WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed
using the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
The child restraint to�f tether stra�f must be used
when installing the child restraint with the seat
belts.
First, secure the child restraint with the seat belt.
1. Fli�f u�f the anchor cover from the anchor �foint which is located directly behind the
child restraint.
2. Position the to�f tether stra�f over the to�f of the seatback.
3. Secure the tether stra�f to the tether anchor �foint on the rear �farcel shelf.
4. Refer to the a�f�fro�friate child restraint installation �frocedure ste�fs earlier in this
section before tightening the tether stra�f.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap, consult a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer for details.
