remove seats NISSAN QUEST 2005 V42 / 3.G User Guide

When you install a child restraint on the 3rd row
bench seat, follow these steps:1. Position the child restraint on the seat. It can
be placed in a front facing direction, de-
pending on the size of the child. Adjust the
head restraint to its highest position. Always
follow the restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat back. If
necessary, adjust or remove the head re-
straint to obtain the correct child restraint fit.
See “Head restraint adjustment” earlier in
this section. If the head restraint is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to install
the head restraint when the child restraint is
removed. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.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

shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to tilt the child restraint from side
to side, and tug it forward to make sure that
it is securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch (25mm) . If it does move
more than 1 inch (25 mm) , pull again on the
shoulder belt to further tighten the child re-
straint. If unable to properly secure the re-
straint move the restraint to another seating
position and try again , or try a different child
restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all types
of vehicles.

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 an-
chors, such as seat belt webbing or seat
cushion material. The child restraint will
not be secured properly if the LATCH sys-
tem anchors are obstructed.
1. To install the LATCH system compatible
child restraint, insert the child restraint
LATCH system anchor attachments into the
anchor points on the seat. If the child re-
straint is equipped with a top tether, see
“Top tether strap child restraint” later in this
section for installation instructions.
2. After attaching the child restraint and before
placing the child in it, use force to push the
child restraint from side to side and tug it
forward to make sure that the child restraint
is securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm) .
3. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use.
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it must
be secured to the anchor point provided behind
its position.
WARNING
cChild restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
cAfter removing a rear seat head re-
straint for top tether installation, store
it securely to prevent it from causing
injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or an
accident. Always replace it and adjust
properly when top tether is no longer in
use.
First, secure the child restraint with the seat belt
or the LATCH system (2nd row captain’s chairs
and the center position of the 3rd row bench seat
only) , as applicable.
For the front passenger seat in the 2 passenger
cargo van only, adjust the head restraint to its
highest position and route the top tether strapbetween the head restraint and the top of the
seatback. Secure the tether strap to the tether
anchor point on the floor directly behind the seat.
Tighten the tether strap according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions to remove any slack.
For the 2nd and 3rd row seats, remove the head
restraint from the seatback. Store it in a secure
place. Position the top tether strap over the top of
the seatback and secure it to the tether anchor
bracket as shown later in this section. Tighten the
tether strap according to the manufacturer’s in-
structions to remove any slack.
WARNING
A child restraint with a top tether strap can
only be used in the 3rd row bench seat,
center position. Do not place in an out-
board seating position and attempt to
angle the tether strap to the center
position.
For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint
installation instructions in this section and the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

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 pas-
senger seat.It should be placed in a
front-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position.Adjust the
head restraint to its highest position. Always
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.Child restraints for infants
must be used in the rear-facing direc-
tion and therefore must not be used in
the front seat.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seat back. Ifnecessary, adjust or remove the head re-
straint to obtain the correct child restraint fit.
See “Head restraint adjustment” earlier in
this section. If the head restraint is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to install
the head restraint when the child restraint is
removed. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER
SEATS
WARNING
cInfants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate child
restraint while riding in the vehicle.
Failure to use a child restraint or
booster seat can result in serious injury
or death.
cInfants and small children should never
be carried on your lap. It is not possible
for even the strongest adult to resist the
forces of a severe accident. The child
could be crushed between the adult and
parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the
same seat belt around both your child
and yourself.
cNISSAN recommends that the booster
seat be installed in the rear seat. Ac-
cording to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat.

and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions for adjusting the belt routing.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt
toward the retractor to take up extra slack.
Be sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the top, middle portion of the child’s
