PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-
STRAINTS

WARNING

. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use and in-
stallation of child restraints could
result in serious injury or death of a
child or other passengers in a
sudden stop or collision:

— The child restraint must be used

and installed properly. Always
follow all of the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for
installation and use.

— Infants and children should

never be held on anyone’s lap.
Even the strongest adult cannot
resist the forces of a collision.

— Do not put a seat belt around

both a child and another pas-
senger.

— NISSAN recommends that all

child restraints be installed in
the rear seat (models with rear
seat). Studies show that chil-
dren are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat. If you must
install a forward-facing child
restraint in the front seat.
(

“Forward-facing child re-

straint installation using the
seat belts” page 1-26)

— Even with the NISSAN Advanced

Air Bag System, never install a
rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat. An inflating air bag
could seriously injure or kill a
child. A rear-facing child re-
straint must only be used in the
rear seat (models with rear
seat).

— Be sure to purchase a child

restraint that will fit the child
and vehicle. Some child re-
straints may not fit properly in
your vehicle.

— Child restraint anchor points are

designed to withstand loads
from child restraints that are
properly fitted.

— Never use the anchor points for

adult seat belts or harnesses.

— A child restraint with a top tether

strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat (models
with rear seat).

— Keep seatbacks as upright as

possible after fitting the child
restraint.

— Infants and children should al-

ways be placed in an appropri-
ate child restraint while in the
vehicle.

. When the child restraint is not in

use, keep it secured with the LATCH
system (if so equipped) or a seat
belt. In a sudden stop or collision,
loose objects can injure occupants
or damage the vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing a
child in the child restraint.

Models with rear seat are equipped with a
universal child restraint anchor system, referred
