WARNING

The three-point belt on your vehicle
is equipped with a locking mode re-
tractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.

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 childin a sudden stop or collision.
When you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. The
direction of the child restraint depends on the
type of the child restraint and the size of the
child. Always follow the restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions.

restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions 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

remove any slack in the belt.

side, and tug it forward to make sure that it is
securely held in place.

locking mode by trying to pull more belt out of
the retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt
webbing out of the retractor, the belt is in the
automatic locking mode.

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

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 front
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 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.
