PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD

RESTRAINTS

WARNING

Infants and small children should al-

ways be placed in an appropriate child

restraint while riding in the vehicle.

Failure to use a child restraint can re-

sult in serious injury or death.

Infants and small children should never

be carried on your lap. It is not possible

for even the strongest adult to resist the

forces of a severe accident. The child

could be crushed between the adult and

parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the

same seat belt around both your child

and yourself.

Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air

Bag System, never install a rear-facing

child restraint in the front seat. An in-

flating front air bag could seriously in-

jure or kill your child. A rear-facing child

restraint must only be used in the rear

seat.

NISSAN recommends that the child re-

straint be installed in the rear seat. Ac-

cording to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in

the rear seat than in the front seat. If

you must install a front facing child re-

straint in the front seat, see “Child re-

straint installation using the seat belts”

later in this section.

Improper use or improper installation

of a child restraint can increase the risk

or severity of injury for both the child

and other occupants of the vehicle and

can lead to serious injury or death in an

accident.

Follow all of the child restraint manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation

and use. When purchasing a child re-

straint, be sure to select one which will

fit your child and vehicle. It may not be

possible to properly install some types

of child restraints in your vehicle.
