child's size. Generally, infants up to about
1 year and less than 20 pounds (9 kg)
should be placed in rear facing child re-
straints. Forward facing child restraints
are available for children who outgrow rear
facing child restraints.
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. The vehicle's seat belts may
not fit them properly. The shoulder belt
may come too close to the face or neck.
The lap belt may not fit over their small
hip bones. In an accident, an improp-
erly fitting seat belt could cause seri-
ous or fatal injury. Always use appro-
priate child restraints.
All US States and Canadian provinces re-
quire the use of approved child restraints for
infants and small children. See ``Child re-
straints'' later in this section.
In addition, there are many types of child
restraints available for larger children which
should be used for maximum protection.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear
seat if possible. According to accidentstatistics, children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-
tem (Air bag system) for the front passen-
ger (For precautions, see ``Supplemental
restraint system'' earlier in this section).
Infants and small children
NISSAN recommends that infants and small
children be placed in a child restraint that
complies with the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. You should choose
a child restraint that fits your vehicle and
always follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for installation and use.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child re-
straints should be seated and restrained by
the seat belts which are provided.
If the child's seating position has a shoulder
belt that fits close to the face or neck, the use
of a booster seat (commercially available)
may help overcome this. The booster seat
should raise the child so the shoulder belt is
properly positioned across the top, middleportion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low
on the hips. The booster seat should fit the
vehicle seat and have a label certifying that
it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. Once the child has
grown enough so the shoulder belt is no
longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any
seat and do not allow a child in the
cargo areas while the vehicle is mov-
ing. The child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in an accident or sudden
stop.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women
use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn
snug, and always position the lap belt as
low as possible around the hips, not the
waist. Place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal
area. Contact your doctor for specific rec-
ommendations.

shoulder harness retractor is in the emer-
gency locking mode.
WARNING
The automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode) must be reactivated each
time you place a child in the integrated
child safety seats.
In addition to the automatic locking retrac-
tors, the integrated child safety seat shoul-
der harnesses are equipped with emer-
gency locking retractors. The automatic
locking mode is best to use, especially for
children who need help staying properly
positioned in the seat and its harnesses (for
example, children who are younger and
smaller), because the belts are always
locked. In the emergency locking mode, the
shoulder belts only lock in a sudden stop or
accident, allowing a child more freedom of
movement. Use the emergency locking
mode only if you judge your child able to
remain properly positioned in the integrated
child safety seat.
Removing the child
1. Release the chest clip.
2. Release the left and right shoulder har-ness tongues from the belt buckle by
pressing the red belt buckle button.
3. Move the left and right shoulder har-
nesses aside and assist the child from
the integrated child safety seat.
Storing the Integrated Child Safety
Seat
1. Be sure the shoulder harnesses are fully
retracted and resting inside the inte-
grated child safety seat recess. It is not
necessary to reconnect the shoulder har-
nesses and belt buckle prior to storing
the integrated child safety seat.
2. While holding onto, but not pulling, the
cushion release strap, rotate the cushion
upward until it fits flush with the second
row seat back cushion and locks into
position.
3. Be sure the integrated child safety seat is
locked in the stowed position by grasping
the safety seat cushion and attempting to
lower it without pulling the cushion re-
lease strap. If the integrated child safety
seat is not locked in the stowed position,
repeat steps one through three.

cTo clean the shoulder harnesses and belt
buckle webbing, apply a mild soap solu-
tion or any solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then
brush the webbing, wipe it with a cloth
and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not
allow the shoulder harnesses to retract
until they are completely dry.
cThe integrated child safety seats cloth
removable pads may be cleaned with
mild soap and water. The cloth remov-
able pads are attached to the seats with
fastener strips, and may be easily re-
moved. The pads are machine washable.
Fo best results, machine wash in cold
water in the gentle cycle. Tumble dry on
low heat. Do not use chlorine bleach, and
do not dry clean.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the washing instruc-
tions provided on the cloth removable
pads may result in premature wear or
damage.

To operate the rear seat air conditioner, the
engine must be running.
The rear seat air conditioner can be turned
on and off from the front controls. If the rear
seat fan control lever on the front panel is set
to OFF, the rear air conditioner is turned off.
If it is set to any of the fan speed positions, air
is discharged from the rear vents at the
corresponding speed. When the rear seat
fan control lever on the front panel is set to
REAR A/C, the rear seat passengers control
their own fan speed.
The rear seat air conditioner only works when
the front seat air conditioner is operating.
