Nissan ARIYA 2023 Owners Manual
5.4.6.2. Installation on front passenger's seat
Never install a rear-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat without ensuring that the front passenger air bag is deactivated. The vehicle is equipped with an automatic front-passenger front air bag deactivation system. The <PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF> indicator light
, located on the roof console, must be lit. In a frontal collision, supplemental front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could seriously injure or kill your child.Never install a child restraint with a top tether strap on the front seat.
NISSAN recommends that a child restraint be installed on the rear seat. However, if you must install a child restraint on the front passenger's seat, move the passenger's seat to the rearmost position.
Child restraints for infants must be used in the rear-facing direction and therefore must not be used on the front passenger's seat when the front passenger's air bag has not been deactivated.
Failure to use the seat belts will result in the child restraint not being properly secured. It could tip over or otherwise be unsecured and cause injury to the child in a sudden stop or collision.
