Interior trunk access
(if so equipped)
The trunk can be accessed from the rear
seat for loading and unloading, as shown.
WARNING
cNever allow anyone to ride in the
luggage area or on the rear seat
when it is in the fold-down position.
Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could re-
sult in serious injury in an accident
or sudden stop.c
Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
cWhen returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured in the latched position, pas-
sengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.cClosely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent them
from playing and becoming locked
in the trunk where they could be
seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the rear seat back se-
curely latched, when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car
keys.

The front seat passenger side seat belt and
rear three-point seat belts have a cinching
mechanism for child restraint installation. It is
referred to as the automatic locking mode.
When automatic locking mode is activated,
the seat belt cannot be withdrawn again
until the seat belt tongue is detached from
the buckle and fully retracted. Once re-
tracted, the seat belt is in the emergencylocking mode. For additional information,
see ``Child Restraints'' later in this section.
The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child restraint installation.
During normal seat belt use by a passen-
ger, the automatic locking mode should
not be activated. If it is activated it may
cause uncomfortable seat belt tension.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, press the button
on the buckle. The seat belt automatically

Installation on front passenger seat
WARNING
c
Never install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat. Air
bags inflate with great force. A rear-
facing child restraint could be struck
by the 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 passenger seat, move the pas-
senger seat to the rear most position.
cA child restraint with a top strap
should not be used in the front pas-
senger seat.cThe three-point seat belt in your ve-
hicle is equipped with an automatic
locking mode retractor which must
be used when installing a child re-
straint.
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.

seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat.It should be placed in
a front facing direction only.Move the
seat to the rear most position. Always
follow the 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.2. 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 manu-
facturer's instructions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the
belt is fully extended. At this time, the belt
retractor is in the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode). It reverts back to
