CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION

USING THE SEAT BELTS

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 forward

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.
