Using the Integrated Child Safety
Seats
WARNING:
cNever use the vehicle seat belts to
restrain a child in an integrated childsafety seat. Use only the shoulder-
harness and belt buckle which is
part of the integrated child safety
seat. Never use the integrated child
safety seat as a booster cushion
with the vehicle seat belts.cBefore placing the child in the inte-
grated child safety seat, confirm that
the bench seatback is securely
locked and the seatback release le-
ver is in full down position.
cAlways make sure the integrated
child safety seat belts are properly
positioned on your child. The child
should sit straight up and back
against the bench seat. The shoulder
harnesses should be centered over
the shoulders and fastened with the
chest clip. The belt buckle should be
between the legs and latched to the
shoulder belt tongue. Snugly adjust
the belts around your child. Failure
to properly position the child can
increase the risk or severity of injury
to the child in an accident.
CAUTION
Remember that the interior of a closed
vehicle can become very hot when left
in direct sunlight. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing
your child in the integrated child safety
seat.ARS1215

Securing the child
Before using the integrated child safety
seats, carefully read the shoulder har-
ness, seatback release, and integrated
child safety seat cushion labels.
The following steps apply to both the left
and right integrated child safety seats.
1. Be sure your child meets all of the re-
quired age, weight and height require-
ments for the safe use of the integrated
child safety seat.
2. Be sure the second row bench seat is
securely latched to the floor of the ve-
hicle. Refer to ``Flexible seating'' in this
chapter for proper seat installation proce-
dures.
3. Be sure the second row bench seatback
is locked by grasping it and trying to rock
it back and forth. Also, check that the
seatback release lever is in the full down
position.
4. Pull the cushion release strap and lower
the intregrated child safety seat cushion
completely.NOTE: The head restraints on the pas-
senger bench seat equipped with the
integrated child safety seats, are not
adjustable or removable.

7.Place the left shoulder harness over the
child's left shoulder. Insert the left shoulder
harness tongue into the left side of the belt
buckle. Confirm that the left shoulder har-
ness tongue indicator is green. The shoul-
der harness tongues only fit into the proper
sides of the belt buckle.
8.Place the right shoulder harness over the
child's right shoulder. Insert the right shoul-
der harness tongue into the right side of the
belt buckle. Confirm that the right shoulder
harness tongue indicator is green. The
shoulder harness tongues only fit into the
proper sides of the belt buckle.
9. Fasten the two halves of the chest clip
and confirm that the chest clip indicator is
green. Adjust the chest clip (slightly lower
than the child's shoulders) so it comfort-
ably holds the shoulder harness in positi-
ton on the child's shoulders.
WARNING
cShoulder harness tongues and chest
clips are equipped with visual indica-
tors to confirm proper and secure
latching. For the safety of the child
and occupants of the vehicle, all indi-cators must show green before oper-
ating the vehicle.
cIf the shoulder harness is unfas-
tened or not fastened properly, the
child could be seriously injured.
10. Grasp the right shoulder harness above
the chest clip and pull until the harness
fully extends and a click is heard. At this
time, the harness retractor is in the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode). With the child sitting properly
(straight up and back) in the integrated
child safety seat, allow the right shoul-

der harness to retract over the right
shoulder and securely restrain the child.
A clicking sound is heard as the har-
ness retracts, indicating that the retrac-
tor is in the automatic locking mode. Be
sure the left shoulder harness is also
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 an
authorized 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 theshoulder harness retractor is in the emer-
gency locking mode.
WARNING
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 one through three.

1.Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid
as necessary. See ``Brake fluid'' in the
``Do-it-yourself'' section of this manual.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the
warning system checked by an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
cYour brake system may not be work-
ing properly if the warning light is
on. Driving could be dangerous. If
you judge it to be safe, drive care-
fully to the nearest service station
for repairs. Otherwise, have your ve-
hicle towed.
cPressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-
ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.
cIf the brake fluid level is below the
minimum mark on the brake fluid
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked at an au-
thorized NISSAN dealer.
ABSorAnti-lock brake
warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate something is wrong
with the anti-lock portion of the brake sys-
tem. Have the system checked by an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
anti-lock function turns off, but the brakes
continue to operate normally.
If the light comes on while you are driv-
ing, contact an authorized NISSAN
dealer for repair.
Overdrive off indicator light
This light comes on during driving when the
overdrive switch is pressed to prevent over-
drive operation.
The O/D OFF indicator light comes on for
two seconds each time the ignition key is
turned ON. This shows the light is function-
ing properly.
If the O/D OFF indicator light blinks for
approximately 8 seconds after coming on for
2 seconds, have an authorized NISSANdealer check the transmission and repair it if
necessary.
The automatic transmission is equipped
with an electronic Fail-Safe mode. This sys-
tem allows the vehicle to be driven even in
the event of damage to the electrical cir-
cuits. If this occurs, the gears automatically
engage and lock into third gear.
NOTE: See ``Fail-safe'' in the ``Starting and
driving'' section of this manual before visit-
ing an authorized NISSAN dealer.
