NISSAN MAXIMA 2003 A33 / 5.G Service Manual

INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING
INever install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental air bags inflate with
great force. A rear facing child re-
straint could be struck by the supple-
mental air bag in a crash and could
seriously injure or kill your child.INISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a front
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger
seat to the rearmost position.
IA child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
IThe three-point belt in your vehicle is
equipped with a locking mode retrac-
tor which must be used when install-ing a child restraint.
IFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The child
restraint could tip over or otherwise
be unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.

Front facingIf you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat.It should be placed in a
front facing direction only.Move the seat
to the rearmost position. Always follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
Child restraints for infants must be used
in the rear facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt
is fully extended. At this time, the belt
retractor is in the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode). It reverts back to
emergency locking mode when the belt is
fully retracted.

4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the belt
to remove any slack in the belt.5. Before placing the child in the child re-
straint, use force to tilt the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to make
sure that it is securely held in place.
6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt out
of the retractor. If you cannot pull any more
belt webbing out of the retractor, the belt is
in the automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use. If the
lap belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and theseat belt is allowed to wind back into the
retractor, the automatic locking mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled; the seat belt only
locks during a sudden stop or impact.
