the anchor bracket to a provided anchor
point. Anchor bracket hardware must be
installed. The top strap anchor bracket hard-
ware is available through an authorized
NISSAN dealer.

at an authorized NISSAN dealer for the
latest parts information.
Secure the child restraint with the three-
point seat belt or with the center lap belt(rear seat of Crew Cab models) 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 anchor bracket, a
metric bolt of the dimensions listed below
must be used.
Bolt diameter: 8.0 mm
Bolt length: at least 1.18 in (30 mm)
Thread pitch: 1.25 mm
Secure the top strap to the attaching bolt
which provides the straightest installation of
the top strap.

center position of the front bench
seat if the type of restraint used
interferes with operation of the driv-
ing controls.
IChild restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
