will not be properly installed
using the damaged ancho-
rage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
— Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts or har-
nesses.
— A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be
used in the front passenger
seat.
— Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child
restraint.
— Infants and children should always be placed in an appro-
priate child restraint while in
the vehicle.
. When the child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with the
LATCH system or 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.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal
child restraint anchor system, referred to
as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) system. Some child
restraints include rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be con-
nected to these anchors.
For details, see “Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system”
(P.1-22).
If you do not have a LATCH compatible
child restraint, the vehicle seat belts can
be used.
Several manufacturers offer child re-
straints for infants and small 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 Stan-
dard 213. .
Check the child restraint in your
vehicle to be sure it is compatible with
the vehicle’s seat and seat belt sys-
tem.
. 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 de-
signed for your child’s height and
weight. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures.
. If the combined weight of the child
and child restraint is less than 65 lbs
(29.5 kg), you may use either the
LATCH anchors or the seat belt to
install the child restraint (not both at
the same time).
. If the combined weight of the child
and 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 instal-
lation.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories require that infants and
small children be restrained in an ap-
proved child restraint at all times while
the vehicle is being operated. Canadian

Installing top tether strap
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used to attach adult
seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the da-
maged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in acollision.
The child restraint top tether strap must
be used when installing the child restraint
with the LATCH lower anchor attach-
ments.
First, secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors (rear outboard
seating positions only).
1. Remove the head restraint and store it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint when the child
restraint is removed.
See “Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-6)
for head restraint adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
2. Position the top tether strap as shown.
3. Secure the top tether strap to the tether anchor point as shown.
4. Refer to the appropriate child restraint installation procedure steps in this
section before tightening the tether
strap.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. 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 passenger air
bag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” (P.1-48).

BOOSTER SEATS
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child
being injured or killed 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
installed in a seating position that
has a lap/shoulder belt.
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.
LRS0453
LRS0455
.Make sure the child’s head will be
properly supported by the booster
seat or vehicle seat. The seatback
must be at or above the center of
the child’s ears. For example, if a low
back booster seat
is chosen, the
vehicle seatback must be at or above
the center of the child’s ears. If the
seatback is lower than the center of
the child’s ears, a high back booster
seat
should be used.
. If the booster seat is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various
adjustments to be sure the booster
seat is compatible with your child.
Always follow all recommended pro-
cedures.

Front passenger position
3. The booster seat should be positionedon the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. If the head restraint is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head restraint
when the booster seat is removed.
See “Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-6)
for head restraint adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
If the seating position does not have a
head restraint and it is interfering with
the proper booster seat fit, try another
seating position or a different booster
seat. 4. Position the lap portion of the seat
belt low and snug on the child’s hips.
Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions for ad-
justing the seat belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take
up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the top,
middle portion of the child’s shoulder.
Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions for ad-
justing the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and instructions for properly fastening a
seat belt shown in “Seat belts” (P.1-10).

7. If the booster seat is installed in thefront passenger seat, place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position. The
front passenger air bag status light
may or may not illuminate de-
pending on the size of the child and
the type of booster seat used. See
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P.1-48).

CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key
installed in the Intelligent Key.
WARNING
.Always have the doors locked
while driving. Along with the use
of seat belts, this provides great-
er safety in the event of an
accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from
the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unin-
tentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming
traffic.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
