restraint, move the restraint to another rear
seating position and try again, or try a differ-
ent child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles.

TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
WARNING
The child restraint anchor points are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses.After removing a rear seat head re-
straint for top tether installation,
store it securely to prevent it from
causing injury to passengers or dam-
age to the vehicle in case of sudden
braking or an accident. Always re-
place it and adjust properly when top
tether is no longer in use.
The top tether strap may be damaged
by contact with the tonneau cover (if
so equipped) or items in the cargo
area. Remove the tonneau cover from
the vehicle or secure it and any cargo.
Your child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the top tether
strap is damaged.
If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it
must be secured to the anchor point provided
behind its position.
First, adjust the seatback so that it is as upright
as possible. Then secure the child restraint with
the rear seat belt or the LATCH system (out-
board positions), as applicable. Remove the
anchor cover from the anchor point as illustrated.
Keep the removed cover in a secure place to
prevent loss or damage.Remove the head restraint from the seatback.
Store it in a secure place. Position the top tether
strap over the top of the seatback and secure it
to the tether anchor bracket that provides the
straightest installation. Tighten the tether strap
according to the manufacturer’s instruction to
remove any slack.
For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint
installation instructions in this section and the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
Anchor point locationsAnchor points are located as illustrated.
If you have any questions when installing a
top strap child restraint on the rear seat,
consult a NISSAN dealer for details.

Front facingIf you must install a child restraint in the 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 instructions.Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.
The back of the child restraint should besecured against the vehicle seatback. If nec-
essary, adjust or remove the head restraint to
obtain the correct child restraint fit. See
“Head restraint adjustment” earlier in this
section. If the head restraint is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to install the
head restraint when the child restraint is
removed. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.
2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.

PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER
SEATS
WARNING
Infants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while riding in the ve-
hicle. Failure to use a child restraint
or booster seat can result in serious
injury or death.
Infants and small children should
never be carried on your lap. It is not
possible for even the strongest adult
to resist the forces of a severe acci-
dent. The child could be crushed be-
tween the adult and parts of the ve-
hicle. Also, do not put the same seat
belt around both your child and your-
self.
NISSAN recommends that the
booster seat be installed in the rear
seat. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.A booster seat must only be installed
in a seating position that has a
lap/shoulder belt. Failure to use a
three-point type seat belt with a
booster seat can result in a serious
injury in sudden stop or collision.
An improperly installed booster seat
could lead to serious injury or death
in an accident.BOOSTER SEATS

CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the booster
seat.
BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION
ON REAR SEAT OUTBOARD OR
CENTER POSITIONS
CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt auto-
matic locking mode when using a
booster seat with the seat belts. When
you install a booster seat in the rear
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the booster seat on the seat. Onlyplace it in a front facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions.
2. The booster seat should be positioned on the
vehicle seat so that it is stable. If necessary,
adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain
the correct booster seat fit. See “Head re-
straint adjustment” earlier in this section. If
the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to install the head
restraint when the booster seat is removed. If
the seating position does not have an adjust-
able head restraint and it is interfering with
the proper booster seat fit, try another seat-
ing position or a different booster seat.

der. Be sure to follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for adjusting the belt
routing.

tions for properly fastening a seat belt shown
