Nissan Murano: Child restraints / Rear-facing child restraint installation using the seat belts
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALRmodewill 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.
For additional information, refer to allWarnings
and Cautions in the “Child safety” and
“Child restraints” sections of this manual
before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
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 anchors)
to install the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belts in
the rear seats:
- Child restraints for infants must be
used in the rear-facing direction and
therefore must not be used in the
front seat. Position the child restraint
on the seat. Always follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.
Rear-facing – step 1
- Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the
buckle until you hear and feel the latch
engage. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for
belt routing.
Rear-facing – step 2
- Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is
fully extended. At this time, the seat belt
retractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts to the ELR
mode when the seat belt is fully retracted.
Rear-facing – step 3
- Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on
the shoulder belt to remove any slack
in the belt.
Rear-facing – step 4
- Remove any additional slack from the
seat belt; press downward and rearward
firmly in the center of the child
restraint to compress the vehicle seat
cushion and seatback while pulling up
on the seat belt.
Rear-facing – step 5
- After attaching the child restraint, test
it before you place the child in it. Push it
fromside to side while holding the child
restraint near the seat belt path. The
child restraint should not move more
than 1 inch (25 mm), from side to side.
Try to tug it forward and check to see if
the belt holds the restraint in place. If
the restraint is not secure, tighten the
seat belt as necessary, or put the restraint
in another seat and test it again.
You may need to try a different child
restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles.
Rear-facing – step 6
- Check to make sure that the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each
use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 1 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.

The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is depressed
