If your child restraint has a top tether strap,
it must be secured to the provided anchor
point. Secure the child restraint with a seat
belt. Secure the top tether strap to the
anchor bracket. Tighten the strap according
to manufacturer instructions to remove any
slack.
WARNING
cChild restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances is
it to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Anchor point locations
Anchor points are located under the rear
window. King Cab vehicles will only have
the outer anchor point. Crew Cab vehicles
will have all three anchor points.
If you have any questions when install-
ing a top strap child restraint, consult
your NISSAN dealer for details.

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.
