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.
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. Fora 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 adjusted 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.
LRS2690
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-21

“Forward-facing child restraint in-
stallation using the seat belts”
(P. 1-34).
– Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front seat.
An inflating air bag could seriously in-
jure or kill a child. A rear-facing child
restraint must only be used in the rear
seat.
– Be sure to purchase a child restraint
that will fit the child and vehicle.
Some child restraints may not fit
properly in your vehicle.
– Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The
child restraint will not be properly in-
stalled using the damaged anchorage,
and a child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision.
– Never use the anchor points for adult
seat belts, or other items. –
A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
– Keep seatbacks as upright as possible
after fitting the child restraint.
– Infants and children should always be
placed in an appropriate child re-
straint while in the vehicle.
• When the child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the LATCH system
or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, loose objects can injure occupants
or damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can be-
come very hot. Check the seating surface
and buckles before placing a child in the
child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal child
restraint anchor system, referred to as the
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system. Some child restraints in-
clude rigid or webbing-mounted attachments
that can be connected to these anchors. For
additional information, see “LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system”
(P. 1-24). If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints
for infants and children of various sizes.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:
• Choose only a restraint with a label certify-
ing that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
• Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle's
seat and seat belt system.
• If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is
designed for your child's height and weight.
Always follow all recommended
procedures.
• If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is less than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg),
you may use either the LATCH anchors or
the seat belt to install the child restraint (not
both at the same time).
• If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5
kg), use the vehicle's seat belt (not the lower
anchors) to install the child restraint.
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-23

• Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-facturer's instructions for installation.
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. Canadian law requires the top
tether strap on forward-facing child re-
straints be secured to the designated anchor
point on the vehicle.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system
compatible child restraints. This system may
also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX
compatible system. With this system, you do
not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure
the child restraint unless the combined
weight of the child and child restraint exceeds
65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined weight of
the child and child restraint is greater than 65
lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehicle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the child re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions for installation.
The LATCH lower anchor points are provided
to install child restraints in the following po-
sitions only:
• Rear bench seat – outboard seating
positions
LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use and installation of child
restraints could result in serious injury or
death of a child or other passengers in a
sudden stop or collision:
– Attach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown in
the illustration.
– Do not secure a child restraint in the rear
center position using the LATCH system
anchors. The child restraint will not be
secured properly.

RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
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 anchorages, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-20) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-22) be-
fore installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation. Follow these steps to install a rear-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.

4. After attaching the child restraint, test itbefore 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. For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-20) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-22) be-
fore installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belts in

RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-20) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-22) be-
fore installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation.
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.
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. For additional information,
see “Installing top tether strap” (P. 1-38).
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. 3. The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed. For additional infor-
mation, see “Head restraints/headrests”

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. Also, it can change the operation
of the front passenger air bag. For addi-
tional information, see “Front passenger
air bag and status light” (P. 1-52). For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-20) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-22) be-
fore installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation. Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the rear seats or in the front passenger
seat:
1.
If you must install a child restraint in the
front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child re-
straints for infants must be used in the
rear-facing direction and, therefore,
must not be used in the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed. For additional infor-
mation, see “Head restraints/headrests”
(P. 1-7).
WRS0699
Forward-facing (front passenger seat) – step 1
1-34Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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 your seat belts
to help reduce the risk or severity of in-
jury in various kinds of accidents.
• The front passenger air bag and front
passenger supplemental knee air bag will
not inflate if the passenger air bag status
light is lit. For additional information,
see “Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-52). •
The seat belts and the front 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 injuries from the front air
bag if you are up against it when it in-
flates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from
the steering wheel or instrument panel.
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
(weight sensor) that turns the front pas-
senger air bag and front passenger
supplemental knee air bag OFF under
some conditions. 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 acci-
dent. For additional information, see
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-52).
• 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.
