7. Check that the retractor is in the ALR mode

by trying to pull more seat belt out of the

retractor. If you cannot pull any more seat

belt webbing out of the retractor, the retrac-

tor is in the ALR mode.

8. Check to make sure that the child restraint is

properly secured prior to each use. If the belt

is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 7.

After the child restraint is removed and the seat

belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child restraint

mode) is canceled.

PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER

SEATS

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 or

booster seat can result 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.

NISSAN recommends that the booster

seat 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 booster seat in the

front seat, see “Booster seat installa-

tion” in this section.

A booster seat must only be installed in

a

seating

position

that

has

a

lap/shoulder belt. Failure to use a

three-point type seat belt with a

booster seat can result in a serious in-

jury in sudden stop or collision.

Improper use or improper installation

of a booster seat 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.
