● NISSAN recommends that child restraints be installed in the rear seat. However, if you must install a forward facing child restraint in the front passenger 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 section 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 injury to the child in a sudden stop or collision. Also, it can change the operation of the front passenger air bag. See "Front passenger air bag and status light" later in this section. ● When installing a child restraint system in the rear center position, both the center seat belt connector tongue and buckle tongue must be secured. See "Attaching the 3rd row center seat belt" earlier in this section. ● A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat except for the 2-passenger cargo van. ● Front-facing child restraints can be installed in all 3rd row bench seat positions. However, front-facing child restraints that require the use of a top tether strap can be installed in the center 3rd row position only. Do not install a child restraint requiring a top tether strap in an outboard position and attempt to angle the tether to the 3rd row center anchor. The instructions in this section apply to child restraint installation using the vehicle seat belts in the rear seats or the front passenger seat. WRS0256 CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS WARNING ● Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. Front air bags inflate with great force. A rear-facing child restraint could be struck by the front air bag in a crash and could seriously injure or kill your child.
