CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH-3RD ROW BENCH
SEAT (if so equipped)
WARNING
cAttach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown.
For the LATCH lower anchor locations
see “LATCH (Latch Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system”. 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.
cInspect 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
system anchors are obstructed.
Front-facing
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint in the 3rd row bench seats using
LATCH:
1. Recline the seatback if the seatback is ad-
justable to assist in attaching the child re-
straint to the lower anchors.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-
ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions.
3. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the anchors.
4. Return the seatback to its normal upright
and locked position.
The back of the child restraint should be secured
against the vehicle seatback. If the seating posi-
tion 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.

point. See “Top tether strap child restraint” in
this section. Do not install child restraints
that require the use of a top tether strap to
seating positions that do not have a top
tether anchor.7. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
hold the child restraint near the LATCH at-
tachment and use force to push the child

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
cEven with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-facing
child restraint in the front passenger
seat. Supplemental front air bags in-
flate 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 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” earlier in this sec-
tion for details.
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.cWhen installing a child restraint system
in the rear center position, both the
center seat belt connector tongue and
buckle tongue must be secured. See
“Attaching the 3rd row center seat belt”
earlier in this section.
cA child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat except for the 2-passenger
cargo van.
cFront-facing child restraints can be in-
stalled in all 3rd row bench seat posi-
tions. However, front-facing child re-
straints that require the use of a top
tether strap can be installed in the cen-
ter 3rd row position only. Do not install
a child restraint requiring a top tether
strap in an outboard position and at-
tempt to angle the tether to the 3rd row
center anchor.
The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installation using the vehicle seat belts in
the rear seats or the front passenger seat.
Front-facing
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seats or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
front-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-
ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions
The back of the child restraint should be secured
against the vehicle seat back. If necessary, adjust
or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. See “Head restraint adjust-
ment” in this section. If the head restraint is re-
moved, 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.
3. 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 manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.4. Pull on the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor
is in the automatic locking mode (child re-
straint mode) . It reverts to emergency lock-
ing mode when the seat belt is fully re-
tracted.

5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the
shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt.6. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly in
the center of the child restraint with your
knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while pulling up on the seat
belt.7. If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point. See “Top tether strap child restraint” in
this section. Do not install child restraints
that require the use of a top tether strap to
seating positions that do not have a top
tether anchor.

8. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
hold the child restraint near the seat belt
path and 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 you are unable to prop-
erly secure the restraint, 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 8.11. If the child restraint is installed in the front
passenger seat, turn the ignition switch to
the ON position. The passenger air bag sta-
tus light
should illuminate. If this light
is not illuminated see9Front passenger air
bag and status light9in this section.Move
the child restraint 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.
Rear-facing
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seats:
1.Child restraints for infants must be
used in the rear-facing direction and
therefore must not be used in the front
seat.Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
