FOLDING REAR SEAT (if so
equipped for Hatchback models)
s1Remove the tonneau cover from the rear
seatback.
s2Pull the knobsAto fold each seatback
down.
WARNING
cNever allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seat when it is in the
fold-down position. Use of these areas
by passengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
cProperly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
cWhen returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
cClosely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously in-
jured. Keep the car locked, with the rear
seatback and trunk lid securely latched
when not in use, and prevent children’s
access to car keys.

TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
If the manufacturer of your child restraint requires
the use of a top tether strap, it must be secured to
the anchor point.
WARNING
cChild restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
cDo not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Properly secure the
cargo so it does not contact the top
tether strap. Cargo that is not properly
secured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage it during a
collision. Your child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the top
tether strap is damaged.
Top Tether Anchor Point Locations
Anchor points are located on the back of the rear
seats (hatchback model) or on the rear parcel
shelf (sedan model) .
Installing top tether strap (hatchback
model)
First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH
system (rear outboard seat positions only) or the
seat belt, as applicable.
1. Remove the head restraint. Store it in a
secure location. Be sure to install the head
restraint when the child restraint is removed.2. Position the top tether strap over the top of
the seatback.
3. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point on the seat directly behind the child
restraint.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap child restraint on the rear
seat, consult your NISSAN dealer for de-
tails.
