REAR SEATS
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.
Reclining
Pull the reclining leverAand position the
seatback at the desired angle. Release the
reclining lever after positioning the seat at the
desired angle.
To return the seatback, pull the lever.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes to help
obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “PRECAUTIONS
ON SEAT BELT USAGE” later in this section.) The
seatback may also be reclined to allow occu-
pants to rest when the vehicle is parked.
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, check to be sure the seat is
securely locked.

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

Front-seat Active Head Restraint
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 injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original position.Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as
described earlier in this section.
ADJUSTABLE HEADREST
WARNING
The adjustable headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may provide
additional protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjust the headrests prop-
erly, as specified in this section. Check the ad-
justment after someone else uses the seat. Do
not attach anything to the adjustable headrest
stalks or remove the adjustable headrests. Do
not use the seat if the adjustable headrests
have been removed. If the headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust the head-
rest before an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion. Failure to follow these instructions can
reduce the effectiveness of the adjustable
headrests. This may increase the risk of serious
injury or death in a collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well
back in your seat with both feet on the floor,
your chances of being injured or killed in an
accident and/or the severity of injury may be
greatly reduced. INFINITI strongly encourages
you and all of your passengers to buckle up
every time you drive, even if your seating
position includes a supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or ter-
ritories specify that seat belts be worn at all
times when a vehicle is being driven.

WARNING
●Every person who drives or rides in this ve-
hicle should use a seat belt at all times. Chil-
dren should be properly restrained in the
rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child
restraint.
● The seat belt should be properly adjusted to
a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the
effectiveness of the entire restraint system
and increase the chance or severity of injury
in an accident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
● Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder 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 fas-
tened to the proper buckle.
● Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
