WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
.The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 sec-
onds, then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch
for a long period of time when the
engine is off. This will discharge the
battery.
See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-38)
for the seat position memory function (if so
equipped).
SSS1051
Forward and backward:
Moving the switch
*1forward or backward
will slide the seat forward or backward to
the desired position.
Reclining:
Move the recline switch
*2backward until
the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch
*2forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of
the seatback for occupants of different
sizes for added comfort and to help obtain
proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on
seat belt usage” (P.1-11).) Also, the seat- back can be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is stopped and the
transmission is in the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position with the parking brake
fully applied.
Safety
—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-3

.When the shift lever is not in the P
(Park) position (Automatic Transmis-
sion model’ s driver’s seat) or the
parking brake is not applied (Manual
Transmission model’s driver’s seat).
. When the door is closed.
. While the automatic drive positioner
operates (if so equipped).
. When the automatic drive positioner
switches are pushed (if so equipped).
. When the seatback switch
*2is
pushed.
. When the seat position is adjusted.
Note that the seat must be moved to the
front-most position by operating the walk-
in function or the seat adjusting switches
after the battery is disconnected. Other-
wise, the seat will not move backward
during the walk-in function.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehi-
cle safety systems. They may provide addi-
tional protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjust the head re-
straints properly, as specified in this sec- tion. Check the adjustment 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
properly adjust the head restraint before an
occupant 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.
SSS0991
The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with head restraints. The
head restraints are adjustable.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.

done by an INFINITI retailer.
. All seat belt assemblies, including re-
tractors and attaching hardware, should
be inspected after any collision by an
INFINITI retailer. INFINITI recommends
that all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced unless
the collision was minor and the belts
show no damage and continue to oper-
ate properly. Seat belt assemblies not in
use during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching hard-
ware should be inspected after any
collision. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer’ s inspection instructions
and replacement recommendations. The
child restraints should be replaced if
they are damaged.
PREGNANT WOMEN
INFINITI recommends that pregnant women
use seat belts. The seat belt should be
worn snug, and always position the lap
belt as low as possible around the hips,
not the waist, and place the shoulder belt
over your shoulder and across your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your
abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons
use seat belts, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for specific recom-
mendations.
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 emergency 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
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.
. Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat
belt becomes wrapped around a child’s
neck with the ALR mode activated, the

indicate a burned-out bulb or an open
circuit in the electrical system. Have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
Some indicators and warnings are also
displayed on the dot matrix crystal display
between the speedometer and tachometer.
(See
“Dot matrix liquid crystal display”
(P.2-17).)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS

If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system
then operates normally, but without anti-
lock assistance. (See“Brake system”(P.5-
52).)
Automatic transmission check
warning light (if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the light comes on for 2
seconds. If the light comes on at any other
time, it may indicate the transmission is
not functioning properly. Have your INFINITI
retailer check and repair the transmission.
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light comes on when the
parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake
fluid level. If the light comes on while the
engine is running with the parking brake
not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following: 1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake
fluid is necessary, add fluid and have
the system checked by your INFINITI
retailer. (See “Brake and clutch fluid”
(P.8-13).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the brake sys-
tem checked, and if necessary repaired, by
an INFINITI retailer promptly. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-10).)
WARNING
. Your brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on.
Driving could be dangerous. If you judge
it to be safe, drive carefully to the
nearest service station for repairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dangerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the brake fluid
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked at an INFINITI
retailer.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or
if the light remains on, see an INFINITI
retailer immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt
is loose, broken or missing.
