the retractor is in the auto-
matic locking mode by trying to pull more
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull
any more belt webbing out of the retrac-
tor, 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 seat belt
may be used as normal and will only lock
during a sudden stop or impact.INTEGRATED CHILD SAFETY
SEATS (If so equipped)
WARNING
cFailure to follow the instructions for
the use of these integrated child
safety seats can result in your child
striking vehicle's interior during a
sudden stop or crash, causing the
injury or death of your child.
cImproper use of a child restraint can
increase the risk or severity of injury
for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle.
cAll U.S. states and provinces of
Canada require that infants and
small children be restrained in ap-
proved child restraints at all times
while the vehicle is being operated.
The optional second row bench seat con-
tains two integrated child safety seats.
These seats are designed for use only by
children who weigh between 22 and 60
pounds (10-27 kg) and whose height is 45
inches (1145 mm) or less and who are
capable of sitting upright alone.In addition, these integrated child safety
seats must only be used by children who
meet the following requirements:
cAGE:
At least one year old
cSEATED HEIGHT:
Top of child's shoulders must be below
the shoulder harness openings of the
integrated child seat.
Children smaller than these requirements
should be restrained in an appropriate
separate child restraint. Children larger than
these requirements should also be re-
strained in an appropriate separate child
restraint or in the appropriate vehicle seat
belt system. Refer to ``Child Restraints for
Infants and Small Children'' and ``Precau-
tions On Seat Belt Usage'' in this chapter for
important child safety information.

properly positioned over the child's left
shoulder.
11. Check that the shoulder harness is in
the automatic locking mode by trying to
pull the shoulder harness out of the
retractor. If you cannot pull any of the
shoulder harness webbing out of the
retractor, the shoulder harness is in the
automatic locking mode. If the shoulder
harness is not locked, repeat step 10. If,
after repeated attempts, the integrated
child safety seat shoulder harness can-
not be placed in the automatic locking
mode, do not use the integrated child
safety seat and have it inspected by
your NISSAN dealer.
To cancel the automatic locking mode, un-
buckle the chest clip and both shoulder
harness tongues. Allow the shoulder har-
nesses to retract completely. The automatic
locking mode is now canceled and the
shoulder harness retractor is in the emer-
gency locking mode.
The automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode) must be reactivated each
time you place a child in the integrated
child safety seats.In addition to the automatic locking retrac-
tors, the integrated child safety seat shoul-
der harnesses are equipped with emer-
gency locking retractors. The automatic
locking mode is best to use, especially for
children who need help staying properly
positioned in the seat and its harnesses (for
example, children who are younger and
smaller), because the belts are always
locked. In the emergency locking mode, the
shoulder belts only lock in a sudden stop or
accident, allowing a child more freedom of
movement. Use the emergency locking
mode only if you judge your child able to
remain properly positioned in the integrated
child safety seat.
Removing the Child
1. Release the chest clip.
2. Release the left and right shoulder har-
ness tongues from the belt buckle by
pressing the red belt buckle button.
3. Move the left and right shoulder har-
nesses aside and assist the child from
the integrated child safety seat.
Storing the Integrated Child Safety
Seat
1. Be sure the shoulder harnesses are fully
retracted and resting inside the inte-
grated child safety seat recess. It is not
necessary to reconnect the shoulder har-
nesses and belt buckle prior to storing
the integrated child safety seat.
2. While holding onto, but not pulling, the
cushion release strap, rotate the cushion
upward until it fits flush with the second
row seat back cushion and locks into
position.
3. Be sure the integrated child safety seat is
locked in the stowed position by grasping
the safety seat cushion and attempting to
lower it without pulling the cushion re-
lease strap. If the integrated child safety
seat is not locked in the stowed position,
repeat steps 1 through 3.

Operating tips
cKeep windows and sun roof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.cAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should be
operated for about ten minutes at
least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
cIf the coolant temperature gauge ex-
ceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air
conditioner off. See ``If your vehicle over-
heats'' in the ``In case of emergency''
section for additional information.
Servicing air conditioning
The air conditioning system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a new refrigerant
designed with the environment in mind.
This new refrigerant does not harm the
earth's ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your NISSAN
air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants causes severe damage to yourair conditioning system. See ``Air condition-
ing system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations'' in the ``Technical and con-
sumer information'' section of this manual.
Your NISSAN dealer is able to service your
environmentally ``friendly'' air conditioning
system.
