Part of the release lever is marked with a red
indicator. The red indicator is visible if the
seatback is not fully latched.
Return the rear seatback manually until it se-
curely locks in position. Make sure the red
indicator on the release lever is not visible
when the seats are in the upright and latched
position.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehicle
safety systems. They may provide additional
protection against injury in certain rear end
collisions. Adjust the head restraints properly,
as specified in this section. Check the adjust-
ment after someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint stalks or
remove the head restraint. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint has been removed. If the
head restraint was removed, reinstall and prop-
erly adjust the head restraint before an occu-
pant uses the seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions can reduce the effectiveness
of the head restraints. This may increase the
risk of serious injury or death in a collision. The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints. The head re-
straints are adjustable.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.

1-6Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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 differ-
ent, so be sure to learn the best way to trans-
port your child.
There are three basic types of child restraint
systems:
●Rear-facing child restraint
● Front-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 lb (9 kg)) should be placed in
rear-facing child restraints. Front-facing child
restraints are available for children who out-
grow 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 front-facing child
restraint.WARNING
Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them prop-
erly. 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 im-
properly fitting seat belt could cause serious or
fatal injury. Always use appropriate child
restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or terri-
tories require the use of approved child re-
straints for infants and small children. (See
“CHILD RESTRAINTS” later in this section.)
Also, there are other types of child restraints
available for larger children for additional pro-
tection.
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens and chil-
dren be restrained in the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
This is especially important because your ve-
hicle has a supplemental restraint system (air
bag system) for the front passenger. (See
“SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM” later in
this section.)
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint. INFINITI
recommends that infants be placed in child
restraints that comply with Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. You should choose a
child restraint which fits your vehicle and al-
ways follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation and use.
SMALL CHILDREN
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at
least 20 lb (9 kg) can be placed in a forward
facing child restraint. Refer to the manufactur-
er’s instructions for minimum and maximum
weight and height recommendations. INFINITI
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 instructions for in-
stallation and use.
CHILD SAFETY
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-19

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bags:
●The side air bags and curtain air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a frontal
impact, rear impact, rollover or lower sever-
ity side collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of accidents. ●
The seat belts, the side air bags and curtain
air bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat. The
side air bags and curtain air bags inflate with
great force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side air bags
on the side of the seatback of the front seat
or near the side roof rails. Do not allow any-
one sitting in the front seats or rear outboard
seats to extend their hand out of the window
or lean against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in the
previous illustrations.
● When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seat. If the
side air bags inflates, you may be seriously
injured. Be especially careful with children,
who should always be properly restrained.
Some examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the illustrations.
● Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with side air bags
inflation.

INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System (CONT
ASSY - CARD SLOT)
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules and RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Opera-
tion is subject to the following two conditions;
(1) This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interference that

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 220 lb (100 kg) on
the roof rails. Observe the maximum load limit
shown on the crossbars or roof carriers when
you attach them on the roof rails. Contact an
INFINITI retailer for crossbar or other equipment
information.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). The
GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S.
or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (located on the
driver’s door pillar). For more information re-
garding GVWR and GAWR, see “VEHICLE LOAD-ING INFORMATION” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section.
WARNING
●
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying capac-
ity, especially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the roof rack.
● Heavy loading of the roof rack has the poten-
tial to affect the vehicle stability and han-
dling during sudden or unusual handling
maneuvers.
● Roof rack load should be evenly distributed.
● Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing items from
the roof rack. If you cannot comfortably lift the
items onto the roof rack from the ground, use a
ladder or stool.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
● Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in
motion and before closing the windows. Use
the window lock switch to prevent unex-
pected use of the power windows.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and become trapped in
the window. Unattended children could be-
come involved in serious accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for about 45
seconds after the ignition switch is pushed to
the OFF position. If the driver’s or front passen-
ger’s door is opened during this period of about
45 seconds, power to the windows is canceled.
