CHILD RESTRAINTS  
.
Child restraint systems specially de-  
signed for infants and small children are  
available from several manufacturers.  
When selecting any child restraint sys-  
tems, place your child in the child re-  
straint system and check the various  
adjustments to be sure that the child  
restraint system is compatible with your  
child. Always follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions for installation and use.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS  
USAGE  
.
.
NISSAN recommends that the child re-  
straint system be installed in the rear  
seat. According to accident statistics,  
children are safer when properly re-  
strained in the rear seat rather than in  
the front seat.  
Follow all of the child restraint system  
manufacturer’s instructions for installa-  
tion and use. When purchasing a child  
restraint system, be sure to select one  
which will fit your child and vehicle. It  
may not be possible to properly install  
some types of child restraint systems in  
your vehicle.  
The direction of the child restraint, either  
front-facing or rear-facing, depends on  
the type of the child restraint and the size  
of the child. Refer to the child restraint  
manufacturer’s instructions for details.  
For a front-facing child restraint system,  
check to make sure the shoulder belt  
does not fit close to child’s face or neck. If  
it does, put the shoulder belt behind the  
child restraint system. If you must install  
a front-facing child restraint system in  
the front seat, see “Installation on front  
passenger’s seat - with automatic locking  
mode (for Mexico)” (P.1-33).

SSS0099  
Before folding down the seat, put the buckles in  
the storage of the seat cushion to avoid  
dropping it under the seat cushion.  
WARNING:  
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE  
.
.
.
Infants and small children should never  
be carried on your lap. It is not possible  
for even the strongest adult to resist the  
Periodically check that the seat belt and all the  
metal components, such as buckles, tongues,  
retractors, flexible wires and anchors, work  
properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts or  
other damage on the seat belt webbing is  
found, the entire seat belt assembly should be  
replaced.  
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of the  
seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract  
slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a  
clean, dry cloth.  
To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild  
soap solution or any solution recommended  
for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Then wipe  
with a cloth and allow the seat belts to dry in  
the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to retract  
until they are completely dry.  
forces of  
a severe accident. The child  
could be crushed between the adult and  
parts of the vehicle. Also, it is dangerous  
to put a seat belt around a child being  
carried on the occupant’s lap.  
.
.
Infants and children need special protec-  
tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit  
them properly. The shoulder belt may  
come too close to the face or neck. The  
lap belt may not fit over their small hip  
bones. In an accident, an improperly  
fitting seat belt could cause serious or  
fatal injury.  
Infants and small children should always  
be placed in an appropriate child re-  
straint system while riding in the vehicle.  
Failure to use a child restraint system can  
result in serious injury or death.  
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-19  
.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint  
system in the front seat. An inflating  
supplemental front-impact air bag could  
seriously injure or kill your child. A rear-  
facing child restraint system must only  
be used in the rear seat.  
Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-  
tioned to fit a child restraint system, but  
as upright as possible.  
If the seat belt in the position where a  
child restraint system is installed requires  
a locking clip and if it is not used, injuries  
could result from a child restraint system  
tipping over during normal vehicle brak-  
ing or cornering.  
After attaching a child restraint system,  
test it before you place the child in it. Tilt  
it from side to side. Try to tug it forward  
and check if it is held securely in place.  
The child restraint system should not  
move more than 25 mm (1 in). If the  
restraint is not secure, tighten the belt  
as necessary, or install the restraint in  
another seat and test it again.  
Check the child restraint system in your  
vehicle to be sure that it is compatible  
with the vehicle’s seat belt system.  
If a child restraint system is not anchored  
properly, the risk of a child being injured  
in a collision or a sudden stop greatly  
increases.  
Improper use of a child restraint system  
can increase the risk or severity of injury  
for both the child and other occupants in  
the vehicle.  
Always use an appropriate child restraint  
system. An improperly installed child  
restraint system could lead to serious  
injury or death in an accident.  
.
When the child restraint system is not in  
use, keep it secured with a seat belt to  
prevent it from being thrown around in  
case of a sudden stop or accident.  
UNIVERSAL CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR  
FRONT SEAT AND REAR SEATS  
When selecting any child restraint, keep the  
following points in mind:  
NISSAN recommends that infants and small  
children be seated in a child restraint system.  
You should choose a child restraint system that  
fits your vehicle and always follow the manu-  
facturer’s instructions for installation and use.  
In addition, there are many types of child  
restraint systems available for larger children  
that should be used for maximum protection.  
.
.
Choose a child restraint that complies with  
UN Regulation No. 44 (UN R44) or UN  
Regulation No.129 (UN R129).  
Place your child in the child restraint and  
check the various adjustments to be sure  
the child restraint is compatible with your  
child. Always follow all of the recommended  
procedures.  
.
.
.
.
Check the child restraint in your vehicle to  
be sure it is compatible with vehicle’s seat  
belt system.  
Refer to the tables later in this section for a  
list of the recommended fitment positions  
and the approved child restraints for your  
vehicle.  
CAUTION:  
Remember that a child restraint system left  
in a closed vehicle can become very hot.  
Check the seating surface and buckles before  
placing your child in a child restraint system.  
.
WARNING:  
In vehicles equipped with  
a side air bag  
system, do not let any infants or small  
children sit in the front passenger’s seat as  
the air bag may cause serious injury in case  
of deployment during a collision.  
.
.
NOTE:  
Child restraints approved to UN R44 or UN  
R129 are clearly marked with the categories  
such as Universal, Semi-universal or ISOFIX.

ISOFIX child restraints generally require the use  
of a top tether strap or other anti-rotation  
devices such as support legs. When installing  
ISOFIX child restraints, carefully read and follow  
the instructions in this manual and those  
supplied with the child restraints. (See “Child  
restraint installation using ISOFIX (for second  
row seat)” (P.1-25).)  
ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (for  
second row seat)  
CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE  
Your vehicle is designed to accommodate a  
child restraint system on the rear seat. When  
installing a child restraint system, carefully read  
and follow the instructions in this manual and  
those supplied with the child restraint system.  
SSS0840  
ISOFIX lower anchor location  
The ISOFIX anchors are located at the rear of  
the seat cushion near the seatback. A label is  
attached to the seatback to help you locate the  
ISOFIX anchors.  
SSS1110  
ISOFIX label location  
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor  
points that are used with ISOFIX child restraint  
systems.  
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 for  
adult seat belts, harnesses or for attach-  
ing 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 may  
be damaged by contact with items in the  
luggage area. Remove cargo from the  
vehicle or secure it. Your child could be  
seriously injured or killed in a collision if  
the top tether strap is damaged.  
SSS0644  
Anchor attachment  
ISOFIX child restraints include two rigid attach-  
ments that can be connected to two anchors  
located in the seat. With this system, you do not  
have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the  
child restraint. Check your child restraint for a  
label stating that it is compatible with the  
ISOFIX child restraints. This information may  
also be in the instructions provided by the child  
restraint manufacturer.

the child restraint not being properly  
secured. It could tip over or otherwise  
be unsecured and cause injury to the  
child in a sudden stop or collision.  
WARNING:  
.
.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint  
on the front passenger’s seat when the  
front passenger’s air bag is available.  
Supplemental front-impact air bags in-  
flate with great force. A rear-facing child  
restraint could be struck by the supple-  
mental front-impact air bags in an acci-  
dent and could seriously injure or kill your  
child.  
8. Check to make sure that the child restraint  
is properly secured prior to each use. If the  
child restraint is loose, repeat steps  
through 7.

Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions for the proper use of your child restraint.  
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child  
restraint on the front passenger’s seat using  
three-point type seat belt with automatic lock-  
ing mode:  
NISSAN recommends that  
a
child re-  
straint be installed on the rear seat.  
However, if you must install  
a
front-  
facing child restraint on the front pas-  
senger’s seat, move the passenger’s seat  
to the rearmost position.  
.
.
Never install a child restraint with a top  
tether strap on the front seat.  
Child restraints for infants must be used  
in the rear-facing direction and therefore  
must not be used on the front passen-  
ger’s seat when the front passenger’s air  
bag is available.
