Installing top tether strap
WARNING
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 installed
using the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killedin a collision.
The child restraint top tether strap must \be used
when installin\f the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchor attachments.
First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH
lower anchors (rear out\board seat positions
only) .
1. Flip up the anchor cover from the anchor point which is located directly \behind the
child restraint.
2. Position the top tether strap over the top of the seat\back.
3. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point on the rear parcel shelf.
4. Refer to the appropriate child restraint installation procedure steps earlier in this
section \before ti\fhtenin\f the tether strap.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap, consult a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer for details.

FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS
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
passenger air bag. See “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light” later in this
section.
Forward-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
safety�f and “Child restraints�f sections before
installing a child restraint.
�bo not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg) . If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , use the vehicle’s
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions for installa-
tion.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in therear seats 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.
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 the seating position is interfering with the
proper child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.

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.

stalled in a seating position that has
a lap/shoulder belt.
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by

sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system�f.Make sure the child’s head will be properly
supported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat�f The seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears�f For example�b if a
low back booster seat
*1is chosen�b the
vehicle seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears�f If the seatback is
lower than the center of the child’s ears�b a
high back booster seat
*2should be used�f

WARNING
.Never let children ride unrestrained
or extend their hands or face out of
the window. Do not attempt to hold
them in your lap or arms. Some
examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the illustrations.
. Children may be severely injured or
killed when the front air bags, side
air bags or curtain air bags inflate if
they are not properly restrained.
Pre-teens and children should be
properly restrained in the rear seat,
if possible.

injured. Be especially careful with
children, who should always be
properly restrained. Some examples
of dangerous riding positions are
shown in the illustrations.
. Do not use seat covers on the front
