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 center
bench seat, follow these instructions
carefully.
cA child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat.
If you must install a child restraint in the front
center bench seat, follow these steps:
s1Position the child restraint on the front pas-
senger bench seat as illustrated.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 re-
straint 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 be
secured against the vehicle seat back. If
necessary, adjust or remove the head re-
straint 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.
