PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-
STRAINTS
WARNING
. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and in-
stallation of child restraints could
result in serious injury or death of a
child or other passengers in a
sudden stop or collision:
— The child restraint must be used
and installed properly. Always
follow all of the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for
installation and use.
— Infants and children should
never be held on anyone’s lap.
Even the strongest adult cannot
resist the forces of a collision.
— Do not put a seat belt around
both a child and another pas-
senger.
— NISSAN recommends that all
child restraints be installed in
the rear seat (models with rear
seat). Studies show that chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat. If you must
install a forward-facing child
restraint in the front seat.
(
“Forward-facing child re-
straint installation using the
seat belts” page 1-26)
— Even with the NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System, never install a
rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat. An inflating air bag
could seriously injure or kill a
child. A rear-facing child re-
straint must only be used in the
rear seat (models with rear
seat).
— Be sure to purchase a child
restraint that will fit the child
and vehicle. Some child re-
straints may not fit properly in
your vehicle.
— Child restraint anchor points are
designed to withstand loads
from child restraints that are
properly fitted.
— Never use the anchor points for
adult seat belts or harnesses.
— A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat (models
with rear seat).
— Keep seatbacks as upright as
possible after fitting the child
restraint.
— Infants and children should al-
ways be placed in an appropri-
ate child restraint while in the
vehicle.
. When the child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with the LATCH
system (if so equipped) or a seat
belt. In a sudden stop or collision,
loose objects can injure occupants
or damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing a
child in the child restraint.
Models with rear seat are equipped with a
universal child restraint anchor system, referred
