that can be connected to two anchors lo-
cated at certain seating positions in your
vehicle. With this system, you do not have to
use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint. Check your child restraint for a label
stating that it is compatible with LATCH. This
information may also be in the instructions
provided by the child restraint manufacturer.
When installing a child restraint, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child re-
straints.
Top tether anchor
WARNING
•Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Un-
der no circumstances are they to be used
to attach adult seat belts, or other items
or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so
could damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not be
properly installed using the damaged
anchorage, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
•If the cargo cover (if so equipped) con-
tacts the top tether strap when it is at-
tached to the top tether anchor, remove
the cargo cover from the vehicle or se-
cure it on the cargo floor below its at-
tachment location. If the cargo cover is
not removed, it may damage the top
tether strap during a collision. A child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is dam-
aged.
•Do not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Properly secure the
cargo so it does not contact the top
tether strap. Cargo that is not properly
secured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage it during a col-
lision. A child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the top tether
strap is damaged.Top tether anchor point locations for

3. For child restraints that are equipped with
webbing-mounted attachments, remove
any additional slack from the anchor at-
tachments. Press downward and rear-
ward firmly in the center of the child re-
straint with your hand to compress the
vehicle seat cushion and seatback while
tightening the webbing of the anchor at-
tachments.4. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the LATCH attachment
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 LATCH attachment holds the re-
straint in place. If the restraint is not se-
cure, tighten the LATCH attachment as
necessary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to try
a different child restraint or try installing
by using the vehicle seat belt (if appli-
cable). 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 2
through 4.

BOOSTER SEATS
For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured or
killed 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 be-
hind 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.
Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following points in
mind:
LRS0501Z
LRS0464Z
1-34Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213.
•Check the booster seat in your vehicle to
be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
•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 the child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is compatible with
the child. Always follow all recommended
procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is be-
ing operated.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats or
the front passenger seat.
Booster seat installation
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured or
killed 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 be-
hind 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.
To avoid injury to a child, do not use the
lap/shoulder belt in the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) mode when using a
booster seat with the seat belts.
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the "Child safety", "Child
restraints" and "Booster seats" before install-
ing a child restraint.
LRS0455Z
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-35

Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the rear seat or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rearmost
position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat.
Only place it in a front-facing direction.
Always follow the booster seat manufac-
turer’s instructions.
3. The booster seat should be positioned on
the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint to obtain the correct booster
seat fit. If the head restraint is removed,store it in a secure place.Be sure to rein-
stall the head restraint when the booster
seat is removed.
For additional information about head
restraint/headrest adjustment, removal
and installation, refer to "Head restraints/
Headrests".
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it
is interfering with the proper booster seat
fit, try another seating position or a differ-
ent booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt
low and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the seat belt
routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat
belt toward the retractor to take up extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion of
the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer’s instructions
for adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in-
structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in "Precautions on seat belt
usage" earlier in this section.

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments (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 cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a suit-
able 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,
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 operational. See "Warning lights,
indicator lights and audible reminders" for
further details.

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 in-
jury in accidents.
•The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the OFF>
indicator light is lit. For
additional information, refer to "Front
passenger air bag and status light".
•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 position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash.
You may also receive serious or fatal in-
juries 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".
•Keep hands on the outside of the steer-
ing wheel. Placing them inside the steer-
ing wheel rim could increase the risk that
they are injured when the front air bag
inflates.
WARNING
Never let children ride unrestrained or ex-
tend 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.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-39

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
injure or kill your child. For additional
information, refer to "Child restraints".
•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.
WARNING
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 se-
verity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.
