5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on theshoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.
6. Remove any additional slack from the seat belt. 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 belt holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the seat belt as
necessary, or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try a differ-
ent child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles. 9. Check to make sure the child restraint is prop-
erly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt
is not locked, repeat steps 2 through 8.
10. If the child restraint is installed on the front passenger seat, push the power switch to
the ON position. The front passenger air bag
status light
should illuminate. If this
light does not illuminate, see “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light” in this section.
Move the child restraint to another
seating position. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.

BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode
when using a booster seat with the seat
belts.
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in “Child
safety”, “Child restraints” and “Booster seats” in
this section before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat on the
rear seat or on the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rearmost
position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in the forward-facing direction. Al-
ways follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions.
3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat so that it is stable. If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. If the head restraint/headrest
is removed, store it in a secure place.
Be sure
to reinstall the head restraint/headrest
when the booster seat is removed. See
“Remove”, “Install” or “Adjust” under “Head
restraints/headrests” for head restraint/
headrest adjustment, removal and installation
information.

seat, the Advanced Air Bag System is designed
to turn the passenger air bag OFF in accordance
with the regulations. Also, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the seat, its
weight and the child’s weight can be detected
and cause the air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are
properly seated and using the seat belt as out-
lined in this manual should not cause the passen-
ger air bag to be automatically turned OFF. For
small adults it may be turned OFF, however, if the
occupant does not sit in the seat properly (for
example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on an
edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out of
position) , this could cause the sensors to turn the
air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and
wearing the seat belt properly for the most effec-
tive protection by the seat belt and supplemental
air bag.
NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil-
dren be properly restrained in a rear seat.
NISSAN also recommends that appropriate child
restraints and booster seats be properly installed
in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the occupant
classification sensors are designed to operate as
described above to turn the front passenger air
bag OFF for specified child restraints. Failing toproperly secure child restraints and to use the
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child
restraint mode) may allow the restraint to tip or
move in an accident or sudden stop. This can
also result in the passenger air bag inflating in a
crash instead of being OFF. See “Child re-
straints” in this section for proper use and instal-
lation.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the
passenger air bag is designed not to inflate in a
crash. However, heavy objects placed on the
seat could result in air bag inflation, because of
the object being detected by the occupant clas-
sification sensors. Other conditions could also
result in air bag inflation, such as if a child is
standing on the seat, or if two children are on the
seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
Using the passenger air bag status light, you can
monitor when the front passenger air bag is au-
tomatically turned OFF with the seat occupied.
The light will not illuminate when the front pas-
senger seat is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the passen-
ger air bag status light is illuminated (indicating
that the air bag is OFF) , it could be that theperson is a small adult, or is not sitting on the seat
properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,
the passenger air bag status light may or may not
be illuminated, depending on the size of the child
and the type of child restraint being used. If the air
bag status light is not illuminated (indicating that
the air bag might inflate in a crash) , it could be
that the child restraint or seat belt is not being
used properly. Make sure that the child restraint is
installed properly, the seat belt is used properly
and the occupant is positioned properly. If the air
bag status light is not illuminated, reposition the
occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.
If the passenger air bag status light will not illu-
minate even though you believe that the child
restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are
properly positioned, the system may be sensing
an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is
OFF) . Your NISSAN certified LEAF dealer can
check that the system is OFF by using a special
tool. However, until you have confirmed with your
dealer that your air bag is working properly, repo-
sition the occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.
The air bag system and passenger air bag status
light will take a few seconds to register a change
in the passenger seat status. However, if the seat
