ward. The retractor should lock and restrict
further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check or
if you have any questions about belt operation,
see a NISSAN dealer.
Shoulder belt height adjustment
(Except for rear center seat)The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-
justed to the position best suited for you. (See
“Precautions on seat belt usage” earlier in this
section.) To adjust, pull the release button
1,
and then move the shoulder belt anchor
2
to
the desired position, so that the belt passes over
the shoulder. Release the adjustment button1
to lock the shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING

After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure it is securely fixed in po-
sition.

The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
best for you. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.

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.
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. Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
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
increase the risk or severity of injury
for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle.

Follow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation
