INTEGRATED CHILD SAFETY
SEATS (if so equipped)
WARNING
cFailure to follow the instructions for
the use of these integrated child
safety seats can result in your child
striking the vehicle's interior during
a sudden stop or crash, causing the
injury or death of your child.
cImproper use of a child restraint can
increase the risk or severity of injury
for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces
require that infants and small children be
restrained in approved child restraints at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
The optional second row bench seat con-
tains two integrated child safety seats.
These seats are designed for use only by
children who weigh between 22 and 60
pounds (10-27 kg) and whose height is 45
inches (1145 mm) or less and who are
capable of sitting upright alone.

seats must only be used by children who
meet the following requirements:
cAGE:
At least one year old
cSEATED HEIGHT:
Top of child's shoulders must be below
the shoulder harness openings of the
integrated child seat.
Children less than one year old should be
restrained in an appropriate separate child
restraint. Children whose shoulders are

strained in an appropriate separate child
restraint or in the appropriate vehicle seat
belt system. Refer to ``Child Restraints'' and
``Precautions On Seat Belt Usage'' in this
section for important child safety information.
Using the Integrated Child Safety
Seats
WARNING:
cNever use the vehicle seat belts to

safety seat as a booster cushion
with the vehicle seat belts.

cBefore placing the child in the inte-
grated child safety seat, confirm that
the bench seatback is securely
locked and the seatback release le-
ver is in full down position.
cAlways make sure the integrated
child safety seat belts are properly
positioned on your child. The child
should sit straight up and back
against the bench seat. The shoulder
harnesses should be centered over
the shoulders and fastened with the
chest clip. The belt buckle should be
between the legs and latched to the
shoulder belt tongue. Snugly adjust
the belts around your child. Failure
to properly position the child can
increase the risk or severity of injury
to the child in an accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the child
restraint.
Securing the child
Before using the integrated child safety
seats, carefully read the shoulder har-
ness, seatback release, and integrated
child safety seat cushion labels.
The following steps apply to both the left
and right integrated child safety seats.
1. Be sure your child meets all of the re-
quired age, weight and height require-
ments for the safe use of the integrated
child safety seat.
2. Be sure the second row bench seat is
securely latched to the floor of the ve-
hicle. Refer to ``Flexible seating'' in this
section for proper seat installation proce-
dures.
3. Be sure the second row bench seatback
is locked by grasping it and trying to rock
it back and forth. Also, check that the
seatback release lever is in the full down
position.

6. Place the child on the integrated child
safety seat. Place the belt buckle be-
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.
WARNING
cShoulder harness tongues and chest
clips are equipped with visual indica-
tors to confirm proper and secure
latching. For the safety of the child
and occupants of the vehicle, all indi-cators must show green before oper-
ating the vehicle.
cIf the shoulder harness is unfas-
tened or not fastened properly, the
child could be seriously injured.
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 integratedchild safety seat, allow the right shoul-
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 the

shoulder 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.
