WARNING

Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide signifi-

accident. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat.

Do not remove the head restraints
except when folding down the rear
seat or using certain child restraints.
Always replace and adjust them
properly if they have been removed
for any reason.

If the head restraints are removed for
any reason, they should be securely
stored to prevent them from causing
injury to passengers or damage to
the vehicle in case of sudden braking
or an accident.Adjust the head restraints as illustrated so the
center is level with the center of your ears.

3. Position the lap belt portionlow and snug
on the hipsas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack. Make sure the
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder
and across your chest.
The front passenger and rear seat belts have a
locking mechanism for child restraint installation.
It is referred to as the automatic locking mode.
When the locking mechanism is activated the
seat belt cannot be extended again until the seat
belt tongue is detached from the buckle and fully
retracted. For additional information, see “Childrestraints” later in this section.
The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child restraint installation.
During normal seat belt use by a passen-
ger, the locking mode should not be acti-
vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension. It can also
change the operation of the front passen-
ger air bag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.
WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that the seatbacks are com-
pletely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.

When attaching the rear center seat
belt connector, be certain that the
seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position and the rear cen-
ter seat belt connector is completely
secured.

If the rear center seat belt connector
and the seatbacks are not secured in
the correct position, serious personal
injury may result in an accident or
sudden stop.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
ON REAR SEAT OUTBOARD OR
CENTER POSITIONS
WARNING

The three-point seat belt in your ve-
hicle is equipped with a locking mode
retractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.

Failure to use the automatic locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured 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. Al-
ways follow the restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback. If nec-
essary, adjust or remove the head restraint to
obtain the correct child restraint fit. See
“Head restraint adjustment” earlier in this
section. If the head restraint is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to install thehead restraint when the child restraint is
removed. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’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 re-
straint mode). It reverts back to emergency
locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the
shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.

5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to push the child restraint from side
to side, and tug it forward to make sure that it
is securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm). If it does move
more than 1 inch (25 mm), pull again on the
shoulder belt to further tighten the child
restraint. If unable to properly secure the
restraint, move the restraint to another rear
seating position and try again, or try a differ-
ent child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles.
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 beltwebbing 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 belt
is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is allowed to wind back into the retractor,
the automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) will be canceled.

INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING

Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental front air bags inflate
with great force. A rear-facing child
restraint could be struck by the
supplemental front air bag in a crash
and could seriously injure or kill yourchild.

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. Also,
be sure the front passenger air bag
status light is illuminated to indicate
the passenger air bag is OFF. See
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” later in this section for details.
A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.

The three-point seat belt in your ve-
hicle is equipped with an automatic
locking mode retractor which must
be used when installing a child re-
straint.

Failure to use the retractor’s locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the
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.

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.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
The passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air bag and
status light” later in this section.Move the
child restraint to another seating posi-
tion.Have the system checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is allowed to wind back into the retractor,
the automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) will be canceled.
PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER
SEATS
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
or booster seat 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.

NISSAN recommends that the
booster seat be installed in the rear
seat. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
A booster seat must only be installed
in a seating position that has a
lap/shoulder belt. Failure to use a
three-point type seat belt with a
booster seat can result in a serious
injury in sudden stop or collision.

An improperly installed booster seat
could lead to serious injury or death
in an accident.BOOSTER SEATS
