2016 NISSAN QASHQAI seats

properly positioned across the top, middle portion
of the shoulder and the lap belt is low on the hips.
The booster seat should also fit the vehicle seat.
Once the child has grown so that the shoulder belt
is no longer on or near the face or neck of the child,
use the shoulder belt without the booster seat. In
addition, there are many types of child restraint sys-
tem available for larger children that should be used
for maximum protection.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
Check any legal requirements applicable in your lo-
cation. For example, the U.K. has legal requirements
to use child restraints based on height and age, see
“Child restraints” later in this section for more infor-
mation
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
•Infants and small children should always be
placed in an appropriate child restraint sys-
tem while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use
a child restraint system 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 a
child and yourself.
•Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them prop-
erly. The shoulder belt may come too close to
the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit overtheir small hip bones. In an accident, an im-
properly fitting seat belt could cause serious
or fatal injury.
•NISSAN recommends that the child restraint
system be installed in the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat.
•Child restraint systems specially designed for
infants and small children are available from
several manufacturers. When selecting any
child restraint systems, place your child in the
child restraint system and check the various
adjustments to be sure that the child restraint
system is compatible with your child. Always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.
•Follow all of the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use. When
purchasing a child restraint, be sure to select
one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install some types
of child restraint in your vehicle.
•Check the child restraint system in your ve-
hicle to be sure that it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat belt system.
•For a front-facing child restraint system,
check to make sure the shoulder belt does
not fit close to child’s face or neck.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-15

•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.

The ISOFIX anchor points are located, under cov-
ers labelled ISOFIX, at the bottom of the rear seat
cushions. To access an ISOFIX anchor point insert
your finger into the cover and pull the cover off.CAUTION
Store the loose ISOFIX covers to avoid losing
them and somewhere where they will not get
damaged, for example, in the console box see
“Console box” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.
ISOFIX child restraint anchor
attachments
ISOFIX child restraints include two rigid attach-
ments that can be connected to two anchors lo-
cated in the seat. Check your child restraint for a
label stating that it is compatible with the ISOFIX
child restraints. This information may also be in the
instructions provided by the child restraint manufac-
turer.
ISOFIX child restraints generally require the use of
a top tether strap or other anti-rotation devices such
as support legs. When installing ISOFIX child re-
straints, carefully read and follow the instructions inthis manual and those supplied with the child re-
straints. See “ISOFIX child restraint system” later in
this section.
CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE
Your vehicle is designed to accommodate a child
restraint system on the rear seat. When installing a
child restraint system, carefully read and follow the
instructions in this manual and those supplied with
the child restraint system.
WARNING
•Child restraint anchorages 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, harnesses or for attaching 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 colli-
sion.
•The child restraint top tether strap may be
damaged by contact with the parcel shelf or
items in the luggage area. Remove the parcel
shelf from the vehicle or secure it and any
luggage see “Parcel shelf” in the “2. Instru-
ments and controls” section. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision if
the top tether strap is damaged.
