WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/head-
rests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or re-
move the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, rein-
stall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to
follow these instructions 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 positions
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 integrated,
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/head-
rests 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 reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.

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)
If 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

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 “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
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 “Installing top tether strap (for
Coupe models)” (P.1-26) .
SSS0651Front-facing — step 4
4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fullyextended. At this time, the seat belt retractor
is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode (child restraint mode) . It reverts to
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.

6. Remove any additional slack from the seatbelt; press downward and rearward firmly in
the center of the child restraint with your
knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while pulling up on the seat
belt.
7. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.
SSS0641Front-facing — step 8
8. After attaching the child restraint, test itbefore 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
Page 48 of 428
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2
through 8.
SSS0988Front-facing — step 11
10. If the child restraint is installed in the frontpassenger seat, push the ignition 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.1-37). Have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled.

BOOSTER SEATS
Precautions on booster seats
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.
