FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the cargoarea 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 se-
riously 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
luggage is on the rear seats.
∙ Head restraints should be adjusted prop- erly as they may provide significant pro-
tection against injury in an accident. Al-
ways 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 pas-
sengers or damage to the vehicle in case
of sudden braking or an accident.

CAUTION
When operating the 3rd row power seat-
back return, make sure that the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P
(Park) position.
WARNING
∙ When the seat is returned to the normalseating position, the head restraints
must be returned to the upright position
to properly protect vehicle occupants.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the 3rd row seats when they
are in the fold-down position. In a colli-
sion, people riding in these areas 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 3rd row seats when
occupants are in the 3rd row seat area or
any luggage is on the 3rd row 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.
∙ Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other ve-
hicle safety systems. They may provide ad-
ditional protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjustable head re-
straints must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the adjust-
ment after someone else uses the seat. Do
not attach anything to the head restraint
stalks or remove the head restraint. Do not
use the seat if the head restraint has been
removed. If the head restraint was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust the
head restraint before an occupant uses the
seating position. Failure to follow these in-
structions can reduce the effectiveness of
the head restraints. This may increase the
risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
∙ Your vehicle is equipped with a head re- straint that may be integrated, adjustable
or non-adjustable.
∙ Adjustable head restraints have multiple notches along the stalk to lock them in a
desired adjustment position.
∙ The non-adjustable head restraints have a single locking notch to secure them to
the seat frame.

WARNING
When the seat is returned to the normal
seating position, the head restraint must be
returned to the upright position to properly
protect vehicle occupants.
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.
Some states, provinces or territories require
that seat belts be worn at all times when a
vehicle is being driven.

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

WARNING
∙ Every person who drives or rides in thisvehicle 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 adjustedto 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.
SSS0134SSS0016
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-17

WARNING
∙ Always route the shoulder belt over yourshoulder 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 sys-
tem may result in serious personal injury. ∙ Once seat belt pretensioner(s) have acti-
vated, 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.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
The driver’s front seat is equipped with a seat
belt warning light.
The warning light, located on the instrument
panel, will show the status of the driver’s seat
belt.
For additional information, refer to “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders”
in the “Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.
CHILD SAFETY
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 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.
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
∙ Front-facing child restraint
∙ Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year old
and less than 9 kg (20 lbs.) should be placed in
rear-facing child restraints. Front-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 front-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.
LRS0786
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-19

Some states, provinces or territories require
the use of approved child restraints for in-
fants and small children. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Child restraints” in this sec-
tion.
Also, there are other types of child restraints
available for larger children for additional
protection.
All child restraints should be installed in the
rear seat. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat. This is
especially important because your vehicle
may have a supplemental restraint system
(air bag system) for the front passenger. For
additional information, refer to “Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS)” in this sec-
tion.
Infants
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear facing child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that infants and small
children be placed in child restraints. You
should choose a child restraint that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
Small children
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at
least 9 kg (20 lbs.) 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. 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. For
a 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. Once the
child has grown so the shoulder belt is no
longer on or near the face and neck and the
lap belt can be positioned properly across the
lower hips or upper thighs, use the seat belt
without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat
and do not allow a child in the cargo area.
The child could be seriously injured or killed
in a sudden stop or collision.
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 abdominal area.
Contact your doctor for specific recommen-
dations.

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 occu-
pants. This helps reduce the risk of injury in a
collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the
following emergency conditions:∙ During emergency braking.
∙ During sudden steering maneuvers.
∙ Activation of the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian Detection
system (if so equipped). For additional
information, refer to “Forward Emer-
gency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian De-
tection system” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
∙ In the event of certain types of rollover collisions. The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when:
∙ the seat belt is not fastened.
∙ the vehicle speed is under 15 km/h (10 mph) during emergency braking.
∙ the vehicle speed is under 30 km/h (19 mph) during sudden steering maneu-
vers.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when the brake pedal is not depressed except
when sudden steering maneuvers occur and
the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with
Pedestrian Detection system (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 unfastened, 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.
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the motor cannot retract the seat belt when
the seat belt is fastened or unfastened, it may
indicate the pre-crash seat belt system has a malfunction. 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 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 under
the lap belt and receive serious internal
injuries.
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-21

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the re-tractor and insert the tongue into the
buckle
Auntil 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 retractor. 3. Position the lap belt portion
low and
snug on the hipsBas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
C.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 re-
straints” in this section.
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 tension.
It can also change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, 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 com-
pletely secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
