3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is
fully extended. At this time, the belt retractor
is in the automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode). It reverts back to emergency
locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the belt to
remove any slack in the belt.5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to tilt the child restraint from side to
side, and tug it forward to make sure that it is
securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm).
6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt out of
the retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt
webbing out of the retractor, the belt is in the
automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the belt
is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 6.

LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS AND
TETHERS FOR CHILDREN)
SYSTEM
WARNING

Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the locations
shown. If a child restraint is not se-
cured properly, your child could be
seriously injured or killed in an
accident.
Do not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using the
child restraint lower anchors. The
child restraint will not be secured
properly.

The LATCH system anchors are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstance are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Some child restraints include two rigid or
webbing-mounted attachments that can be con-
nected to two anchors located at certain seating
positions in your vehicle. This system is known
as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system. This system may also be
referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible
system. With this system, you do not have to use
a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint.
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system com-
patible child restraints. Check your child restraint
for a label stating that it is compatible with the
LATCH system. This information may also be in
the child restraint owner’s manual. If you have
such a child restraint, refer to the illustration for
SSS0233Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems

the seating positions equipped with LATCH
system anchors which can be used to secure the
child restraint.
The LATCH system anchors are located at the
rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. A
label is attached to the seatback to help you
locate the LATCH system anchors.
Some child restraints may also require the use of
a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap child
restraint” later in this section for installation
instructions.
When installing a child restraint, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this manual and
those supplied with the child restraint.
When you install a LATCH system compatible
child restraint to the lower anchor attachments,
follow these steps.
WARNING
Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area
and feeling to make sure there are no
obstructions over the LATCH system an-
chors, such as seat belt webbing or seat
cushion material. The child restraint willnot be secured properly if the LATCH
system anchors are obstructed.
1. To install the LATCH system compat-
ible child restraint, insert the child
restraint LATCH system anchor at-
tachments into the anchor points on
the rear. If the child restraint is
equipped with a top tether, see “Top
tether strap child restraint” later in
this section for installation instruc-
tions.
2. After attaching the child restraint and
before placing the child in it, use
force to tilt the child restraint from
side to side and tug it forward to
make sure that the child restraint is
securely held in place. It should not
move more than 1 inch (25 mm).
3. Check to make sure that the child
restraint is properly secured prior to
each use.
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
WARNING

The child restraint anchor points are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses.

After removing a rear seat head re-
straint for top tether installation,
store it securely to prevent it from
causing injury to passengers or dam-
age to the vehicle in case of sudden
braking or an accident. Always re-
place it and adjust properly when top
tether is no longer in use.

The top tether strap may be damaged
by contact with the tonneau cover or
items in the cargo area. Remove the
tonneau cover from the vehicle or
secure it and any cargo. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision if the top tether strap is
damaged.
If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it
must be secured to the anchor point provided
behind its position.
First, adjust the seatback so that it is upright.
Then secure the child restraint with the rear seat
belt or the LATCH system (outboard positions),
as applicable. For the center position
C, re-
move the anchor cover from the anchor point as
illustrated. Keep the removed cover in a secure
place to prevent loss or damage.Remove the head restraint from the seatback.
Store it in a secure place. Position the top tether
strap over the top of the seatback and secure it
to the tether anchor bracket that provides the
straightest installation. Tighten the tether strap
according to the manufacturer’s instruction to
remove any slack.
For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint
installation instructions in this section and the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
Anchor point locations
WARNING
The anchor bolt should be installed at
all times to prevent the possibility of
exhaust fumes entering the passenger
compartment through the holes. See
“Precautions when starting and driving”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section
for exhaust gas.

INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING

Never install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental air bags inflate with
great force. A rear facing child re-
straint could be struck by the supple-
mental air bag in a crash and could
seriously injure or kill your child.
NISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a front
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger
seat to the rearmost position.

A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.

The three-point belt in your vehicle is
equipped with a locking mode retrac-
tor which must be used when install-ing a child restraint.

Failure to use the retractor’s locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The child
restraint could tip over or otherwise
be unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.

Front facingIf you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front pas-
senger seat.It should be placed in a front
facing direction only.Move the seat to the
rearmost position. Adjust the head restraint to
its highest position. Always follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions.Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the 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 in-
structions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is
fully extended. At this time, the belt retractor
is in the automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode). It reverts back to emergency
locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.

4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the belt to
remove any slack in the belt.5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to tilt the child restraint from side to
side, and tug it forward to make sure that it is
securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm).
6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt out of
the retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt
webbing out of the retractor, the belt is in the
automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the lap
belt is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the seatbelt is allowed to wind back into the retractor,
the automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) is canceled; the seat belt only locks
during a sudden stop or impact.
