7. Af ter attaching the child restraint, test itbefore you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the seat
near the seat belt path. The child re-
straint should not move more than
1 inch (25 mm), from side to side. Try to
tug it forward and check to see if the
seat belt holds the restraint in place. If
the restraint is not secure, tighten the
seat belt as necessary, or put the re-
straint in another seat and test it again.
You may need to try a different child
restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles. 8. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to each
use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 3 through 7.
Af ter the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.

“Child restraints” sections of this manual
before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs., (29.5 kg) use

WARNING
∙ Do not secure the top tether strap tothe routing bracket. If the child re-
straint is not anchored properly, the
risk of a child being injured or killed in
a collision or a sudden stop greatly
increases.
∙ 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 in-
stalled using the damaged anchor-
ages, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
The child restraint top tether strap must be
used when installing the child restraint with
LATCH lower anchor attachments. First, secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors (rear seating posi-
tions).
1. Pull the cover plate off to access the top tether strap routing bracket for the
jump seat.
2. Route the top tether strap through the routing bracket.
3. Secure the top tether strap to the tether anchor point as shown.
4. Refer back to child restraint installation steps before tightening the tether
strap.
If you have any questions when install-
ing a top tether strap, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this

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 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 passenger air bag. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” in this
section.
∙ If a child restraint system is not in- stalled properly, the child could be se-
riously injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.
– Do not install a child restraint sys- tem 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 driv-
er’s side seat cushion. For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the “Child safety” and
“Child restraints” sections of this manual
before installing a child restraint.

bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg) use

to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation. Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the jump seats (King Cab® models)
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.
