.If the combined weight of the child and child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , use
the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower
anchors) to install the child restraint.
.Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated. Canadian law requires the
top tether strap on forward-facing child
restraints be secured to the designated
anchor point on the vehicle.

Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren
(LATCH) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system
compatible child restraints. This system may
also be referred to 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 unless the combined weight of the
child and child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5
kg) . If the combined weight of the child and child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , use the
vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions forinstallation.
CAUTION
Store the loose LATCH covers (for
example, in the console box) where
they will not get damaged to avoid
losing them. (See “Console box” (P.2-
56) .)

child restraints only at the locations
shown in the illustration.
.Do not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the
passenger’s Advanced Air Bag system,
please observe the following items.
.Do not allow a passenger in the rear
seat to push or pull on the seatback
pocket.
.Do not place heavy loads heavier
than 9.1 lbs (4 kg) on the seatback,
head restraint or in the seatback
pocket.
.Make sure nothing is pressing
against the rear of the seatback,
such as a child restraint installed in
the rear seat or an object stored on
the floor.
.Make sure no objects are placed
under the front passenger seat.
.Make sure that there is no object
placed between the seat cushion
and center console or between the
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-45

1-50Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.Make sure that a child restraint or other
object is not pressing against the rear of the
seatback.
.Make sure that a rear passenger is not
pushing or pulling on the back of the front
passenger seat.
.Make sure that the front passenger seat or
seatback is not forced back against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
.Make sure that there is no object placed
under the front passenger seat.
.Make sure that the front passenger seat
head restraint does not contact the roof
when adjusting the front passenger seat.
Steps:
1. Adjust the seat as outlined. (See “Seats”
(P.1-2) .) Sit upright, leaning against the
seatback, and centered on the seat cushion
with your feet comfortably extended to the
floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on your lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined. (See “Seat
belts” (P.1-10) .)
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds
allowing the system to classify the front
passenger before the vehicle is put into
motion.5. Ensure proper classification by checking the
front passenger air bag status light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sen-
sor system locks the classification during
driving so it is important that you confirm
that the front passenger is properly classi-
fied prior to driving. Also, the occupant
classification sensor system may recalcu-
late the weight of the occupant under
some conditions (both while driving and
when stopped) , so the front passenger
seat occupant should continue to remain
seated as outlined above.
Troubleshooting:
If you think the front passenger air bag status
light is incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the
front passenger seat:
.Occupant is a small adult — the front
passenger air bag status light is functioning
as intended. The front passenger air bag is
suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small adult,
then this may be due to the following conditions
that may be interfering with the weight sensors:
.Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning
against the seatback, and centered on the
seat cushion with his/her feet comfortablyextended to the floor.
.A child restraint or other object pressing
against the rear of the seatback.
.A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger seat.
.Forcing the front seat or seatback against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
.An object placed under the front passenger
seat.
.An object placed between the seat cushion
and center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any
of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and
wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still ON after this, the person should
be advised not to ride in the front passenger
seat and it is recommended that the vehicle
should be checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon
as possible.
2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child or child
restraint occupying the front passenger seat.

This may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors:
.Small adult or child is not sitting upright,
leaning against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with his/her feet
comfortably extended to the floor.
.The child restraint is not properly installed,
as outlined. (See “Child restraints” (P.1-
19) .)
.An object weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg)
hanging on the seat or placed in the
seatback pocket.
.A child restraint or other object pressing
against the rear of the seatback.
.A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger seat.
.Forcing the front seat or seatback against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
.An object placed under the front passenger
seat.
.An object placed between the seat cushion
and center console.
.The front passenger seat head restraint
contacting the roof.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any
of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and
wait 1 minute.NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still OFF after this, the small adult,
child or child restraint should be repositioned in
the rear seat and it is recommended that the
vehicle should be checked by a NISSAN dealer
as soon as possible.
3. If the light is OFF with no front passenger and no
objects on the front passenger seat, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Other supplemental front-impact air bag
precautions
WARNING
.Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the instru-
ment panel. Also, do not place any
objects between any occupant and
the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the front air bags inflate..Do not place objects with sharp
edges on the seat. Also, do not
place heavy objects on the seat that
will leave permanent impressions in
the seat. Such objects can damage
the seat or occupant classification
sensors (weight sensors) . This can
affect the operation of the air bag
system and result in serious perso-
nal injury.
.Do not use water or acidic cleaners
(hot steam cleaners) on the seat.
This can damage the seat or occu-
pant classification sensors. This can
also affect the operation of the air
bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
.Immediately after inflation, several
front air bag system components
will be hot. Do not touch them; you
may severely burn yourself.
.No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the supplemental air bag system.
This is to prevent accidental infla-
tion of the supplemental air bag or
damage to the supplemental air bag
system.
