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.

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.

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.

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.
REAR-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used
when installing 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.
Rear-facing child restraints must not be
used on the front seats.
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the "Child safety" and
"Child restraints" before installing a child re-
straint.LRS0673Z

straints fit in all types of vehicles.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 1
through 6.After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the "Child safety" and
"Child restraints" before installing a child re-
straint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lb (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lb (29.5 kg), use the vehicle
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer's instructions for in-
stallation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint in the rear seats using
the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the LATCH lower anchors.
Check to make sure the LATCH attach-
ment is properly attached to the lower
anchors.

Installing top tether strap
The child restraint top tether strap must be
used when installing the child restraint with
the LATCH lower anchor attachments. First,
secure the child restraint with the LATCH
lower anchors (rear outboard seating posi-
tions only).
The LATCH anchor points are provided to
install child restraints in the rear outboard
seating positions only, as shown. Do not at-
tempt to install a child restraint in the center
position using the LATCH anchors.
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 attachadult seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed us-
ing the damaged anchorage, and a child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
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
child restraint as shown.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions to remove
any slack.
If you have any questions when installing
a top tether strap, it is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.

•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.
