Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine List of approved ISOFIX and specific Universal child restraintsWARNING
Never install a rear facing child restraint sys-
tem in the front seat without first deactivating
the front passenger air bag. Supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force.
A child restraint system could be struck by
the supplemental front-impact air bag in an
accident and could seriously injure or kill your
child.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air bag
system: Do not let infants or small children sit
in the front passenger seat as the air bag may
cause serious injury in case of deployment
during a collision.
NOTE
Universal child restraints approved to ECE Regu-
lation No. 44.04 are clearly marked “Universal”.

If you must install a child restraint system in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Deactivate the front passenger air bag. See“Front passenger air bag deactivation system”
earlier in this section for further details.
2. Move the seat to the rearmost position.
3. Adjust the head restraint to its highest position. Remove it if it interferes with the child restraint
installation. In such situations, securely store the
head restraint in the luggage compartment so
that it does not become a dangerous projectile
during a sudden stop or in an accident.
4. Position the child restraint system in the front passenger seat.
Always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use. 5. Route the seat belt tongue through the child re-
straint system and insert it into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.
To prevent slack in the lap belt, secure the shoul-
der belt in place with a locking clip
jA. Use a
locking clip attached to the child restraint sys-
tem, or one which is equivalent in dimensions
and strength.
Be sure to follow the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing.
6. Slide the seat forwards so that the seat belt fully tightens the child restraint system and the child
restraint reaches the vehicle dashboard.
7. Test the child restraint system before you place the child in it. Check that it does not tilt too far
from side to side. Try to tug it forwards and check
if it is held securely in place.
INSTALLATION OF A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON REAR
SEATS
WARNING
NISSAN recommends that infants or small
children be seated in a child restraint system.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.
The direction of the child restraint system de-
pends on the type of the child restraint sys-
tem and the size of the child.
Front-facing
When you install a front-facing child restraint system
in a rear outer or centre seat, follow these steps:

ISOFIX SYSTEM (where fitted)
WARNING
Attach ISOFIX compatible child restraint sys-
tems only at the locations shown. If a child
restraint is not secured properly, your child
could be seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent.
The rear seat is equipped with 2 ISOFIX com-
patible child restraint systems, on both outer
seats ONLY. Do not secure a child restraint in
the rear centre seating position using the child
restraint lower anchors. The child restraint will
not be secured properly.
The ISOFIX system anchors are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses.
Some child restraints include two rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be connected to two
anchors located at certain seating positions in your
vehicle. This system is known 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 ISOFIX system
compatible child restraints on the rear seat. Check
your child restraint for a label stating that it is com-
patible with the ISOFIX system. This information
may also be in the child restraint owner’s manual. If
you have such a child restraint, refer to the illustra-
tion for the rear seating positions equipped with
ISOFIX system anchors which can be used to se-
cure the child restraint.
The ISOFIX system anchors are located at the rear
of the seat cushion near the seatback on the rear
seat. Labels are attached to the seat cushion to help
you locate the ISOFIX system anchors (as illus-
trated). CAUTION
The child restraint may also require the use of
a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap for
child restraint” later in this section for instal-
lation instructions. Alternatively, the child re-
straint may require an anti-rotation device
such as support leg. Refer to the child re-
straint system manufacturer’s 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 an ISOFIX system compatible child
restraint to the lower anchor attachments in the rear
seat, follow these steps:
1. Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your fin- gers into the lower anchor area and make sure
there are no obstructions over the ISOFIX sys-
tem anchors, such as seat belt webbing or seat
cushion material. The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the ISOFIX system anchors
are obstructed.
2. To install the ISOFIX system compatible child restraint, insert the child restraint ISOFIX system
anchor attachments into the anchor points on the
rear seat. See “Top tether strap for child
restraint” later in this section for installation in-
structions.
3. Fit the ISOFIX funnel guides (supplied with the
NPA983
1-26Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ISOFIX child seat – where fitted) to the vehicle
ISOFIX brackets located in slots on the slope of
the rear outer seat cushions (refer to the ISOFIX
label for appropriate locations).
4. After attaching the child restraint and before plac- ing the child in it, use force to check that it does
not tilt too far from side to side and tug it forward
to make sure that the child restraint is securely
held in place. Make sure that both ISOFIX an-
chorages have latched correctly.
5. Make sure that the child restraint is properly se- cured prior to each use.
NOTE
For forward facing ISOFIX child restraint posi-
tion on the rear seat, slide the front seat as far
forwards as possible.
For rearward facing ISOFIX child restraint po-
sition on the rear seat, slide the front seat
backwards until it touches the edge of the
child restraint.
TOP TETHER STRAP FOR CHILD
RESTRAINT
j
A Top tether clip
jB Child restraint anchor bar
The top tether strap of the child restraint must be
secured to the provided anchor point of your vehicle
(see “Anchor point locations (where fitted)” later in
this section).
Installing top tether strap
1. Adjust the head restraint to the upper position.
2. Position the top tether strap over the top of the seatback beneath the head restraint. Secure the
top tether hook to the tether anchor bracket that
provides the straightest installation. Tighten the
strap according to manufacturer’s instructions to
remove any slack.
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult seat
belts, harnesses or for attaching other items
or equipment to the vehicle.
The child restraint top tether strap may be
damaged by contact with the rear parcel shelf
or items in the luggage compartment area.
Remove the rear parcel shelf from the vehicle
or secure it in the luggage compartment area
see “Rear parcel shelf (where fitted)” later in
this section. Also, secure any loose items in
the luggage compartment. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision if
the top tether strap is damaged.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-27

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Anchor point locations (where fitted)
The anchor points are located under a cover on the
rear seatback (luggage compartment side).
WARNING
Refer to the child restraint manufacturer’s
manual for proper installation of the child re-straint’s top tether on the rear seat. If in doubt,
consult a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
Only the anchor points can be used for top
tether strap anchorage.
CAUTION
If you have any questions when installing a top
tether strap child restraint on the rear seat, con-
sult a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for
details.
