2004 NISSAN TITAN child restraint

cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a forward-
facing child restraint in the right front
passenger seat, move the passenger
seat to the rearmost position. Also, be
sure the front passenger air bag status
light is illuminated to indicate the pas-
senger air bag is OFF. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” earlier
in this section for details.
cA child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat.cThe three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor 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. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front passenger
air bag and status light” earlier in this
section.
If you must install a child restraint in the right front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front pas-
senger seat.It should be placed in a
front-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position.Adjust the
head restraint to its highest position. Always
follow the child 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.

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 to emer-
gency locking mode when the seat belt is
fully retracted.4. Allow the seat belt to retract slightly. Pull up
on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt.

5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to tilt the child restraint from side
to side, and tug it forward to make sure that
it is securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch.
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
retractor is in the automatic locking mode.7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 6.
8. Turn the ignition to the ON position. The
passenger air bag status light should say
“OFF”
or. If this light is not illu-
minated it may indicate a malfunction.Move
the child restraint to another seating
position.Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.

straint in the front passenger seat.

ously injure or kill your child.
