THE SEAT BELTS — FRONT
PASSENGER AND JUMP SEATS
(King Cab models only)
WARNING
● The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag
and status light” in this section.
● If a child restraint system is not in-
stalled properly, the child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a sudden stop
or collision.
– Do not install a child restraint system on the passenger’s side jump seat
without unfolding the seat extender.
– For forward-facing child seats and boosters, DO NOT install if the child
restraint system base extends past
the forward edge of the driver’s side
seat cushion.

3. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint/headrest is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be sure
to reinstall the head restraint/headrest
when the child restraint is removed. For
additional information about head
restraint/headrest adjustment, removal and installation, refer to “Head
restraints/headrests” in this section.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.
4. Route the seat belt tongue through the childrestraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.
If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point. For additional information, refer to “In-
stalling top tether strap” in this section.
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.

9. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the seat near the seat
belt path. The child restraint should not
move more than 1 inch (25 mm) from side to
side. Try to tug it forward and check to see if
the belt holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the belt as
necessary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child re-
straints fit in all types of vehicles. 10. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 9.
11. If the child restraint is installed in the frontpassenger seat, place the ignition switch in
the ON position. The front passenger air bag
status light
should illuminate. If this
light is not illuminated, refer to “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” in this sec-
tion. Move the child restraint to another
seating position. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode (child re-
straint mode) is canceled.
