Forward-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
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 forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle
seat belt in the rear seats or in the frontpassenger 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 posi-
tion. Child restraints for infants must
be used in the rear-facing direction
and, therefore, must not be used in
the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint or headrest to obtain
the correct child restraint 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 child restraint is re-
moved. See “Head restraints/
headrests” (P.1-15) 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 child restraint fit, try another
seating position or a different child restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue throughthe child restraint and insert it into the
buckle until you hear and feel the
latch engage. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for belt routing.
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether strap, route the top tether
strap and secure the tether strap to
the tether anchor point (rear seat
installation only). See “Installing top
tether strap” (P.1-50). Do not install
child restraints that require the use of
a top tether strap in seating positions
that do not have a top tether anchor.
SSS0651
Forward-facing — step 4
4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt isfully extended. At this time, the seat
belt retractor is in the Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child
restraint mode). It reverts to Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.
SSS0652
Forward-facing — step 5
5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the shoulder belt to remove any
slack in the belt.

SSS0653
Forward-facing — step 6
6. Remove any additional slack from theseat belt; press downward and rear-
ward firmly in the center of the child
restraint with your knee to compress
the vehicle seat cushion and seatback
while pulling up on the seat belt.
7. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to
remove any slack.
SSS0641
Forward-facing — step 8
8. 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 seat belt 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 belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the seat belt as necessary, or
put the restraint 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.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 2 through 8.

10. If the child restraint is installed in thefront passenger seat, place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position. The
front passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-63). Move
the child restraint to another seating
position. Have the system checked. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

Installing top tether strap
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 seating position (left
side) and center position and at-
tempt to angle the tether strap to
the outboard seating position (right
side).
First, secure the child restraint with the

seat belt.
1. If necessary, raise or remove the headrestraint or headrest to position the
top tether strap over the top of the
seatback. If the head restraint or
headrest is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to reinstall the
head restraint or headrest when the
child restraint is removed. See “Head
restraints/headrests” (P.1-15) for head
restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
2. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point on the back of each
seatback (2nd row seat) or right side
seatback (3rd row seat) behind the
child restraint.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to
remove any slack. Make sure the head
restraint or headrest does not contact
the top tether strap.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap on the rear seat,
it is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.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.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-51

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- cedures.
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.
Booster seat installation
CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode when using a booster seat

with 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

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.1-15) for head restraint
or headrest adjustment, removal and
installation information.

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.
