ESP NISSAN ROGUE SPORT 2018 Owners Manual

1-18Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
territories require the use of approved
child restraints for infants and small
children. See “Child restraints” (P.1-20).
A child restraint may be secured in the
vehicle by using either the LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system
or with the vehicle seat belt. See “Child
restraints” (P.1-20) for more information.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear
seat. Studies show that children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
This is especially important because
your vehicle has a supplemental re-
straint system (Air bag system) for the
front passenger. See “Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS)” (P.1-40).
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
NISSAN recommends that infants be
placed in child restraints that comply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards. You should choose a child restraint
that fits your vehicle and always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for instal-
lation and use.
SMALL CHILDREN
Children that are over 1 year old and
weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain
in a rear-facing child restraint as long as
possible up to the height or weight limit
of the child restraint. Children who out-
grow the height or weight limit of the
rear-facing child restraint and are at least
1 year old should be secured in a forward-
facing child restraint with a harness. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for
minimum and maximum weight and
height recommendations. NISSAN recom-
mends that small children be placed in
child restraints that comply with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Cana-
dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle and always follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions for installation
and use.
LARGER CHILDREN
Children should remain in a forward-
facing child restraint with a harness until
they reach the maximum height or
weight limit allowed by the child restraint
manufacturer.
Once a child outgrows the height or
weight limit of the harness-equipped
forward-facing child restraint, NISSAN
recommends that the child be placed in
a commercially available booster seat toobtain proper seat belt fit. For a seat belt
to fit properly, the booster seat should
raise the child so that the shoulder belt is
properly positioned across the chest and
the top, middle portion of the shoulder.
The shoulder belt should not cross the
neck or face and should not fall off the
shoulder. The lap belt should lie snugly
across the lower hips or upper thighs, not
the abdomen.
A booster seat can only be used in
seating positions that have a three-point
type seat belt. The booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and have a label certify-
ing that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
A booster seat should be used until the
child can pass the seat belt fit test below:
.
Are the child’s back and hips against
the vehicle seatback?
. Is the child able to sit without slouch-
ing?
. Do the child’s knees bend easily over
the front edge of the seat with feet flat
on the floor?
. Can the child safely wear the seat belt
(lap belt low and snug across the hips
and shoulder belt across mid-chest
and shoulder)?

.The curtain air bags ordinarily will
not inflate in the event of a front
impact, rear impact, or lower
severity side collision. Always
wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of acci-
dents.
. The seat belts, the side air bags
and curtain air bags are most
effective when you are sitting
well back and upright in the seat.
The side air bags and curtain air
bags inflate with great force. Do
not allow anyone to place their
hand, leg or face near the side air
bags on the side of the seatback
of the front seat or near the side
roof rails. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seats or rear
outboard seats to extend their
hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples
of dangerous riding positions are
shown in the previous illustra-
tions.
. When sitting in the rear seat, do
not hold onto the seatback of the
front seat. If the side air bag
inflates, you may be seriously
injured. Be especially careful with
children, who should always be properly restrained. Some exam-
ples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the
illustrations.
. Do not use seat covers on the
front seatbacks. They may inter-
fere with side air bag inflation.

Do not apply any load directly to the roof
side rails. Cross bars must be installed
before applying load/cargo/luggage to
the roof of the vehicle. Genuine NISSAN
accessory cross bars are available
through a NISSAN dealer. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 150 lb (68 kg), however do not
exceed the accessory cross bars load
capacity.
Be careful that your vehicle does not
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and

M.S.S. certification label (located on the
driver’s door pillar). For additional infor-
mation regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer
to “Vehicle loading information” (P.10-11).
WARNING
.Always install the cross bars onto
the roof side rails before loading
cargo of any kind. Loading cargo
directly onto the roof side rails or
the vehicle’s roof may cause ve-
hicle damage.
. Drive extra carefully when the
vehicle is loaded at or near the
cargo carrying capacity, espe-
cially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the cross
bars.
. Heavy loading of the cross bars
has the potential to affect the
vehicle stability and handling
during sudden or unusual hand-
ling maneuvers.
. Roof rack cross bars should be
evenly distributed.
. Do not exceed maximum roof
rack cross bars load. .
Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal in-
jury.
