Safety ? seats, seat belts and supplemental -> Child restraints for Your Nissan X Trail SUV 2020

CHILD RESTRAINTS  
lead to serious injury or death in an  
accident.  
.
.
If the seat belt in the position where a  
child restraint is installed requires a lock-  
ing device and if it is not used, injuries  
could result from a child restraint tipping  
over during normal vehicle braking or  
cornering.  
If you install a child restraint system on  
the rear seat, move the rear seat to the  
rearmost position (for models with slid-  
ing seats).  
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINT  
USAGE  
.
.
Follow all of the child restraint manufac-  
turer’s instructions for installation and  
use. When purchasing a child restraint, be  
sure to select one which will fit your child  
and vehicle. It may not be possible to  
properly install some types of child re-  
straint 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.  
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.  
SSS0099  
.
.
Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-  
tioned to ensure full contact between  
child restraint and seatback.  
WARNING:  
NISSAN recommends that infants and small  
children be seated in a child restraint. You  
should choose a child restraint that fits your  
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions for installation and use. In addition,  
there are many types of child restraints avail-  
able for larger children that should be used for  
maximum protection.  
After attaching a child restraint, test it  
before you place the child in it. Push it  
from side to side and tug it forward to  
make sure that it is held securely in place.  
The child restraint 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.  
When the child restraint is not in use,  
keep it secured with the ISOFIX child  
restraint system or a seat belt to prevent  
it from being thrown around in case of a  
sudden stop or accident.  
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.  
.
.
Infants and small children should always  
be placed in an appropriate child re-  
straint while riding in the vehicle. Failure  
to use  
a child restraint 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 child re-  
straints be installed in the rear seat.  
According to accident statistics, children  
are safer when properly restrained in the  
rear seat than in the front seat.  
Improper use or improper installation of  
a child restraint can increase the risk or  
severity of injury for both the child and  
other occupants of the vehicle and can

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (for  
second row seats)  
ISOFIX lower anchor point locations  
SSS0644  
The ISOFIX anchor points are provided to install  
child restraints in the second row outboard  
seating positions only. Do not attempt to  
install a child restraint in the center seating  
position using the ISOFIX anchors.  
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.  
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” (P.1-21).)

CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE (for  
second row seats)  
Anchorage location  
Your vehicle is designed to accommodate a  
child restraint system on the second row seat.  
When installing a child restraint system, care-  
fully read and follow the instructions in this  
manual and those supplied with the child  
restraint system.  
WARNING:  
JVR0448X  
.
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.  
Type B (example)  
Anchorages are located as illustrated.  
Position the top tether strap over the top of the  
seatback and secure it to the tether anchorage  
that provides the straightest installation. Tight-  
en the tether strap according to the manufac-  
turer’s instruction to remove any slack.  
CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING  
ISOFIX  
.
The child restraint top tether strap may  
be damaged by contact with the tonneau  
cover (if equipped) or items in the lug-  
gage area. Remove the tonneau cover  
from the vehicle or secure it and any  
luggage. Your child could be seriously  
injured or killed in a collision if the top  
tether strap is damaged.  
WARNING:  
.
Attach ISOFIX child restraints only at the  
specified locations. For the ISOFIX lower  
anchor locations, see “ISOFIX child re-  
straint system (for second row seats)”  
(P.1-20). If a child restraint is not secured  
properly, your child could be seriously  
injured or killed in an accident.  
JVR0447X  
Type A  
.
.
Do not install child restraints that require  
the use of a top tether strap to seating  
positions that do not have a top tether  
anchor.  
Do not secure a child restraint in the  
center rear seating position using the  
ISOFIX lower anchors. The child restraint  
will not be secured properly.
