PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-
STRAINTS
GUID-4828E6A7-CF34-46A3-B9FB-6852A4D3CAB2
WARNING
.Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and in-
stallation of child restraints could
result in serious injury or death of a
child or other passengers in a
sudden stop or collision:
Ð The child restraint must be used
and installed properly. Always
follow all of the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions for
installation and use.
Ð Infants and children should never be held on anyone's lap.
Even the strongest adult cannot
resist the forces of a collision.
Ð Do not put a seat belt around both a child and another pas-
senger.
Ð Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, never install a
rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat. An inflating air bag
could seriously injure or kill a child.
Ð Be sure to purchase a child restraint that will fit the child
and vehicle. Some child re-
straints may not fit properly in
your vehicle.
Ð Child restraint anchor points are designed to withstand loads
from child restraints that are
properly fitted.
Ð Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts or harnesses.
Ð A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat (for Road-
ster models) .
Ð Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child
restraint.
Ð Infants and children should al- ways be placed in an appropri-
ate child restraint while in the
vehicle.
. When the child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat belt.
In a sudden stop or collision, loose
objects can injure occupants or

damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing a
child in the child restraint.
In general, child restraints are designed to be
installed with the lap portion of a lap/shoulder
seat belt.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints for
children of various sizes. When selecting any
child restraint, keep the following points in mind:
. Choose only a restraint with a label certifying
that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
. Check the child restraint in your vehicle to
be sure it is compatible with the vehicle's
seat and seat belt system.
. If the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is designed for your child's height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
The passenger seat is not suitable for use with a
rear-facing child restraint for infants. Therefore,
infants should not be transported in this vehicle.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated. Canadian law requires the
top tether strap on front-facing child
restraints to be secured to the designated
anchor point on the vehicle.
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE-
STRAINT (for Coupe models)
GUID-2F214B1C-4D1A-4008-9C3D-344B8DA9D83CIf the manufacturer of your child restraint
requires the use of a top tether strap, it must
be secured to an anchor point.
WARNING
. Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly in-
stalled using the damaged ancho-
rage, 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 attachment location.
If the cargo cover is not removed, it
may damage the top tether strap
during 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 attached
to the top tether anchor. Properly
secure the cargo so it does not
contact the top tether strap. Cargo
that is not properly secured or cargo
that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the child restraint top

STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS (for Coupe models)
GUID-9C7EE9BA-4B50-4E46-86C5-A0087C7219BE
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the frontpassenger air bag. See ªFront passen-
ger air bag and status lightº (P.1-36) .
SSS0640
Front-facing (front passenger seat) Ð step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the ªChild
safetyº and ªChild restraintsº sections 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 front seat.

2.Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
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 ªHead restraints/headrestsº (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.

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
instructions 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 ªInstalling top tether strap (for
Coupe models)º (P.1-26) .

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

Precautions on booster seatsGUID-2FF60888-9E8E-472D-B228-6543305D4D41
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 in-
stalled 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.
. 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
*1is 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
*2should be used.
LRS0454
. 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 procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.
