8. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the seat belt path. The child restraint should
not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from
side to side. Try to tug it forward and check
to see if the belt holds the restraint in place.
If the restraint is not secure, tighten the seat
belt as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may need
to try a different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles. 9. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2
through 8.
10. If the child restraint is installed in the frontpassenger seat, place the ignition switch in
the ON position. Either the AIR BAG ON> indicator light or SENGER AIR BAG OFF> indicator light
will illuminate depending on the size of the
child and the type of child restraint used.
See “Front passenger air bag and status
light” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system” sec-
tion. After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

If necessary, system operation can be
checked by using a special tool. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. Until you have confirmed sys-
tem operation, move the child restraint to
another position. See “Troubleshooting”
later in this section.
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 at-
tach 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.
The child restraint top tether strap must be used
when installing the child restraint with seat belts.
First, secure the child restraint with the seat belt.
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the following systems: ● Driver and passenger supplemental front im-
pact air bags (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System)
● Driver and passenger supplemental knee air
bags
● Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags
● Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bags
● Seat belts 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.
Driver and passenger supplemental
knee air bags
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the driver’s and passenger’s knees in certain
collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the chest and pelvis areas 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 and
rollover supplemental air bags
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head of occupants in the outboard seating
positions in certain side-impact or rollover colli-
sions. In a side impact, the curtain air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle
is impacted. In a rollover, curtain air bags on both
sides are designed to inflate and remain inflated
for a short time.
Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near roll-
overs. As a result, certain vehicle movements (for
example, during severe off-roading) may cause
the curtain air bags to inflate.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS)

The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front pas-
senger seat belts and is not a substitute for them.
Seat belts should always be correctly worn and
the occupant seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel and
front door finishers. For additional information,
see “Seat belts” earlier in this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the air bag warning light will illu-
minate. The air bag warning light will turn
off within a few seconds after the engine is
started if the system is operational. See
“Warning lights, indicator lights and au-
dible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section for further details.
WRS0031

WARNING
●The front-air bags ordinarily will not in-
flate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal collision. Always wear the seat belts
to help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in accidents.
● The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the OFF>
indicator light is lit. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Front
passenger air bag and status light” in
the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section. ●
The seat belts and the front-impact air
bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat.
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 posi-
tion 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
front air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always properly
use the seat belts.
●
The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage then inflates the air
bags as needed. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
● The front passenger seat is equipped
with an occupant classification sensor
(pressure sensor) that turns the front
passenger air bag OFF under some con-
ditions. This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase the
risk or severity of injury in an accident.
For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint sys-
tem” section.
● Keep hands on the outside of the steer-
ing wheel. Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could increase the
risk that they are injured when the front
air bag inflates.
ARS1133

Never let children ride unrestrained or ex-
tend their hands or face out of the win-
dow. Do not attempt to hold them in your
lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
WARNING
●Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-facing
child restraint in the front seat. An in-
flating front air bag could seriously in-
jure or kill your child. For additional
information, refer to “Child restraints”
in the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section. ●
Children may be severely injured or
killed when the front air bags, side air
bags or curtain air bags inflate if they
are not properly restrained. Pre-teens
and children should be properly re-
strained in the rear seat, if possible.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags:
● The side air bags and curtain air bags
ordinarily will not inflate in the event of
a frontal impact, rear impact, or lower
severity side collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.
