PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad-
justed 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 encourages you and all of your passen-
gers 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.

1-16Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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 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.
SSS0134SSS0016
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-17

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 mal-
function 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
devices 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(s) have
activated, they cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. 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 recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision be replaced un-
less the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly. Seat belt assemblies
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.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
Both the driver’s and passenger’s front seats are
equipped with a seat belt warning light. The
warning light, located on the instrument panel,
will show the status of the driver and passenger
seat belt.
NOTE:
The front passenger seat belt warning light
will not light up if the seat is not occupied.
For additional information, refer to “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
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 run the lap/shoulder belt over your ab-
dominal area. Contact your doctor for specific
recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons use
seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH
COMFORT FUNCTION (front seats)
(if so equipped)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt with
a motor to help restrain front seat occupants. This
helps reduce the risk of injury in a collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the follow-
ing emergency conditions:● During emergency braking.
● During sudden steering maneuvers ●
Activation of the Forward Emergency Brak-
ing (FEB) (if so equipped) . For additional
information, refer to “Forward Emergency
Braking (FEB)” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.
● In the event of certain types of rollover colli-
sions.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active when: ● the seat belt is not fastened.
● the vehicle speed is under 10 mph (15 km/h)
during emergency braking.
● the vehicle speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h)
during sudden steering maneuvers or cer-
tain types of rollover collisions.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active when
the brake pedal is not depressed except when
sudden steering maneuvers occur and the For-
ward Emergency Braking (FEB) (if so equipped)
activates.
The motor also retracts the seat belt when the
seat belt is fastened or unfastened. When the
seat belt is fastened, the motor tightens the seat
belt for a snug fit. When the seat belt is unfas-
tened, the motor retracts the seat belt. If the seat
belt is not fully retracted, the motor retracts the
seat belt when the door is opened.
LRS0786
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-19

Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit up-
right and well back.
If the motor cannot retract the seat belt when the
seat belt is fastened or unfastened, it may indi-
cate the pre-crash seat belt system has a mal-
function. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to check and repair the system.
When the seat belt is retracted repeatedly in a
short period of time, the motor may not be able to
retract the seat belt. After 8 minutes, the motor
reactivates and retracts the seat belt. If the seat
belt still cannot be retracted by the motor, the
pre-crash seat belt system has a malfunction. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer to
check and repair the system.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
dangerous. 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 under the lap belt and
receive serious internal injuries.
● For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and
upright 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 activated, the
child can be seriously injured or killed if
the seat belt retracts and becomes
tight. This can occur even if the vehicle
is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to
release the child. If the seat belt cannot
be unbuckled or is already unbuckled,
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. For additional information,refer to “Seats” in this section. 2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the tongue into the buckleAuntil
you hear and feel the latch engage.
● The retractor is designed to lock dur-
ing a sudden stop or on impact. A
slow pulling motion permits the seat
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 re-
tractor.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
C. Be sure
the shoulder belt is routed over your shoul-
der 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 passengers 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” in this sec-
tion.
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode
should not be activated. If it is activated, it
may cause uncomfortable seat belt ten-
sion. It can also change the operation of
the front passenger air bag. For additional
information, refer to “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that the seatbacks are completely secured
in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be
injured in an accident or sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, press the button on the
buckle
1. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt
movement by two separate methods:
● When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
● When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

Seat belt hook
When the seat belt is not in use and when folding
down the rear seats, hook the rear seat belts on
the seat belt hooks.
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 compatible with
the installed seat belts is available for purchase.
The extender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm)
of length and may be used for either the driver or
front passenger seating position.Seat belt extenders are available for the:
● Driver and front passenger seating position
● 2nd and 3rd row seating position
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for assistance 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 INFINITI seat belts.
● Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use could
result 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 or killed in a collision
or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
● To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpet.
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 completely
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
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires
and anchors, work properly. If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-
sembly should be replaced.
