2003 INFINITI G35 lock

Unfastening the seat belts To unfasten the belt, press the button on the
buckle. The seat belt will automatically retract.
Checking seat belt operation Your seat belt retractors are designed to lock
belt movement using two separate methods:
O when the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
O when the vehicle slows down rapidly.
You can check their operation as follows:
O grasp the shoulder belt and pull quickly forward. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check
or if you have any questions about belt opera-
tion, see your INFINITI retailer.
Shoulder belt height adjustment
(For Sedan front seats) The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best suited for you.
(See ªPrecautions on seat belt usageº earlier
in this section.) To lower, pull the release
button, and then move the shoulder belt an-
chor to the desired position, so that the belt
passes over the shoulder. Release the adjust-
ment button to lock the shoulder belt anchor
into position.
To raise, move the adjuster up to the desired
position while pulling the button.SSS0021 SPA0739

INSTALLATION ON REAR SEAT
OUTBOARD OR CENTER
POSITIONS
WARNINGO The three-point belt on your vehicle is
equipped with a locking mode retrac-
tor which must be used when install-
ing a child restraint.
O Failure to do so will result in the child
restraint not being properly secured.
It could tip over or otherwise be un-
secured and cause injury to the child
in a sudden stop or collision.
Front facing When you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard or center seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. It
can be placed in a front facing direction,
depending on the size of the child. Always
follow the restraint manufacturer's instruc-
tions. SSS0153 SSS0154

2. 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 manu-
facturer's instructions for belt routing. 3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt
is fully extended. At this time, the belt
retractor is in the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode). It reverts back to
emergency locking mode when the belt is
fully retracted. 4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the belt
to remove any slack in the belt.SSS0043 SSS0107 SSS0062

5. Before placing the child in the child re-
straint, use force to tilt the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to make
sure that it is securely held in place. It
should not move more than 1 inch.
6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt out
of the retractor. If you cannot pull any more
belt webbing out of the retractor, the belt is
in the automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use. If the
belt is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 6. After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is allowed to wind back into the
retractor, the automatic locking mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled; the seat belt only
locks during a sudden stop or impact.
Rear facing When you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard or center seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. The
direction of the child restraint depends on
the type of the child restraint and the size of
the child. Always follow the restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.SSS0108 SSS0155

INSTALLATION ON FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT
WARNINGO Never install a rear facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental air bags inflate with
great force. A rear facing child re-
straint could be struck by the supple-
mental air bag in a crash and could
seriously injure or kill your child. O INFINITI recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a front
facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger
seat to the rearmost position.
O A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
O The three-point belt in your vehicle is
equipped with a locking mode retrac-
tor which must be used when install- ing a child restraint.
O Failure to use the retractor's locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The child
restraint could tip over or otherwise
be unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision. SSS0129

Front facing If you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat. It should be placed in a
front facing direction only. Move the seat
to the rearmost position. Always follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
Child restraints for infants must be used
in the rear facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat. 2. 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. 3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt
is fully extended. At this time, the belt
retractor is in the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode). It reverts back to
emergency locking mode when the belt is
fully retracted.SSS0135 SSS0055 SSS0113
