WARNING
●Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous.
The shoulder belt will not be against your
body. In an accident, you could be thrown
into it and receive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under the lap belt
and receive serious internal injuries. ●
For the most effective protection when the
vehicle is in motion, the seat should be up-
right. Always sit well back in the seat with
both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt
properly. See “PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE” later in this section.
● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents. ●
The seatback should not be reclined further
than necessary for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well
back and straight up in the seat. If the seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding under the
lap belt and being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not
to contact any moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damages.

Walk-in mechanism :
This feature makes it easier to get in and out of
the rear seat. Use the following procedure when
getting in and out of the rear seat.
If the sun visor is used, close it to the original
position before operating the walk-in feature.
1. Pull the seatback lever upward1to fold
the front seatback down. Make sure that
the front seatback is completely folded
down.
2. To slide the front seat forward, push the seatback switch
2. The front seat will
move forward.
3. Get in or out of the vehicle. 4. To return the front seat to its original
position, raise the seatback and firmly
push the seatback switch
2again.
●To stop the seat sliding, push the seatback
switch
2again or push the seat sliding
switch.
● The front passenger seat will stop returning
7.0 in (177.6 mm) from its front-most posi-
tion to retain space for the rear passenger.
● Depending on the seat position, the head
restraint may contact the roof headlining
during the walk-in operation. To prevent
possible interference, lower the seat using
the seat lifter switch.
CAUTION
● When returning the seat to its original posi-
tion, confirm the seat and seatback are
locked properly.
● Be careful not to pinch your hand or foot or
bump your head when operating the walk-in
seat.
● Do not place any objects near the seatback
of the front seats. They may be pinched and
damaged.
● When operating the walk-in function, always
release the seat belt from the seat belt
guide. Otherwise, the seat belt guide may be
damaged.
The automatic forwarding and reversing will not
work or stop under the following conditions:
● When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h) (driver’s seat only).
● When the seat belt is fastened.
● When the selector lever is not in the P (Park)
position (Automatic Transmission model’s
driver’s seat) or the parking brake is not
applied (Manual Transmission model’s driv-
er’s seat).
● When the door is closed.

equipped) are designed so that the head re-
straint cannot be removed. The head restraint
speaker may be damaged if the head restraint

Install
1. Align the head restraint stalks with theholes in the seat. Make sure that the head
restraint is facing the correct direction.
The stalk with the adjustment notches
1
must be installed in the hole with the lock
knob
2.
2. Push and hold the lock knob and push the head restraint down.
3. Properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the seating position.
Front-seat Active Head Restraints
The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz-
ing the force that the seatback receives from
the occupant in a rear-end collision. The move-
ment of the head restraint helps support the
occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is
said that whiplash-type injury occurs most. Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original positions.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as
described earlier in this section.

PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS (front seats)
(if so equipped)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt to
help restrain front seat occupants under emer-
gency braking. This can help reduce the risk of
injury when a collision occurs.
Pre-crash seat belt will not be activated when:
●the brake pedal is not depressed
● the seat belt is not fastened
● the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15 km/h)
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the seat belt warning light blinks even if the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belts are
fastened, it may indicate the pre-crash seat belt
system has a malfunction. Have your INFINITI
retailer check and repair the system.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WARNING
● Every person who drives or rides in this ve-
hicle should use a seat belt at all times.
● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous.
The shoulder belt will not be against your
body. In an accident, you could be thrown
into it and receive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under the lap belt
and receive serious internal injuries.
● For the most effective protection when the
vehicle is in motion, the seat should be up-
right. Always sit well back in the seat with
both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt
properly.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. (See “SEATS” earlier in this section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac- tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
●The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling mo-
tion permits the belt to move, and allows you
some freedom of movement in the seat.
SSS0292
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-15
Page 35 of 458
●If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully
retracted position, firmly pull the belt and
release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of
the retractor.
3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug
on the hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure
the shoulder belt is routed over your
shoulder and across your chest.
The three-point type seat belts have two modes
of operation:
●Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
● Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
allows the seat belt to extend and retract to
allow the driver and passengers some freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat
belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly or
during impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode
(child restraint mode) locks the seat belt for
child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat belt
cannot be extended again until the seat belt
tongue is detached from the buckle and fully
retracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode
after the seat belt fully retracts. For additional
information, see “CHILD RESTRAINTS” later in
this section.
The ALR mode should be used only for child
restraint installation. During normal seat belt
use by an occupant, the ALR mode should not be
activated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension.WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain that
seatbacks are completely secured in the
latched position. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
