INSTALLATION OF A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON THE FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING
•Never install a rear facing child restraint sys-
tem in the front seat without first deactivating
the front passenger air bag. Inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bags inflate with greatforce. A child restraint system could be struck
by the supplemental front-impact air bags in
an accident and could seriously injure or kill
your child.
•NISSAN recommends that infants or small
children be seated in a child restraint system
in the rear seat. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the front
seat.
Rear facing
If you install a child restraint system in the front seat,
follow these steps:
1. Deactivate the front passenger air bag. See
“Supplemental Restraint System (air bag
system)” earlier in this section for further details.
2. Move the seat to the rearmost position.
3. Adjust the head restraint to its highest position.
Remove it if it interferes with the child restraint
installation. In such situation, securely store the
head restraint in the luggage compartment so
that it does not become a dangerous projectile
during a sudden stop or in an accident.
4. Position the child restraint system in the front
passenger’s seat.
Always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use.5. Route the seat belt tongue through the child re-
straint system and insert it into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.
To prevent slack in the lap belt, it will be neces-
sary to secure the shoulder belt in place with a
locking clip
jA . Use a locking clip attached to
the child restraint system, or one which is equiva-
lent in dimensions and strength.
Be sure to follow the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing.
6. Slide the seat forward so that the seat belt fully
tightens the child restraint system and the child
restraint reaches the vehicle dashboard.
7. Test the child restraint system before you place
the child in it. Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check if it is held securely in place.

ISOFIX SYSTEM
WARNING
•Attach ISOFIX compatible child restraint sys-
tems only at the locations shown by the la-
bels. If a child restraint is not secured prop-
erly, your child could be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.
•The rear sliding bench seat is equipped with
2 ISOFIX compatible child restraint systems,
on both outer seats ONLY. Do not secure a
child restraint in the rear centre seating posi-
tion using the child restraint lower anchors.
The child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly.
•The ISOFIX system anchors are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses.
Some child restraints include two rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be connected to two
anchors located at certain seating positions in your
vehicle. This system is known 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 ISOFIX system
compatible child restraints. Check your child re-
straint for a label stating that it is compatible with the
ISOFIX system. This information may also be in the
child restraint owner’s manual. If you have such a

seating positions equipped with ISOFIX system an-
chors which can be used to secure the child re-
straint.
The ISOFIX system anchors are located at the rear
of the seat cushion near the seatback (as illustrated).
Labels are attached to the seat cushion to help you
locate the ISOFIX system anchors.
CAUTION
•The child restraint may also require the use of
a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap for
child restraint” later in this section for instal-
lation instructions. Alternatively, the child re-
straint may require an anti-rotation device
such as support leg. Refer to the child re-
straint system manufacturer’s instructions.

into the lower anchor area and feeling to make sure
there are no obstructions over the ISOFIX system
anchors, such as seat belt webbing or seat cushion
material. The child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly if the ISOFIX system anchors are obstructed.
1. To install the ISOFIX system compatible child
restraint, insert the child restraint ISOFIX systemanchor attachments into the anchor points on the
rear seat. See “Top tether strap for child
restraint” later in this section for top tether strap
installation instructions.
2. Fit the ISOFIX funnel guides (supplied with the
ISOFIX child seat – where fitted) to the vehicle
ISOFIX brackets located at the base of the rear
outer seat cushions (refer to the ISOFIX label for
appropriate locations).
3. After attaching the child restraint and before plac-
ing the child in it, use force to tilt the child re-
straint from side to side and tug it forward to
make sure that the child restraint is securely held
in place. Make sure that both ISOFIX anchor-
ages have latched correctly.
4. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use.

WARNING
•The child restraint anchor points are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses.
•The child restraint top tether strap may be
damaged by contact with the rear parcel shelf
or items in the luggage compartment area.
Remove the rear parcel shelf from the vehicle
or secure it in the luggage compartment area.
