7. Tighten the tether strap according to the

manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.

8. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-

fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the seat belt 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 belt holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the seat belt as
necessary, or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try a differ-
ent child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles.

9. Check to make sure the child restraint is prop-

erly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt
is not locked, repeat steps 2 through 8.

10. If the child restraint is installed on the front

passenger seat, push the power switch to
the ON position. The front passenger air bag
status light

should illuminate. If this

light does not illuminate, see “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light”. Move the
child restraint to another seating posi-
tion
. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode (child re-
straint mode) is canceled.
