rear INFINITI G-CONVERTIBLE 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

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
equipped with a head restraint.
SSS0991
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-7

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.
