Nissan Altima 2020

The Nissan Altima 2020 model was introduced as the latest version of the mid-size sedan offered by Nissan. The 2020 Altima brought several updates and enhancements compared to its predecessors. Here are some key features and improvements:

  1. Design: The 2020 Altima showcased a bold and modern design with a more aggressive front grille, sleek LED headlights, and distinctive body lines. It presented a fresh and contemporary appearance.
  2. Engine Options: The 2020 Altima offered a choice of two engine options. The standard engine was a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, providing a good balance of power and fuel efficiency. Additionally, there was an available 2.0-liter variable compression turbocharged four-cylinder engine, known as VC-Turbo, delivering enhanced performance and efficiency.
  3.

These are just a few highlights of the Nissan Altima 2020 model. For more specific details and to explore the available trim levels and options, I recommend visiting Nissan’s official website or contacting a Nissan dealership for the most accurate and comprehensive information.

CHILD SAFETY

WARNING
Do not allow children to play with 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 release 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, including doctors, teachers, government traffic safety offices, and community organizations. Every child is different, so be sure to learn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of child restraint systems:

  • Rear-facing child restraints
  • Forward-facing child restraints
  • Booster seats

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 children who outgrow rear-facing child restraints 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 protection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit 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 improperly 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, refer to “Child restraints” in this section.
A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system or with the vehicle seat belt. For additional information, refer to “Child restraints” in this section.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens and children be restrained in the rear seat. 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 restraint system (air bag system) for the front passenger. For additional information, refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)” in this section.

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 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 follows the manufacturer’s instructions 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 possible 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 manufacturer’s instructions for minimum and maximum weight and height recommendations. 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 follows the manufacturer’s instructions 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, and middle portion 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.

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 adjusted head restraint/headrest?
  • Will the child be able to stay in position for the entire ride?
    If you answered no to any of these questions, 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 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:

  • The child restraint must be used and installed properly. Always follow all of the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for installation 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 restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If you must install a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat, refer to “Forward-facing child restraint installation using the seat belts” in this section.
  • 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 restraint that will fit the child and vehicle. Some child restraints may not fit properly in your vehicle.
  • 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 anchorage, and a child could be seriously 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.
  • Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child restraint.
  • Infants and children should always 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 system or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or collision, loose objects can injure occupants or damage the vehicle.
