Nissan Versa (2019 year). Instruction - part 3

LATCH lower anchor location

The LATCH lower anchors are located as
shown. A label is attached to the seatback
to help you locate the LATCH lower an-
chors.

Installing child restraint LATCH
lower anchor attachments

LATCH compatible child restraints include
two rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments that can be connected to two an-
chors located at certain seating positions
in your vehicle. 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
LATCH. This information may also be in the
instructions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer.

When installing a child restraint, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child
restraint.

WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint will not be properly installed us-
ing the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.

REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING LATCH

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

Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined 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 an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the child restraint 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 manu-
facturer’s instructions.

2. Secure the child restraint anchor at-

tachments to the LATCH lower an-
chors. Check to make sure the LATCH
attachment is properly attached to the
lower anchors.

3. For child restraints that are equipped

with webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the
anchor attachments. Press downward
and rearward firmly in the center of the
child restraint with your hand to com-
press the vehicle seat cushion and
seatback while tightening the webbing
of the anchor attachments.

4. After attaching the child restraint, test

it before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the LATCH attachment
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 attachment
holds the restraint in place. If the re-
straint 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 ve-
hicles.

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.

WARNING

FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS

WARNING

The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic 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 pas-
senger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag
and status light” in this section.

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

Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the rear seats or in the front passen-
ger 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,
therefore, must not be used in the
front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat.

Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions.

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

If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the cor-
rect 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 ad-
ditional information, refer to “Head
restraints/headrests” in this section for
head restraint/headrest adjustment,
removal and installation information.

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.

WARNING

BOOSTER SEATS

For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined 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 col-
lision 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 in-

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

1-38

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Low back booster seat

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 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.

∙ Check the booster seat in your vehicle

to be sure it is compatible with the vehi-
cle’s seat and seat belt system.

∙ Make sure the child’s head will be prop-

erly 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.
