Get Safety?Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system -> LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) System Guide for Nissan Micra 4 Door Fourth Generation (2010-2016)

● If the combined weight of the child and child

restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), you

may use either the LATCH anchors or the

seat belt to install the child restraint (not both

at the same time).

● If the combined weight of the child and child

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

the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-

chors) to install the child restraint.

● Be sure to follow the child restraint manufac-

turer’s instructions for installation.

All Canadian provinces or territories re-

quire that infants and small children be

restrained in an approved child restraint at

all times while the vehicle is being oper-

ated. Canadian law requires the top tether

strap on forward-facing child restraints be

secured to the designated anchor point on

the vehicle.

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers

for CHildren) SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor

points that are used with the LATCH system

compatible child restraints. This system may also

be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compat-

ible system. With this system, you do not have to

use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child re-

straint unless the combined weight of the child

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

combined weight of the child and child restraint is

greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) use the vehicles

seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the

child restraint. Be sure to follow the child restraint

manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

The LATCH anchor points are provided to install

child restraints in the rear outboard seating posi-

tions only. Do not attempt to install a child re-

straint in the center position using the LATCH

anchors.

– Inspect the lower anchors by insert-

ing your fingers into the lower anchor

area. Feel to make sure there are no

obstructions over the anchors such

as seat belt webbing or seat cushion

material. The child restraint will not

be secured properly if the lower an-

chors are obstructed.

– 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

installed using the damaged anchor-

age, and a child could be seriously

injured or killed in a collision.

The LATCH lower anchors are located at the rear

of the seat cushion near the seatback. A label is

attached to the seatback to help you locate the

LATCH lower anchors.

Installing child restraint LATCH lower

anchor attachments

LATCH compatible child restraints include two

rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can

be connected to two anchors located at certain

seating positions in your vehicle. With this sys-

tem, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to

secure the child restraint. Check your child re-

straint for a label stating that it is compatible with

LATCH. This information may also be in the in-

structions provided by the child restraint manu-

facturer.
