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 fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any cargo is on the rear seats.
. Head restraints 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 removed for any
reason.
. If the head restraints are removed 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 acci-
dent or sudden 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.
. When folding the bench seat seatback
down for maximum storage, make sure
the seat base is in the latched position
by rocking the seat base. If the seat base
is not properly secured, cargo stored on
top of a folded seatback may become a
projectile causing personal injury or
vehicle damage.
CAUTION
.When folding the 2nd row seat for
maximum cargo hauling, be sure that
cargo does not contact the center con-
sole of the captain’ s seat (if so
equipped) to avoid possible damage to
the console.
. When folding or returning the seat(s) to
the upright position, to avoid injury to
yourself and others:
—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.

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 an accident and/or the severity of
injury may be greatly reduced. INFINITI
strongly encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every time you
drive, even if your seating position in-
cludes 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.
