Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and/or pre-tensioner seat belt
may not function properly. It must be checked and
repaired.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you in-
form the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this manual,
child safety information is available from many other
sources, including doctors, teachers, government
traffic safety offices, and community organisations.
Every child is different, so be sure to learn the best
way to transport your child.
There are two basic types of child restraint system:
•
Rear-facing child restraints
•
Front-facing child restraints
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.
Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less than
9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints.
Front-facing child restraints are available for chil-
dren who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and
are at least 1 year old.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protection. The
vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly.
The shoulder belt may come too close to the
face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over their
small hip bones. In an accident, an improperly fit-
ting seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury.
Always use appropriate child restraints.
A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle by
using either the ISOFIX child restraint system or
with the vehicle seat belt, see “Child restraints” later
in this section for more information.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens and chil-
dren be restrained in the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the front
seat.
This is especially important because your vehicle
has a supplemental restraint system (air bag sys-
tem) for the front passenger. (See “Supplemen-
tal Restraint System (SRS)” later in this section.)
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed in
a rear-facing child restraint. You should choose a
child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and
use.
SMALL CHILDREN
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at least
9 kg can be placed in a front-facing child restraint.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for mini-
mum and maximum weight and height recommen-
dations. You should choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
LARGER CHILDREN
Children who are too large for a child restraint sys-
tem should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts that are provided. If the child’s seating position
has a shoulder belt that fits close to the face or
neck, the use of a booster seat (commercially avail-
able) may help overcome this. The booster seat
should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is
