2010 NISSAN FRONTIER warning

5. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-
fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the LATCH attachment path. The child re-
straint should not move more than 1 inch (25
mm) , from side to side. Try to tug it forward
and check to see if the LATCH attachment
holds the restraint in place. If the restraint is
not secure, tighten the LATCH attachment
as necessary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child re-
straints fit in all types of vehicles.6. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 3
through 5.

RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS — FRONT
PASSENGER AND REAR BENCH
SEAT (Crew cab models only)
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used
when installing a child restraint. Failure to
use the ALR mode will result in the child
restraint not being properly secured. The
restraint could tip over or be loose and
cause injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision. Also, it can change the opera-
tion of the front passenger air bag. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
later in this section.Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
Safety” and “Child Restraint” sections before in-
stalling a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the
rear seats (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
forward-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.

WARNING
cThe three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a

cDo not install a child restraint system
on the passenger’s side jump seat with-
out unfolding the seat extender.
cA child restraint system will not be in-
stalled properly and the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.
– Never install a child restraint system
on the driver’s side jump seat.
– Do not install a child restraint system
on the passenger’s side jump seat
without unfolding the seat extender.cTo install a rear-facing child restraint on
the passenger’s side jump seat, it will
be necessary to move the front passen-
ger’s seat fully forward and place the
front seatback upright or tilt it forward.
Failure to do so may cause the child
restraint to not be installed properly
and cause serious injury or death in a
sudden stop or collision.
– The front seat cannot be used when a
rear-facing child restraint is installed
on the jump seat. Attempting to do so
could cause serious injury in a sud-
den stop or collision.
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
Safety” and “Child Restraint” sections before in-
