NISSAN 2009 Frontier - Manual (Page 50)

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS – FRONT
PASSENGER AND REAR BENCH
SEAT (Crew cab models only)
WARNING
● Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-facing
child restraint in the front passenger
seat. Front air bags inflate with great
force. A rear-facing child restraint could
be struck by the front air bag in a crash
and could seriously injure or kill your
child.
● NISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a front-
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger seat
to the rearmost position. Also, be sure
the front passenger air bag status light
is illuminated to indicate the passenger
air bag is OFF. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” later in this sec-
tion for details.
● The three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
● Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
otherwise be unsecured and cause in-
jury to the child in a sudden stop or
collision. Also, it can change the opera-
tion of the front passenger air bag. See
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” later in this section.
● A child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat except for the King cab models.
The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installation using the vehicle seat belts in
the rear seats or the front passenger seat.
