1999 NISSAN QUEST warning

After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted (for the passenger
side of the two-passenger bench seat, the
auxilliary buckle must also be released), the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) is canceled.REAR FACING INSTALLATION
AT SECOND AND THIRD ROW
OUTBOARD POSITIONS
The following instructions apply to second
row bucket seats, the second row bench
seat and the outboard positions of the three-
passenger bench seat.
WARNING
When installing a child restraint in the
two-passenger bench seat, if it is
placed in the seating position next to
the passenger side sliding door, be
sure both the auxiliary buckle and main
buckle are properly fastened. Failure to
do so could increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an accident.
WARNING
cThe three-point belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic lock-
ing mode retractor which must be
used when installing a child re-
straint.cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The seat
could tip over or otherwise be unse-
cured and cause injury to the child in
a sudden stop or collision.

3. Tighten the tether strap to remove any
slack.
4. 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.
5. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If not
secure, repeat steps two through four.INSTALLATION ON THREE-
PASSENGER BENCH SEAT IN
SECOND ROW
WARNING
A third seat occupant should never sit
at a seating location where the lap/
shoulder belt is being used to attach
the child seat. Occupants should sit at
locations where seat belts can be used.
Remember to always wear your seat
belt.
A child restraint with a top tether strap may
be placed at the outboard positions on the
three-passenger bench seat when the bench
seat is in the second row location. Once the
child restraint is properly secured to the seat
(see ``Front facing installation at second and
third row outboard positions'' earlier in this
section), follow the directions to attach the
tether strap to the third row lap/shoulder belt
tongue (located on the same side of the
vehicle as the child restraint).

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 ``Front facing in-
stallation at second and third row outboard
positions'' or ``Front facing installation at
three-passenger bench seat center posi-
tion'' earlier in this section), follow the direc-
tions to attach the tether strap to one of the
anchor point locations.
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
(available at an authorized NISSAN dealer)
to the provided anchor point.
Bracket part #88894-89900
To gain access to an anchor point, cut along
the perforated floor carpeting of the cargo
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: at least 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.
cThe parcel shelf (if so equipped)
must be removed from the vehicle if
installing a child restraint on the
three-passenger bench seat that re-
quires the use of a top tether strap
that is anchored to the vehicle floor.
Failure to remove the parcel shelf
can increase the severity of injury to
the child in an accident.
Latch the tether strap hook onto the appro-
priate anchor bracket. The tether strap
should be secured to the floor anchor
bracket which provides the straightest in-
stallation.

Installation on front passenger seat
WARNING
c
Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental air bags inflate with
great force. A rear-facing child re-
straint could be struck by the supple-
mental air bag in a crash and could
seriously injure or kill your child.
cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you install a forward-facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger
seat to the rearmost position.
cA child restraint with a top strap
should not be used in the front pas-
senger seat.
cThe three-point belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic lock-
ing mode retractor which must be
used when installing a child re-
straint.cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The seat
could tip over or otherwise be unse-
cured and cause injury to the child in
a sudden stop or collision.

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 the 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.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces
require that infants and small children be
restrained in approved child restraints at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
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 sepa-
rate child restraint. Children larger than these
requirements should also be restrained in an
appropriate separate child restraint or in the
appropriate vehicle seat belt system. Refer
to ``Child Restraints'' and ``Precautions On
Seat Belt Usage'' in this section for important
child safety information.

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

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-
