WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic
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
passenger air bag. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-45).

Forward-facing (front passenger seat)—
step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and“Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the rear seats or in the front
passenger seat:
1. If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and, therefore,
must not be used in the front seat. 2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct child restraint fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when
the child restraint is removed. See
“Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-5) for
head restraint or headrest adjustment,
removal and installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the
buckle until you hear and feel the latch
engage. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions
for belt routing.
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether strap, route the top tether
strap and secure the tether strap to the
tether anchor point (rear seat installa-
tion only). See “Installing top tether
strap” (P.1-34). Do not install child
restraints that require the use of a top
tether strap in seating positions that do
not have a top tether anchor.

INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAPY51D-V-E01-C501F3B2-B525-4F0E-A619-D50D32F95904
WARNING
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 equip-
ment 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.
First, secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors (rear outboard seat
positions only) or the seat belt, as applic-
able.
1. Flip up the anchor cover from the
anchor point which is located directly
behind the child seat.
2. If necessary, raise or remove the head restraint or headrest to position the top
tether strap over the top of the seat-
back. If the head restraint or headrest
is removed, store it in a secure place.
Be sure to reinstall the head restraint or
headrest when the child restraint is
removed.
See “Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-
5) for head restraint or headrest
adjustment, removal and installation
information.
Position the top tether strap over the
top of the seatback.
3. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point on the rear parcel shelf.
4. Refer to the appropriate child restraint installation procedure steps in this
section before tightening the tether
strap. If you have any questions when installing
a top tether strap, consult your INFINITI
retailer for details.

Precautions on booster seatsY51D-V-E01-EEB07257-7590-4249-8F66-9FD497B4B441
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured in
a sudden stop or collision greatly increases:
.
Make sure the shoulder portion of the
belt is away from the child’s face and
neck and the lap portion of the belt does
not cross the stomach.
. Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the child’s
arm.
. A booster seat must only be installed in
a seating position that has a lap/
shoulder belt.

LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following points
in mind:
.Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
. Check the booster seat in your vehicle
to be sure it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.
LRS0453
. Make sure the child’s head will be
properly supported by the booster seat
or vehicle seat. The seatback must be at
or above the center of the child’s ears.
For example, if a low back booster seat
*1is chosen, the vehicle seatback
must be at or above the center of the
child’s ears. If the seatback is lower
than the center of the child’s ears, a
high back booster seat
*2should be
used.
. If the booster seat is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various
adjustments to be sure the booster seat is compatible with your child.
Always follow all recommended proce-
dures.
