Get Safety ? Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system -> TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RESTRAINT Guide for Nissan X Trail SUV First Generation (2000-2006)

the seating positions equipped with LATCH

system anchors which can be used to secure the

child restraint.

The LATCH system 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 system anchors.

Some child restraints may also require the use of

a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap child

restraint” later in this section for installation

instructions.

When installing a child restraint, carefully read

and follow the instructions in this manual and

those supplied with the child restraint.

When you install a LATCH system compatible

child restraint to the lower anchor attachments,

follow these steps.

WARNING

Inspect the lower anchors by inserting

your fingers into the lower anchor area

and feeling to make sure there are no

obstructions over the LATCH system an-

chors, such as seat belt webbing or seat

cushion material. If a seat belt buckle

hinders installation of the LATCH

system, remove the buckle from the

buckle fixing band of the seatback.

The child restraint will not be secured

properly if the LATCH system anchors

are obstructed.

1. To install the LATCH system compat-

ible child restraint, insert the child

restraint LATCH system anchor at-

tachments into the anchor points on

the rear. If the child restraint is

equipped with a top tether, see “Top

tether strap child restraint” later in

this section for installation instruc-

tions.

2. After attaching the child restraint and

before placing the child in it, use

force to tilt the child restraint from

side to side and tug it forward to

make sure that the child restraint is

securely held in place. It should not

move more than 25 mm (1 inch).

3. Check to make sure that the child

restraint is properly secured prior to

each use.

쐌 After removing a rear seat head re-

straint for top tether installation,

store it securely to prevent it from

causing injury to passengers or dam-

age to the vehicle in case of sudden

braking or an accident. Always re-

place it and adjust properly when top

tether is no longer in use.

쐌 The top tether strap may be damaged

by contact with the tonneau cover (if

so equipped) or items in the cargo

area. Remove the tonneau cover from

the vehicle or secure it and any cargo.

Your child could be seriously injured

or killed in a collision if the top tether

strap is damaged.

If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it

must be secured to the anchor point provided

behind its position.

First, remove the head restraint from the seat-

back and adjust the seatback so that it is as

upright as possible. Then secure the child re-

straint with the rear seat belt or the LATCH

system (outboard positions), as applicable. Re-

move the anchor cover from the anchor point as

illustrated. Keep the removed cover in a secure

place to prevent loss or damage.

Remove the head restraint from the seatback.

Store it in a secure place. Position the top tether

strap over the top of the seatback and secure it

to the tether anchor bracket that provides the

straightest installation. Tighten the tether strap

according to the manufacturer’s instruction to

remove any slack.

For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint

installation instructions in this section and the

child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

Anchor point locations

Anchor points are located as illustrated.

If you have any questions when installing a

top strap child restraint on the rear seat,

consult your NISSAN dealer for details.
