INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAP

First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH
lower anchors or the seat belt, as applicable.

1. If necessary, raise or remove the head

restraint/headrest to position the top tether
strap over the top of the seatback. If the
head restraint/headrest is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall the
head restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint

is

removed.

See

“Head

restraints/headrests” in this section
for head restraint/headrest adjust-
ment, removal and installation infor-
mation.

2. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor

point on the seat directly behind the child
restraint.

3. Refer to the appropriate child restraint in-

stallation procedure steps in this section
before tightening the tether strap.

If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap, consult your NISSAN
dealer for details.

WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used to at-
tach adult seat belts, or other items or
equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint anchorages.
The child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged anchorage,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a 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 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.
