ESP NISSAN QUEST 1999 V41 / 2.G Owners Manual

1 year and less than 20 pounds (9 kg)
should be placed in rear facing child re-
straints. Forward facing child restraints
are available for children who outgrow rear
facing child restraints.
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. The vehicle's seat belts may
not fit them properly. The shoulder belt
may come too close to the face or neck.
The lap belt may not fit over their small
hip bones. In an accident an improperly
fitting seat belt could cause serious or
fatal injury. Always use appropriate
child restraints.
All US States and Canadian provinces re-
quire the use of approved child restraints for
infants and small children. See ``Child re-
straints'' later in this section.
In addition, there are many types of child
restraints available for larger children which
should be used for maximum protection.
NISSAN recommends that all preteens
and children be restrained in the rear
seat if possible. According to accident
statistics, children are safer when prop-erly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-
tem (Air bag system) for the front passen-
ger (For precautions, see ``Supplemental
restraint system'' earlier in this section).
Infants and small children
NISSAN recommends that infants and small
children be placed in a child restraint that
complies with the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. You should choose
a child restraint that fits your vehicle and
always follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for installation and use.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child re-
straints should be seated and restrained by
the seat belts which are provided.
If the child's seating position has a shoulder
belt that fits close to the face or neck, the use
of a booster seat (commercially available)
may help overcome this. The booster seat
should raise the child so the shoulder belt is
properly positioned across the top, middle
portion of the shoulder and the lap belt is lowon the hips. The booster seat should fit the
vehicle seat and have a label certifying that
it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. Once the child has
grown enough so the shoulder belt is no
longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any
seat and do not allow a child in the
cargo areas while the vehicle is mov-
ing. The child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in an accident.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women
use seat belts. Contact your doctor for spe-
cific recommendations. The lap belt should
be worn snug and positioned as low as
possible around the hips, not the waist.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends injured persons use
seat belts, depending on the injury. Check
with your doctor for specific recommenda-
tions.

der harness to retract over the right
shoulder and securely restrain the child.
A clicking sound 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
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 an
authorized 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 theshoulder harness retractor is in the emer-
gency locking mode.
WARNING
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 one through three.

umn cover, so it is not necessary to look at
or speak directly into the microphone when
calling.
To do so could detract from the driving
operation and cause an accident.
See the manual for car phone operation.
Pre-wired and antenna for phone
installed model
Some models are pre-wired to accept the
genuine NISSAN cellular phone.
In addition, the same model has the phone
antenna built into the rear glass window.
When installing a CB ham radio, a car
phone or other transmitters in your NISSAN,
be sure to observe the following cautions,
otherwise the new equipment may ad-
versely affect the MFI (Multiport Fuel Injec-
tion) system and other electronic parts.
