TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE-
STRAINT
If your child restraint has a top tether strap,
it must be secured to the provided anchor
point. First, secure the child restraint with
the rear seat belt.
Flip up the anchor cover from the anchor
point which is located directly behind the
child seat.
Secure the top tether strap to the anchor
bracket.
WARNING
Child restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Anchor point locations
Anchor points are located on the rear parcel
shelf finisher.
When installing a top strap child re-
straint on the rear seat for the first time,
consult your NISSAN dealer for details.

INSTALLATION ON FRONT PAS-
SENGER SEAT
WARNING
cNever 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
supplemental front air bag in a crash
and could seriously injure or kill
your child.cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a
forward-facing child restraint in the
front passenger seat, move the pas-
senger seat to the rear most posi-
tion.
cA child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.cThe three-point seat belt in your ve-
hicle is equipped with a locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.

If you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat.It should be placed in
a forward-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 direc-
tion 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 manu-
facturer's instructions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the
belt is fully extended. At this time, the
seat belt retractor is in the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode). It
reverts back to emergency locking mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.
