PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
. Infants and small children should
always be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while riding in the
vehicle. Failure to use a child re-
straint 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.
. Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front
seat. An inflating front air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. A
rear-facing child restraint must only
be used in the rear seat.
. NISSAN recommends that the child
restraint be installed in the rear
seat. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat. If you must install a
front facing child restraint in the
front seat. (

. Improper use or improper installa-
tion of a child restraint can increase
the risk or severity of injury for both
the child and other occupants of the
vehicle and can lead to serious
injury or death in an accident.
. Follow all of the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation 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
restraints in your vehicle.
. If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden
stop greatly increases.
. Child restraint anchor points are
designed to withstand only those
