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 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.
LRS0455
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
. 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-

LRS0464
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.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats
or the front passenger seat.

CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode when using a booster seatwith the seat belts.
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety”, “Child restraints” and “Boos-
ter seats” sections earlier in this section
before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a booster
seat in the rear seat or in the front
passenger seat:

SSS0640
1.If you must install a booster seat in
the front seat, move the seat to the
rearmost position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a forward-facing
direction. Always follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions.
LRS0454
Front passenger position
3. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint or headrest to obtain
the correct booster seat fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to
reinstall the head restraint or head-
rest when the booster seat is re-
moved. See “Head restraints/
headrests” (P.1-14) for head restraint
or headrest adjustment, removal and
installation information.
If the seating position does not have
an adjustable head restraint or a
headrest 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.1-20).

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.1-62).
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information
concerning the following systems.
. Driver and passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag (NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System)
. Driver and front passenger supple-
mental knee air bag
. Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag
. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bag
. Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag sys-
tem: The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem can help cushion the impact force to
the head and chest of the driver and front
passenger in certain frontal collisions.
Driver and front passenger supplemen-
tal knee air bag system: This system can
help cushion the impact force to the
driver’s and front passenger’s knees in
certain collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag system: This system
can help cushion the impact force to the
chest and pelvis area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side impact
collisions. The supplemental side air bag is designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system:
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in front
and rear (2nd and 3rd) outboard seating
positions in certain side impact or rollover
collisions. In a side impact, the curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted. In a roll-
over, the curtain air bags on both sides
are designed to inflate. Under both side-
impact and rollover situations, the curtain
air bags will remain inflated for a short
period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to
supplement the crash pro-
tection provided by the driver and pas-
senger seat belts and are not a
substitute for them. Seat belts should
always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument pa-
nel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”
(P.1-20) for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag

warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn
off after about 7 seconds if the systems
are operational.

WARNING
.The front air bags ordinarily will
not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision.
Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of acci-
dents.
. The front passenger air bag and
front passenger knee air bag will
not inflate if the front passenger
air bag status light is lit or if the
front passenger seat is unoccu-
pied. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-62).
. The seat belts and the front air
bags are most effective when you
are sitting well back and upright
in the seat. The front air bags
inflate with great force. Even with
the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System, if you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries
from the front air bag if you are
up against it when it inflates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far-away as practical
from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Always use the seat
belts.
. The driver and front passenger
seat belt buckles are equipped
with sensors that detect if the
seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors
the severity of a collision and seat
belt usage then inflates the air
bags. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with occupant classifi-
cation sensors (weight sensors)
that turn the front passenger air
bag and front passenger knee air
bag OFF under some conditions.
These sensors are only used in
this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt
can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident. See
“Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P.1-62).
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them in-
side the steering wheel rim could increase the risk of injury if the
front air bag inflates.

WARNING
.Never let children ride unrest-
rained or extend their hands or
face out of the window. Do not
attempt to hold them in your lap
or arms. Some examples of dan-
gerous riding positions are
shown in the illustrations.
. Children may be severely injured
or killed when the front air bags,
side air bags or curtain air bags
inflate if they are not properly
restrained. Pre-teens and chil-
dren should be properly re-
strained in the rear seat, if
possible.
. Even with the NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System, never install a
rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat. An inflating front air
bag could seriously injure or kill
your child. See “Child restraints”
(P.1-32) for details.
