WARNING
•The seatback should not be reclined any
more than needed for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and be-
ing injured is increased.
•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 properly. (See
"Seat belts" later in this section.)
•After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others, or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or death
to people and pets.
•Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls or make the
vehicle move. Unattended children could
become involved in serious accidents.
•Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. The seat may move
suddenly and could cause loss of control
of the vehicle.
CAUTION
•When moving the seats forward or
backward, or returning a reclined seat-
back to its upright position, make sure
you hold onto the seatback while oper-
ating. If the seatback is not held, the
seat or seatback may move suddenly
and could cause injury.
•When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

REAR SEATS
WARNING
•Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seat when it is in the
fold-down position. Use of these areas
by passengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury or death in
an accident or sudden stop.
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
•Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in
your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat
belt properly.
•Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
•Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any luggage is on the rear seats.
–Make sure that the seat path is clear
before moving the seat.
–Be careful not to allow hands or feet
to get caught or pinched in the seat.
•Head restraints/headrests should be
adjusted properly as they may provide
significant protection against injury in
an accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been re-
moved for any reason.
•If the head restraints/headrests are re-
moved for any reason, they should be
securely stored to prevent them from
causing injury to passengers or damage
to the vehicle in case of sudden braking
or an accident.
•When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an accident
or sudden stop.

Indicates that the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
Indicates that the seating position is
equipped with a non-removable head rest.
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this sec-
tion. Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint/headrest stalks or
remove the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, reinstalland properly adjust the head restraint/
headrest before an occupant uses the seat-
ing position. Failure to follow these in-
structions can reduce the effectiveness of
the head restraints/headrests. This may
increase the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision.
•Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints/headrests that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
•Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them
in a desired adjustment position.
•The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch to
secure them to the seat frame.
•Proper Adjustment:
– For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the cen-
ter of the head restraint/headrest.
– If your ear position is still higher than
the recommended alignment, place the
head restraint/headrest at the highest
position.

1-8Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•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.
1-12Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•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

WARNING
•After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and then try to move the
shoulder belt down to make sure that it
is securely fixed in position.
•The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position that is best
for you. Failure to do so may reduce the
effectiveness of the entire restraint sys-
tem and increase the chance or severity
of injury in an accident.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it
is not possible to properly fit the lap/shoulder
belt and fasten it, an extender that is compat-
ible with the installed seat belts is available
that can be purchased. The extender adds
approximately 8 in (200 mm) of length and
may be used for either the driver or front
passenger seating position. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for as-
sistance with purchasing an extender if an
extender is required.
WARNING
•Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which made the
original equipment seat belts, should be
used with the INFINITI seat belts.
•Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an ex-
tender. Such unnecessary use could re-
sult in serious personal injury in the
event of an accident.
•Never use seat belt extenders to install
child restraints. If the child restraint is
not secured properly, the child could be
seriously injured in a collision or a sud-
den stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
•To clean the seat belt webbing,apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are com-
pletely dry.
•If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide
of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may
retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt
guide with a clean, dry cloth.
•Periodically check to see that the seat belt
and the metal components, such as buck-
les, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and
anchors, work properly. If loose parts, de-
terioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-
sembly should be replaced.
1-16Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
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 seri-
ously injured or killed if the seat belt re-
tracts and becomes 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.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available
from many other sources, including doctors,
teachers, government traffic safety offices,
and community organizations. Every child is
different, so be sure to learn the best way to
transport your child.There are three basic types of child restraint
systems:•Rear-facing child restraint
•Forward-facing child restraint
•Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year and
less than 20 lb (9 kg) should be placed in
rear-facing child restraints. Forward-facing
child restraints are available for children who
outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are
at least 1 year old. Booster seats are used to
help position a vehicle lap/ shoulder belt on a
child who can no longer use a forward-facing
child restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protec-
tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit
them properly. The shoulder belt may come
too close to the face or neck. The lap belt
may not fit over their small hip bones. In an
accident, an improperly fitting seat belt
could cause serious or fatal injury. Always
use appropriate child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved childrestraints for infants and small children. See
"Child restraints" for more information.
A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle
by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor
and Tethers for CHildren) system or with the
vehicle seat belt. For additional information,
refer to "Child restraints".
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens and
children be restrained in the rear seat. Stud-
ies show that children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint system
(air bag system) for the front passenger. (See
"Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)"
later in this section.)
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that infants be placed
in child restraints that comply with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You should
choose a child restraint which fits your ve-
hicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
CHILD SAFETY
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-17

SMALL CHILDREN
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at
least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in a rear-
facing child restraint as long as possible up to
the height or weight limit of the child re-
straint. Children who outgrow the height or
weight limit of the rear-facing child restraint
and are at least 1 year old should be secured
in a forward-facing child restraint with a har-
ness. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
for minimum and maximum weight and
height recommendations. INFINITI recom-
mends that small children be placed in child
restraints that comply with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. You should choose
a child restraint that fits your vehicle and
always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use.
LARGER CHILDREN
Children should remain in a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness until they reach
the maximum height or weight limit allowed
by the child restraint manufacturer.
Children who are too large for child restraints
should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts which are provided. The seat belt may
not fit properly if the child is less than 4 ft 9 in
(142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40 lbs(18 kg) and 80 lbs (36 kg). A booster seat
should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit.
Once a child outgrows the height or weight
limit of the harness-equipped forward-facing
child restraint, INFINITI recommends that
the child be placed in a commercially available
booster seat to obtain proper seat belt fit. For
a seat belt to fit properly, the booster seat
should raise the child so that the shoulder belt
is properly positioned across the chest and
the top, middle portion of the shoulder. The
shoulder belt should not cross the neck or
face and should not fall off the shoulder. The
lap belt should lie snugly across the lower hips
or upper thighs, not the abdomen. A booster
seat can only be used in seating positions that
have a three-point type seat belt. The
booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and
have a label certifying that it complies with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
A booster seat should be used until the child
can pass the seat belt fit test below:
•Are the child’s back and hips against the
vehicle seatback?
•Is the child able to sit without slouching?
•Do the child’s knees bend easily over the
front edge of the seat with feet flat on the
floor?
•Can the child safely wear the seat belt
(lap belt low and snug across the hips
and shoulder belt across mid-chest and
shoulder)?
•Is the child able to use the properly ad-
justed head restraint/headrest?
•Will the child be able to stay in position for
the entire ride?
If you answered no to any of these questions,
the child should remain in a booster seat us-
ing a three-point type seat belt.
NOTE
Laws in some communities may follow dif-
ferent guidelines. Check local and state
regulations to confirm your child is using the
correct restraint system before traveling.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat
and do not allow a child in the cargo area.
The child could be seriously injured or killed
in a sudden stop or collision.
