1999 NISSAN SENTRA child lock

If you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat.It should be placed in
a front facing direction only.Move the
seat to the rear most position. Always
follow the restraint manufacturer's in-
structions.Child restraints for infants
must be used in the rear facing direc-
tion and therefore must not be used in
the front seat.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
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. 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 retracted.

4.Allow the seat belt to retract slightly. Pull
up on the seat 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.
Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more seat
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull
any more seat belt webbing out of the
retractor, the seat 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 three
through six.After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted, the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode) is can-
celed.

A key number plate is supplied with your
key. Record the key number and keep it in a
safe place (such as your wallet), NOT IN
THE CAR. If you lose your keys, see an
authorized NISSAN dealer for duplicates by
using the key number. NISSAN does not
record key numbers so it is very important to
keep track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by an authorized
NISSAN dealer or locksmith.
WARNING
cAlways have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
c
Do not leave children unattended in a
locked vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches and controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
MANUAL DOOR LOCK
To lock the door, turn the key towards the
front of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it to-
wards the rear.
