WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used to at-
tach 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.

FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS

WARNING

The three-point seat belt with Automatic
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. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light” in this section.

For additional information, refer to all Warnings
and Cautions in the “Child safety” and “Child
restraints” sections of this manual before install-
ing a child restraint.

Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint exceeds
65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight of the
child and the child restraint is greater than 65 lbs
(29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the
lower anchors) to install the child restraint. Be
sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation.

Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the
rear seats or in the front passenger seat:

1. If you must install a child restraint in

the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move
the seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and, there-
fore, must not be used in the front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-

ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions.

The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.

If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint/headrest is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be sure
to reinstall the head restraint/headrest
when the child restraint is removed. For
additional

information,

refer

“Head

restraints/headrests” in this section for head
restraint/headrest adjustment, removal and
installation information.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through the child

restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.

If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point (rear seat installation only). For addi-
tional information, refer to “Installing top
tether strap” in this section.

Do not install child restraints that require the
use of a top tether strap in seating positions
that do not have a top tether anchor.

8. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-

fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the seat belt path. The child restraint should
not move more than 1 inch (25 mm), from
side to side. Try to tug it forward and check
to see if the belt holds the restraint in place.
If the restraint is not secure, tighten the seat
belt as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may need
to try a different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles.

9. Check to make sure the child restraint is

properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2
through 8.

10. If the child restraint is installed in the front

passenger seat, place the ignition switch in
the ON position. The front passenger air bag
status light

should illuminate. If this

light is not illuminated refer to “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light” in this section.
Move the child restraint to another
seating

position.

Have

the

system

checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode (child re-
straint mode) is canceled.

BOOSTER SEATS

For additional information on installing a booster
seat in your vehicle, follow the instructions out-
lined in this section.

Precautions on booster seats

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured
or killed in a sudden stop or collision
greatly increases:

– Make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the child’s face
and neck and the lap portion of the
belt does not cross the stomach.

– Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the child’s
arm.

– A booster seat must only be installed

in a seating position that has a
lap/shoulder belt.

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-39

A. Lower back booster seat

B. High back booster seat

Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in mind:

● Choose only a booster seat with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

● Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be

sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.

● Make sure the child’s head will be properly

supported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat. The seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. For example, if a
low back booster seat is chosen, the vehicle
seatback must be at or above the center of
the child’s ears. If the seatback is lower than
the center of the child’s ears, a high back
booster seat should be used.

● If the booster seat is compatible with your

vehicle, place the child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is compatible with the
child. Always follow all recommended pro-
cedures.

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS

This SRS section contains important information
concerning the following systems:

● Driver and front passenger supplemental

front-impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System)

● Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bag

● Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-

over supplemental air bag

● Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front seats)

Supplemental front-impact air bag system

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in certain frontal
collisions.

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact force to
the chest area of the driver and front passenger in
certain side-impact collisions. The side air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.

WRS0475

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS)

1-42

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Roof-mounted

curtain

side-impact

and

rollover supplemental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head of occupants in front and rear outboard
seating positions in certain side-impact colli-
sions. The curtain air bags are designed to inflate
on the side where the vehicle is impacted. In a
rollover, the curtain air bags are designed to
inflate and remain inflated for a short time.

The SRS is designed to supplement the crash
protection provided by the driver and front pas-
senger seat belts and is not a substitute for
them. Seat belts should always be correctly worn
and the occupant seated a suitable distance
away from the steering wheel, instrument panel
and door finishers. For additional information
about instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage, refer to “Seat belts” in this section.

The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.

WARNING

● The front air bags ordinarily will not

inflate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or severity
of injury in various kinds of accidents

● The front passenger air bag will not

inflate if the passenger air bag status
light is lit. For additional information,
refer to “Front passenger air bag and
status light” in this section.

● The seat belts and the front air bags are

most effective when you are sitting well
back and upright in the seat. The front
air bags inflate with great force. Even
with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, if you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of posi-
tion in any way, you are at greater risk of
injury or death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries from the
front air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back against

WRS0031

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-43

the seatback and as far away as practi-
cal from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Always properly use the
seat belts.

● The driver and front passenger seat belt

buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
monitors the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage, then inflates the air
bags as needed. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.

● The front passenger seat is equipped

with an occupant classification sensor
(weight sensor) that turns the front pas-
senger air bag OFF under some condi-
tions. This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase the
risk or severity of injury in an accident.
For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in this section.

● Keep hands on the outside of the steer-

ing wheel. Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could increase the
risk that they are injured when the front
air bag inflates.

WARNING

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags:

● The side air bags and curtain air bags

ordinarily will not inflate in the event of
a frontal impact, rear impact, or lower
severity side collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.

WARNING

● The seat belts, the side air bags and

curtain air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat with both feet on the floor. The
side air bag and curtain air bag inflate
with great force. Do not allow anyone to
place their hand, leg or face near the
side air bag on the side of the seatback
of the front seat or near the side roof
rails. Do not allow anyone sitting in the
front seats or rear outboard seats to
extend their hand out of the window or
lean against the door. Some examples
of

dangerous

riding

positions

are

shown in the previous illustrations.

WARNING

● When sitting in the rear seat, do not

hold onto the seatback of the front seat.
If the side air bag inflates, you may be
seriously injured. Be especially careful
with children, who should always be
properly restrained. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the illustrations.

● Do not use seat covers on the front

seatbacks. They may interfere with side
air bag inflation.
