Nissan Frontier (2024 year). Manual in english

WARNING

•

After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down
to make sure it is securely fixed in
position.

•

The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
best for you. Failure to do so may re-
duce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

If, because of body size or driving position, it
is not possible to properly fit the lap/
shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender
that is compatible with the installed seat
belts is available for purchase. The ex-
tender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm)
of length and may be used for either the
driver or front passenger seating position.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for assistance with purchasing an
extender if an extender is required.

WARNING

•

Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,
made by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, should be used with NISSAN
seat belts.

•

Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use
an extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal injury
in the event of an accident.

•

Never use seat belt extenders to in-
stall child restraints. If the child re-
straint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision or a sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

•

To clean the seat belt webbing,

apply a

mild soap solution or any solution rec-
ommended for cleaning upholstery or
carpet. Then wipe with a cloth and allow
the seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not
allow the seat belts to retract until they
are completely dry.

•

If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt
guide of the seat belt anchors,

the seat

belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoul-
der belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

•

Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components,

such

as buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible
wires and anchors, work properly. If loose
parts, deterioration, cuts or other dam-
age on the webbing is found, the entire
seat belt assembly should be replaced.

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat
belt becomes wrapped around a child’s
neck with the ALR mode activated, the
child can be seriously injured or killed if
the seat belt retracts and becomes
tight. This can occur even if the vehicle
is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to re-
lease the child. If the seat belt cannot
be unbuckled or is already unbuckled,
release the child by cutting the seat
belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife
or scissors) to release the seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.

In addition to the general information in
this manual, child safety information is
available from many other sources, includ-
ing doctors, teachers, government traffic
safety offices, and community organiza-
tions. Every child is different, so be sure to
learn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of child re-
straint systems:
• Rear-facing child restraint
• Forward-facing child restraint
• Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the child's
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year
and less than 20 lbs. (9 kg) should be placed
in rear-facing child restraints. Forward-
facing child restraints are available for chil-
dren who outgrow rear-facing child re-
straints and are at least 1 year old. Booster
seats are used to help position a vehicle
lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no
longer use a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special pro-
tection. 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 improp-
erly fitting seat belt could cause serious
or fatal injury. Always use appropriate
child restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved child
restraints for infants and small children.
For additional information, see “Child re-
straints” (P. 1-24).

A child restraint may be secured in the ve-
hicle by using either the LATCH (Lower An-
chors and Tethers for CHildren) system or
with the vehicle seat belt. For additional
information, see “Child restraints” (P. 1-24).

NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear
seat if available (Crew Cab models).
Studies show that children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.

This is especially important because
your vehicle has a supplemental re-
straint system (air bag system) for the
front passenger. For additional informa-
tion, see “Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS)” (P. 1-68).

INFANTS

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN
recommends that infants be placed in child

CHILD SAFETY

1-22

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

restraints that comply with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. You should choose
a child restraint that fits your vehicle and
always follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for installation and use.

SMALL CHILDREN

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh
at least 20 lbs. (9 kg) should remain in a
rear-facing child restraint as long as pos-
sible up to the height or weight limit of the
child restraint. Children who outgrow the
height or weight limit of the rear-facing
child restraint and are at least 1 year old
should be secured in a forward-facing child
restraint with a harness. Refer to the manu-
facturer’s instructions for minimum and
maximum weight and height recommen-
dations. NISSAN recommends that small
children be placed in child restraints that
comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. You should choose a
child restraint that fits your vehicle and
always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use.

LARGER CHILDREN

Children should remain in a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness until they reach
the maximum height or weight limit allowed
by the child restraint manufacturer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weight
limit of the harness-equipped forward-
facing child restraint, NISSAN recommends
that the child be placed in a commercially
available booster seat to obtain proper
seat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit properly, the
booster seat should raise the child so that
the shoulder belt is properly positioned
across the chest and the top, middle por-
tion of the shoulder. The shoulder belt
should not cross the neck or face and
should not fall off the shoulder. The lap belt
should lie snugly across the lower hips or
upper thighs, not the abdomen.

A booster seat can only be used in seating
positions that have a three-point type seat
belt. The booster seat should fit the vehicle
seat and have a label certifying that it
complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Once the child has grown so the
shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face
and neck and the lap belt can be positioned

properly across the lower hips or upper
thighs, use the seat belt without the booster
seat.

A booster seat should be used until the
child can pass the seat belt fit test below:
• Are the child’s back and hips against the

vehicle seatback?

• Is the child able to sit without slouching?
• Do the child’s knees bend easily over the

front edge of the seat with feet flat on the
floor?

• Can the child safely wear the seat belt

(lap belt low and snug across the hips
and shoulder belt across mid-chest and
shoulder)?

• Is the child able to use the properly ad-

justed head restraint/headrest?

• Will the child be able to stay in position for

the entire ride?

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-23

If you answered no to any of these ques-
tions, the child should remain in a booster
seat using a three-point type seat belt.

NOTE:

Laws in some communities may follow
different guidelines. Check local and
state regulations to confirm your child is
using the correct restraint system before
traveling.

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on any
seat and do not allow a child in the
cargo area. The child could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop or
collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS

WARNING

•

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

–

Do not install rear-facing child re-
straints in the driver's side rear
seating position.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

1-24

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

–

For forward-facing child seats
and boosters, DO NOT install if the
child restraint base extends past
the forward edge of the seat
cushion.

–

The child restraint must be used
and installed properly. Always fol-
low all of the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions for instal-
lation and use.

–

Infants and children should never
be held on anyone's lap. Even the
strongest adult cannot resist the
forces of a collision.

–

Do not put a seat belt around both
a child and another passenger.

–

NISSAN recommends that all child
restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Studies show that children
are

safer

when

properly

re-

strained in the rear seat than in
the front seat. If you must install a
forward-facing child restraint in
the

front

seat, see

“Forward-

facing child restraint installation
using the seat belts - front pas-
senger and rear bench seat (Crew
Cab models)” (P. 1-51) or “Forward-
facing child restraint installation
using the seat belts - front pas-
senger and jump seats (King Cab®
models) (P. 1-56).

–

Even with the NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System, never install a
rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat. An inflating air bag
could seriously injure or kill a child.
A rear-facing child restraint must
only be used in the rear seat.

–

Be sure to purchase a child re-
straint that will fit the child and
vehicle. Some child restraints may
not fit properly in your vehicle.

–

Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances 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 in-
stalled using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision.

–

Never use the anchor points for
adult seat belts, or other items.

–

A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat (King Cab®
models).

–

Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-
sible after fitting the child restraint.

–

Infants and children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while in the vehicle.

•

When the child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the LATCH sys-
tem or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose objects can injure oc-
cupants or damage the vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing a
child in the child restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal
child restraint anchor system, referred to
as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system. Some child restraints
include rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments that can be connected to these
anchors. For additional information, see
“LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system” (P. 1-26).

If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.

Several

manufacturers

offer

child

re-

straints for infants and children of various
sizes. When selecting any child restraint,
keep the following points in mind:
• Choose only a restraint with a label certi-

fying 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 adjust-
ments to be sure the child restraint is
compatible with your child. Choose a
child restraint that is designed for your
child's height and weight. Always follow
all recommended procedures.

• 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 anchors) to install the child
restraint.

• Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved
child restraint at all times while the ve-
hicle is being operated. Canadian law re-
quires 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 an-
chor points that are used with LATCH sys-
tem compatible child restraints. This sys-
tem may also be referred to as the ISOFIX
or ISOFIX compatible system. With this sys-
tem, you do not have to use a vehicle seat
belt to secure the child restraint unless the
combined weight of the child and child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs., (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and child restraint

is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg) use the vehi-
cle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint. Be sure to follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation.

The LATCH lower anchor points are pro-
vided to install child restraints in the rear
outboard seating positions only. Do not
attempt to install a child restraint in the
center position using the LATCH lower
anchors.

LATCH lower anchor

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use and installa-
tion 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
center rear seating position using the
LATCH lower anchors. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly.

–

Inspect the lower anchors by insert-
ing your fingers into the lower an-
chor area. Feel to make sure there
are no obstructions over the an-
chors such as seat belt webbing or
seat cushion material. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly if
the lower anchors 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 anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.

is installed on the jump seat. At-

tempting to do so could cause se-
rious injury in a sudden stop or
collision.

For

additional

information,

see

“Child

safety” (P. 1-22) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-24)
for all Warnings and Cautions before in-
stalling a child restraint.

Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and the 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 manufacturer's
instructions for installation.

seat (King Cab® models)

WARNING

•

Do not secure the top tether strap to
the routing bracket. If the child re-
straint is not anchored properly, the
risk of a child being injured or killed in
a collision or a sudden stop greatly
increases.

•

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 in-
stalled using the damaged anchor-
ages, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.

The child restraint top tether strap must be
used when installing the child restraint with
LATCH lower anchor attachments.

First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH
lower anchors (rear seating positions).

1. Pull the cover plate off to access the top

tether strap routing bracket for the jump
seat.

2. Route the top tether strap through the

routing bracket.

3. Secure the top tether strap to the tether

anchor point as shown.

4. Refer back to child restraint installation

steps before tightening the tether strap.

If you have any questions when install-
ing a top tether strap, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

THE SEAT BELTS — FRONT
PASSENGER AND REAR BENCH
SEAT (Crew Cab models)

WARNING

The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, see “Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P. 1-78).

chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for installation.

Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the rear seats (Crew Cab models) or
in the front passenger seat:

If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move
the seat to the rearmost position.
Child restraints for infants must be
used in the rear-facing direction and
therefore must not be used in the front
seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat.

Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions.

The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.

If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place.

Be sure to reinstall the head

restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed.
