NISSAN recommends that child re-

straints be installed in the rear seat.

However, if you must install a front-

facing child restraint in the front pas-

senger seat, move the passenger seat

to the rearmost position. Also, be sure

the front passenger air bag status light

is illuminated to indicate the passenger

air bag is OFF. See “Front passenger air

bag and status light” later in this sec-

tion for details.

The three-point seat belt in your vehicle

is equipped with an Automatic Locking

Retractor (ALR) which 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

otherwise be unsecured and cause in-

jury to the child in a sudden stop or

collision. Also, it can change the opera-

tion of the front passenger air bag. See

“Front passenger air bag and status

light” later in this section.

A child restraint with a top tether strap

should not be used in the front passen-

ger seat.

The instructions in this section apply to child

restraint installation using the vehicle seat belts in

the rear seat or the front passenger seat.

Front-facing

Follow these steps to install a front-facing child

restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear

seats or in the front passenger seat:

1. If you must install a child restraint in

the front seat, it should be placed in a
front-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.
