PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-

STRAINTS

GUID-6A8C536A-DB98-4A79-B638-8ED4F6FB91BB

WARNING

.

CrossCabriolet

models

are

not

equipped with top tethers. A child

restraint

system

requiring

a

top

tether strap cannot be properly in-

stalled and should not be used in

your vehicle.

.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use and in-

stallation 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 pas-

senger.

— 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, see

“Forward-facing

child

restraint

installation using the seat belts”

later 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 seriously injure or kill a

child.

A

rear-facing

child

re-

straint must only be used in the

rear seat.

— Be

sure

to

purchase

a

child

restraint that will fit the child

and

vehicle.

Some

child

re-

straints may not fit properly in

your vehicle.

— Child restraint anchor points are

designed

to

withstand

loads

from

child

restraints

that

are

properly fitted.

— 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

possible after fitting the child

restraint.

— Infants and children should al-

ways be placed in an appropri-

ate 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

occupants

or

damage

the

vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can

become

very

hot.

Check

the

seating

surface and buckles before placing a

child in the child restraint.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
