CHILD RESTRAINTS  
					.
					Child restraint systems specially de-  
					signed for infants and small children are  
					available from several manufacturers.  
					When selecting any child restraint sys-  
					tems, place your child in the child re-  
					straint system and check the various  
					adjustments to be sure that the child  
					restraint system is compatible with your  
					child. Always follow the manufacturer’s  
					instructions for installation and use.

					PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS  
					USAGE  
					.
					.
					NISSAN recommends that the child re-  
					straint system be installed in the rear  
					seat. According to accident statistics,  
					children are safer when properly re-  
					strained in the rear seat rather than in  
					the front seat.  
					Follow all of the child restraint system  
					manufacturer’s instructions for installa-  
					tion and use. When purchasing a child  
					restraint system, be sure to select one  
					which will fit your child and vehicle. It  
					may not be possible to properly install  
					some types of child restraint systems in  
					your vehicle.  
					The direction of the child restraint, either  
					front-facing or rear-facing, depends on  
					the type of the child restraint and the size  
					of the child. Refer to the child restraint  
					manufacturer’s instructions for details.  
					For a front-facing child restraint system,  
					check to make sure the shoulder belt  
					does not fit close to child’s face or neck. If  
					it does, put the shoulder belt behind the  
					child restraint system. If you must install  
					a front-facing child restraint system in  
					the front seat, see “Installation on front  
					passenger’s seat - with automatic locking  
					mode (for Mexico)” (P.1-33).

					the storage of the seat cushion to avoid  
					dropping it under the seat cushion.

					Infants and children need special protec-  
					tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit  
					them properly. The shoulder belt may  
					come too close to the face or neck. The  
					lap belt may not fit over their small hip  
					bones. In an accident, an improperly  
					fitting seat belt could cause serious or  
					fatal injury.  
					Infants and small children should always  
					be placed in an appropriate child re-  
					straint system while riding in the vehicle.  
					Failure to use a child restraint system can  
					result in serious injury or death.
