c Failure to use the retractor’s locking mode will result in the child restraint not being properly secured. The seat could tip over or otherwise be unse- cured and cause injury to the child in a sudden stop or collision.

Installation on front passenger seat

WARNING

c Never install a rear-facing child re- straint in the front passenger seat. Supplemental air bags inflate with great force. A rear-facing child re- straint could be struck by the supple- mental air bag in a crash and could seriously injure or kill your child.

c NISSAN recommends that child re- straints be installed in the rear seat. However, if you install a forward-

ARS1135

facing child restraint in the front pas- senger seat, move the passenger seat to the rearmost position.

c A child restraint with a top strap should not be used in the front pas- senger seat.

c The three-point belt in your vehicle is equipped with an automatic lock- ing mode retractor which must be used when installing a child re- straint.

If you must install a child restraint in the front seat, follow these steps: 1. Position the child restraint on the front passenger seat. It should be placed in a forward-facing direction only. Move the seat to the rearmost position. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions. Child restraints for infants must be used in the rear-facing direc- tion and therefore must not be used in the front seat.

2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child restraint and insert it into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to follow the child restraint manu- facturer’s instructions for belt routing.

3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is fully extended. At this time, the belt retractor is in the automatic locking mode (child restraint mode). It reverts back to emergency locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.

At least one year old

c SEATED HEIGHT:

Top of child’s shoulders must be below the shoulder harness openings of the integrated child seat.

Children smaller than these requirements should be restrained in an appropriate sepa- rate child restraint. Children larger than these requirements should also be restrained in an appropriate separate child restraint or in the appropriate vehicle seat belt system. Refer to ‘‘Child Restraints’’ and ‘‘Precautions On Seat Belt Usage’’ in this section for important child safety information.

INTEGRATED CHILD SAFETY SEATS (if so equipped)

WARNING

c Failure to follow the instructions for the use of these integrated child safety seats can result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash, causing the injury or death of your child.

c Improper use of a child restraint can increase the risk or severity of injury for both the child and other occu- pants of the vehicle.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces require that infants and small children be restrained in approved child restraints at all times while the vehicle is being oper- ated. The optional second row bench seat con- tains two integrated child safety seats. These seats are designed for use only by children who weigh between 22 and 60
pounds (10-27 kg) and whose height is 45
inches (1145 mm) or less and who are capable of sitting upright alone.

c Before placing the child in the inte- grated child safety seat, confirm that the bench seatback is securely locked and the seatback release le- ver is in full down position.

c Always make sure the integrated child safety seat belts are properly positioned on your child. The child should sit straight up and back against the bench seat. The shoulder harnesses should be centered over the shoulders and fastened with the chest clip. The belt buckle should be between the legs and latched to the shoulder belt tongue. Snugly adjust the belts around your child. Failure to properly position the child can increase the risk or severity of injury to the child in an accident.

Using the Integrated Child Safety Seats

WARNING:

c Never use the vehicle seat belts to restrain a child in an integrated child

safety seat. Use only the shoulder- harness and belt buckle which is part of the integrated child safety seat. Never use the integrated child safety seat as a booster cushion with the vehicle seat belts.

WARNING

The automatic locking mode (child re- straint mode) must be reactivated each time you place a child in the integrated child safety seats.

In addition to the automatic locking retrac- tors, the integrated child safety seat shoul- der harnesses are equipped with emer- gency locking retractors. The automatic locking mode is best to use, especially for children who need help staying properly positioned in the seat and its harnesses (for example, children who are younger and smaller), because the belts are always locked. In the emergency locking mode, the shoulder belts only lock in a sudden stop or accident, allowing a child more freedom of movement. Use the emergency locking mode only if you judge your child able to remain properly positioned in the integrated child safety seat. Removing the child 1. Release the chest clip. 2. Release the left and right shoulder har-

3. Move the left and right shoulder har- nesses aside and assist the child from the integrated child safety seat.

Storing the Integrated Child Safety Seat 1. Be sure the shoulder harnesses are fully retracted and resting inside the inte- grated child safety seat recess. It is not necessary to reconnect the shoulder har- nesses and belt buckle prior to storing the integrated child safety seat.

2. While holding onto, but not pulling, the cushion release strap, rotate the cushion upward until it fits flush with the second row seat back cushion and locks into position.

3. Be sure the integrated child safety seat is locked in the stowed position by grasping the safety seat cushion and attempting to lower it without pulling the cushion re- lease strap. If the integrated child safety seat is not locked in the stowed position, repeat steps one through three.

c Periodically inspect the belt and metal components of the integrated child safety seats, such as the buckles, tongues, shoulder harness webbings, and latching indicators. Periodically check the func- tion of the integrated child safety seat shoulder harness retractor functions. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts, frays, malfunctions or other damage to the belt webbings or metal parts are found, see an authorized NISSAN dealer for repairs.

Inspection after an accident If your vehicle was involved in an accident, before using the integrated child safety seats, all related components should be inspected for damage by an authorized NIS- SAN dealer. Damage to the integrated child safety seat or related components must be repaired.

Integrated Child Safety Seat main- tenance c To clean the shoulder harnesses and belt buckle webbing, apply a mild soap solu- tion or any solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then brush the webbing, wipe it with a cloth and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not allow the shoulder harnesses to retract until they are completely dry.

c The integrated child safety seats cloth removable pads may be cleaned with mild soap and water. The cloth remov- able pads are attached to the seats with fastener strips, and may be easily re- moved. The pads are machine washable. Fo best results, machine wash in cold water in the gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not use chlorine bleach, and do not dry clean.

CAUTION

Failure to follow the washing instruc- tions provided on the cloth removable pads may result in premature wear or damage.

SEATS/FLOOR MATS

SEATING ARRANGEMENTS Many different arrangements for passenger seating or cargo hauling are available as you will see in the following illustrations. The second row seats may be removed and the third row seat may be moved forward to the second row seating position. The second and third row seats have an optional fold- down table-top feature. This offers a variety of uses for the vehicle when moving or stopped. The illustrations shown reflect the different seating positions available. Before you begin to arrange the seats in your vehicle, read all of the cautions and warnings in this chapter, including the following section on the removable floor mats. Also observe any labels that are in the vehicle.

WARNING

c While the vehicle is in motion, pas- sengers should always be seated in a forward facing direction in a seat which is properly secured and ad- justed. Seat belts should always be used. Sitting without a seat belt in a seat that is not properly secured in one of the locations shown in this chapter, or in a place without a seat and seat belt can result in personal injury in a sudden stop or collision. c Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an acci- dent, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious inju- ries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

c For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat and adjust the seat belt properly.

c It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these ar- eas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

c Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. c Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt prop- erly.

c Do not place hard items such as coffee mugs or drinking glasses on the tabletop seats when the vehicle is moving. Any item can become a projectile inside a vehicle involved in a collision. To help prevent personal injury, never leave loose items on the fold-down tabletop seats when the vehicle is moving.

the SECURITY indicator light comes on. The SECURITY light glows for about 30 seconds and then begins to flash once every three seconds. The system is now activated. If, during this 30-second time period, the door is unlocked by the key or the multi-remote controller, or the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON, the system will not activate. If the key is turned slowly when locking the door, the system may not activate. Furthermore, if the key is turned exces- sively to the unlock position, the system may be deactivated when the key is re- moved. If the indicator light fails to glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door once and lock it again.

Even when the driver and/or passengers are in the vehicle, the system will acti- vate with all doors, hood and trunk lid locked and ignition key off. Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON to turn the system off. Theft warning system operation The theft warning system emits the follow- ing alarm: c The headlights and tail lights flash and the horn sounds intermittently. In addi- tion, the starter motor does not operate. c The alarm automatically turns off after two to three minutes. However, the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm can be shut off by unlocking a door with the key or by pressing the button on the multi- remote controller.

The alarm is activated when: c a door is unlocked or opened without using the key or the multi-remote control- ler. This includes unlocking the doors with the inside door lock switch.
