9. Af ter attaching the child restraint, test itbefore you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the seat
near the seat belt path. The child re-
straint 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 re-
straint is not secure, tighten the 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. 10. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to each
use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 3 through 9.
11. If the child restraint is installed in thefront passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the ON position. The front pas-
senger air bag status light
should
illuminate. If this light is not illuminated,
see “Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-80). Move the child restraint
to another seating position. Have the
system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Af ter the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.

1. Top tether strap
2. Routing bracket
3. Tether anchor point
WARNING
• Do not secure the top tether strap to
the routing bracket. If the child re-
straint is not anchored properly, the
risk of a child being injured or killed in
a collision 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 restraint will not be properly in-
stalled using the damaged anchor-
ages, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
The child restraint top tether strap must be
used when installing the child restraint with
the seat belts.
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 through the routing bracket.
3. Secure the top tether strap to the tether anchor point as shown.
4. Refer back to child restraint installation steps before tightening the tether strap. If you have any questions when install-
ing a top tether strap, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
BOOSTER SEATS
For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured or killed in a sudden stop or col-
lision 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.

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 labelcertif ying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Ca-
nadian 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 is 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 should be used.
• If the booster seat is compatible with your vehicle, place the child in the booster
seat and check the various adjustments
to be sure the booster seat is compatible
with the child. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures.

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems:
• Driver and front passenger supplementalfront-impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System)
• Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bag
• Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag
• Driver and front passenger supplemental knee air bag
• Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front and rear outboard seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag system
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head
and chest of the driver and front passenger
in certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side-impact col-
lisions. The side air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in front and
rear outboard seating positions in certain
side-impact or rollover collisions. In a side-
impact, the curtain air bags are designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. In a rollover, the curtain air bags
are designed to inflate and remain inflated
for a short time.
Driver and front passenger supplemen-
tal knee air bags
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the driver’s and front passenger’s
knees in certain collisions.
The SRS is designed to
supplementthe
crash protection provided by the seat belts
and is not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel
and door finishers. For additional informa-
tion, see “Seat belts” (P. 1-14). The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
Af ter placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
af ter about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS)
1-70Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
• The front air bags ordinarily will not
inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-
ity frontal collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents. •
The front passenger air bag and front
passenger supplemental knee air
bag will not inflate if the passenger
air bag status light is lit or if the front
passenger seat is unoccupied. For
additional information, see “Front
passenger air bag and status light”
(P. 1-80). •
The seat belts and the front air bags
are most effective when you are sit-
ting well back and upright in the seat.
The front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System, if you are un-
restrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways or out of position in any
way, you are at greater risk of injury
or death in a crash. You may also re-
ceive serious or fatal injuries from
the front air bag if you are up against
it when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far away
as practical from the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Always properly
use the seat belts.
• The driver and front passenger seat
belt buckles are equipped with sen-
sors that detect if the seat belts are
fastened. The NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System monitors the severity of
a collision and seat belt usage, then
inflates the air bags as needed. Fail-
ure to properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
WRS0031
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-71

•The front passenger seat is equipped
with an occupant classification sensor
(weight sensors) that turns the front
passenger air bag and front passen-
ger supplemental knee air bag OFF
under some conditions. This sensor is
only used in this seat. Failure to be
properly seated and wearing the seat
belt can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident. For additional in-
formation, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P. 1-80).
• Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could increase
the risk that they are injured when
the front air bag inflates.
