￿Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear- facing child restraint in the front seat. An inflating supplemental air bag could seriously injure or kill your child.

￿Never let an infant who requires the use of a rear facing child restraint ride in this vehicle.

￿Roadster models do not have an an- chor for a top tether strap required for most front facing child restraints.

Never let children who require the use of a front facing child restraint ride in Roadster models.

￿An improperly installed child re- straint could lead to serious injury or death in an accident.

CAUTION

For Roadster models, when installing a booster seat, be sure to turn off the automatic passenger seatback tilt func- tion with the seatback tilt cancel switch (located on the back of the passenger seatback). Otherwise, the booster seat may be damaged. See “Tilting and re- clining passenger’s seat from driver’s seat” earlier in this section for detailed information.

In general, child restraints are designed to be installed with the lap portion of a lap/shoulder seat belt.

Child restraints for children of various sizes are offered by several manufacturers. When select-

ing any child restraint, keep the following points in mind:

￿choose only a restraint with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

￿check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.

￿if the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint and check the various adjustments to be sure the child restraint is compatible with your child. Choose a child restraint that is de- signed for your child’s height and weight. Always follow all recommended procedures.

The passenger seat is not suitable for use with a rear facing child restraint for infants. Therefore, infants should not be transported in this vehicle.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces re- quire that infants and small children be restrained in approved child restraints at all times while the vehicle is being oper- ated.
