2016 NISSAN QASHQAI Owner´s Manual

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.

Anchorage location
The anchor points are located on the seatback be-
hind the rear outer seating positions and should only
be used for child restraints in the rear outer posi-
tions.
For Australia:
An additional centre anchor point (where fitted) is
located on the centre seatback.
CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING ISOFIX
WARNING
•Attach ISOFIX child restraints only at the
specified locations. For the ISOFIX lower an-
chor locations, see “ISOFIX lower anchor
point locations” earlier in this section. If a child
restraint is not secured properly, your child
could be seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent.
•Do not install child restraints that require the
use of a top tether strap to seating positions
that do not have a top tether anchor.
•Do not secure a child restraint in the centre
rear seating position using the ISOFIX lower
anchors. The child restraint will not be se-
cured properly.
•Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your
fingers into the lower anchor area and feeling
to make sure there are no obstructions over
the ISOFIX anchors, such as seat belt web-
bing or seat cushion material. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly if the
ISOFIX anchors are obstructed.
•Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stance are they to be used for adult seat belts,
harnesses or for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
Installation on rear outer seats
Front-facing:
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
the proper use of your child restraint. Follow these
steps to install a front-facing child restraint on the
rear outer seats using ISOFIX:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat
j1.
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attachments to
the ISOFIX lower anchors
j2.
3. The back of the child restraint should be secured
against the vehicle seat back. If necessary, ad-
just or remove the head restraint to obtain the
correct child restraint fit. (See “Head restraints”
earlier in this section.) If the head restraint is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be sure to
install the head restraint when the child restraint
is removed. If the seating position does not have
an adjustable head restraint and it is interfering
with the proper child restraint fit, try another seat-
ing position or a different child restraint.

Installation on front passenger’s seat
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.
•Never install a child restraint with a top tether
strap on the front seat.
•NISSAN recommends that a child restraint be
installed on the rear seat. However, if you
must install a child restraint on the front pas-
senger’s seat, move the passenger’s seat to
the rearmost position.
•Child restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore must
not be used on the front passenger’s seat
when the front passenger’s air bag has not
been deactivated.
Front-facing:
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
the proper use of your child restraint. Follow these
steps to install a front-facing child restraint on the
front passenger’s seat using a 3-point type seat belt
without automatic locking mode:
1. Turn off the front passenger air bag using the
front passenger air bag switch. (See “Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS)” later in this sec-
tion.) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
and make sure that the front air bag status light
illuminates.
