child lock INFINITI G-CONVERTIBLE 2010 Owners Manual

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.

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.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on
the buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat
belt movement by two separate methods:
●When the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
● When the vehicle slows down rapidly. To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows:
●
Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward
quickly. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check
or if you have any question about seat belt
operation, see an INFINITI retailer.

●INFINITI recommends that child restraints be
installed in the rear seat. However, if you
must install a child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger seat to the
rearmost position. Also, be sure the front
passenger air bag status light is illuminated
to indicate the passenger air bag is OFF. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
later in this section for details.
● The three-point seat belt in your vehicle is
equipped with an Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) which must be used when installing
a child restraint.
● Failure to use the ALR will result in the child
restraint not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be unse-
cured and cause injury to the child in a sud-
den stop or collision.
● This vehicle is not equipped with upper teth-
ers. A child restraint system requiring the
use of a top tether strap cannot be properly
installed and should not be used in this
vehicle.
The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installation using the vehicle seat
belts in the rear seat or the front passenger
seat.
Front-facing
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seat or in the front passenger seat.
A child restraint that requires a top tether strap
for installation should not be used in this
vehicle.
1. If you must install a child restraint in the
front seat, it should be placed in a front-
facing direction only. Move the seat to the
rearmost position. Child restraints for in-
fants must be used in the rear-facing direc-
tion and therefore must not be used in the
front seat. 2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint (front passenger seat only) to ob-
tain the correct child restraint fit. (See
“HEAD RESTRAINTS” earlier in this section.)
If the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint when the child restraint is re-
moved.
The head restraint of models with a head
restraint speaker (if so equipped) cannot be
removed.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is interfer-
ing with the proper child restraint fit, try
another seating position or a different child
restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through thechild restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for belt routing. 4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt re-
tractor is in the Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode). It
reverts to Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully
retracted. 5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on
the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt.

6. Remove any additional slack from theseat belt; press downward and rearward
firmly in the center of the child restraint
with your knee to compress the vehicle
seat cushion and seatback while pulling
up on the seat belt. 7. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the seat
near the seat belt path. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm)
from side to side. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the belt holds the restraint
in place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the belt as necessary, or put the
restraint in another seat and test it again.
You may need to try a different child
restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles. 8. Check that the retractor is in the ALR
mode by trying to pull more seat belt out
of the retractor. If you cannot pull any
more belt webbing out of the retractor,
the retractor is in the ALR mode.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 8.

mode by trying to pull more seat belt out
of the retractor. If you cannot pull any
more seat belt webbing out of the retrac-
tor, the retractor is in the ALR mode.
8. Check to make sure that the child re- straint is properly secured prior to each
use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 3 through 7.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child re-
straint mode) is canceled.
PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER SEATS
WARNING
●Infants and small children should always be
placed in an appropriate child restraint
while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a
child restraint or booster seat can result in
serious injury or death.
● Infants and small children should never be
carried on your lap. It is not possible for even
the strongest adult to resist the forces of a
severe accident. The child could be crushed
between the adult and parts of the vehicle.
Also, do not put the same seat belt around
both your child and yourself.

WARNING
●Always have the doors locked while driving.
Along with the use of seat belts, this pro-
vides greater safety in the event of an acci-
dent by helping to prevent persons from be-
ing thrown from the vehicle. This also helps
keep children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help keep
out intruders.
● Before opening any door, always look for and
avoid oncoming traffic.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors simultaneously using the
mechanical key.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder to the
rear of the vehicle
1will lock all doors.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder once
to the front of the vehicle
2will unlock the
driver’s door. After returning the key to the
neutral position
3, turning it to the front
again within 5 seconds will unlock all doors. ●
You can switch the lock system to the mode
that allows you to open all the doors when
the key is turned once. (See “HOW TO USE
SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, cli-
mate, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY
The driver’s door key operation also allows you
to open and close the window that is equipped
with the automatic open/close function. (See
“POWER WINDOWS” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.)
To open the window, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for longer than
1 second . The door is unlocked and the window
keeps opening while turning the key.
This function can also be performed by pushing
and holding the UNLOCK button on the Intelli-
gent Key. (See “REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYS-
TEM” later in this section.)
To close the windows, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the front of the vehicle for longer
than 1 second . The door is locked and the
window keeps closing while turning the key.

WARNING
●Do not drive with the trunk lid open. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle. See “EXHAUST GAS
(carbon monoxide)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section of this manual.
● Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from playing
and becoming locked in the trunk where they
could be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the trunk closed, when not in
use, and prevent children’s access to Intelli-
gent Keys.
CAUTION
The mechanisms that operate the retractable
hard top are installed in the trunk lid. For this
reason, the trunk lid is heavier than those on
most vehicles. Opening and closing the trunk
may take more effort than conventional trunk
lids. The additional effort is normal for this
vehicle.

“REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM” earlier in
this section.)
TRUNK OPEN REQUEST SWITCH
The trunk lid can be opened by pushing the
trunk open request switch
Awhen the Intelli-
gent Key is within the operating range of the
trunk lock/unlock function regardless of the
inside lock knob position. (See “INTELLIGENT
KEY SYSTEM” earlier in this section.)
AUTO CLOSURE
If the trunk lid is pulled down to a partly open
position, the trunk lid will pull itself to the
closed position.
Do not apply excessive force when the auto clo-
sure is operating. Excessive force applied may
cause the mechanism to malfunction.
