LATCH system lower anchor locations - bench seat

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor points that are used with LATCH system compatible child restraints. This system may also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible system. With this system, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint 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 vehicle’s 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 lower anchor points are provided to install child restraints in the following positions only:

2nd row bench seat – outboard seating positions

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use and installation of child restraints could result in serious injury or death of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop or collision:

Attach LATCH system compatible child restraints only at the locations shown in the illustration.
Do not secure a child restraint in the 2nd row center position using the LATCH system anchors. The child restraint will not be secured properly.
Inspect the lower anchors by inserting 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 anchors are obstructed.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
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 anchorages, and a child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision.

Top tether anchor point locations

Anchor points are located in the following locations:

2nd row bench on the bottom of the seatback in the seating positions shown.
Roof above the rear cargo area.
The top tether anchor located in the roof is only to be used for a child restraint located in the center position of the 2nd row.

A child restraint with a top tether strap should only be placed in the center position of the 2nd row if there are no 3rd row occupants.

Rearward adjustment of the 2nd row bench seat will result in loosening of the top tether strap for the center position of the 2nd row. Avoid moving the 2nd row bench seat or retighten the top tether strap following rearward movement of the 2nd row bench seat.

If you have any questions when installing a top tether strap, consult your NISSAN dealer for details.
