WARNING
∙ Do not ride in a moving vehicle when theseatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. 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
upright. Always sit well back and upright
in the seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat properly. For additional
information, refer to “Precautions on
seat belt usage” 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 acti-
vate switches or controls or make the ve-
hicle move. Unattended children could
become involved in serious accidents. ∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause
a significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
∙ Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driv- ing so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation. The seat may move sud-
denly and could cause loss of control of
the vehicle.
∙ The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts
are most effective when the passenger
sits well back and straight up in the seat.
If the seatback is reclined, the risk of slid-
ing 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 damage.

WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be ad-
justed properly, as specified in this section.
Check the adjustment after someone else
uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalk, except for
genuine INFINITI accessories specifically
tested for use with the vehicle’s head
restraint/headrest stalk. Do not remove
the head restraint/headrest. Do not use
the seat if the head restraint/headrest has
been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, reinstall
and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions can reduce the effective-
ness of the head restraints/headrests. This
may increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision.The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints/headrests.

WARNING
∙ Always route the shoulder belt over yourshoulder and across your chest. Never
put the belt behind your back, under your
arm or across your neck. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
∙ Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in an
accident. ∙ Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
∙ Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
∙ Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
∙ Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.
∙ If the seat belt warning light glows con- tinuously while the ignition is turned on
with all doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in
the system. Have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material, or install de-
vices that may change the seat belt rout-
ing or tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system. Modi-
fying or tampering with the seat belt sys-
tem may result in serious personal injury. ∙ Once a seat belt pretensioner(s) have ac-
tivated, they cannot be reused and must
be replaced together with the retractor.
It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ All seat belt assemblies, including retrac- tors and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after any collision. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. INFINITI recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate prop-
erly. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be inspected
and replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
∙ All child restraints and attaching hard- ware should be inspected after any colli-
sion. Always follow the restraint manu-
facturer’s inspection instructions and
replacement recommendations. The child
restraints should be replaced if they are
damaged.

is unfastened, the motor retracts the seat
belt. If the seat belt is not fully retracted, the
motor retracts the seat belt when the door is
opened.
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the motor cannot retract the seat belt when
the seat belt is fastened or unfastened, it may
indicate the pre-crash seat belt system has a
malfunction. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer to check and repair the
system.
When the seat belt is retracted repeatedly in
a short period of time, the motor may not be
able to retract the seat belt. After 8 minutes,
the motor reactivates and retracts the seat
belt. If the seat belt still cannot be retracted
by the motor, the pre-crash seat belt system
has a malfunction. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer to check and
repair the system.THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WITH RETRACTOR
WARNING
∙ Every person who drives or rides in thisvehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be in the rear seats and in
an appropriate restraint.
∙ Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. 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
upright. Always sit well back and upright
in the seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. ∙ Do not allow children to play with the
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 un-
buckled 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.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
C.Be
sure the shoulder belt is routed over your
shoulder and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear seating
positions three-point seat belts have two
modes of operation: ∙ Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
∙ Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The ELR mode allows the seat belt to extend
and retract to allow the driver and passen- gers some freedom of movement in the seat.
The ELR locks the seat belt when the vehicle
slows down rapidly or during certain impacts.
The 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, refer to “Child re-
straints” 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 uncomfortable seat belt tension.
It can also change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag and
status light” in this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that the seatbacks are completely secured
in the latched position. If they are not com-
pletely secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat belts
