CHILD SAFETYChildren need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available from
many other sources, including doctors, teachers,
government traffic safety offices, and community
organizations. Every child is different, so be sure
to learn the best way to transport your child.
There are three basic types of child restraint
systems:

Rear facing child restraint

Front facing child restraint

Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.
Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less
than 9 kg (20 lb) should be placed in rear facing
child restraints. Front facing child restraints are
available for children who outgrow rear facing
child restraints.
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may notfit them properly. The shoulder belt may
come too close to the face or neck. The
lap belt may not fit over their small hip
bones. In an accident, an improperly
fitting seat belt could cause serious or
fatal injury. Always use appropriate
child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or terri-
tories require the use of approved child re-
straints for infants and small children. (See
“Child restraints” later in this section.)
Also, there are other types of child restraints
available for larger children for additional protec-
tion.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. This is
especially important because your vehicle
has a supplemental restraint system (air
bag system) for the front passenger. See
“Supplemental restraint system” later in
this section.
InfantsInfants up to at least one year old should be
placed in a rear facing child restraint. NISSAN
recommends that infants be placed in child
restraints that comply with Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. You should choose a
child restraint which fits your vehicle and always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for instal-
lation and use.Small childrenChildren that are over one year old and weight
between 9 kg (20 lbs) and 18 kg (40 lbs) can be
placed in a forward facing child restraint. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for minimum
and maximum weight and height recommenda-
tions. NISSAN recommends that small children
be placed in child restraints that comply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Ca-
nadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.Larger childrenChildren who are too large for child restraints
should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts which are provided. The seat belt may not
fit properly if the child is less than 142.5 cm (4

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
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
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.

Never install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An inflating
supplemental air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child. A rear facing
child restraint must only be used in
the rear seat.
NISSAN recommends that the child
restraint be installed in the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.

An improperly installed child re-
straint could lead to serious injury or
death in an accident.
In general, child restraints are designed to be
installed with the lap portion of a three-point type
seat belt. In addition, this vehicle is equipped
with a universal child restraint lower anchor
system, referred to as the LATCH (Lower An-
chors and Tethers for CHildren) system. Some
child restraints include two rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be connected to
these lower anchors. For details, see “LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) SYS-
TEM” later in this section.
Child restraints for infants and children of various
sizes are offered by several manufacturers.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:

choose only a restraint with a label certifying
that it complies with Canadian Motor VehicleSafety Standard 213 or Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 213.

check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.

if the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be sure
the child restraint is compatible with your
child. Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
Canadian provinces and all US states re-
quire that infants and small children be
restrained in approved child restraints at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
WARNING

Improper use of a child restraint can
result in increased injuries for both
the infant or child and other occu-
pants in the vehicle.

Follow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation

HEADLIGHT AIMThe aim of the headlights may require adjust-
ment when replacing the headlight assembly or
when the vehicle’s front body has been repaired.
When the adjustment is required, follow these
procedures, or have them adjusted by a NISSAN
dealer.
Before performing the headlight aim adjustment:

Check the pressure of all tires for the correct
inflation pressure.

Check that the tools and spare tire are
stowed securely.
Check that the fuel and lubricants levels are
filled to correct capacities.

Unload all luggage and other items, which
may influence the vehicle’s height level.

Load a weight on the driver’s seat that is
equivalent to the weight of a driver.
Stopping the vehicle1. Park the vehicle on a level surface vertical to
the wall or screen to which the headlights will
be projected.
2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to deter-
mine the point P as shown in the illustration.The point P must be:
“H” is the distance between the headlight
center point to the level surface.
“W
L” is the distance between the left and
right headlight centers.
3. Mark point P on the wall or screen.
4. Back up the vehicle 5,000 mm (197.0 in,
16.4 ft) straight away from the wall or screen.
“L” is the distance between the wall or screen
to the vehicle’s front bumper.
5. Apply the parking brake.

TIRE PRESSURE
Tire inflation pressureCheck the tire pressures (including the
spare) often and always prior to long
distance trips. The recommended tire
pressure specifications are shown on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or the Tire
and Loading Information label (if so
equipped) under the “Cold Tire Pres-
sure” heading. The Tire and Loading In-
formation label is affixed to the driver side
center pillar. Tire pressures should be
checked regularly because:

Most tires naturally lose air over time.

Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other objects
or if the vehicle strikes a curbwhile
parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or
driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile) at mod-
erate speeds.Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING

Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an acci-
dent.

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label. The
vehicle weight capacity is indi-
cated on the Tire and Loading
Information label (if so
equipped). Do not load your ve-
hicle beyond this capacity.
Overloading your vehicle may
result in reduced tire life, un-
safe operating conditions due
to premature tire failure, or un-
favorable handling characteris-
tics and could also lead to a
serious accident. Loading be-yond the specified capacity may
also result in failure of other
vehicle components.

Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use a tire pressure
gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level.

Do not drive your vehicle over
137 km/h (85 MPH) unless it is
equipped with high speed rated
tires. Driving faster than 137
km/h (85 MPH) may result in
tire failure, loss of control and
possible injury.

For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Tire
Safety Information” in the War-
ranty Information Booklet.

TIRE LABELINGFederal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on the
sidewall of all tires. This information iden-
tifies and describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also pro-
vides the tire identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The TIN
can be used to identify the tire in case of
a recall in case of recall.
1
Tire size (example: P215/65R15
95H)
1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles. (Not all
tires have this information.)
2. Three-digit number (215): This num-
ber gives the width in millimeters of the
tire from sidewall edge to sidewall
edge.
3. Two-digit number (65): This number,
known as the aspect ratio, gives thetire’s ratio of height to width.
4. R: The “R” stands for radial.
5. Two-digit number (15): This number is
the wheel or rim diameter in inches.
6. Two- or three-digit number (95): This
number is the tire’s load index. It is a
measurement of how much weight
each tire can support. You may not
find this information on all tires be-
cause it is not required by law.
7. H: Tire speed rating. You should not
drive the vehicle faster than the tire
speed rating.
