WARNING
∙ Do not ride in a moving vehicle when theseatback 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. ∙ 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 properly. For additional
information, refer to “Precautions on
seat belt usage” in this section.
∙ After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
∙ Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly acti-
vate switches or controls or make the ve-
hicle move. Unattended children could
become involved in serious accidents. ∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause
a significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
∙ Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driv- ing so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation. The seat may move sud-
denly and could cause loss of control of
the vehicle.
∙ The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts
are most effective when the passenger
sits well back and straight up in the seat.
If the seatback is reclined, the risk of slid-
ing under the lap belt and being injured is
increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damage.

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.

shoulder. Release the adjustment button to
lock the shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING
∙ After adjustment, release the adjust-ment button and try to move the shoul-
der belt anchor up and down to make sure
it is securely fixed in position.
∙ The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position best for you.
Failure to do so may reduce the effective-
ness of the entire restraint system and
increase the chance or severity of injury
in an accident.
∙ The shoulder belt should rest on the middle of the shoulder. It must not rest
against the neck.
∙ Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any way.
∙ Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is secured by trying to move the shoulder
belt anchor up and down after
adjustment.
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 compat-
ible with the installed seat belts is available
for purchase. The extender adds approxi-
mately 200 mm (8 in) 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 posi- tion
∙ 2nd and 3rd row seating position
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for assistance with purchasing an ex-
tender 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 stan- dard seat belt should not use an extender.
Such unnecessary use could result in seri-
ous 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.

WARNING
∙ Do not use towels, books, pillows orother items in place of a booster seat.
Items such as these may move during
normal driving or a collision and result in
serious injury or death. Booster seats are
designed to be used with a lap/shoulder
belt. Booster seats are designed to prop-
erly route the lap and shoulder portions
of the seat belt over the strongest por-
tions of a child’s body to provide the
maximum protection during a collision.
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in
mind: ∙ Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
∙ Make sure the child’s head will be prop- erly supported by the booster seat or ve-
hicle seat. The seatback must be at or
above the center of the child’s ears. For
example, if a low back booster seat is
chosen, the vehicle seatback must be at
or above the center of the child’s ears. If
the seatback is lower than the center of
the child’s ears, a high back booster seat
should be used. ∙ If the booster seat is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various ad-
justments to be sure the booster seat is
compatible with your child. Always fol-
low all recommended procedures.
Some states, provinces or territories require
that infants and small children be restrained
in an approved child restraint at all times
while the vehicle is being operated.
WARNING
∙ Improper use of a booster seat can in- crease the risk or severity of injury for
both the child and other occupants of the
vehicle.
∙ Follow all of the booster seat manufac- turer’s instructions for installation and
use. When purchasing a booster seat, be
sure to select one which will fit your child
and vehicle. It may not be possible to
properly install some types of booster
seats in your vehicle.
∙ If the booster seat and seat belt is not used properly, the risk of a child being
injured or killed in a collision or a sudden
stop greatly increases. ∙ Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the booster seat, but as up-
right as possible.
∙ After placing the child in the booster seat and fastening the seat belt, make sure
the shoulder portion of the belt is away
from the child’s face and neck and the lap
portion of the belt does not cross the
abdomen.
∙ Do not put the shoulder belt behind the child or under the child’s arm. If you must
install a booster seat in the front seat,
refer to “Booster seat installation” in this
section.
∙ When your booster seat is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in case
of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check
the seating surface and buckles before
placing your child in the booster seat.

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seat
belt buckle sensor and occupant classifica-
tion sensor (weight sensor). Inflator opera-
tion is based on the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage for the driver. For the front
passenger, the occupant classification sensor
is also monitored. Based on information from
the sensor, only one front air bag may inflate
in a crash, depending on the crash severity
and whether the front occupants are belted
or unbelted. Additionally, the front passenger
air bag may be automatically turned off un-
der some conditions, depending on the
weight detected on the passenger seat and
how the seat belt is used. If the front passen-
ger air bag is OFF, the front passenger air
bag status light will be illuminated. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front passenger
air bag and status light” in this section. One
front air bag inflating does not indicate im-
proper performance of the system.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information about
the system. If you are considering modifica-
tion of your vehicle due to a disability, you
may also contact INFINITI. Contact informa-
tion is contained in the front of this Owner’s
Manual.When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud
noise may be heard, followed by the release
of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does
not indicate a fire. Care should be taken to
not inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breathing
condition should get fresh air promptly.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on the
face and chest of the front occupants. They
can help save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating front air bag may cause
facial abrasions or other injuries. Front air
bags do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
Even with INFINITI Advanced Air Bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the driver
and passenger seated upright as far as prac-
tical away from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. The front air bags inflate quickly
in order to help protect the front occupants.
Because of this, the force of the front air bag
inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against, the
front air bag module during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a col-
lision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.
1-56Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Front passenger air bag and status light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. Read this section carefully to learn
how it operates. Proper use of the seat,
seat belt and child restraints is necessary
for most effective protection. Failure to
follow all instructions in this manual con-
cerning the use of seats, seat belts and child
restraints can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident.Status light
The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensor (weight sen-
sor) that turns the front passenger air bag on
or off depending on the weight applied to the
front passenger seat. The status of the front
passenger air bag (ON or OFF) is indicated by
the front passenger air bag status light
which is located on the instrument panel.
After the ignition switch is placed in the "ON"
position, the front passenger air bag status
light on the instrument panel illuminates for
about 7 seconds and then turns off or re-
mains illuminated depending on the front
passenger seat occupied status.
The light operates as follows:
CONDITION DESCRIPTION PASSENGER AIR BAG
INDICATOR LIGHT () FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS
Empty Empty front passenger seat ON (illuminated) INHIBITED
Nobody/Somebody Bag or Child or Child Restraint or
Small Adult in front passenger seat ON (illuminated)
INHIBITED
Adult Adult in the front passenger seat OFF (dark) ACTIVATED
In addition to the above, certain objects
placed on the front passenger seat may also
cause the light to operate as described above
depending on their weight.For additional information, refer to “Normal
operation” and “Troubleshooting” in this sec-
tion.
