light INFINITI QX30 2017 User Guide

•The seat belt should be properly adjusted
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 put
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 in-
crease the risk of internal injuries in an ac-
cident.
•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 effective-
ness.
•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 continu-
ously while the ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it
may indicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
•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 seri-
ous personal injury.
•Once a seat belt pretensioner has acti-
vated, they cannot be reused and must be
replaced together with the retractor. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
•All seat belt assemblies, including retrac-
tors and attaching hardware, should be in-
spected after any collision. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. INFINITI recommends that all
seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion be replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no damage andcontinue to operate properly. Seat belt as-
semblies 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 hardware
should be inspected after any collision. Al-
ways follow the restraint manufacturer’s in-
spection instructions and replacement rec-
ommendations. 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. Place
the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across
your chest. Never put the lap/shoulder belt over
your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons use
seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
The seat belt warning light reminds you to
fasten your seat belts. The light illuminates if
the engine is started, all doors are closed and
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat belt
is unfastened. It will remain illuminated until
the driver and/or front passenger fastens their
seat belt. A chime will sound once the vehicle is
in motion.
If the seat belt warning light flashes, together
with an intermittent warning tone, this means
that the driver or passenger has not fastened
their seat belt, and the speed of the vehicle is
exceeding 15 MPH (25 km/h).
For additional information, refer toWarning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders
in the2. Instruments and controlssection.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT WITH
RETRACTOR
WARNING
•Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be in the rear seats and in
an appropriate restraint.
•Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous.
The shoulder belt will not be against your
body. In an accident, you could be thrown
into it and receive neck or other serious in-
juries. 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 up-
right. Always sit well back and upright 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 Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be seriously
injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if thevehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to
release the child. If the seat belt cannot be
unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release
the child by cutting the seat belt with a
suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to
release the seat belt.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. (SeeSeatsearlier in this
section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.NIC2743
1-14Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling
motion permits the belt to move and al-
lows you some freedom of movement in
the seat.
•If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its
fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt
and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt
out of the retractor.
3. Position the lap belt portionlow and snug on
the hipsas shown4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder
and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear seating
positions three-point seat belts have two
modes of operation:
•Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
•Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The ELR mode allows the seat belt to extend and
retract to allow the driver and passengers some
freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks
the seat belt when the vehicle slows down
rapidly or during certain impacts.The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation. When
the ALR mode is activated, the seat belt cannot
be extended again until the seat belt tongue is
detached from the buckle and fully retracted.
The seat belt returns to the ELR mode after the
seat belt fully retracts. For additional informa-
tion, refer toChild restraintslater in this
section. The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal seat
belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode should
not be activated. If it is activated, it may cause
uncomfortable seat belt tension. It can also
change the operation of the front passenger air
bag. For additional information, refer toFront
passenger air bag and status lightin the1.

INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) must be used when install-
ing 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.

before 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 re-
straint 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 front
passenger seat, place the ignition switch in
the ON position. The front passenger air
bag status OFF light should illuminate. If
this light is not illuminated refer toFront

Installing top tether strap
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to the ve-
hicle. Doing so could damage the child re-
straint anchorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision.

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
impact air bags (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System)
•Driver and passenger supplemental knee air
bags
•Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bag
•Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental 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’s and passenger’s
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 colli-
sions. The side air bag is designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Window bag/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 seat-
ing positions in certain side-impact or rollover
collisions. 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.
NIC2740
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-39

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.
The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front
passenger seat belts and is not a substitute for
them. Seat belts should always be correctly
worn and the occupant seated a suitable dis-
tance away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and front door finishers. For additional
information, seeSeat beltsearlier 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, the
air bag warning light will illuminate. The air bag
warning light will turn off within a few seconds
after the engine is started if the system is opera-
tional. SeeWarning lights, indicator lights and
audible remindersin the2. Instruments and
controlssection for further details.

WARNING
•The front-air bags ordinarily will not inflate
in the event of a side impact, rear impact,
rollover, or lower severity frontal 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 passenger air bag status light is lit or if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied. For
additional information, refer toFront pas-
senger air bag and status lightin the1.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemen-
tal restraint systemSafety — 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 side-
ways, 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 inju-
ries from the front air bag if you are up
against it when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far away aspractical from the steering wheel. Always
properly use the seat belts.
•The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that de-
tect if the seat belts are fastened. The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System monitors
the severity of a collision and seat belt us-
age then inflates the air bags as needed.
Failure to properly wear seat belts can in-
crease 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 conditions. This sensor
is only used in this seat. Failure to be prop-
erly seated and wearing the seat belt can
increase the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. For additional information, refer
toFront passenger air bag and status light
in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint systemsection.
•Keep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel. Placing them inside the steering
wheel rim could increase the risk that they
are injured when the front air bag inflates.
WARNING
Never let children ride unrestrained or extend
their hands or face out of the window. Do not
attempt to hold them in your lap or arms. Some
examples of dangerous riding positions are
shown in the illustrations.
