come too close to the face or neck. The

lap belt may not fit over their small hip

bones. In an accident, an improperly

fitting seat belt could cause serious or

fatal injury. Always use appropriate

child restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require the use of approved child

restraints for infants and small children. See

“CHILD RESTRAINTS” later in this section.

A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle

by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor and

Tethers for CHildren) system or with the vehicle

seat belt. See “CHILD RESTRAINTS” later in

this section for more information.

NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens

and children be restrained in the rear seat.

Studies show that children are safer when

properly restrained in the rear seat than in

the front seat.

This is especially important because your

vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-

tem (Air bag system) for the front passen-

ger. See “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT

SYSTEM” later in this section.

INFANTS

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed

in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN recom-

mends that infants be placed in child restraints

that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards. 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 one year old and weigh at

least 20 lbs (9 kg) can be placed in a forward-

facing child restraint. Refer to the manufacturer’s

instructions for minimum and maximum weight

and height recommendations. NISSAN recom-

mends that small children be placed in child

restraints that comply with Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards. You should choose a

child restraint that fits your vehicle and always

follow the manufacturer’s instructions for instal-

lation and use.

LARGER CHILDREN

Children who are too large for child restraints

should be seated and restrained by the seat

belts which are provided. The seat belt may not

fit properly if the child is less than 4 ft 9 in (142.5

cm) tall and weighs between 40 lbs (18 kg) and

80 lbs (36 kg). A booster seat should be used to

obtain proper seat belt fit.

NISSAN recommends that a child be placed in a

commercially availableboosterseatifthe

shoulder belt fits close to the face or neck or if

the lap portion of the seat belt goes across the

abdomen. The booster seat should raise the

child so that the shoulder belt is properly

positioned across the top, middle portion of

the shoulder and the lap belt is low on the hips.

A booster seat can only be used in seating

positions that have a three-point type seat belt.

The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and

have a label certifying that it complies with

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt

is no longer on or near the face and neck, use

the shoulder belt without the booster seat.

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on any

seat and do not allow a child in the

cargo area. The child could be seriously

injured or killed in a sudden stop or

collision.
