belt INFINITI EX 2011 Owners Manual

Your INFINITI represents a new way of thinking
about vehicle design. It integrates advanced
engineering and superior craftsmanship with a
simple, refined aesthetic sensitivity associated
with traditional Japanese culture.
The result is a different notion of luxury and
beauty. The car itself is important, but so is the
sense of harmony that the vehicle evokes in its
driver, and the sense of satisfaction you feel
with the INFINITI — from the way it looks and
drives to the high level of retailer service.
To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to the
fullest, we encourage you to read this Owner’s
Manual immediately. It explains all of the fea-
tures, controls and performance characteristics
of your INFINITI; it also provides important
instructions and safety information.
A separate Warranty Information Booklet is in-
cluded in your Owner’s literature portfolio. The
INFINITI Service and Maintenance Guide ex-
plains details about maintaining and servicing
your vehicle. Always carry it with you when you
take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer. The War-
ranty Information Booklet contents provide
complete information about all warranties cov-
ering this vehicle, the requirements to keep the
warranties in effect as well as the INFINITI Road-
side Assistance program.Additionally, a separate Customer Care and
Lemon Law Information Booklet will explain how
to resolve any concerns you may have with your
vehicle, as well as clarify your rights under your
state’s lemon law.
READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE SAFELY
Before driving your vehicle, read your Owner’s
Manual carefully. This will ensure familiarity
with controls and maintenance requirements,
assisting you in the safe operation of your
vehicle.

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
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.
FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips :
● The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 seconds,
then reactivate the switch.
● Do not operate the power seat switch for a
long period of time when the engine is off.
This will discharge the battery.
See “AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER” in the “3.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments” section for
the seat position memory function.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not
to contact any moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damages.

SEATS
1-2Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Forward and backward :
Moving the switch
1forward or backward will
slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position.
Reclining :
Move the recline switch
2backward until the
desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward again, move the switch
2forward. The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE” later in this section.) Also, the seatback
can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when
the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is
in the P (Park) position.
Seat lifter :
Push the front or rear end of the switch up or
down to adjust the angle or height of the seat.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-3

Lumbar support (if so equipped) :
The lumbar support feature provides lower back
support to the driver.
Type A
Push the front
1or back2end of the switch
to adjust the seatback lumbar area. Type B
Move the lever
1up or down to adjust the
seatback lumbar area.
REAR SEATS
CAUTION
When folding or returning the seatback(s) to
the upright position, to avoid injury to yourself
and others:
● Make sure that the seat path is clear before
moving the seat. ●
When operating the rear power seatback re-
turn, make sure that the vehicle is stopped
and the transmission is in the P (Park)
position.
● Make sure the lid of the rear seat cup holders
is closed before folding the rear seatback.
WARNING
● Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area
or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could result in se-
rious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
● When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain they are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
