forward. Release the lever to lock the seat-
back in position.
The recline feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. For additional information, see “Pre-
cautions on seat belt usage” (P. 1-11). Also,
the seatback can be reclined to allow occu-
pants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and
the shift lever is in P (Park).
WARNING
• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
• 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 and adjust the seat belt
properly. For additional information, see
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P. 1-11).
ARMRESTS
The rear bench seat comes equipped with an
armrest. Pull the armrest down as shown.
FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
• Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seats when they are in
the fold-down position. In a collision,
people riding in these areas without
proper restraints are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed. •
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 ad-
justed properly as they may provide sig-
nificant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been removed
for any reason.
• If the head restraints/headrests are re-
moved for any reason, they should be se-
curely stored to prevent them from caus-
ing injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or an
accident.

•When returning the seatbacks to the up-
right position, be certain they are com-
pletely secured in the latched position. If
they are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or sud-
den stop.
• Properly secure all cargo to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
Folding the rear bench seat
To fold the rear bench seat flat for maximum
cargo hauling:
1. Remove any object from the rear seat sit- ting area
2. Move each side of the rear seat com- pletely backwards. For additional infor-
mation, see “Forward and backward”
(P. 1-4).
3. Make sure that the head restraints/ headrests are lowered. For additional in-
formation, see “Lower” (P. 1-11). 4. Stow the rear seat belts in the seat belt
hooks found on the sides of the vehicle.
5. Lift up on the recline lever on the side of the outboard seats or pull the lever on
either side of the cargo area to fold the
seatbacks flat.
• If one of the rear seatbacks does not fold flat completely, move the corre-
sponding Front Power Seat forward,
push up the seatback until it latches in
place and remove the head restraints/
headrests. For additional information,
see “Remove” (P. 1-9).

6. To return the rear bench seats to a seatingposition, push up on the seatback until it
latches in place.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 stalk, ex-
cept for genuine INFINITI accessories spe-
cifically tested for use with the vehicle’s
head restraint/headrest stalk. Do not re-
move the head restraint/headrest. Do not
use the seat if the head restraint/headrest
has been removed. If the head restraint/
headrest was removed, reinstall and prop-
erly adjust the head restraint/headrest
before an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion. Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision. The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints/headrests.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted and you are sitting upright and well
back in your seat with both feet on the floor,
your chances of being injured or killed in a
collision and/or the severity of injury may be
greatly reduced. INFINITI strongly encour-
ages you and all of your passengers to buckle
up every time you drive, even if your seating
position includes a supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories specify that seat belts be worn at
all times when a vehicle is being driven.

SEAT BELTS
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-11

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.WARNING
• The seat belt should be properly adjusted
to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce
the effectiveness of the entire restraint
system and increase the chance or sever-
ity of injury in an accident. Serious injury
or death can occur if the seat belt is not
worn properly.

WARNING
• Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put the belt behind your back, under 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
effectiveness.
• 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 rout-
ing or tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system. Modi-
fying or tampering with the seat belt
system may result in serious personal
injury.
• Once a seat belt pretensioner(s) have ac-
tivated, 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 retrac-
tors and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after any collision. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. INFINITI recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate prop-
erly. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be inspected
and replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
• All child restraints and attaching hard-
ware should be inspected after any colli-
sion. Always follow the restraint manu-
facturer's inspection instructions and
replacement recommendations. The
child restraints should be replaced if they
are damaged.
