TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
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 which provides
the straightest installation of the tether strap.
Tighten the strap according to the manufactur-
er’s instructions to remove any slack.
WARNING
Child restraint anchor points are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they 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 3 anchor
points.
If you have any questions when installing a
top strap child restraint on the rear seat,
consult your NISSAN dealer for details.
