3. Route the seat belt tongue through the childrestraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions 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 (rear seat installation only) . See “In-
stalling top tether strap” in this section. Do
not install child restraints that require the use
of a top tether strap in seating positions that
do not have a top tether anchor. 4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. 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. 5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the
shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.

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. 8. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-
fore 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 seat belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten
the seat belt as necessary, or put the re-
straint 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 3
through 8.

10. If the child restraint is installed in the frontpassenger seat, place the ignition switch in
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 in this section.
Move the child restraint to another
seating position. 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 re-
straint mode) is canceled.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS — FRONT
PASSENGER AND JUMP SEATS
(King cab models only)
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 front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front passenger
air bag and status light” later in this
section.
● If a child restraint system is not in-
stalled properly, the child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a sudden stop
or collision.
– Do not install a child restraint system on the passenger’s side jump seat
without unfolding the seat extender.
– For forward-facing child seats and boosters, DO NOT install if the child
restraint system base extends past
the forward edge of the driver’s side
seat cushion.

Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
Safety” and “Child Restraint” sections before in-
stalling a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the
passenger’s side jump seat (King cab models
only) or in the front passenger seat:1. If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-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.Forward-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1

2. To access the jump seat extension (passen-ger’s side only)
1on the jump seat, pull up
2on the extension to unfold it to the open
position. Then unfold the two support legs
3and lower the jump seat to the full open
4seating position.
3. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’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” in this sec-
tion for head restraint/headrest 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 another seating position or a different
child restraint.

secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point. See “Installing top tether strap” in this
section. Do not install child restraints that
require the use of a top tether strap to seat-
ing positions that do not have a top tether
anchor. 5. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor
is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAP
(Front passenger seat – King cab
models only)
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used to at-
tach adult seat belts or other items or
equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint anchorages.
The child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged anchorages,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.
Before securing the child restraint with the seat
belt, 1. If necessary, raise or remove the head restraint/headrest to position the top tether
strap
1over the top of the seatback. If the
head restraint/headrest is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall the
head restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed. See “Head
restraint/headrest ” in this section for
head restraint/headrest adjustment,
removal and installation information.
2. Route the top tether strap
1between the
head restraint/headrest and the top of the
seatback. 3. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point
2on the seatback.
4. Refer back to child restraint installation steps before tightening the tether strap.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap, consult your NISSAN
dealer for details.

INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAP
(Jump seat – King cab models only)
WARNING
●Do not secure the top tether strap to the
routing bracket. If the child restraint is
not anchored properly, the risk of a
child being injured or killed in a colli-
sion or a sudden stop greatly increases. ●
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts or other items or equipment to the
vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint will not be properly installed us-
ing the damaged anchorages, and a
child could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.
First, secure the child restraint with the seat belt. 1. Pull the cover plate off to access the top tether strap routing bracket for the jump
seat.
2. Route the top tether strap
1through the
routing bracket
2.
3. Secure the top tether strap to the tether anchor point
3located between the seat
belt buckles in the center of the vehicle.
4. Refer back to child restraint installation steps before tightening the tether strap.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap, consult your NISSAN
dealer for details.

restraint/headrest” in this section for
head restraint/headrest adjustment,
removal and installation information. 2. Position the top tether strap over the top of
the seatback and under the head
restraint/headrest.

top tether strap, consult your NISSAN
dealer for details.
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 installed in a seating position that has a
lap/shoulder belt.
