INSTALLATION OF A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON REAR
SEATS
WARNING
•NISSAN recommends that infants or small
children be seated in a child restraint system.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.
•The direction of the child restraint system de-
pends on the type of the child restraint sys-
tem and the size of the child.
Front-facing
When you install a front-facing child restraint system
in a rear outer or centre seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the rear sliding bench seat to its rear-
most position and the front passenger seat as far
forward as possible.
2. Position the front-facing child restraint system on
the rear seat.
Always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use.3. 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 clipjA . 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.
4. 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.
5. Check to make sure that the child restraint sys-
tem is properly secured prior to each use.

ISOFIX SYSTEM
WARNING
•Attach ISOFIX compatible child restraint sys-
tems only at the locations shown by the la-
bels. If a child restraint is not secured prop-
erly, your child could be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.
•The rear sliding bench seat is equipped with
2 ISOFIX compatible child restraint systems,
on both outer seats ONLY. Do not secure a
child restraint in the rear centre seating posi-
tion using the child restraint lower anchors.
The child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly.
•The ISOFIX system anchors are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses.
Some child restraints include two rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be connected to two
anchors located at certain seating positions in your
vehicle. This system is known as the ISOFIX or
ISOFIX compatible system. With this system, you
do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the
child restraint. Your vehicle is equipped with special
anchor points that are used with ISOFIX system
compatible child restraints. Check your child re-
straint for a label stating that it is compatible with the
ISOFIX system. This information may also be in the
child restraint owner’s manual. If you have such a
NPA720

child restraint, refer to the illustration for the rear
seating positions equipped with ISOFIX system an-
chors which can be used to secure the child re-
straint.
The ISOFIX system anchors are located at the rear
of the seat cushion near the seatback (as illustrated).
Labels are attached to the seat cushion to help you
locate the ISOFIX system anchors.
CAUTION
•The child restraint may also require the use of
a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap for
child restraint” later in this section for instal-
lation instructions. Alternatively, the child re-
straint may require an anti-rotation device
such as support leg. Refer to the child re-
straint system manufacturer’s instructions.
•When installing a child restraint, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this manual and
those supplied with the child restraint.
When you install an ISOFIX system compatible child
restraint to the lower anchor attachments in the rear
seat, follow these steps.
Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your fingers
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
in place. Make sure that both ISOFIX anchor-
ages have latched correctly.
4. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use.
NOTE
•For forward facing ISOFIX child restraint
on the rear seat, set the rear sliding bench
seat to its rearmost position and the front
passenger seat as far forward as possible.
•For rearward facing ISOFIX child restraint
on the rear seat, slide the front passenger
seat as far backwards as possible and slide
the rear bench seat forwards until the edge
of the child restraint touches the front seat.
TOP TETHER STRAP FOR CHILD
RESTRAINT
The top tether strap of the child restraint must be
secured to the provided anchor point of your ve-
hicle.Follow the child restraint manufacturer
owner’s manual for installation instructions.
Secure the top tether strap to the anchor bracket as
illustrated.
WARNING
•The child restraint anchor points are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses.
•The child restraint top tether strap may be
damaged by contact with the rear parcel shelf
or items in the luggage compartment area.
Remove the rear parcel shelf from the vehicle
or secure it in the luggage compartment area.
Also, secure any lose items in the luggage
compartment. Your child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the top tether
strap is damaged.
