PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
•
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use and installa-
tion 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 passenger.
–
NISSAN recommends that all child
restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Studies show that children 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, refer
to “Forward-facing child restraint
installation using the seat belts” in
this section.
–
Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front
seat. An inflating air bag could seri-
ously injure or kill a child. A rear-
facing child restraint must only be
used in the rear seat.
–
Be sure to purchase a child restraint
that will fit the child and vehicle.
Some child restraints may not fit
properly in your vehicle.
–
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach 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 in-
stalled using the damaged anchor-
age, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
–
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.
–
Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-
sible after fitting the child restraint.
–
Infants and children should always
be placed in an appropriate child
restraint while in the vehicle.
•
When the child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the LATCH system
or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose objects can injure oc-
cupants or damage the vehicle.
