•The air bag warning light remains on after ap-
proximately 7 seconds.
•The air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
•The air bag warning light does not come on at
all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and/or pre-tensioner seat belt
may not function properly. It must be checked and
repaired.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you in-
form the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this manual,
child safety information is available from many other
sources, including doctors, teachers, government
traffic safety offices, and community organisations.
Every child is different, so be sure to learn the best
way to transport your child.
There are two basic types of child restraint system:
•Rear-facing child restraints
•Front-facing child restraints
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.
Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less than
9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints.
Front-facing child restraints are available for chil-
dren who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and
are at least 1 year old.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protection. The
vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly.
The shoulder belt may come too close to the
face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over their
small hip bones. In an accident, an improperly fit-
ting seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury.
Always use appropriate child restraints.
A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle by
using either the ISOFIX child restraint system or
with the vehicle seat belt, see “Child restraints” later
in this section for more information.NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens and chil-
dren be restrained in the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the front
seat.
This is especially important because your vehicle
has a supplemental restraint system (air bag sys-
tem) for the front passenger. (See “Supplemen-
tal Restraint System (SRS)” later in this section.)
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed in
a rear-facing child restraint. You should choose a
child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and
use.
SMALL CHILDREN
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at least
9 kg can be placed in a front-facing child restraint.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for mini-
mum and maximum weight and height recommen-
dations. You should choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
LARGER CHILDREN
Children who are too large for a child restraint sys-
tem should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts that are provided. If the child’s seating position
has a shoulder belt that fits close to the face or
neck, the use of a booster seat (commercially avail-
able) may help overcome this. The booster seat
should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is
CHILD SAFETY
1-14Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),
see “Front passenger air bag switch (where
fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-
sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-
flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child.
•Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned to
fit the child restraint system, but as upright as
possible.
•If the seat belt in the position where a child
restraint system is installed requires a locking
device and if it is not used, injuries could re-
sult from a child restraint system tipping over
during normal vehicle braking or cornering.
•After attaching a child restraint system, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side and tug it forward to make sure
that it is held securely in place. The child re-
straint system should not move more than 25
mm (1 in). If the restraint is not secure, tighten
the belt as necessary, or install the restraint in
another seat and test it again.
•If a child restraint system is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in a
collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.
•Improper use of a child restraint system can
increase the risk or severity of injury for both
the child and other occupants in the vehicle.
•When the child restraint system is not in use,
keep it secured with the ISOFIX child restraint
system or a seat belt to prevent it from being
thrown around in case of a sudden stop or
accident.
NISSAN recommends that infants and small chil-
dren be seated in a child restraint system. You
should choose a child restraint system that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions for installation and use. In addition, there
are many types of child restraint systems available
for larger children that should be used for maximum
protection.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing your child in
a child restraint.
CHILD RESTRAINT AND ISOFIX
INFORMATION
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 the child re-
straint is compatible with your child. Always fol-
low all of the recommended procedures.
•Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with vehicle’s seat belt sys-
tem.
•Refer to the tables later in this section for a list of
the recommended fitment positions and the ap-
proved child restraints for your vehicle.

List of approved Child Restraint Systems (CRS)WARNING
•Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),
see “Front passenger air bag switch (where
fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-
sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-
flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child.
•In vehicles equipped with a side air bag sys-
tem, do not let any infants or small children sit
in the front passenger seat as the air bag may
cause serious injury in case of deployment
during a collision.
NOTE
Child restraints approved to ECE Regulation NO.
44.04 are clearly marked with the categories such
as Universal, Semi-universal or ISOFIX.
ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor points
that are used with ISOFIX child restraint systems.
ISOFIX lower anchor point locations
The ISOFIX anchor points are provided to install
child restraints in the rear outer seating positions
only.Do not attempt to install a child restraint in
the centre position using the ISOFIX anchors.
