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

WARNINGO After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt down to make sure it is
securely fixed in position.
O The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
best for you. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
Shoulder belt guide (Coupe) The shoulder arm can be adjusted to allow
easier access to the shoulder belt. The arm
can also be folded down to allow rear seat
passengers easier access.
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 is available which is
compatible with the installed seat belts. The
extender adds approximately 8 inches (200
mm) of length and may be used for either the
driver or front passenger seating position. See your INFINITI retailer for assistance if the
extender is required.
WARNING O Only INFINITI belt extenders, made by
the same company which made the
original equipment belts, should be
used with INFINITI belts.
O Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal in-
jury in the event of an accident.
O Never use seat belt extenders to in-
stall child restraints. If the child re-
straint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured in a
collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE O To clean the seat belt webbings, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then brush the webbing, wipe it with a cloth
and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not allow SSS0222

When you install a LATCH system compatible
child restraint to the lower anchor attachments
in the rear seat, follow these steps.
WARNINGInspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area
and feeling to make sure there are no
obstructions over the LATCH system
anchors, such as seat belt webbing or
seat cushion material. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly if the
LATCH system anchors are obstructed.
1. To install the LATCH system compatible
child restraint, adjust the height of the child
restraint LATCH system anchor attach-
ments to the anchor points on the rear seat.
2. Insert the anchor attachments into the an-
chor points. If the child restraint is equipped
with a top tether, see ªTop tether strap child
restraintº later in this section for installation
instructions.
3. After attaching the child restraint and before
placing the child in it, use force to tilt the
child restraint from side to side and tug it
forward to make sure that the child restraint is securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch.
4. Check to make sure that the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use.
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
WARNING O The child restraint anchor point is
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stance is it to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses. SSS0192A

WARNINGSee your INFINITI retailer and have it
checked if the brake pedal height does
not return to normal.
Brake pad wear indicators The disc brake pads on your vehicle have
audible wear indicators. When a brake pad
requires replacement, it will make a high
pitched scraping or screeching sound when
the vehicle is in motion whether or not the
brake pedal is depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the wear indi-
cator sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions, oc-
casional brake squeak, squeal or other noise
may be heard. Occasional brake noise during
light to moderate stops is normal and does not
affect the function or performance of the brake
system.
Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed. For additional information, see
ªPeriodic maintenance schedulesº in the ª9.
Maintenanceº section for maintenance inter-
vals. High performance sports brake pad occasion-
ally makes squeak, squeal or other braking
noise because of its very high friction coeffi-
cient.
These occasional brake noise is normal, but if
it continues, see your INFINITI retailer.
BRAKE BOOSTER Check the brake booster function as follows:
1. With the engine off, press and release the
brake pedal several times. When brake
pedal movement (distance of travel) re-
mains the same from one pedal application
to the next, continue on to the next step.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, start the
engine. The pedal height should drop a
little.
3. With the brake pedal depressed, stop the
engine. Keeping the pedal depressed for
about 30 seconds, the pedal height should
not change.
4. Run the engine for one minute without
depressing the brake pedal, then turn it off.
Depress the brake pedal several times. The
pedal travel distance will decrease gradu-
ally with each depression as the vacuum is
released from the booster. If the brakes do not operate properly, see your
INFINITI retailer.

tor is visible, the tire should be re-
placed.
O Improper service for a spare tire may
result in serious personal injury. If it
is necessary to repair the spare tire,
contact your INFINITI retailer.
O For additional information regarding
tires, refer to ªImportant Tire Safety
Informationº (US) or ªTire Safety In-
formationº (Canada) in the INFINITI
Warranty Information Booklet.
Replacing wheels and tires When replacing a tire, use the same size,
speed rating and load carrying capacity as
originally equipped. See ªSpecificationsº in the
ª10. Technical and consumer informationº sec-
tion for recommended types and sizes of tires
and wheels.
WARNINGO The use of tires other than those
recommended or the mixed use of tires of different brands, construction
(bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread
patterns can adversely affect the ride,
braking, handling, ground clearance,
body-to-tire clearance, tire chain
clearance, speedometer calibration,
headlight aim and bumper height.
Some of these effects may lead to
accidents and could result in serious
personal injury.
O If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with wheels
which have the same offset dimen-
sion. Wheels of a different offset
could cause early tire wear, possibly
degraded vehicle handling character-
istics and/or interference with the
brake discs. Such interference can
lead to decreased braking efficiency
and/or early brake pad wear.
O Do not install a deformed wheel or
tire even if it has been repaired. Such
wheels or tires could have structural
damage and could fail without
warning. O The use of retread tires is not recom-
mended.
O For additional information regarding
tires, refer to ªImportant Tire Safety
Informationº (US) or ªTire Safety In-
formationº (Canada) in the INFINITI
Warranty Information Booklet.
Wheel balance Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle han-
dling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore, they
should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be performed
with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing
the rear wheels on the vehicle could lead to
transmission damage.
For additional information regarding tires, refer
to ªImportant Tire Safety Informationº (US) or
ªTire Safety Informationº (Canada) in the
INFINITI Warranty Information Booklet.
Care of wheels O Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle
to maintain their appearance.
O Clean the inner side of the wheels when the Do-it-yourself
