3. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the tongue engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions for belt routing. If
the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap
and secure the tether strap to the tether
anchor point (rear seat installation only).
For additional information, refer to "In-
stalling top tether strap".
Do not install child restraints that require
the use of a top tether strap in seating
positions that do not have a top tether
anchor.4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt re-
tractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts to ELR mode when the
seat belt is fully retracted.5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on
the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt.

6. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint with
your knee to compress the vehicle seat
cushion and seatback while pulling up on
the seat belt.
7. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions to remove
any slack.8. 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 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 nec-
essary, or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child re-
straints 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. Either the
indicator
light or
indicator light will illuminate depending
on the size of the child and the type of
child restraint used. See "Front passen-
ger air bag and status light". 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 rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. Until you have
confirmed system 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 attach
adult seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint 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.Outboard seating positions with removable
head restraints/headrests:
1. If necessary raise or remove the head
restraint/headrest and store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed. For additional informa-
tion about head restraint/headrest ad-
justment, removal and installation, refer to
"Head restraints/Headrests".
2. Position the top tether strap
1over the
seatback as shown.
3. Secure the tether strap to the tether an-
chor point
2on the seatback behind the
child restraint as shown.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions to remove
any slack.
Outboard seating positions with fixed head
restraints/headrests:
1. If the child restraint has a single tether
strap, route the strap
1over the top of
the outer head restraint/headrest. If the
child restraint has two tether straps, route
them round each side of the outer head
restraint/headrest.
2. Secure the tether strap to the tether an-
chor point
2on the seatback behind the

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

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.

child restraint. Use another seating position
for the child restraint. INFINITI recommends
that all child restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Preteen children should be seated in
the rear seat. For further information see
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.
Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described
below in accordance with U.S. regulations. If
the front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not
inflate in a crash. The driver air bag and other
air bags in your vehicle are not part of this
system. The purpose of the regulation is to
help reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag to be automatically turned OFF
under some conditions. Certain sensors are
used to meet the requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this ve-
hicle is a pressure sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the seat
by weight. For example, if a child up to the
approximate size and weight of a one year
old is properly restrained is in the front pas-
senger seat, the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System is designed to turn the front passen-
ger air bag OFF. For a properly restrained
child who is larger than the approximate sizeand weight of a one year old, the front pas-
senger air bag may or may not be automati-
cally turned OFF, depending on the size of
the child and the type of child restraint being
used. After installing the child restraint and
positioning the child, place the ignition switch
in the ON position: if the BAG OFF> indicator light is illuminated, the
air bag is OFF. If the ON> indicator light is illuminated, the air bag
will inflate in a crash. Front passenger seat
adult occupants who are properly seated and
using the seat belt as outlined in this manual
should not cause the front passenger air bag
to be automatically turned OFF. For small
adults it may be turned OFF, however if the
occupant takes his/her weight off the seat
cushion (for example, by not sitting upright,
by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by oth-
erwise being out of position), this could cause
the sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be
sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt
properly for the most effective protection by
the seat belt and supplemental air bag.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear seat.
INFINITI also recommends that appropriate
child restraints and booster seats be properly
installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible,
the occupant classification sensor is designed
to operate as described above to turn the
front passenger air bag OFF for specified
child restraints as required by the regulations.Failing to properly secure child restraints and
to use the ALR mode may allow the restraint
to tip or move in a collision or sudden stop.
This can also result in the passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF. For
additional information about proper use and
installation, refer to "Child restraints".
If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the front passenger air bag is designed not to
inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects
placed on the seat could result in air bag
inflation, because of the object's weight de-
tected by the occupant classification sensor.
Other conditions could also result in air bag
inflation, such as if a child is standing on the
seat, or if two children are on the seat, con-
trary to the instructions in this manual. Al-
ways be sure that you and all vehicle occu-
pants are seated and restrained properly.
If the automatic front passenger air bag de-
activation system detects that:
•The front passenger seat is unoccupied,
the indica-
tor light lights up after the system self-test
and remains lit. This indicates that the
front passenger front air bag is disabled.
