LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and installa-
tion of child restraints could result in
serious injury or death of a child or other
passengers in a sudden stop or collision:
.Only attach LATCH system compa-
tible child restraints to the lower
anchors shown in the illustration.
(See the following sections of this
Owner’s Manual for installation gui-
dance.)
. Inspect the lower anchors by insert-
ing your fingers into the lower anchor
area. Feel to make sure there are no
obstructions over the anchors such as
seat belt webbing or seat cushion
material. The child restraint will not
be secured properly if the lower
anchors are obstructed.
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Under
no circumstances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other items or
equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint anchorages. The child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged anchorage,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.

Models with rear seat folding:
The LATCH lower anchors are located
behind the cover. Flip and fold the cover,
and fix it with the hook-and-loop fastener as
shown. A label is attached to the seatback to
help you locate the LATCH lower anchors.
WAB0130X
LATCH in the center rear seating
position
There are no LATCH anchors dedicated to
the center rear seating position. However,
the inboard LATCH anchors belonging to
the two outboard seating positions (indi-
cated by the arrows) can be used together to
secure a CRS in the center rear seating
position. These anchors are separated by a
distance
of 15.6 in (395 mm). Before
attempting to secure a CRS in this seating
position, ensure that the CRS manufac-
turer’s instructions permit the use of LATCH
anchors with the spacing indicated above.
(These are sometimes referred to as “shared
anchors” or “borrowed anchors”.) CRS with rigid lower attachments cannot be
installed in the center seat. This type of CRS
should only be installed in the outboard
seating positions.
WARNING
Never attach two CRS attachments to
the same LATCH anchor. This may over-
load the anchor in a collision, which could
increase the risk of the occupant’s
serious injury or death.
When installing the CRS in the center
rear seating position with the inboard
LATCH anchors, be careful to ensure any
occupant or CRS in the outboard seating
positions is properly restrained using the
vehicle seat belt and there is no inter-
ference with the center CRS installation.
If the outboard occupants cannot be
properly restrained, consider using the
vehicle seat belt to restrain the CRS in
the center seating position, or moving
the CRS to another position instead.

Installing child restraint LATCH
lower anchor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include
two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments
that can be connected to two anchors
located at certain seating positions in your
vehicle. With this system, you do not have to
use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint. Check your child restraint for a
label stating that it is compatible with
LATCH. This information may also be in
the instructions provided by the child re-
straint manufacturer.

top tether strap child restraint on the rear
seat, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
The child restraint top tether strap must be
used when installing forward facing child
restraints with the LATCH lower anchor
attachments or seat belts. (See “Installing
top tether strap” (P.1-34).)

For additional information, refer to all
Warnings and Cautions in the “Child safety”
and “Child restraints” sections before instal-
ling a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the
combined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use
the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’sinstructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.

STRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result in
the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-50).
For additional information, refer to all
Warnings and Cautions in the “Child safety”
(P.1-20) and “Child restraints” (P.1-22)
before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use
the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belts in
