two rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments that can be connected to two
anchors located at certain seating posi-
tions in your vehicle. With this system, you
do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to
secure the child restraint. Check your
child restraint for a label stating that it is
compatible with LATCH. This information
may also be in the instructions provided
by the child restraint manufacturer.

TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE-
STRAINT
If the manufacturer of your child restraint
requires the use of a top tether strap, it
must be secured to an anchor point.
WARNING
.In the 3rd row bench seat, a child
restraint with a top tether strap
can only be used in the outboard
seating position (right side). Do
not place it in the outboard seat-
ing position (left side) and center
position and attempt to angle the tether strap to the outboard seat-
ing position (right side).
. Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other
items or equipment to the vehi-
cle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The
child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
. Properly secure cargo and do not
allow it to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Cargo that is
not properly secured or cargo
that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. Your child
could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child
restraint top tether strap is da-
maged.
Top tether anchor point locations
Anchor points are located in the following
locations:
.2nd row bench seat (if so equipped)
on the seatback of the outboard
seating positions as shown.
. 2nd row captain’s seats (if so
equipped) on the seatback of the
outboard seating positions as shown.
. 3rd row bench seat on the seatback of
the outboard seating position (right
side) as shown.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap child restraint on
the rear seat, it is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
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 rear-facing
child restraint in the 2nd row seats using
the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.

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.1-63).
. 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).
