Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, push the
button on the buckle. The seat belt
automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement by two separate
methods:
.When the belt is pulled quickly from
the retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat
belts, check the operation as follows: .
Grasp the shoulder belt and pull for-
ward quickly. The retractor should
lock and restrict further belt move-
ment.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check, get the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service, or to learn more about
seat belt operation.

Storing 3rd row seat belt buckles
Before folding down the seat, put the
buckles in the storage of the seat cushion
to avoid dropping it under the seat
cushion.

Shoulder belt height adjustment
(for front seats and 2nd row seats)
The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position best for you.
(See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-
20).)
To adjust, push the button
, and then
move the shoulder belt anchor to the
desired position, so that the belt passes
over the center of the shoulder. The belt
should be away from your face and neck,
but not falling off of your shoulder.

WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If
the seat belt becomes wrapped
around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, 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. For the center of
the 3rd row bench seat, the connec-tor tongue
may also be released.
Release the connector tongue by
inserting a suitable tool (such as a
key) into the connector buckle
.If
the seat belt cannot 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, in-
cluding doctors, teachers, government
traffic safety offices, and community or-
ganizations. 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
. Forward-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 lbs (9 kg) should
be placed in rear-facing child restraints.
Forward-facing child restraints are avail- able 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 forward-facing child
restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special
protection. 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 “Child restraints” (P.1-32).
A child restraint may be secured in the
vehicle by using either the LATCH (Lower
Anchor and Tethers for CHildren) system
or with the vehicle seat belt. See “Child
restraints” (P.1-32) for more information.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear

4. After attaching the child restraint, testit before you place the child in it. Push
it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the LATCH attach-
ment 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 LATCH attach-
ment holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
LATCH attachment as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint or try installing
by using the vehicle seat belt (if
applicable). Not all child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
5. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat
steps 1 through 4.
REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS
WARNING
.The three-point seat belt with
Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) must be used when instal-
ling a child restraint. Failure to
use the ALR mode will result in
the child restraint not being prop-
erly 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. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light”
(P.1-62).
. When installing a child restraint
system in the 3rd center seat
position, both the center seat belt
connector tongue and buckle
tongue must be secured. See “3rd row center seat belt” (P.1-26).

repeat steps 1 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions 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 re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the LATCH
system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
SSS0645
Forward-facing web-mounted — step 2
2. Secure the child restraint anchor at-tachments to the LATCH lower an-
chors. Check to make sure the LATCH
attachment is properly attached to
the lower anchors.
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. See “Installing
top tether strap” (P.1-46). 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.

Installing top tether strap
First, secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors (2nd row captain’s
or bench outboard seating positions
only).
1. If necessary, raise or remove the headrestraint or headrest to position the
top tether strap over the top of the
seatback. 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
restraints/headrests” (P.1-15) for head
restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval 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 or headrest does not contact
the top tether strap.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap on the rear seat,
it is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
