•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 acci-
dent. 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, un-
der 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 con-
tinuously 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 recommended 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 de-
vices 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 per-
sonal 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 retailer for this service.
•All seat belt assemblies, including re-
tractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any collision.
It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
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 con-tinue 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 hard-
ware should be inspected after any col-
lision. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer’s inspection instructions
and replacement recommendations. 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. Con-
tact your doctor for specific recommenda-
tions.
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 fas-
tens 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 to "Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders".
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 danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You could also slide un-
der the lap belt and receive serious inter-
nal injuries.
•For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and up-
right 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 Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, the child can be seriously injured
or killed if the seat belt retracts and be-
comes tight. This can occur even if the
vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt
to release the child. If the seat belt can-
not be unbuckled or is already unbuck-
led, 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. (See "Seats" earlier in this
section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac-
tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
NIC2743
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-13

•The retractor is designed to lock dur-
ing a sudden stop or on impact. A slow
pulling motion permits the belt to
move and allows 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 passen-
gers 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 information, refer to "Child
restraints" later in this section. The ALR mode
should be used only for child restraint instal-
lation. During normal seat belt use by an oc-
cupant, the ALR mode should not be acti-
vated. 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 to
"Front passenger air bag and status light".
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that the seatbacks are completely secured
in the latched position. If they are not com-
pletely secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.

1-14Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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.

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger's INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System,
please observe the following items:
•If a forward-facing child restraint is in-
stalled in the front passenger seat, do
not position the front passenger seat so
the child restraint contacts the instru-
ment panel. If the child restraint does
contact the instrument panel, the sys-
tem may determine the seat is occupied
and the passenger air bag may deploy in
a collision. For additional information
about installing and using child re-
straints, refer to "Child restraints".
•Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status light.
