Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
The seat may move suddenly and could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.
After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
The seatback should not be reclined any more
than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most
effective when the passenger sits well back
and upright in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt
and being injured is increased.
When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain that they are completely
secured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop. When
operating the seatback release always rock
the seatback afterward to check that it is
locked.
When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo,
properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area
or on the rear seat when it is in the folded-
down position. Use of these areas by passen-
gers without proper restraints could result in
serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
Closely supervise children when they are
around the vehicle to prevent them from play-
ing and being locked in the luggage compart-
ment where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the vehicle locked with the rear seat-
back securely latched when not in use, and
prevent children from having access to the
vehicle’s keys.FRONT SEATS

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINT USAGE
Infants and small children should alwaysbe placed
in an infant or child restraint while riding in the ve-
hicle.
WARNING
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 an
accident. The child could be crushed between
the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not
put the same seat belt around a child and
yourself. In general, child restraints are de-
signed to be installed with the lap portion of a
three-point type seat belt.
NISSAN recommends installing the child re-
straint on the rear seat. According to accident
statistics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
1-18Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine An improperly installed child restraint could
lead to serious injury in an accident.
Child restraints specially designed for infants and
small children are offered by several manufacturers.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the follow-
ing points in mind:
Choose a child restraint that complies with the
latest European safety standard, ECE Regula-
tion 44.04.
Place your child in the child restraint and check
the various adjustments to be sure that the child
restraint is suitable for your child. Always follow
all of the recommended procedures.
Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat belt
system.
Refer to the tables further on in this section for a
list of the recommended fitment positions and
the approved child restraint for your vehicle.
WARNING
Never install a rear facing child restraint in the
front seat without first deactivating the front
passenger air bag.
Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned to
fit the child seat; however, the seatback
should be as upright as possible.
Follow all of the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
Choose a child restraint appropriate to the
child and the vehicle. It may not be possible
to properly install some types of child restraint
in your vehicle.
Improper use of a child restraint can increase
injuries to the infant or child and other occu-
pants in the vehicle.
When your child restraint is not in use, keep it
secured with a seat belt to prevent it from
being thrown forwards in case of a sudden
stop or accident.
Remember that a child restraint left in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. Check the seat-
ing surface and buckles before placing your
child in the child restraint.
After attaching a child restraint, test the seat
before you place the child in it. Check that it
does not tilt too far from side to side. Try to
tug it forwards and check whether the belt
holds it in place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the belt as necessary, or put the re-
straint in another seat and test it again.
If the child restraint is not anchored properly,
the risk of a child being injured in a collision
or sudden stop greatly increases.
The front passenger seat should be
positioned to fit the child seat appropriately.
See “Installation of a child restraint system on
the front passenger seat” later in this section.
For a front facing child restraint installed on a
three-point type lap/shoulder belt, make sure the shoulder belt does not go in front of the
child’s face or neck. If it does, put the shoul-
der belt behind the child restraint.
If the child restraint is equipped with a locking
clip, ensure that the clip is securely fastened
to the vehicle seat belt. If the locking clip is
not used, injuries could result from the child
restraint tipping over during normal vehicle
braking or cornering.

If you must install a child restraint system in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Deactivate the front passenger air bag. See“Front passenger air bag deactivation system”
earlier in this section for further details.
2. Move the seat to the rearmost position.
3. Adjust the head restraint to its highest position. Remove it if it interferes with the child restraint
installation. In such situations, securely store the
head restraint in the luggage compartment so
that it does not become a dangerous projectile
during a sudden stop or in an accident.
4. Position the child restraint system in the front passenger seat.
Always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use. 5. 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, secure the shoul-
der belt in place with a locking clip
jA. Use a
locking clip attached to the child restraint sys-
tem, or one which is equivalent in dimensions
and strength.
Be sure to follow the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing.
6. Slide the seat forwards so that the seat belt fully tightens the child restraint system and the child
restraint reaches the vehicle dashboard.
7. Test the child restraint system before you place the child in it. Check that it does not tilt too far
from side to side. Try to tug it forwards and check
if it is held securely in place.

ISOFIX SYSTEM (where fitted)
WARNING
Attach ISOFIX compatible child restraint sys-
tems only at the locations shown. If a child
restraint is not secured properly, your child
could be seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent.
The rear seat is equipped with 2 ISOFIX com-
patible child restraint systems, on both outer
seats ONLY. Do not secure a child restraint in
the rear centre seating position using the child
restraint lower anchors. The child restraint will
not be secured properly.
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 on the rear seat. Check
your child restraint for a label stating that it is com-
patible with the ISOFIX system. This information
may also be in the child restraint owner’s manual. If
you have such a child restraint, refer to the illustra-
tion for the rear seating positions equipped with
ISOFIX system anchors which can be used to se-
cure the child restraint.
The ISOFIX system anchors are located at the rear
of the seat cushion near the seatback on the rear
seat. Labels are attached to the seat cushion to help
you locate the ISOFIX system anchors (as illus-
trated). 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:
1. Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your fin- gers into the lower anchor area and make sure
there are no obstructions over the ISOFIX sys-
tem anchors, such as seat belt webbing or seat
cushion material. The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the ISOFIX system anchors
are obstructed.
2. To install the ISOFIX system compatible child restraint, insert the child restraint ISOFIX system
anchor attachments into the anchor points on the
rear seat. See “Top tether strap for child
restraint” later in this section for installation in-
structions.
3. Fit the ISOFIX funnel guides (supplied with the
