2016 NISSAN LEAF seat adjustment

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 certify-ing that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle 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. • 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
1is 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. • If the booster seat is compatible with your ve-
hicle, place your child in the booster seat and
check the various adjustments to be sure the
booster seat is compatible with your child. Al-
ways 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.

dust gets inside the charge port, this
may cause a malfunction.
• Pay particular attention when using the normal charge port as the charge
port lid can be closed even when the
normal charge port cap is open.
• Close the quick charge (if so equipped) port cap before closing the charging
lid. The quick charge port cap can be
damaged if it is open when closing the
charge port lid.WARNING

vehicle and cause an accident.
• Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.

force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of po-
sition in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal inju-
ries from the air bag if you are up
against it when it inflates. Always sit
back against the seatback and as far
away as practical from the steering
wheel. Always use the seat belts.
