WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child's neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, the child can be seriously injured
or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if
the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat
belt to release the child. If the seat belt
can not be unbuckled or is already
unbuckled, release the child by cutting
the seat belt with a suitable tool (such
as a knife or scissors) to release the
seat belt.
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
organizations. Every child is different, so be sure
to learn the best way to transport your child. There are three basic types of child restraint
systems:
.
Rear-facing child restraint
. Front-facing child restraint
. Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child's size.
Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less
than 20 lb (9 kg)) should be placed in rear-
facing child restraints. Front-facing child re-
straints are available for children who outgrow
rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1
year old. Booster seats are used to help position
a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no
longer use a front-facing child restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. 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
fitting seat belt could cause serious or
fatal injury. Always use appropriate
child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved child restraints for infants and small children. (See
ªChild restraintsº (P.1-19) .)
Also, there are other types of child restraints
available for larger children for additional pro-
tection.
INFANTSGUID-42ADB3F5-AAC2-4C38-8576-FD3C98AF5932Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed
in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN recom-
mends that infants be placed in child restraints
that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. You should choose a child restraint
that fits your vehicle and always follow the
manufacturer's instructions for installation and
use.
SMALL CHILDREN (for Coupe models)GUID-8826CA6D-58C8-452D-85E5-0275E62D12E3Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at
least 20 lb (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing
child restraint as long as possible up to the
height or weight limit of the child restraint.
Children who outgrow the height or weight limit
of the rear-facing child restraint and are at least
1 year old should be secured in a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness. Refer to the
manufacturer's instructions for minimum and
maximum weight and height recommendations.
NISSAN recommends that small children be
placed in child restraints that comply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or

child.
Ð Be sure to purchase a child restraint that will fit the child
and vehicle. Some child re-
straints may not fit properly in
your vehicle.
Ð Child restraint anchor points are designed to withstand loads
from child restraints that are
properly fitted.
Ð Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts or harnesses.
Ð A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat (for Road-
ster models) .
Ð Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child
restraint.
Ð Infants and children should al- ways be placed in an appropri-
ate child restraint while in the
vehicle.
. When the child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat belt.
In a sudden stop or collision, loose
objects can injure occupants or damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing a
child in the child restraint.
In general, child restraints are designed to be
installed with the lap portion of a lap/shoulder
seat belt.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints for
children of various sizes. When selecting any
child restraint, keep the following points in mind:
. Choose only a restraint with a label certifying
that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
. Check the child restraint in your vehicle to
be sure it is compatible with the vehicle's
seat and seat belt system.
. If the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is designed for your child's height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
The passenger seat is not suitable for use with a
rear-facing child restraint for infants. Therefore,
infants should not be transported in this vehicle.
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. Canadian law requires the
top tether strap on front-facing child
restraints to be secured to the designated
anchor point on the vehicle.

STRAINT (for Coupe models)
GUID-2F214B1C-4D1A-4008-9C3D-344B8DA9D83CIf the manufacturer of your child restraint
requires the use of a top tether strap, it must
be secured to an anchor point.
WARNING
. Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the

1-38Safety Ð Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure
to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly
for the most effective protection by the seat belt
and supplemental air bag.
The occupant classification sensor is designed
to operate as described above to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF for specified child
restraints. Failing to properly secure child
restrains and to use the ALR mode (child
restraint mode) may allow the restraint to tip or
move in an accident or sudden stop. This can
also result in the front passenger air bag inflating
in a crash instead of being OFF. (See ªChild
restraintsº (P.1-19) for proper use and installa-
tion.)
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the
front passenger air bag is designed not to inflate
in a crash. However, heavy objects placed on
the seat could result in air bag inflation, because
of the object being detected by the occupant
classification sensor. Other conditions could
also result in air bag inflation, such as if a child is
standing on the seat, or if two children are on the
seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status light,
you can monitor when the front passenger air
bag is automatically turned OFF with the seatoccupied. The light will not illuminate when the
front passenger seat is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the front
passenger air bag status light is illuminated
(indicating that the air bag is OFF) , it could be
that the person is a small adult, or is not sitting
on the seat properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,
the front passenger air bag status light may or
may not be illuminated, depending on the size of
the child and the type of child restraint being
used. If the front passenger air bag status light is
not illuminated (indicating that the air bag might
inflate in a crash) , it could be that the child
restraint or seat belt is not being used properly.
Make sure that the child restraint is installed
properly, the seat belt is used properly and the
occupant is positioned properly. If the front
passenger air bag status light is still not
illuminated, try a different child restraint.
If the front passenger air bag status light will not
illuminate even though you believe that the child
restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are
properly positioned, the system may be sensing
an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is
OFF) . Your NISSAN dealer can check that the
system is OFF by using a special tool. However,
until you have confirmed with your dealer that
your air bag is working properly, do not transporta child in this vehicle.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System and
front passenger air bag status light will take a
few seconds to register a change in the front
passenger seat status. However, if the seat
becomes unoccupied, the air bag status light
will remain off.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air
bag system, the supplemental air bag warning
light
, located in the meter and gauges area
will blink. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

. Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the instru-
ment panel. Also, do not place any
objects between any occupant and

This vehicle is equipped with air deflectors in
front of the front wheels. The deflectors will
change the air flow to help improve aerodynamic
performance.
When transporting your vehicle on a trailer, the
air deflectors may interfere with a steep slope to
a trailer bed. In this case, remove the deflectors
from the undercover of the vehicle.
1. Loosen three screws as shown and removethe left-side air deflector
*A.
2. Tighten the removed screw
*Bin its
original position. 3. Perform the same procedure to remove the
right-side air deflector.
4. Store the two air deflectors and four screws to reinstall in the reverse order.
5. When reinstalling, make sure all six screws are firmly tightened on both air deflectors.
