cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a forward
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger seat
to the rearmost position. Also, be sure
the front passenger air bag status light
is illuminated to indicate the passenger
air bag is OFF. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” later in this sec-
tion for details.
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” later in this
section.
cA child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat except for the King cab models.The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installation using the vehicle seat belts in
the rear seats or the front passenger seat.
Front-facing
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
bench seat (Crew cab models only) or in the front
passenger seat:
1.If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
front-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-
ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions
The back of the child restraint should be secured
against the vehicle seat back. If necessary, adjust
or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. See “Head restraint adjust-
ment” 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 re-
straint and it is interfering with the proper child
restraint fit, try another seating position or a dif-
ferent child restraint.
3. 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.4. Pull on the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor
is in the automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode) . It reverts to emergency lock-
ing mode when the seat belt is fully re-
tracted.
