Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
4.4.6.2. 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 is available.
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.
Front-facing
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the proper use of your child restraint. Follow these steps to install a front-facing child restraint on the front passenger’s seat using a three-point type seat belt.
If the child restraint is installed on the front passenger seat, place the power switch in the “ON” position. The front passenger air bag status light <PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF>, located on the roof console, should illuminate. If this light is not illuminated, see
. Move the child restraint to another seating position. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Move the seat to the rearmost position (1).
Adjust or remove the head restraint (2) to obtain the correct child restraint fit.
Adjust the seat lifter to the uppermost position.
Position the child restraint in the seat.
Always follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions for installation and use.
Route the seat belt tongue through the child restraint and insert it into the buckle (3) until you hear and feel the latch engage.
To prevent slack in the seat belt webbing, it is necessary to secure the seat belt in place with locking devices attached to the child restraint.
Remove any additional slack from the seat belt; press downward (4) and rearward (5) firmly in the centre of the child restraint with your knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while pulling up on the seat belt.
Test the child restraint before you place the child in it (6). Push the child restraint from side to side and tug it forward to make sure that it is held securely in place.
Check to make sure that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the child restraint is loose, repeat steps 6 through 8.
If the child restraint is still loose, 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.
Place the power switch in the ON position. Check the front passenger air bag status light located on the roof console. The front passenger air bag status light
(OFF) should illuminate.
