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
seat 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.
