side to side while holding the seat near the
seat belt path. The child restraint should not
move more than 1 inch (25 mm) from side to
side. Try to tug it forward and check to see if
the belt holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the belt 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. 9. Check that the retractor is in the ALR mode
by trying to pull more seat belt out of the
retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt
webbing out of the retractor, the retractor is
in the ALR mode.
10. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 9.

PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER SEATS
WARNING
. Infants and small children should
always be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while riding in the
vehicle. Failure to use a child re-
straint or booster seat can result in
serious injury or death.
. Infants and small children should
never be carried on your lap. It is not
possible for even the strongest
adult to resist the forces of a severe
accident. The child could be crushed between the adult and parts of the
vehicle. Also, do not put the same
seat belt around both your child and
yourself.
. NISSAN recommends that the boos-
ter seat be installed in the rear seat.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat. If you must install a
booster seat in the front seat, see
“BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION”
later in this section.
. A booster seat must only be in-
stalled in a seating position that has
a lap/shoulder belt. Failure to use a
three-point type seat belt with a
booster seat can result in a serious
injury in sudden stop or collision.
. Improper use or improper installa-
tion of a booster seat can increase
the risk or severity of injury for both
the child and other occupants of the
vehicle and can lead to serious
injury or death in an accident.
. Do not use towels, books, pillows or
other items in place of a booster
seat. Items such as these may moveBOOSTER SEATS

during normal driving or a collision
and result in serious injury or death.
Booster seats are designed to be
used with a lap/shoulder belt. Boos-
ter seats are designed to properly
route the lap and shoulder portions
of the seat belt over the strongest
portions of a child’s body to provide
the maximum protection during a
collision.
. Follow all of the booster seat man-
ufacturer’s instructions for installa-
tion and use. When purchasing a
booster seat, be sure to select one
which will fit your child and vehicle.
It may not be possible to properly
install some types of booster seats
in your vehicle.
. If the booster seat and seat belt is
not used properly, the risk of a child
being injured in a collision or a
sudden stop greatly increases.
. Adjustable seatbacks should be
positioned to fit the booster seat,
but as upright as possible.
. After placing the child in the booster
seat and fastening the seat belt,
make sure the shoulder portion of the belt is away from the child’s face
and neck and the lap portion of the
belt does not cross the abdomen.
. Do not put the shoulder belt behind
the child or under the child’s arm. If
you must install a booster seat in
the front seat, see “BOOSTER SEAT
INSTALLATION” later in this section.
. When your booster seat is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat belt
to prevent it from being thrown
around in case of a sudden stop or
accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the booster
seat.
LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in mind:
.Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
. Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.

LRS0453
.Make sure the child’s head will be properly
supported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat. The seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. For example, if a
low back booster seat
*1
is chosen, the
vehicle seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. If the seatback is
lower than the center of the child’s ears, a
high back booster seat
*2
should be used.
LRS0464
. If the booster seat is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is compatible with
your child. Always follow all recommended
procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.
The instructions in this section apply to booster
seat installation in the rear seats or the front
passenger seat.
BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION
WARNING
NISSAN recommends that booster
seats be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a booster
seat in the front passenger seat, move
the passenger’s seat to the rearmost
position.
CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode
when using a booster seat with the
seat belts.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in the
rear seat or in the front passenger seat:

3. The booster seat should be positioned onthe vehicle seat so that it is stable. If
necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. (See “HEAD RESTRAINTS”
earlier in this section.)
If the head restraint/headrest is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint/headrest when the boos-
ter seat is removed.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper booster seat fit,
try another seating position or a different
booster seat.

Be sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the top, middle portion of the child’s
