•Head restraints/headrests should be
adjusted properly as they may pro-
vide significant protection against
injury in an accident. Always replace
and adjust them properly if they have
been removed for any reason.
• If the head restraints/headrests 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 sud-
den braking or an accident.
• When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
• Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shif ting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.CAUTION
• When folding the 2nd row seat for
maximum cargo holding, be sure
that the cargo does not contact the
center console of the captain’s seat
(if so equipped) to avoid possible
damage to the console.
• When folding or returning the seat(s)
to the upright position, to avoid in-
jury to yourself and others:
– Make sure that the seat path is
clear before moving the seat.
– Be careful not to allow hands or
feet to get caught or pinched in
the seat.
Folding the 2nd row seats
To fold the 2nd row seats flat for maximum
cargo hauling:
1. Make sure that the head restraints/ headrests are lowered or removed. To
remove the head restraint/headrest,
push and hold the lock knob while mov-
ing the head restraint/headrest in an up-
ward direction. Store the head restraint/
headrest properly so it is not loose in the
vehicle.

WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/
headrests must be adjusted properly,
as specified in this section. Check the
adjustment af ter someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalk, except
for Genuine NISSAN accessories spe-
cifically tested for use with the vehicle’s
head restraint/headrest stalk. Do not
remove the head restraint/headrest.
Do not use the seat if the head
restraint/headrest has been removed.
If the head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust
the head restraint/headrest before an
occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions can
reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may in-
crease the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision. The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with head
restraints/headrests.

Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
 Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a headrest.
• Adjustable head restraints/headrests have multiple notches along the stalk(s)
to lock them in a desired adjustment
position. • The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch to
secure them to the seat frame.
• Proper Adjustment: – For the adjustable type, align the headrestraint/headrest so the center of
your ear is approximately level with the
center of the head restraint/headrest.
– If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place
the head restraint/headrest at the
highest position.

to tug it forward and check to see if the
belt holds the restraint in place. If the

FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH
For additional information, see “Child
safety” (P. 1-30) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-33)
for all Warnings and Cautions before in-
stalling a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use
the vehicle's seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for installation. Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint in the 2nd row seats
using the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.
2. Secure the child restraint anchor at-tachments to the LATCH lower anchors.
Check to make sure the LATCH attach-
ment is properly attached to the lower
anchors.
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether strap, route the top tether
strap and secure the tether strap to the
tether anchor point. For additional infor-
mation, see “Installing top tether strap”
(P. 1-48).
LRS2995
Forward-facing webbing-mounted – step 2
1-46Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Do not install child restraints that require
the use of a top tether strap in seating
positions that do not have a top tether
anchor.
3. The back of the child restraint should be secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child re- straint is removed.
For additional infor-
mation, see “Head restraints/headrests”
(P. 1-13).
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and
it is interfering with the proper child re-
straint fit, try another seating position or
a different child restraint.
4. For child restraints that are equippedwith webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the
anchor attachments. Press downward
and rearward firmly in the center of the
child restraint with your knee to com-
press the vehicle seat cushion and seat-
back while tightening the webbing of
the anchor attachments.
5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer's instructions to re-
move any slack.
