cCheck the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.
cIf the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is
designed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.
WARNING
cImproper use of a child restraint can
increase the risk or severity of injury for
both the child and other occupants of
the vehicle.
cFollow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation
and use. When purchasing a child re-
straint, be sure to select one which will
fit your child and vehicle. It may not be
possible to properly install some types
of child restraints in your vehicle.cIf the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being in-
jured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
cAdjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the child restraint, but as
upright as possible.
cAfter attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side. Try to tug it forward
and check to see if the belt holds the
restraint in place. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 inch (25
mm) . If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the belt as necessary, or put the
restraint in another seat and test it
again.
cIf you must install a front facing child
restraint in the front seat, see “Child
restraint installation on front passenger
seat” later in this section.
cWhen your child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in
case of a sudden stop or 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.
CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
ON 2ND ROW CAPTAIN’S CHAIRS
WARNING
cThe three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor 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.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
WARNING
cNever install a rear-facing child restraint in the
front passenger seat. Supplemental front air
bags inflate with great force. A rear-facing child
restraint could be struck by the supplemental
front air bag in a crash and could seriously injure
or kill your child.
cNISSAN recommends that child restraints be in-
stalled in the rear seat. However, if you must install
a forward-facing child restraint in the front passen-
ger seat, move the passenger seat to the rearmost
position. Also, be sure the front passenger air bag
status light is illuminated to indicate the passenger
air bag is OFF. See “Front passenger air bag and
status light” earlier in this section for details.
cA child restraint with a top tether strap should
not be used in the front passenger seat unless
the vehicle is the 2 passenger cargo van only.
cThe three-point seat belt in your vehicle is
equipped with an automatic 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 restraint could tip over or other-
wise be unsecured and cause injury to the child
in a sudden stop or collision. Also, it can change
the operation of the front passenger air bag. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light” ear-
lier in this section.

5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to push 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 (25 mm) . If it does
move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , pull again
on the shoulder belt to further tighten the
child restraint. If unable to properly secure
the restraint move the restraint to another
seating position and try again , or try a differ-
ent child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles.6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more seat belt
out of the retractor. If you cannot pull any
more belt webbing out of the retractor, the
retractor is in the automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 6.
8. Turn the ignition to the ON position. The
passenger air bag status light should say
“PASS AIR BAG OFF”
oror. If this light is not illuminated it may
indicate a malfunction.Move the child re-
straint to another seating position.
Have the system checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.
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.

The front passenger seat belt sensors are de-
signed to detect if the seat belt is buckled and the
amount of tension on the seat belt, such as when
it is in the automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) . Based on the weight on the seat detected
by the weight sensor and the belt tension de-
tected on the seat belt, the advanced air bag
system determines whether the front passenger
air bag should be automatically turned OFF as
required by the regulations.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are
properly seated and using the seat belt as out-
lined in this manual should not cause the passen-
ger air bag to be automatically turned OFF. For
small adults it may be turned OFF. Also, if the
occupant takes his/her weight off the seat cush-
ion (for example, by not sitting upright, by sitting
on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out
of position) , this could cause the sensor to turn
the air bag OFF. In addition, if the occupant
improperly uses the seat belt in the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode) , this could
cause the air bag to be turned OFF. Always be
sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt
properly for the most effective protection by the
seat belt and supplemental air bag.
NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil-
dren be properly restrained in a rear seat.
NISSAN also recommends that appropriate child
restraints and booster seats be properly installedin a rear seat. If this is not possible, the weight
sensor and seat belt sensors are designed to
operate as described above to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF for specified child re-
straints as required by the regulations. Failing to
properly secure child restraints and to use the
automatic locking mode (child restraint mode)
may allow the restraint to tip or move in an acci-
dent or sudden stop. This can also result in the
passenger air bag inflating in a crash instead of
being OFF. See “Child restraints” later in this
section for proper use and installation.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied and
the seat belt is not buckled, the passenger air bag
is designed not to inflate in a crash. However,
heavy objects placed on the seat could result in
air bag inflation, because of the object’s weight
detected by the weight sensor. Other conditions
could also result in air bag inflation, such as if a
child is standing on the seat, or if two children are
on the seat, contrary to the instructions in this
manual. Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained properly.
Using the passenger air bag status light, you can
monitor when the front passenger air bag is au-
tomatically turned OFF. The light will illuminate
(indicating the air bag is OFF and will not inflate)
when the front passenger seat is not occupied.If an adult occupant is in the seat and the pas-
senger air bag status light is illuminated (indicat-
ing that the air bag is OFF) , it could be that the
person is a small adult, not sitting on the seat, or
not using the seat belt properly. If a child restraint
must be used in the front seat, but the status light
is not lit (indicating that the air bag might inflate in
a crash) , it could be that the child restraint or seat
belt is not being used properly. If such situations
happen, properly position and restrain the occu-
pant or child restraint. Otherwise reposition the
occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air
bag system, the passenger air bag status
light
orwill illuminate and the
supplemental air bag warning light, located
in the meter and gauges area in the center of the
instrument panel, will blink. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING
cDo not use the HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage door opener which cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing garage
door and then automatically stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
cDuring the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
cYour vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINKT
1. To begin, press and hold the two outer
HomeLinkTbuttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light
s1blinks (after 20
seconds) . Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter
1 - 3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the
HomeLinkTsurface.3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold both the HomeLinkTbutton you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton.

4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator
light on the HomeLinkTflashes, changing
from a “slow blink” to a “rapidly flashing
blink”. This could take up to 90 seconds.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapidly flash-
ing light indicates successful programming.
To activate the garage door or other pro-
grammed device, press and hold the pro-
grammed HomeLinkTbutton — releasing
when the device begins to activate.
5. If the indicator light on the HomeLinkTblinks

HomeLinkThas picked up a “rolling code”
garage door opener signal. You will need to
proceed with the next steps to train the
HomeLinkTto complete the programming
which may require a ladder and another per-
son for convenience.
6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” pro-
gram button located on the garage door
opener’s motor to activate the “training
mode”. This button is usually located near
the antenna wire that hangs down from the
motor. If the wire originates from under a
light lens, you will need to remove the lens to
access the program button.NOTE:
Once you have pressed and released the
program button on the garage door open-
er’s motor and the “training light” is lit, you
have 30 seconds in which to perform step 7.
Use the help of a second person for conve-
nience to assist when performing this step.
7. Within 30 seconds of pressing and releas-
ing the garage door opener program button,
quickly and firmly press and release the
HomeLinkTbutton you’ve just programmed.
Press and release the HomeLinkTbutton up
to 3 times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLinkTbutton should now be pro-
grammed. (To program the remaining
HomeLinkTbuttons for additional door or
gate openers, follow steps 2-8 only.)
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“clear” all previously programmed
HomeLinkTbuttons.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLinkTbuttons, please
refer to the HomeLinkTweb site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-NISSAN-1 (1-
800-647-7261) .PROGRAMMING HOMELINKTFOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand-
held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2 sec-
onds. To program your hand-held transmitter to
HomeLinkT, continue to press and hold the
HomeLinkTbutton (note steps2-4under “Pro-
gramming HomeLinkT”) while you press and re-
press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitters every
2 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly
(indicating successful programming) .
NOTE:
