2020 NISSAN FRONTIER warning

A booster seat should be used until the
child can pass the seat belt fit test below:
• Are the child’s back and hips against thevehicle seatback?
• Is the child able to sit without slouching?
• Do the child’s knees bend easily over the front edge of the seat with feet flat on the
floor?
• Can the child safely wear the seat belt (lap belt low and snug across the hips and
shoulder belt across mid-chest and
shoulder)?
• Is the child able to use the properly ad- justed head restraint/headrest?
• Will the child be able to stay in position for the entire ride? If you answered no to any of these ques-
tions, the child should remain in a booster
seat using a three-point type seat belt.
NOTE:
Laws in some communities may follow
different guidelines. Check local and
state regulations to confirm your child is
using the correct restraint system before
traveling.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any
seat and do not allow a child in the
cargo area. The child could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop or col-
lision.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
• Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use and instal-
lation of child restraints could result
in serious injury or death of a child or
other passengers in a sudden stop or
collision:
– Do not install rear-facing child re-
straints in the driver's side rear
seating position. –
For forward-facing child seats
and boosters, DO NOT install if the
child restraint base extends past
the forward edge of the seat
cushion.
– The child restraint must be used
and installed properly. Always fol-
low all of the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions for instal-
lation and use.
– Infants and children should never
be held on anyone's lap. Even the
strongest adult cannot resist the
forces of a collision. –
Do not put a seat belt around both
a child and another passenger.
– NISSAN recommends that all child
restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Studies show that children
are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in
the front seat. If you must install a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front seat, refer to “Forward-
facing child restraint installation
using the seat belts” in this
section.
– Even with the NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System, never install a
rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat. An inflating air bag
could seriously injure or kill a child.
A rear-facing child restraint must
only be used in the rear seat.
– Be sure to purchase a child re-
straint that will fit the child and
vehicle. Some child restraints may
not fit properly in your vehicle.

LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special an-
chor points that are used with LATCH sys-
tem compatible child restraints. This sys-
tem may also be referred to as the ISOFIX
or ISOFIX compatible system. With this sys-
tem, you do not have to use a vehicle seat
belt to secure the child restraint unless the
combined weight of the child and child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs., (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and child restraint
is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg) use the vehi-cle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint. Be sure to follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation.
The LATCH lower anchor points are pro-
vided to install child restraints in the rear
outboard seating positions only. Do not at-
tempt to install a child restraint in the cen-
ter position using the LATCH lower an-
chors.
LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use and installa-
tion of child restraints could result in se-
rious injury or death of a child or other
passengers in a sudden stop or collision:
–
Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the locations
shown in the illustration.
–
Do not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using the
LATCH lower anchors. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly.
– Inspect the lower anchors by insert-
ing your fingers into the lower an-
chor area. Feel to make sure there
are no obstructions over the an-
chors such as seat belt webbing or
seat cushion material. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly if
the lower anchors are obstructed.

Installing child restraint LATCH
lower anchor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include
two rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments that can be connected to two an-
chors located at certain seating positions
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.When installing a child restraint, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child
restraint.
Top tether anchor
WARNING
• Do not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to
the top tether anchor. Properly se-
cure the cargo so it does not contact
the top tether strap. Cargo that is not
properly secured or cargo that con-
tacts the top tether strap may dam-
age it during a collision. A child could
be seriously injured or killed in a col-
lision if the top tether strap is
damaged.
• 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.

INSTALLATION USING LATCH —
JUMP SEAT (King Cab® models)
WARNING
• If a child restraint system is not in-
stalled properly, the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.
– Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint system on the driver's side
jump seat. –
Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the passenger's side jump
seat without unfolding the seat
extender.
WARNING
•
To install a rear-facing child restraint on
the passenger's side jump seat, it will
be necessary to move the front passen-
ger's seat fully forward and place the
front seatback upright or tilt it forward.
Failure to do so may cause the child
restraint to not be installed properly
and cause serious injury or death in a
sudden stop or collision.
–The front seat cannot be used when
a rear-facing child restraint is in-
stalled on the jump seat. Attempting
to do so could cause serious injury in
a sudden stop or collision.

5. For child restraints that are equippedwith webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the
anchor attachments. Press downward
and rearward firmly in the center of the
child restraint with your hand to com-
press the vehicle seat cushion and seat-
back while tightening the webbing of
the anchor attachments. 6. Af ter attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the LATCH attachment
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 attachment
holds the restraint in place. If the re-
straint is not secure, tighten the LATCH
attachment as necessary, or put the re-
straint 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.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 1
through 6.

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 properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury or death to a
child in a sudden stop or collision. Also,
it can change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section.
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.
