7. Check to make sure the child restraintis properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat
steps 1 through 6.
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. 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 passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.

.ALWAYS use your seat belts and
appropriate child restraint sys-
tems. Pre-teen children should
be seated in the rear seat.
. ALWAYS provide information
about the proper use of vehicle
safety features to all occupants
of the vehicle.
. ALWAYS review this Owner’s Man-
ual for important safety informa-
tion.MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLEThis vehicle should not be modified.
Modification could affect its perfor-
mance, safety or durability, and may
even violate governmental regulations.
See the 2021 NISSAN GT-R Warranty
Information Booklet for details includ-
ing applicable exclusions.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) plug-in device that
uses the port during normal driving,
for example remote insurance com-
pany monitoring, remote vehicle di-
agnostics, telematics or engine
reprogramming, may cause interfer- ence or damage to vehicle systems.
We do not recommend or endorse
the use of any aftermarket OBD
plug-in devices, unless specifically
approved by NISSAN. The vehicle
warranty may not cover damage
caused by any aftermarket plug-in
device.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THIS MANUALYou will see various symbols in this
manual. They are used in the following
ways:

accident.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper
buckle.
. Do not wear the seat belt inside
out or twisted. Doing so may
reduce its effectiveness.
. Do not allow more than one
person to use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light
glows continuously while the
ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. It is re-
commended you have the system
checked by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. No changes should be made to
the seat belt system. For exam-
ple, do not modify the seat belt,
add material, or install devices
that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may
affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tam-
pering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with
the retractor. It is recommended
you see a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. Removal and installation of the
pretensioner system components
should be done by a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hard-
ware, should be inspected after
any collision by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assem-
blies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies
not in use during a collision
should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Always follow
the restraint manufacturer’s in- spection instructions and repla-
cement recommendations. The
child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.

The ELR locks the seat belt when the
vehicle slows down rapidly or during
impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode or child restraint mode locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the
buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt
returns to the ELR mode after the seat
belt is fully retracted.
(
“Front passenger air bag and
status light” page 1-42)
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that seatbacks are comple-
tely secured in the latched position.
If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an
accident or sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the seat belt, push the
button on the buckle. The seat belt
automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operationSeat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement by two separate
methods:
. When the belt is pulled quickly from
the retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat
belts, check the operation as follows:
. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull for-
ward quickly. The retractor should
lock and restrict further belt move-
ment.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any question about
seat belt operation, see a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.

instructions for installation.LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and in-
stallation of child restraints could
result in serious injury or death of a
child or other passengers in a sud-
den stop or collision:
.Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the loca-
tions shown in the illustration.
. Inspect the lower anchors by in-
serting your fingers into the low-
er anchor area. Feel to make sure
there are no obstructions over
the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material.
The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the lower
anchors are obstructed.
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used to attach adult
seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the da-
maged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
LATCH lower anchor location
LATCH lower anchor locationThe LATCH lower anchors are located at
the rear of the seat cushion near the
seatback. A label is attached to the seat-
back to help you locate the LATCH
anchors.

“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Do 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 re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
