5. If connected, separate the two halves of

tween the child's legs.

7.Place the left shoulder harness over the
child's left shoulder. Insert the left shoulder
harness tongue into the left side of the belt
buckle. Confirm that the left shoulder har-
ness tongue indicator is green. The shoul-
der harness tongues only fit into the proper
sides of the belt buckle.
8.Place the right shoulder harness over the
child's right shoulder. Insert the right shoul-
der harness tongue into the right side of the
belt buckle. Confirm that the right shoulder
harness tongue indicator is green. The
shoulder harness tongues only fit into the
proper sides of the belt buckle.
9. Fasten the two halves of the chest clip
and confirm that the chest clip indicator is
green. Adjust the chest clip (slightly lower
than the child's shoulders) so it comfort-
ably holds the shoulder harness in positi-
ton on the child's shoulders.
Shoulder harness tongues and chest
clips are equipped with visual indicators
to confirm proper and secure latching.
For the safety of the child and occupants
of the vehicle, all indicators must show
green before operating the vehicle.10. Grasp the right shoulder harness above
the chest clip and pull until the harness
fully extends and a click is heard. At this
time, the harness retractor is in the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode). With the child sitting properly
(straight up and back) in the integrated
child safety seat, allow the right shoul-
der harness to retract over the right
shoulder and securely restrain the child.
A clicking should is heard as the har-
ness retracts, indicating that the retrac-
tor is in the automatic locking mode. Be
sure the left shoulder harness is also

ZX

properly positioned over the child's left
shoulder.
11. Check that the shoulder harness is in
the automatic locking mode by trying to
pull the shoulder harness out of the
retractor. If you cannot pull any of the
shoulder harness webbing out of the
retractor, the shoulder harness is in the
automatic locking mode. If the shoulder
harness is not locked, repeat step 10. If,
after repeated attempts, the integrated
child safety seat shoulder harness can-
not be placed in the automatic locking
mode, do not use the integrated child
safety seat and have it inspected by
your NISSAN dealer.
To cancel the automatic locking mode, un-
buckle the chest clip and both shoulder
harness tongues. Allow the shoulder har-
nesses to retract completely. The automatic
locking mode is now canceled and the
shoulder harness retractor is in the emer-
gency locking mode.
The automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode) must be reactivated each
time you place a child in the integrated
child safety seats.In addition to the automatic locking retrac-
tors, the integrated child safety seat shoul-
der harnesses are equipped with emer-
gency locking retractors. The automatic
locking mode is best to use, especially for
children who need help staying properly
positioned in the seat and its harnesses (for
example, children who are younger and
smaller), because the belts are always
locked. In the emergency locking mode, the
shoulder belts only lock in a sudden stop or
accident, allowing a child more freedom of
movement. Use the emergency locking
mode only if you judge your child able to
remain properly positioned in the integrated
child safety seat.
Removing the Child
1. Release the chest clip.
2. Release the left and right shoulder har-
ness tongues from the belt buckle by
pressing the red belt buckle button.
3. Move the left and right shoulder har-
nesses aside and assist the child from
the integrated child safety seat.
Storing the Integrated Child Safety
Seat
1. Be sure the shoulder harnesses are fully
retracted and resting inside the inte-
grated child safety seat recess. It is not
necessary to reconnect the shoulder har-
nesses and belt buckle prior to storing
the integrated child safety seat.
2. While holding onto, but not pulling, the
cushion release strap, rotate the cushion
upward until it fits flush with the second
row seat back cushion and locks into
position.
3. Be sure the integrated child safety seat is
locked in the stowed position by grasping
the safety seat cushion and attempting to
lower it without pulling the cushion re-
lease strap. If the integrated child safety
seat is not locked in the stowed position,
repeat steps 1 through 3.
Integrated Child Safety Seat Main-
tenance
cTo clean the shoulder harnesses and belt
buckle webbing, apply a mild soap solu-
tion or any solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then
2-73
ZX

brush the webbing, wipe it with a cloth
and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not
allow the shoulder harnesses to retract
until they are completely dry.
cThe integrated child safety seats cloth
removable pads may be cleaned with
mild soap and water. The cloth remov-
able pads are attached to the seats with
fastener strips, and may be easily re-
moved. The pads are machine washable.
Follow the instructions attached to the
cloth removable pads.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the washing instruc-
tions provided on the cloth removable
pads may result in premature wear or
damage.
cPeriodically inspect the belt and metal
components of the integrated child safety
seats, such as the buckles, tongues,
shoulder harness webbings, and latching
indicators. Periodically check the func-
tion of the integrated child safety seat
shoulder harness retractor functions. If
loose parts, deterioration, cuts, frays,
malfunctions or other damage to the beltwebbings or metal parts are found, see
your NISSAN dealer for repairs.
Inspection After An Accident
If your vehicle was involved in an accident,
before using the integrated child safety
seats, all related components should be
inspected by a NISSAN dealer for damage.
Damage to the integrated child safety seats
or related components must be repaired.
Push the lock lever down and adjust the
steering wheel up or down to the desired
position. Pull the lock lever up firmly to lock
the steering wheel in place.
Gently pull down on the wheel to be sure it
is properly locked.
WARNING
Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving.

5. Securely store the jacking equipment in
the vehicle. The tool kit is stored behind
the jack.
Stowing the spare tire or flat tire
1. To raise the tire to the stowed position,
install the retainer through the wheel
center and turn the wheel lug wrench
clockwise until the tire is raised to its
original position underneath the vehicle.
The spare tire hex nut ratchets when
the tire is raised. It won't allow you to
over-tighten.
2. Check for proper seating against under-body supports. If necessary, loosen tire,
reposition and retighten.
WARNING
cAlways make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly
secured after use. Such items can
become dangerous projectiles in an
accident or sudden stop.
cThe T-type spare tire is designed for
emergency use. See specific instruc-
tions under the heading ``Wheels
and tires'' in the ``Do-it-yourself op-
erations'' section.To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below must
be followed.
CAUTION
cIf done incorrectly, jump starting can
be hazardous.
cExplosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away
from the battery.
cDo not allow battery fluid to come
into contact with eyes, skin, cloth or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a
corrosive sulfuric acid solution
which can cause severe burns. If the
fluid should come into contact with
anything, immediately flush the con-
tacted area with water.
cA battery rated higher than 12 volts
should not be used for a booster.
cWhenever working on or near a bat-
tery, always wear suitable eye pro-
tectors (for example, goggles or in-
dustrial safety spectacles) and
remove rings, metal bands, or any
other metal jewelry.
cKeep battery out of the reach of
children.
