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.

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 may 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.
