4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the
shoulder belt to remove any slack in the
belt.
If necessary to ensure the child re-
straint is secure, pull the shoulder belt
through the seat belt tongue beyond
the stitching in the belt.
After the seat belt is fully retracted and
the child restraint is removed from the
seat, the stitching on the shoulder belt
can be pulled back through the seat belt
tongue. This stitching locates the seat
belt tongue near the top of the seat back
for easy access for rear seat passengers.5. Before placing the child in the child re-

from side to side, and tug it forward to
make sure it is securely held in place.

matic locking mode by trying to pull more
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull
any more belt webbing out of the retrac-
tor, the retractor is in the automatic lock-
ing mode.

cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a
forward-facing child restrain in the
front passenger seat, move the pas-
senger seat to the rear most posi-
tion.
cNever install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front seating position
of crew cab models. Install a rear
facing child restraint in the rear seat
only. The force of the inflating air
bag could cause serious injury or kill
the child in the child restraint.
cThe three-point belt in your vehicle
is equipped with a locking mode re-
tractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.
c
If the supplemental air bag warning
light located in the instrument panelnext to the speedometer comes on-
when the passenger supplemental air
bag OFF indicator light is also illumi-
nated, something may be wrong with
the supplemental air bag system. Do
not use a child restraint in the front
passenger seat until the system is
checked by your NISSAN dealer.
If you choose to install a child restraint in the
front seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat. Move the seat to the
rearmost position. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING
cNever install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front seating position
of crew cab models. Install a rear
facing child restraint in the rear seat
only. The force of the inflating air
bag could cause serious injury or kill
the child in the child restraint.
cIf so equipped, keep the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch
turned ON unless a rear-facing child
restraint is used in the front seat. If
the switch is OFF, the air bag will not
inflate in a collision as designed.cBe sure to turn the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch
OFF when using a rear facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat.
If it is not OFF, the air bag may inflate
in a collision. The force of the rapidly
inflating air bag could cause serious
injury or kill the child in the child
restraint. See ``Passenger supple-
mental air bag ON/OFF switch and
light'' earlier in this section.
c
If the supplemental air bag warning
light located in the instrument panel
next to the speedometer comes on
when the passenger supplemental air
bag OFF indicator light is also illumi-
nated, something may be wrong with
the air bag system. Do not use a child
restraint in the front passenger seat
until the system is checked by your
NISSAN dealer.

is equipped with an automatic lock-
ing mode retractor which must be
used when installing a child re-
straint.
