HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this sec-
tion. Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint/headrest stalks or
remove the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head
restraint/headrest has been removed. If
the head restraint/headrest was removed,
reinstall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to fol-
low these instructions can reduce the ef-
fectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints/headrests.

Indicates the seating position is equipped with
a head restraint.
 Indicates the seating position is equipped with
a headrest.
+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped
with a head restraint or headrest (if applicable) .
● Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable. ●
Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalks to lock
them in a desired adjustment position.
● The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch to
secure them to the seat frame.
● Proper Adjustment:
– For the adjustable type, align the head restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.
– If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.
● If the head restraint/headrest has been re-
moved, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.

3. The back of the child restraint should besecured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint/headrest is

tion for head restraint/headrest adjustment
information. If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

additional slack from the anchor attach-
ments. Press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint with your
knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion

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 seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint/headrest is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be sure
to reinstall the head restraint/headrest
when the child restraint is removed.
See “Head restraints/headrests” in this sec-
tion for head restraint/headrest adjustment,
removal and installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest 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.
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 “Installing top tether strap” in this
section. Do not install child restraints that
require the use of a top tether strap in seat-
ing positions that do not have a top tether
anchor. 4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor
is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode (child restraint mode) . It reverts to
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.

safety”, “Child restraints” and “Booster seats”
sections before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in the
rear seat or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rear-
most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a front-facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions. 3. The booster seat should be positioned on
the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. If the head
restraint/headrest is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to reinstall the
head restraint/headrest when the
booster seat is removed. See “Head

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the following systems:
● Driver and passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System)
● Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
● Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag
● Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in certain frontal
collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
cushion the impact force to the chest area of the
driver and front passenger in certain side impact
collisions. The side air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.
