WARNINGO Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and receive neck
or other serious injuries. You could also
slide under the lap belt and receive se-
rious internal injuries. O For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the
seat and adjust the seat belt properly.
See ªPrecautions on seat belt usageº
later in this section. FRONT POWER SEAT ADJUSTMENT
WARNING O Do not adjust the driver's seat while
driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
O Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in se-
rious accidents.
Operating tips O The seat motor has an auto-reset over-
load protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 sec-
onds, then reactivate the switch.
O Do not operate the power seat for a
long period of time when the engine is
off. This will discharge the battery.
See ªAutomatic drive positionerº in the
ª3. Pre-driving checks and adjustmentsº
for automatic seat positioner operation (if
so equipped). SSS0133B

O grasp the shoulder belt and pull for-
ward quickly. The retractor should lock
and restrict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any questions about
belt operation, see an INFINITI dealer.
Shoulder belt height adjustment
(for Sedan front seats) The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position best suited for
you. (See ªPrecautions on seat belt
usageº earlier in this section.) To adjust,
pull the release button
q 1
, and then move
the shoulder belt anchor

to the de-
sired position, so that the belt passes
over the center of the shoulder. The belt
should be away from your face and neck,
but not falling off of your shoulder. Re-
lease the adjustment button

the shoulder belt anchor into position. WARNING O After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure it is securely fixed in position.
O The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position best for you.
Failure to do so may reduce the effective-
ness of the entire restraint system and
increase the chance or severity of injury
in an accident. SSS0368

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
O Check the child restraint in your ve-
hicle to be sure it is compatible with
the vehicle's seat and seat belt
system.
O If the child restraint is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
child restraint and check the various
adjustments to be sure the child re-
straint is compatible with your child.
Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child's height and
weight. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures.
All US states and Canadian provinces re-
quire that infants and small children be re-
strained in approved child restraints at all
times while the vehicle is being operated.
WARNINGO Improper use of a child restraint can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury for
both the child and other occupants of
the vehicle. O Follow all of the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions for installation and
use. When purchasing a child restraint,
be sure to select one which will fit your
child and vehicle. It may not be possible
to properly install some types of child re-
straints in your vehicle.
O If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured
in a collision or a sudden stop greatly in-
creases.
O Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the child restraint, but as
upright as possible.
O After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side. Try to tug it forward
and check to see if the belt holds the re-
straint in place. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 in (25 mm).
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
ofvehicles. O If you must install a front-facing child re-
straint in the front seat, see ªChild re-
straint installation on front passenger
seatº later in this section.
O When your child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in case
of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check
the seating surface and buckles before
placing your child in the child restraint.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
ON REAR SEAT OUTBOARD OR
CENTER POSITIONS
WARNINGO The three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
O Failure to use the automatic locking
mode will result in the child restraint not
being properly secured. The restraint
could tip over or otherwise be unsecured
and cause injury to the child in a sudden
stop or collision.
Front facing When you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard or center seat, follow these
steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the
seat. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer's instructions. The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback. If
necessary, adjust or remove the head re-
straint to obtain the correct child restraint
fit. See ªHead restraint adjustmentº ear-
lier in this section. If the head restraint is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to install the head restraint when the
child restraint is removed. If the seating
position does not have an adjustable
head restraint and it is interfering with
the proper child restraint fit, try another
seating position or a different child re-
straint. SSS0252A
