the rear seats:1.Child restraints for infants must be used
in the rear-facing direction and there-
fore must not be used in the front seat.
Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions. 2. Route the seat belt tongue through the

3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fullyextended. At this time, the seat belt re-
tractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts to the ELR mode when
the seat belt is fully retracted. 4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on
the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt. 5. Remove any additional slack from the
seat belt; press downward and rearward
firmly in the center of the child restraint

6. 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 seat belt 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 belt holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the seat
belt as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint. Not
all child restraints fit in all types of ve-
hicles. 7. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to each
use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 1 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled.

For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the “Child safety” and
“Child restraints” sections of this manual be-
fore installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint in the 2nd row outboard
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 infor-
mation, refer to “Installing top tether
strap (2nd row bench seat)” in this sec-
tion.

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 to obtain the correct child re-
straint fit. If the head restraint is re-
moved, store it in a secure place. Be sure
to reinstall the head restraint when the
child restraint is removed. For additional
information about head restraint adjust-
ment, refer to “Head restraints” in this
section.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is inter-
fering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a differ-
ent child restraint. 4. For child restraints that are equipped
with webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the an-
chor attachments. Press downward and
rearward firmly in the center of the child
restraint with your knee to compress the
vehicle seat cushion and seatback while
tightening the webbing of the anchor
attachments.
5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove
any slack.

hicles. 7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 3
through 6.
FORWARD-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. Also, it can change the operation
of the front passenger air bag. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light” in this section. For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the “Child safety” and
“Child restraints” sections of this manual be-
fore installing a child restraint.
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
restraints 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 to obtain the correct child re-
straint fit. If the head restraint is re-
moved, store it in a secure place. Be sure
to reinstall the head restraint when the
child restraint is removed. For additional
information about head restraint adjust-
ment, removal and installation, refer to
“Head restraints” in this section.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is inter-
fering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a differ-
ent child restraint. 3. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for belt
routing.
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 (rear seat installation
only). For additional information, refer to
“Installing top tether strap (2nd row
bench seat)” in this section. 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.

switch in the ON position. The front pas-
senger air bag status light
should
illuminate. If this light is not illuminated,

For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
∙ Infants and small children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint
while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a
child restraint or booster seat can result
in serious injury or death.
∙ Infants and small children should never be carried on your lap. It is not possible
for even the strongest adult to resist the
forces of a severe accident. The child
could be crushed between the adult and
parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the
same seat belt around both your child and
yourself.
∙ INFINITI recommends that the booster seat be installed in the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat. If you must
install a booster seat in the front seat,
refer to “Booster seat installation” in this
section ∙ A booster seat must only be installed in a
seating position that has a lap/shoulder
belt. Failure to use a three-point type
seat belt with a booster seat can result in
a serious injury in sudden stop or collision.
∙ Improper use or improper installation of a booster seat can increase the risk or se-
verity of injury for both the child and
other occupants of the vehicle and can
lead to serious injury or death in an
accident.
