WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supple-
ment the other vehicle safety sys-
tems. They may provide additional
protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjustable head
restraints/headrests must be ad-
justed properly, as specified in this
section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head re-
straint/headrest stalks or remove
the head restraint/headrest. Do not
use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the
head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust
the head restraint/headrest before
an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions can reduce the effectiveness of
the head restraint/headrest. This
may increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a collision.
SSS1007
The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with head restraints/
headrests.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
. Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
. Adjustable head restraints/headrests
have multiple notches along the stalk
to lock them in a desired adjustment
position.
. The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch
to secure them to the seat frame. .
Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the
head restraint/headrest so the
center of your ear is approximately
level with the center of the head
restraint/headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment,
place the head restraint/headrest
at the highest position.
. If the head restraint/headrest has
been removed, ensure that it is re-
installed and locked in place before
riding in that designated seating posi-
tion.

could damage the child restraint
anchorages. The child restraint
will not be properly installed
using the damaged anchorage,
and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
. If the cargo cover (if so equipped)
contacts the top tether strap
when it is attached to the top
tether anchor, remove the cargo
cover from the vehicle or secure it
on the cargo floor below its at-
tachment location. If the cargo
cover is not removed, it may
damage the top tether strap dur-
ing a collision. Your child could be
seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the child restraint top
tether strap is damaged.
. Do not allow cargo to contact the
top tether strap when it is at-
tached to the top tether anchor.

SSS0640Front-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.
Follow these steps to install a front-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt
in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in
a front-facing direction only. Move
the seat to the rearmost position.
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/headrest to obtain the
correct child restraint fit. If the head
restraint/headrest is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint/headrest when
the child restraint is removed. See
“Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-6) for
head restraint adjustment, removal
and installation information.
If the seating position does not have
an adjustable head restraint/headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try a different child
restraint.
SSS0360BFront-facing — step 3
3. 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 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. See “Installing
top tether strap (for Coupe models)”
(P.1-27).

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.
SSS0988Front-facing — step 11
10. If the child restraint is installed in the
front passenger seat, push the igni-
tion switch to 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.1-39). 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.

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 front passenger seat:
SSS0640
1. If you must install a booster seat in
the front seat, adjust the seatback
so that it is upright and then move
the seat to the rearmost position. Do
not move the seat with the booster
seat attached to it.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a front-facing direc-
tion. Always follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions.
LRS0454
3. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint/headrest to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the head
restraint/headrest is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint/headrest when
the booster seat is removed. See
“Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-6) for

WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the seat heater if you or the occu-
pants cannot monitor elevated seat
temperatures or have an inability to
feel pain in those body parts in
contact with the seat. Use of the seat
heater by such people could result in
serious injury.
CAUTION
.The battery could run down if the
seat heater is operated while the
engine is not running.
. Do not use the seat heater for
extended periods or when no one
is using the seat.
. Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a
blanket, cushion, seat cover, etc.
Otherwise, the seat may become
overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or
heavy on the seat or pierce it with
a pin or similar object. This may
result in damage to the heater. .
Any liquid spilled on the heated
seat should be removed immedi-
ately with a dry cloth.
. When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar
materials.
. If any malfunctions are found or
the heated seat does not operate,
turn the switch off and have the
system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

HEATED SEATS (if so equipped)

CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners when
washing the wheels.
Aluminum alloy wheels
Wash regularly with a sponge dampened
in a mild soap solution, especially during
winter months in areas where road salt is
used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not
removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid
staining or discoloring the wheels:
.Do not use a cleaner that uses
strong acid or alkali contents to
clean the wheels.
. Do not apply wheel cleaners to
the wheels when they are hot.
The wheel temperature should be
the same as ambient tempera-
ture.
. Rinse the wheel to completely
remove the cleaner within 15
minutes after the cleaner is ap-
plied.
CHROME PARTS
Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the
finish.
TIRE DRESSING
NISSAN does not recommend the use of
tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a
coating to the tires to help reduce dis-
coloration of the rubber. If a tire dressing
is applied to the tires, it may react with
the coating and form a compound. This
compound may come off the tire while
driving and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take
the following precautions:
.Use a water-based tire dressing. The
coating on the tire dissolves more
easily with an oil-based tire dressing.
. Apply a light coat of tire dressing to
help prevent it from entering the tire
tread/grooves (where it would be
difficult to remove).
. Wipe off excess tire dressing using a
dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing
is completely removed from the tire
tread/grooves.
. Allow the tire dressing to dry as
recommended by tire dressing manu-
facturer. Occasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using
a vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush.
Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with a
clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with a dry soft
cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in
order to maintain the appearance of the
leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some fabric protectors contain chemicals
that may stain or bleach the seat materi-
al.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to
clean the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners
(hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensor. This can also
affect the operation of the air bag
system and result in serious perso-
nal injury.
