SEATS, SEAT BELTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

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)?

will not be properly installed
using the damaged ancho-
rage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
— Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts or har-
nesses.
— A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be
used in the front passenger
seat.
— Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child
restraint.
— Infants and children should always be placed in an appro-
priate child restraint while in
the vehicle.
. When the child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with the
LATCH system or a seat belt. In a
sudden stop or collision, loose
objects can injure occupants or
damage the vehicle.CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle
can become very hot. Check the
seating surface and buckles before
placing a child in the child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal
child restraint anchor system, referred to
as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) system. Some child
restraints include rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be con-
nected to these anchors.
For details, see “Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system”
(P.1-22).
If you do not have a LATCH compatible
child restraint, the vehicle seat belts can
be used.
Several manufacturers offer child re-
straints for infants and small children of
various sizes. When selecting any child
restraint, keep the following points in
mind:
. Choose only a restraint with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213. .
Check the child restraint in your
vehicle to be sure it is compatible with
the vehicle’s seat and seat belt sys-
tem.
. If 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 de-
signed for your child’s height and
weight. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures.
. If the combined weight of the child
and child restraint is less than 65 lbs
(29.5 kg), you may use either the
LATCH anchors or the seat belt to
install the child restraint (not both at
the same time).
. If the combined weight of the child
and child restraint is greater than 65
lbs (29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt
(not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint.
. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for instal-
lation.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories require that infants and
small children be restrained in an ap-
proved child restraint at all times while
the vehicle is being operated. Canadian

CHildren (LATCH) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special
anchor points that are used with LATCH
system compatible child restraints. 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 unless the combined weight of
the child and child restraint exceeds 65
lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight of the
child and child restraint is greater than 65
lbs (29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt
(not the lower anchors) to install the child
restraint. Be sure to follow the childrestraint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
CAUTION
Store the loose LATCH covers (for
example, in the console box) where
they will not get damaged to avoid
losing them. (See “Console box” (P.2-
56).)

Anchor points are located on the back
side of the seatbacks.
If a child restraint has a top tether strap, it
must be used when installing with the
LATCH lower anchor attachments or seat
belts.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap child restraint on
the rear seat, it is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT

INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. Failure to use the ALR mode
will result in the child restraint not
being properly secured. The restraint
could tip over or be loose and cause
injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision.

6. After attaching the child restraint, testit before you place the child in it. Push
it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the seat belt path.
The child restraint should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm), from side to
side. Try to tug it forward and check to
see if the belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the seat belt as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked,
repeat steps 1 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.

Forward-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the
combined weight of the child and the
child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If
the combined weight of the child and the
child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5
kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the
lower anchors) to install the child re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle
seat belt in the rear seats or in the frontpassenger seat:
1.
If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in
a forward-facing direction only.
Move the seat to the rearmost posi-
tion. 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. Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’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. If the head restraint
is removed, store it in a secure place.
Be sure to reinstall the head re-
straint when the child restraint is
removed. See “Head restraints/head-
rests” (P.1-6) for head restraint adjust-
ment, removal and installation
information.
If the seating position does not have
an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child re-
straint fit, try another seating position
or a different child restraint.
SSS0360B
Forward-facing — step 3
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 instruc-
tions for belt routing.
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 (rear seat
installation only). See “Installing top
tether strap” (P.1-36). Do not install
child restraints that require the use
of a top tether strap in seating posi-
tions that do not have a top tether
anchor.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-33

1-42Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
away as practical from the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel.
Always use the seat belts.
. The driver and front passenger
seat belt buckles are equipped
with sensors that detect if the
seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors
the severity of a collision and seat
belt usage then inflates the air
bags as needed. Failure to prop-
erly wear seat belts can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with occupant classifi-
cation sensors (weight sensors)
that turn the front passenger air
bag OFF under some conditions.
These sensors are only used in
this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt
can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident. See
“Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P.1-48).
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them in-
side the steering wheel rim could
increase the risk that they are
injured if the front air bag in- flates.
