FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. Failure to use the ALR mode
will result in the child restraint not
being properly secured. The restraint
could tip over or be loose and cause
injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision. Also, it can change the
operation of the front passenger air
bag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” (P.1-48).
SSS0640Forward-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the
combined weight of the child and the
child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If
the combined 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 anchors) to install the child re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle
seat belt in the rear seats or in the frontpassenger seat:
1.
If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in
a forward-facing direction only.
Move the seat to the rearmost posi-
tion. Child restraints for infants must
be used in the rear-facing direction
and, therefore, must not be used in
the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint
is removed, store it in a secure place.
Be sure to reinstall the head re-
straint when the child restraint is
removed. See “Head restraints/head-
rests” (P.1-7) for head restraint adjust-
ment, removal and installation
information.
If the seating position does not have
an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child re-
straint fit, try another seating position
or a different child restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue throughthe child restraint and insert it into the
buckle until you hear and feel the
latch engage. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for belt routing.
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 (rear seat
installation only). See “Installing top
tether strap” (P.1-36). Do not install
child restraints that require the use
of a top tether strap in seating posi-
tions that do not have a top tether
anchor.
SSS0651Forward-facing — step 4
4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt isfully extended. At this time, the seat
belt retractor is in the Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child
restraint mode). It reverts to Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.
SSS0652Forward-facing — step 5
5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull upon the shoulder belt to remove any
slack in the belt.

SSS0653Forward-facing — step 6
6. Remove any additional slack from theseat belt; press downward and rear-
ward firmly in the center of the child
restraint with your knee to compress
the vehicle seat cushion and seatback
while pulling up on the seat belt.
7. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to
remove any slack.
SSS0641Forward-facing — step 8
8. After attaching the child restraint, testit before you place the child in it. Push
it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the seat belt path.
The child restraint should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm), from side to
side. Try to tug it forward and check to
see if the belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the seat belt as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 2 through 8.

10. If the child restraint is installed in thefront passenger seat, place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position. The
front passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-48). Move
the child restraint to another seating
position. Have the system checked. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

Installing top tether strap
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used to attach adult
seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the da-
maged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
The child restraint top tether strap must
be used when installing the child restraint
with the seat belts.
First, secure the child restraint with the
seat belt.
1. Remove the head restraint and store it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint when the child
restraint is removed.
See “Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-7)
for head restraint adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
2. Position the top tether strap as shown.
3. Secure the top tether strap to the tether anchor point as shown.
4. Refer to the appropriate child restraint installation procedure steps in this
section before tightening the tether
strap.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap, it is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

7-4Appearance and care
CHROME PARTS
Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the
finish.
TIRE DRESSING
NISSAN does not recommend the use of
tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a
coating to the tires to help reduce dis-
coloration of the rubber. If a tire dressing
is applied to the tires, it may react with
the coating and form a compound. This
compound may come off the tire while
driving and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take
the following precautions:
.Use a water-based tire dressing. The
coating on the tire dissolves more
easily with an oil-based tire dressing.
. Apply a light coat of tire dressing to
help prevent it from entering the tire
tread/grooves (where it would be
difficult to remove).
. Wipe off excess tire dressing using a
dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing
is completely removed from the tire
tread/grooves.
. Allow the tire dressing to dry as
recommended by tire dressing manu-
facturer. Occasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using
a vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush.
Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with a
clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with a dry soft
cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in
order to maintain the appearance of the
leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some fabric protectors contain chemicals
that may stain or bleach the seat materi-
al.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to
clean the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners
(hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensors. This can also
affect the operation of the air bag
system and result in serious perso-
nal injury.
CAUTION
.
Never use benzine, thinner, or any
similar material.
. For cleaning, use a soft cloth,
dampened with water. Never use
a rough cloth, alcohol, benzine,
thinner or any kind of solvent or
paper towel with a chemical
cleaning agent. They will scratch
or cause discoloration to the lens.
. Do not spray any liquid such as
water on the meter lens. Spraying
liquid may cause the system to
malfunction.
. Small dirt particles can be abra-
sive and damaging to the leather
surfaces and should be removed
promptly. Do not use saddle soap,
car waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning
fluids, solvents, detergents or
ammonia-based cleaners as they
may damage the leather’s natural
finish.
. Never use fabric protectors un-
less recommended by the manu-
facturer.
. Do not use glass or plastic cleaner
on meter or gauge lens covers. It
