INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING

Never install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental front air bags inflate
with great force. A rear facing child
restraint could be struck by the front
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 may 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
rear most 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 manufac-
turer’s instructions 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.
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 seat
belt 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.
