Installing top tether strap

WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed
using the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killed

in a collision.

The child restraint top tether strap must be used
when installing the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchor attachments.

First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH
lower anchors (rear outboard seat positions
only).

1. Remove the head restraint and store it in a

secure place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint when the child restraint is removed
(rear outboard seat positions).

See “Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-5) for
head restraint adjustment, removal and
installation information.

Position the top tether strap over the top of
the seatback.

2. Secure the top tether strap to the tether

anchor point on the back of the seatback
behind the child restraint.

3. Refer to the appropriate child restraint

installation procedure steps in this section
before tightening the tether strap.

If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap, consult your NISSAN
dealer for details.

FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE
SEAT BELTS

WARNING

The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) 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
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. See “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light” (P.1-46).
