seat than in the front seat. If
you must install a forward-
facing child restraint in the
front seat, see “Forward-fa-
cing child restraint installation
using the seat belts” (P.1-33).
— Even with the NISSAN Ad- vanced Air Bag System, never
install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An
inflating air bag could ser-
iously injure or kill a child. A
rear-facing child restraint
must only be used in the rear
seat.
— Be sure to purchase a child restraint that will fit the child
and vehicle. Some child re-
straints may not fit properly
in your vehicle.
— Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only
those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach
adult seat belts, or other
items or equipment to the
vehicle. Doing so could da-
mage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint 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.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-21

1-22Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.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 law requires the top tether strap on
forward-facing child restraints be se-
cured to the designated anchor point
on the vehicle.

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 child

restraint 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-
64).)
LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and in-
stallation of child restraints could
result in serious injury or death of a
child or other passengers in a sud-
den stop or collision:
.Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the loca-
tions shown in the illustration.
. Do not secure a child restraint in
the center rear seating position
using the LATCH lower anchors.
The child restraint will not be
secured properly. .
Inspect the lower anchors by in-
serting your fingers into the low-
er anchor area. Feel to make sure
there are no obstructions over
the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material.
The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the lower
anchors are obstructed.
. Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other
items or equipment to the vehi-
cle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The
child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
LATCH lower anchor location
The LATCH lower anchor points are
provided to install child restraints in the
rear outboard seating positions only. Do
not attempt to install a child restraint in
the center seating position using the
LATCH lower anchors.
