4.6.6.2. Installation on front passenger’s seat

imageimage
  • Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat without ensuring that the front passenger air bag is deactivated. Depending on vehicle specification, the vehicle may be equipped with an automatic front-passenger front air bag deactivation system or a manual front-passenger front air bag deactivation system. (For details see

    and . If this system is fitted, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicatorimage 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.
  • 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.

Front-facing

    To prevent slack in the lap belt, secure the shoulder belt in place with a locking clip (A). Use a locking clip attached to the child restraint system, or one which is equivalent in dimensions and strength.

    Be sure to follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions for belt routing.

  5. Slide the seat forwards so that the seat belt fully tightens the child restraint system and the child restraint reaches the vehicle dashboard.

    If the child restraint is still not securely held in place, do not use it. Please check the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions for installation and use. Seek advice from a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for correct child restraint installation.
