CURTAIN: ROW-ENUMERATED on two Nissan surfaces — press kit 'for all three rows' and specs-trims 'Curtain 1st, 2nd and 3rd row'; manual uses generic front-and-rear language (lower specificity, not a contradiction). LATCH: 1 lower-anchor position, third-row driver's side — PROSE on two sources (press kit + manual 'the following positions only: … 3rd row driver's side seating position'). TETHERS: 3 — press kit 'second and third row outboard and center'; figure LRS3755 ('3rd row bench seat') RE-VERIFIED BY OPERATOR from a 200-dpi render: three tether straps to three anchor points across the third-row bench. REMINDER = TRUE, FIGURE-DERIVED (owner-surfaced prose, operator-verified 2026-08-29 by rendering the display figure at 900 dpi). The belt-warning PROSE is generic — 'if any rear passenger's seat belt is unfastened', 'display of the seat belts for rear seating positions only', 'the rear seat warning indicator will vary depending on the seat layout' — and never names row 3, which is why the first pass said ambiguous. The DISPLAY FIGURE settles it: 'Rear seat belt warning (if so equipped)', Type A (figure LIC5493, printed p.110) is a top-down cabin graphic captioned REAR showing SIX seat status icons in TWO ROWS OF THREE, the rearward row sitting at the back of the cabin outline. On this vehicle the rear seating is a 3-position 2nd-row bench plus a 3-position 3rd-row bench, so six positions in two rows of three can only be rows 2 and 3 — the third row is monitored and displayed. Type B (LIC6342, 'Display with all seats') shows the same status grid including the front row. Not text-labelled by row the way Mazda's is, so figure-derived rather than prose-stated; verificationStatus stays PARTIAL.
Hardware facts only. No U.S. crash-test programme instruments third-row occupants, so this site publishes what the vehicle has rather than a rating.
