2nd row seat
Installing top tether strap (2nd row seats)
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or 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 achild could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.
First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH
lower anchors.
1. If necessary, raise or remove the head restraint to position the top tether strap over
the top of the seatback. If the head restraint
is removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head restraint when the
child restraint is removed. See “Head
restraints/headrests” (P.1-10) for head re-
straint adjustment, removal and installation
information.
2. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point on the back of each seatback behind
the child restraint.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack. Make sure the head restraint does not
contact the top tether strap.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap on the rear seat, it is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELT
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 re-
straint 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
passenger air bag. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light ”(P.1-
55) .
. When installing a child restraint
system in the 3rd row center posi-
tion, both the center seat belt con-
nector tongue and buckle tongue
must be secured. See “3rd row
center seat belt” (P.1-20) .
SSS0640
Forward-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
safety” and “Child restraints” sections before
installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg) . If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs, (29.5 kg) use the vehicle’s
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions for installa-
tion.

Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the
rear seats or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and, therefore,
must not be used in the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint or
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint or headrest when the child
restraint is removed. See “Head re-
straints/headrests” (P.1-10) for head re-
straint or headrest adjustment, removal and
installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest and it
is interfering with the proper child restraint
fit, try another seating position or a different child restraint.

Forward-facing — step 3
3. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions 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 (rear seat installation only) . See
“Installing top tether strap (2nd row seats)”
(P.1-44) and “Installing top tether strap (3rd
row seat)” (P.1-44) . Do not install child
restraints that require the use of a top tether
strap in seating positions that do not have a
top tether anchor.

Forward-facing — step 10
10. If the child restraint is installed in the front
passenger seat, place the ignition switch in

status light
should illuminate. If this light
is not illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section. Move
the child restraint to another seating
position. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a sudden stop or collision
greatly increases:
.
Make sure the shoulder portion of
the belt is away from the child’s face
and neck and the lap portion of the
belt does not cross the stomach.
. Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the child ’s
arm.
. A booster seat must only be in-
stalled in a seating position that has
a lap/shoulder belt.
LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in mind:
.Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
. Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.
