2000 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 rearmost 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
seat belt retractor is in the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode). It
reverts back to emergency locking mode
when the seat 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 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.

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-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches and controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

WARNING
cDo not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on

closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.

from playing and becoming locked
in the trunk where they could be
seriously injured. Keep the car

spaces such as a garage.
cDo not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.

ing, otherwise exhaust gases could
be drawn into the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, follow these precau-
tions.
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation but-
ton (if so equipped) to off and the
fan control dial to 4 (high) to cir-
culate the air.cIf electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer's
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
cThe exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust system.
d.
You have had an accident involv-
ing damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

burned at high temperatures to help reduce
pollutants.
