Top tether anchor

WARNING

Properly secure cargo and do not
allow it to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top
tether anchor. Cargo that is not
properly secured or cargo that con-
tacts the top tether strap may da-
mage the top tether strap during a

collision. If the parcel shelf contacts
the top tether strap when it is at-
tached to the top tether anchor,
remove the parcel shelf from the
vehicle or secure it on the cargo floor
below its attachment location. If the
parcel shelf is not removed, it may
damage the top tether strap during a
collision. Your child could be ser-
iously injured or killed in a collision
if the child restraint top tether strap
is damaged.

Top tether anchor point locations

WARNING

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

collision.

Anchor points are located on the back
side of the seatbacks.
If a child restraint has a top tether strap, it
must be used when installing with the
LATCH lower anchor attachments or seat
belts.
If you have any questions when instal-
ling a top tether strap child restraint on
the rear seat, it is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING LATCH

Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing 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 re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the LATCH system:
1.

Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.

it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the LATCH attach-
ment 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 LATCH attach-
ment holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
LATCH attachment as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint or try installing
by using the vehicle seat belt (if
applicable). Not all child restraints fit

in all types of vehicles.

5. Check to make sure the child restraint

is properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat
steps 1 through 4.

INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS

WARNING

The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child re-
straint. 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.

BOOSTER SEATS

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.

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 or Canadian 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.

LRS0453

LRS0455

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