LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) SYSTEMThe LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) anchor points are located in the seat
cushions on both of the 2nd row captain’s chairs
and in the center seating position only for the 3rd
row seat.
WARNING
cAttach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown. If
a child restraint is not secured properly,
your child could be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.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 con-
nected to two anchors located at certain seating
positions in your vehicle. This system is known as
the LATCH 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 restraint.

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system compat-
ible 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 seating positions equipped with LATCH sys-
tem anchors which can be used to secure the
child restraint.
The LATCH system anchors are located at the
rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. A
label is attached to the seatback to help you
locate the LATCH system anchors.
LATCH child restraints generally require the use
of a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap child
restraint” later in this section for installation in-
structions.
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 compatible
child restraint to the lower anchor attachments,
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 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 strap

between 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.
Anchor point locations
Anchor points are located on the floor behind the
front passenger seat (2 passenger cargo van
only) , on the back of the 2nd row captain’s chairs
and the back of the center seat position on the
3rd row bench seat as shown.
If you have any questions when installing a
top strap child restraint on the rear seat,
consult your NISSAN dealer for details.
The front passenger seat and 2nd row captain’s
chair anchor point locations are marked with the
label shown.

cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a forward
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger 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” later in this sec-
tion for details.cA child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat unless the vehicle is the 2 pas-
senger cargo van only.
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. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front passenger
air bag and status light” later in this
section.If you must install a child restraint in the front seat,
follow these steps:
s1Position 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. If
