Child restraint on front passenger seat
(front passenger air bag equipped
models)
Vehicles equipped with a front passenger air bag,
will have an air bag warning label attached to the
passenger’s side of the instrument panel as (previ-
ously) illustrated.
This label mentions:
“Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!”
This label warns you not to fit a rear facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the front passenger air bag.
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
be seated in a child restraint system on the rear seat
if available. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
When installing child restraints in your vehicle, al-
ways carefully observe the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. For more details on the installation of child
restraints, see “Child restraints” later in this section.

INSTALLATION OF A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON THE FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING
•Never install a rear facing child restraint sys-
tem in the front seat without first deactivating
the front passenger air bag. Inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bags inflate with greatforce. A child restraint system could be struck
by the supplemental front-impact air bags in
an accident and could seriously injure or kill
your child.
•NISSAN recommends that infants or small
children be seated in a child restraint system
in the rear seat. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the front
seat.
Rear facing
If you install a child restraint system in the front seat,
follow these steps:
1. Deactivate the front passenger air bag. See
“Supplemental Restraint System (air bag
system)” earlier in this section for further details.
2. Move the seat to the rearmost position.
3. Adjust the head restraint to its highest position.
Remove it if it interferes with the child restraint
installation. In such situation, securely store the
head restraint in the luggage compartment so
that it does not become a dangerous projectile
during a sudden stop or in an accident.
4. Position the child restraint system in the front
passenger’s seat.
Always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use.5. Route the seat belt tongue through the child re-
straint system and insert it into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.
To prevent slack in the lap belt, it will be neces-
sary to secure the shoulder belt in place with a
locking clip
jA . Use a locking clip attached to
the child restraint system, or one which is equiva-
lent in dimensions and strength.
Be sure to follow the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing.
6. Slide the seat forward so that the seat belt fully
tightens the child restraint system and the child
restraint reaches the vehicle dashboard.
7. Test the child restraint system before you place
the child in it. Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check if it is held securely in place.

into the lower anchor area and feeling to make sure
there are no obstructions over the ISOFIX system
anchors, such as seat belt webbing or seat cushion
material. The child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly if the ISOFIX system anchors are obstructed.
1. To install the ISOFIX system compatible child
restraint, insert the child restraint ISOFIX systemanchor attachments into the anchor points on the
rear seat. See “Top tether strap for child
restraint” later in this section for top tether strap
installation instructions.
2. Fit the ISOFIX funnel guides (supplied with the
ISOFIX child seat – where fitted) to the vehicle
ISOFIX brackets located at the base of the rear
outer seat cushions (refer to the ISOFIX label for
appropriate locations).
3. After attaching the child restraint and before plac-
ing the child in it, use force to tilt the child re-
straint from side to side and tug it forward to
make sure that the child restraint is securely held

The “Flexi-board” system is a wetjDordryjE dual
surface, and dual position system that allows differ-
ent luggage compartment arrangements. The lug-
gage floor boards can be rearranged as illustrated:
Upper positionjA
This position provides a flat load floor (the rear seat
backs can also be folded forward see “Rear seat” in
the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section). It also serves as a con-
cealed load area for objects placed below the pan-
els.
Lower positionjB
This position maximises the load space in the lug-
gage compartment.
In order to rearrange the “Flexi-board” system lay-
out, proceed as follows:
•Remove the larger panelj1 and slide it into the
lower positionjB).
•Repeat the operation with the smaller panelj2.
