WARNING
Only NISSAN belt extenders, made
by the same company which made
the original equipment belts, should
be used with NISSAN belts.
Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal in-
jury in the event of an accident.
Never use seat belt extenders to in-
stall child restraints. If the child re-
straint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured in a
collision or a sudden stop.SEAT BELT MAINTENANCETo clean the seat belt webbings,apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then brush the webbing, wipe it with a cloth
and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not allow
the seat belts to retract until they are com-
pletely dry.If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may
retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide
with a clean, dry cloth.
Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal componentssuch as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires
and anchors work properly. If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire belt assembly
should be replaced.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Infants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while riding in the ve-
hicle. Failure to use a child restraint
can result in serious injury or death.
Infants and small children should
never be carried on your lap. It is not
possible for even the strongest adult
to resist the forces of a severe acci-
dent. The child could be crushed be-
tween the adult and parts of the ve-
hicle. Also, do not put the same seat
belt around both your child and your-
self.
Never install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An inflating
supplemental air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child. A rear facing
child restraint must only be used in
the rear seat.CHILD RESTRAINTS

NISSAN recommends that the child
restraint be installed in the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
An improperly installed child re-
straint could lead to serious injury or
death in an accident.
In general, child restraints are designed to be
installed with the lap portion of a three-point type
seat belt. In addition, this vehicle is equipped
with a universal child restraint lower anchor
system, referred to as the LATCH (Lower An-
chors and Tethers for CHildren) system. Some
child restraints include two rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be connected to
these lower anchors. For details, see “LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) SYS-
TEM” later in this section.
Child restraints for infants and children of various
sizes are offered by several manufacturers.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:
choose only a restraint with a label certifying
that it complies with Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.
if the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be sure
the child restraint is compatible with your
child. Always follow all recommended proce-
dures.
All US states and Canadian provinces re-
quire that infants and small children be
restrained in approved child restraints at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
WARNING
Improper use of a child restraint can
result in increased injuries for both
the infant or child and other occu-
pants in the vehicle.
Follow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation
and use. When purchasing a childrestraint, be sure to select one which
will fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install
some types of child restraints in your
vehicle.
If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
Adjustable seatbacks should be po-
sitioned to fit the child restraint, but
as upright as possible.
After attaching the child restraint,
test it before you place the child in it.
Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. The child
restraint should not move more than
1 inch (25 mm). If the restraint is not
secure, tighten the belt as necessary,
or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again.
For a front facing child restraint,
check to make sure the shoulder belt
does not go in front of the child’s face

or neck. If it does, put the shoulder
belt behind the child restraint. If you
must install a front facing child re-
straint in the front seat, see instruc-
tions later in this section.
When your child restraint is not in
use, store it in the trunk or keep it
secured with a seat belt to prevent it
from being thrown around in case of
a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the child
restraint.
INSTALLATION ON REAR SEAT
CENTER OR OUTBOARD
POSITIONS
WARNING
The three-point rear seat belts on
your vehicle are equipped with a
locking mode retractor which must
be used when installing a child re-
straint.
Failure to do so will result in the child
restraint not being properly secured.
It could tip over or otherwise be un-
secured and cause injury to the child
in a sudden stop or collision.
When installing a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear center position, both
the center seat belt connector tongue
and buckle tongue must be secured.
See “Attaching rear center seat belt”
earlier in this section.
Front facingWhen you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard or center seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. It can
be placed in a front facing direction, depend-
ing on the size of the child. Adjust the head
restraint to its highest position or remove it if
the child restraint uses a top tether strap.
Always follow the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.

LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS AND
TETHERS FOR CHILDREN)
SYSTEM
WARNING
Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the locations
shown. If a child restraint is not se-
cured properly, your child could be
seriously injured or killed in an
accident.Do not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using the
child restraint lower anchors. The
child restraint will not be secured
properly.
The LATCH system anchors are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstance are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Some child restraints include two rigid or
webbing-mounted attachments that can be con-
nected to two anchors located at certain seating
positions in your vehicle. This system is known
as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system. This system may also be
referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible
system. With this system, you do not have to use
a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint.
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system com-
patible child restraints. Check your child restraint
for a label stating that it is compatible with the
LATCH system. This information may also be in
the child restraint owner’s manual. If you have
such a child restraint, refer to the illustration for
SSS0233Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems

the seating positions equipped with LATCH
system anchors which can be used to secure the
child restraint.
The LATCH system anchors are located at the
rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. A
label is attached to the seatback to help you
locate the LATCH system anchors.
Some child restraints may also require the use of
a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap child
restraint” later in this section for installation
instructions.
When installing a child restraint, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this manual and
those supplied with the child restraint.
When you install a LATCH system compatible
child restraint to the lower anchor attachments,
follow these steps.
WARNING
Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area
and feeling to make sure there are no
obstructions over the LATCH system an-
chors, such as seat belt webbing or seat
cushion material. The child restraint willnot be secured properly if the LATCH
system anchors are obstructed.
1. To install the LATCH system compat-
ible child restraint, insert the child
restraint LATCH system anchor at-
tachments into the anchor points on
the rear. If the child restraint is
equipped with a top tether, see “Top
tether strap child restraint” later in
this section for installation instruc-
tions.
2. After attaching the child restraint and
before placing the child in it, use
force to tilt the child restraint from
side to side and tug it forward to
make sure that the child restraint is
securely held in place. It should not
move more than 1 inch (25 mm).
3. Check to make sure that the child
restraint is properly secured prior to
each use.
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
WARNING
The child restraint anchor points are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses.

After removing a rear seat head re-
straint for top tether installation,
store it securely to prevent it from
causing injury to passengers or dam-
age to the vehicle in case of sudden
braking or an accident. Always re-
place it and adjust properly when top
tether is no longer in use.
The top tether strap may be damaged
by contact with the tonneau cover or
items in the cargo area. Remove the
tonneau cover from the vehicle or
secure it and any cargo. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision if the top tether strap is
damaged.
If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it
must be secured to the anchor point provided
behind its position.
First, adjust the seatback so that it is upright.
Then secure the child restraint with the rear seat
belt or the LATCH system (outboard positions),
as applicable. For the center position
C, re-
move the anchor cover from the anchor point as
illustrated. Keep the removed cover in a secure
place to prevent loss or damage.Remove the head restraint from the seatback.
Store it in a secure place. Position the top tether
strap over the top of the seatback and secure it
to the tether anchor bracket that provides the
straightest installation. Tighten the tether strap
according to the manufacturer’s instruction to
remove any slack.
For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint
installation instructions in this section and the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING
Never 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.NISSAN 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.
A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
The three-point belt in your vehicle is
equipped with a locking mode retrac-
tor which must be used when install-ing a child restraint.
Failure 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.
