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.

3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is
fully extended. At this time, the belt retractor
is in the automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode). It reverts back to emergency
locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the 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 25 mm (1 inch). If it does move
more than 25 mm (1 inch), pull again on the
shoulder belt to further tighten the child
restraint. If unable to properly secure the
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.
6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt out of
the retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt

webbing out of the retractor, the belt is in the
automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the lap
belt is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is allowed to wind back into the retractor,
the automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) is canceled.
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

Make sure the child’s head will be properly
supported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat. The seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. For example, if a
low back booster seat
1
is chosen, the
vehicle seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. If the seatback is
lower than the center of the child’s ears, a
high back booster seat
2
should be used.

If the booster seat is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be sure
the booster seat is compatible with your
child. Always follow all recommended proce-
dures.All U.S. states and provinces of Canada
require that infants and small children be
restrained in an approved child restraint at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
WARNING

Improper use of a booster seat can
increase the risk or severity of injury
for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle.

Follow all of the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation
and use. When purchasing a booster
seat, be sure to select one which will
fit your child and vehicle. It may not
be possible to properly install some
types of booster seats in your ve-
hicle.

If the booster seat and seat belt are
not used properly, the risk of a child
being injured in a collision or a sud-
den stop greatly increases.
Adjustable seatbacks should be po-
sitioned to fit the booster seat, but as
upright as possible.

After placing the child in the booster
seat and fastening the seat belt,
make sure the shoulder portion of
the belt is away from the child’s face
and neck and the lap portion of the
belt does not cross the abdomen.

Do not put the shoulder belt behind
the child or under the child’s arm. If
you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, see “Booster seat instal-
lation on front passenger seat” later
in this section.

When your booster seat is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to
prevent it from being thrown around
in case of a sudden stop or accident.

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.
