WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all
times. Children should be properly re-
strained in the rear seat and, if appro-
priate, in a child restraint.
. The seat belt should be properly ad-
justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the chance
or severity of injury in an accident.
Serious injury or death can occur if the
seat belt is not worn properly.
. Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
run the belt behind your back, under
your arm or across your neck. The belt
should be away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.
. Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in an
accident.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle. .
Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its effec-
tiveness.
. Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition switch
is in the ON position with all doors
closed and all seat belts fastened, it may
indicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
. No changes should be made to the seat
belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material or install
devices that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may affect
the operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious perso-
nal injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and must
be replaced together with the retractor.
See an INFINITI retailer. .
Removal and installation of the preten-
sioner seat belt system components
should be 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.

applicable). Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles.
5. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat steps
1 through 4.

REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT IN-
STALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS
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.1-44).

FORWARD-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS
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.1-44).
SSS0640
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.

Forward-facing—step 10
10. If the child restraint is installed in the
front passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the ON position. The front
passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-44).Move
the child restraint to another seating
position. Have the system checked by
an INFINITI retailer.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.
SSS0791
INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAP
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 adjust-
ment, removal and installation informa-
tion.
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.

7. If the booster seat is installed in thefront passenger seat, push the ignition
switch to the ON position. The front
passenger air bag status light
may
or may not illuminate depending on the
size of the child and the type of booster
seat used. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-44).
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information
concerning the following systems:
.Driver and passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System)
. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact sup-
plemental air bag
. Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head
and chest of the driver and front passenger
in certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can
help cushion the impact force to the chest
and pelvis area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side impact collisions.
The side air bag is designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can
help cushion the impact force to the head of occupants in front and rear outboard
seating positions in certain side impact
collisions. The curtain air bags are de-
signed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to
supplementthe crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and passenger
seat belts and are not a substitutefor
them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a
suitable distance away from the steering
wheel, instrument panel and door fin-
ishers. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-10) for
instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ingition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ingition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental air
bag warning light will turn off after about
7 seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING
. The supplemental front air bags ordina-
rily will not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower
severity frontal collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.
. The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the passenger air bag status
light is lit or if the front passenger seat
is unoccupied. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-44).
. The seat belts and the supplemental
front air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat with both feet on the floor. The
front air bags inflate with great force.
Even with the INFINITI advanced air bag
system, if you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the supplemental front air bag if
you are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback
