LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in
mind:
.Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
. Check the booster seat in your vehicle to
be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
LRS0453
. Make sure the child’s head will be
properly supported by the booster seat
or vehicle 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
adjustments to be sure the booster seat
is compatible with your child. Always
follow all recommended procedures.
LRS0464
All U.S. states and Canadian 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.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats or
the front passenger seat.

CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode
when using a booster seat with the seat
belts.
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety”, “Child restraints” and “Boos-
ter seats” sections earlier in this section

Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the rear seat or in the front passenger seat:
SSS0640
1. If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rear-
most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a forward-facing direc-
tion. Always follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions.
LRS0454
Front passenger position
3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when the
booster seat is removed. See “Head
restraints/headrests” (P.1-13) for head
restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or a headrest
and it is interfering with the proper

booster seat fit, try another seating
position or a different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure
to follow the booster seat manufac-
turer’s instructions for adjusting the seat
belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up
extra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the top, middle portion
of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow
the booster seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in- structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in “Seat belts” (P.1-18).
SSS1099
7. If the booster seat is installed in the frontpassenger seat, push the ignition switch
to the ON position. The front passenger
air bag status light
may or may not
illuminate depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat used.
See “Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P.1-60).

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLE-
MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information con-
cerning the following systems.
.Driver and passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System)
. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag
. Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head
and chest of the driver and front passenger
in certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
cushion the impact force to the chest and
pelvis area of the driver and front passenger
in certain side impact collisions. The supple-
mental side air bag is designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag system: This
system can help cushion the impact force
to the head of occupants in front and rear
(2nd and 3rd) outboard seating positions in certain side impact or rollover collisions. In a
side impact, the curtain air bags are designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. In a rollover, the curtain air bags
on both sides are designed to inflate. Under
both side-impact and rollover situations, the
curtain air bags will remain inflated for a
short period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to
supplement the crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat
belts and are not a substitute for them. Seat
belts should always be correctly worn and
the occupant seated a suitable distance
away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”
(P.1-18) for instructions and precautions on
seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

SSS0131
SSS0132
WARNING
.The supplemental front air bags or-
dinarily will not inflate in the event of
a side impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision. Al-
ways wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
. The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the front passenger air bag
status light is lit or if the front
passenger seat is unoccupied. See
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P.1-60).
. The seat belts and the front air bags
are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the
seat. The front air bags inflate with
great force. Even with the INFINITI
Advanced Air Bag System, if you are
unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways or out of position in any
way, you are at greater risk of injury
or death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries from
the front air bag if you are up against
it when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far-away
as practical from the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Always use the
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-53

1-54Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
seat belts.
. The driver and front passenger seat
belt buckles are equipped with sen-
sors that detect if the seat belts are
fastened. The Advanced Air Bag
System monitors the severity of a
collision and seat belt usage then
inflates the air bags. Failure to prop-
erly wear seat belts can increase the
risk or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
. The front passenger seat is equipped
with occupant classification sensors
(weight sensors) that turn the front
passenger air bag OFF under some
conditions. This sensor is only used in
this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt
can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident. See “Front
passenger air bag and status light”
(P.1-60).
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could increase
the risk of injury if the front air bag
inflates.

WARNING
.Never let children ride unrestrained
or extend their hands or face out of
the window. Do not attempt to hold
them in your lap or arms. Some
examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the illustrations.
. Children may be severely injured or
killed when the front air bags, side air
bags or curtain air bags inflate if they
are not properly restrained. Pre-
teens and children should be properly
restrained in the rear seat, if possible.
. Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front
seat. An inflating front air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. See
“Child restraints” (P.1-31) for details.

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted cur-
tain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bags:
.The side-impact supplemental air
bags ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a front impact, rear impact,
rollover, or lower severity side colli-
sion. Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of accidents.
. The curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a front
impact, rear impact, or lower severity
side collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.
. The seat belts, the side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. The side air bags
and curtain air bags inflate with
great force. Do not allow anyone to
place their hand, leg or face near the
side air bags on the side of the
seatback of the front seat or near
the side roof rails. Do not allow
anyone sitting in the front seats or
rear outboard seats to extend their
hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the previous illustrations.
. When sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the side air bag inflates, you
may be seriously injured. Be espe-
cially careful with children, who
should always be properly restrained.
Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the illustra-
tions.

.Do not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
side air bags inflation.
