•
Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem in the front seat. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child. A rear-facing child restraint
system must only be used in the rear seat.
•
Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned to
fit a child restraint system, but as upright as
possible.
•
If the seat belt in the position where a child
restraint system is installed requires a locking
clip and if it is not used, injuries could result
from a child restraint system tipping over dur-
ing normal vehicle braking or cornering.
•
After attaching a child restraint system, test it
before you place the child in it. Tilt it from side
to side. Try to tug it forward and check if it is
held securely in place. The child restraint sys-
tem should not move more than 25 mm (1 in).
If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt
as necessary, or install the restraint in another
seat and test it again.
•
Check the child restraint system in your ve-
hicle to be sure that it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat belt system.
•
If a child restraint system is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in a
collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.
•
Improper use of a child restraint system can
increase the risk or severity of injury for both
the child and other occupants in the vehicle.
•
Always use an appropriate child restraint sys-
tem. An improperly installed child restraint
system could lead to serious injury or death in
an accident.
•
When the child restraint system is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it
from being thrown around in case of a sudden
stop or accident.
NISSAN recommends that infants and small chil-
dren be seated in a child restraint system. You
should choose a child restraint system that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions for installation and use. In addition, there
are many types of child restraint systems available
for larger children that should be used for maximum
protection.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint system left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the
seating surface and buckles before placing your
child in a child restraint system.
