not be able to retract the seat belt. After a
few minutes, the motor normally reacti-
vates and retracts the seat belt. If the seat
belt still cannot be retracted by the motor,
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
vehicle should use a seat belt at all
times.
. 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
serious internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the
seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly.JVR0256X
Models with rear seat folding
WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the seat
belts. Most seating positions are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be seriously
injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if the
vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to
release the child. For the center of the rear
seat on the models with rear seat folding,
the connector tongue
*1may also be released. Release the connector tongue by
inserting a suitable tool (such as a key) into
the connector buckle
*A. If the seat belt
can not be unbuckled or is already un-
buckled, release the child by cutting the
seat belt with a suitable tool (such as a
knife or scissors) to release the seat belt.

the seat belt does not retract suddenly
when the tongue is released from the connector buckle. Release the connec-
tor tongue by inserting a suitable tool
such as key
*Ainto the connector
buckle.
2. Then secure the connector tongue into the retractor base
*2.
WARNING
. Do not unfasten the rear center seat belt
connector except when folding down the
rear seat.
. When attaching the rear center seat belt
connector, be certain that the seatbacks
are completely secured in the latched
position and the rear center seat belt
connector is completely secured.
. If the rear center seat belt connector and
the seatbacks are not secured in the
correct position, serious personal injury
may result in an accident or sudden
stop.

Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in
this manual, child safety information is
available from many other sources, includ-
ing doctors, teachers, government traffic
safety offices, and community organiza-
tions. Every child is different, so be sure to
learn the best way to transport your child.
There are three basic types of child
restraint systems:
. Rear-facing child restraint
. Forward-facing child restraint
. Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child ’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year
and less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should be
placed in rear-facing child restraints. For-
ward-facing child restraints are available
for children who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old.
Booster seats are used to help position a
vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who
can no longer use a forward-facing child
restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them
properly. The shoulder belt may come too
close to the face or neck. The lap belt may
not fit over their small hip bones. In an
accident, an improperly fitting seat belt
could cause serious or fatal injury. Always
use appropriate child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved
child restraints for infants and small
children. See
“Child restraints” (P.1-24).
A child restraint may be secured in the
vehicle by using either the LATCH (Lower
Anchor and Tethers for CHildren) system or
with the vehicle seat belt. See “Child
restraints” (P.1-24) for more information.
