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. ●
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 continu-
ously 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 by an INFINITI
retailer.
● No changes should be made to the seat belt
system. For example, do not modify the seat
belt, add material or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or tension. Do-
ing so may affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tampering with
the seat belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
● Once a seat belt pretensioner has activated,
it cannot be reused and must be replaced
together with the retractor. See an INFINITI
retailer.
● Removal and installation of the pretensioner
system components should be done by an
INFINITI retailer.

PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS (front seats)
(if so equipped)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt to
help restrain front seat occupants under emer-
gency braking. This can help reduce the risk of
injury when a collision occurs.
Pre-crash seat belt will not be activated when:
●the brake pedal is not depressed
● the seat belt is not fastened
● the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15 km/h)
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the seat belt warning light blinks even if the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belts are
fastened, it may indicate the pre-crash seat belt
system has a malfunction. Have your INFINITI
retailer check and repair the system.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WARNING
● Every person who drives or rides in this ve-
hicle should use a seat belt at all times.
● 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.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. (See “SEATS” earlier in this section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac- tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
●The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling mo-
tion permits the belt to move, and allows you
some freedom of movement in the seat.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
●Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat. Supple-
mental front air bags inflate with great force.
A rear-facing child restraint could be struck
by the supplemental front air bag in a crash
and could seriously injure or kill your child. ●
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.

5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seatbelt toward the retractor to take up extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion of
the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer’s instructions
for adjusting the belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in- structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in the “THREE-POINT TYPE
SEAT BELT” earlier in this section.
7. If the booster seat is installed in the frontpassenger seat, push the ignition switch
to the ON position. The front passenger
air bag status light
may or may not
illuminate depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat used.
(See “Front passenger air bag and status
light” later in this section.)
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger front impact supple-
mental air bags (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System), front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system, door-mounted
curtain side-impact supplemental air bag and
seat belt with pretensioners.
Supplemental front-impact air bag system: The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest
of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bag system: This system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest and pelvis area of
the driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The front seat side-impact
supplemental air bags are designed to inflate
on the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Door-mounted curtain side-impact supplemen-
tal air bag system: This system can help cushion
the impact force to the head of occupants in
front seating positions in certain side impact or
rollover collisions. The curtain air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
SSS0676
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-35

These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed tosupplement the crash protection pro-
vided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel and door fin-
ishers. (See “SEAT BELTS” earlier in this section
for instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, the supplemental air bag warning light illu-
minates. The supplemental air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the systems
are operational.
