REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT

INSTALLATION USING LATCH

Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in “Child

safety” and “Child restraints” in this section be-

fore installing a child restraint.

•

Child restraint anchorages are de-

signed to withstand only those loads

imposed by correctly fitted child re-

straints. Under no circumstances are

they to be used to attach adult seat

belts, or other items or equipment to

the vehicle. Doing so could damage

the child restraint anchorages. The

child restraint will not be properly in-

stalled using the damaged anchorage,

and a child could be seriously injured

or killed in a collision.

NISSAN does not recommend the use of the

lower anchors if the combined weight of the child

and the child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If

the combined weight of the child and the child

restraint is greater than 65 lbs, (29.5 kg) use the

vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to

install the child restraint. Be sure to follow the

child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for in-

stallation.

Top tether anchor point locations:

Anchor points are located on the back side of the

seatbacks.

Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child

restraint using the LATCH system

The child restraint top tether strap must be used

when installing child restraints with the LATCH

lower anchor attachments or seat belts.

1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always

follow the child restraint manufacturer’s

instructions.

If you have any questions when installing a

top tether strap, consult your NISSAN cer-

tified LEAF dealer for details.

Rear-facing (webbing-mounted) — step 2

2. Secure the child restraint anchor attachments

to the LATCH lower anchors. Check to make

sure that the LATCH attachment is properly

attached to the lower anchors.

Rear-facing (rigid-mounted) — step 2

3. For child restraints that are equipped with

webbing-mounted attachments, remove any

additional slack from the anchor attachments.

Press downward and rearward firmly in the

center of the child restraint with your hand to

compress the vehicle seat cushion and seat-

back while tightening the webbing of the an-

chor attachments.

Rear-facing — step 3

4. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-

fore you place the child in it. Push it from side

to side while holding the seat near the LATCH

attachment path. The child restraint should

not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) from side

to side. Try to tug it forward and check to see

if the LATCH attachment holds the restraint in

place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten the

LATCH attachment as necessary, or put the

restraint on another seat and test it again. You

may need to try a different child restraint. Not

all child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
