INSTALLATION ON SECOND
AND THIRD ROW OUTBOARD
POSITIONS
Front facing
The following instructions apply to second
row bucket seats, the second row bench
seat and the outboard positions of the three-
passenger bench seat.
WARNING
When installing a child restraint in the
two-passenger bench seat, if it is
placed in the seating position next to
the passenger side sliding door, be
sure both the auxiliary buckle and main
buckle are properly fastened. Failure to
do so could increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an accident.
WARNING
cThe three-point belt in your vehicle
is equipped with locking mode re-
tractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.
When you install a child restraint in a sec-
ond row bucket seat, the second row bench
seat or the outboard positions of the three-
passenger bench seat follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the restraint manufactur-
er's instructions.

2. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the
belt is fully extended. At this time, the
seat belt retractor is in the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode). It
reverts back to emergency locking mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on
the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt.

5. Before placing the child in the child re-
straint, use force to tilt the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to
make sure it is securely held in place.
6. Check that the retractor is in the auto-
matic locking mode by trying to pull more
seat belt out of the retractor. If you can-
not pull any more belt webbing out of the
retractor, the seat belt is in the automatic
locking mode.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
belt is not locked, repeat steps three
through six.After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted (for the passenger
side of the two-passenger bench seat, the
auxilliary buckle must also be released), the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) is canceled.

INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING
c
Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental front air bags inflate
with great force. A rear-facing child
restraint could be struck by the air
bag in a crash and could seriously
injure or kill your child.cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you install a forward-
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger
seat to the rear most position.
cA child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.cThe three-point belt in your vehicle
is equipped with a locking mode re-
tractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.

If you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat.It should be placed in
a forward-facing direction only.Move
the seat to the rearmost position. Always
follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions.Child restraints for infants
must be used in the rear-facing direc-
tion and therefore must not be used in
the front seat.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the
belt is fully extended. At this time, the
seat belt retractor is in the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode). It
reverts back to emergency locking mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.

belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull
any more belt webbing out of the retractor,
the seat belt is in the automatic locking
mode.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
lap belt is not locked, repeat steps three
through six.

WARNING!
cAttach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the locations
shown. If a child restraint is not se-
cured properly, your child could be
seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent.
cDo not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using
the LATCH system anchors. The
child restraint will not be secured
properly.cThe LATCH system anchors are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstance are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Some child restraints include two rigid or
webbing-mounted attachments that can be
connected to two anchors located at certain
seating positions in your vehicle. This sys-
tem is known as the LATCH (Lower An-
chors and Tether for Children) system. 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 re-
straint. Your vehicle is equipped with spe-
cial anchor points that are used with LATCH
system compatible child restraints. Check
your child restraint for a label stating that it is
compatible with the LATCH system. This
information may also be in the child restraint
owner's manual. If you have such a child
restraint, refer to the illustration for the rear
seating positions equipped with LATCH
system anchors which can be used to se-
cure the child restraint.

The LATCH system anchors are located at
the rear of the seat cushion near the seat-
back. A label is attached to the seatback to
help you locate the LATCH system anchors.
Some child restraints may also require the
use of a top tether strap. See ``Top Tether
Strap Child Restraint'' later in this section
for installation instructions.
When installing a child restraint, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child
restraint.
When you install a LATCH system compat-
ible child restraint with lower anchor attach-
ments in the rear seat, follow these steps:WARNING!
Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area
and feeling to make sure there are no
obstructions over the LATCH system
anchors, such as seat belt webbing or
seat cushion material. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly if
the LATCH system anchors are ob-
structed.
1. To install the LATCH system compatible
child restraint, insert the child restraint
LATCH system anchor attachments into
the anchor points on the rear seat. If the
child restraint is equipped with a top
tether, see ``Top Tether Strap Child Re-
straint'' later in this section for installation
instructions.
2. After attaching the child restraint and
before placing the child in it, use force to
tilt the child restraint from side to side and
tug it forward to make sure that the child
restraint is securely held in place.
3. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to each
use.A child restraint anchored with a top tether
strap can be installed on the second row
bench seat, a second row bucket seat, or
the three-passenger bench seat in the sec-
ond or third row. The chart indicates where
the tether strap must be attached and the
section of this manual that contains the
instructions for tethering.
