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 seat belt to retract. Pull up
the shoulder belt to remove any slack
in the belt. 5. Before placing the child in the child
restraint, use force to push the child
restraint from side to side, and tug it
forward to make sure that it is se-
curely held in place. It should not
move more than 1 inch (25 mm). If it
does move more than 1 inch (25 mm),
pull again on the shoulder belt to fur-
ther tighten the child restraint. If un-
able to properly secure the restraint,
move the restraint to another rear
seating position and try again, or try a
different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles.SSS0361 SSS0424 SSS0302E

6. Check that the retractor is in the auto-
matic 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 retractor is in the
automatic locking mode.
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 3 through 7.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the ON po-
sition. The passenger air bag status
light should illuminate. If this
light is not illuminated, see ªFront
passenger air bag and status lightº
later in this section. Move the child re-
straint to another seating position.
Have the system checked by an IN-
FINITI dealer.
After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt is fully retracted, the auto-
matic locking mode (child restraint mode)
will be canceled. PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER SEATS
WARNING O Infants and small children should always
be placed in an appropriate child re-
straint while riding in the vehicle. Failure
to use a child restraint or booster seat
can result in serious injury or death.
O 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.
O 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.
O 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.
O An improperly installed booster seat
could lead to serious injury or death in
an accident.

seat is compatible with your child. Al-
ways follow all recommended proce-
dures.
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.
WARNINGO 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.
O 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.
O If the booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases. O Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the booster seat, but as up-
right as possible.
O 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.
O 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, see ªBooster seat installation on
front passenger seatº later in this sec-
tion.
O 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.

BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION ON
REAR SEAT OUTBOARD OR CENTER
POSITIONS
CAUTIONDo not use a lap/shoulder belt automatic
locking mode when using a booster seat
with the seat belts.
When you install a booster seat in the
rear seat, follow these steps: 1. Position the booster seat on the seat.
Only place it in a front-facing direc-
tion. Always follow the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions.
2. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. See ªHead restraint
adjustmentº earlier in this section. If
the head restraint is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to install
the head restraint when the booster
seat is removed. If the seating posi-
tion does not have an adjustable head restraint and it is interfering with the
proper booster seat fit, try another
seating position or a different booster
seat.
3. Position the lap portion of the seat
belt low and snug on the child's hips.
Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions for ad-
justing the belt routing.
4. 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 instructions for ad-
justing the belt routing.
5. Follow the warnings, cautions and in-
structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in the ªThree-point type
seat belts with retractorº earlier in
this section.LRS0452

BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION ON
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
WARNINGINFINITI recommends that child restraints be
installed in the rear seat. However, if you
must install a booster seat in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger seat to the
rearmost position. Also be sure that the front
passenger air bag status light is illuminated
to indicate the passenger air bag is OFF. See ªFront passenger air bag and status
lightº later in this section for details.
If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, follow these steps:
1. Move the seat to the rearmost posi-
tion.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat.
Only place it in a front-facing direc-
tion. Always follow the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions.
3. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. See ªHead restraint
adjustmentº earlier in this section. If
the head restraint is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to install
the head restraint when the booster
seat is removed. If the seating posi-
tion does not have an adjustable head
restraint 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
manufacturer's instructions for ad-
justing the belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the
seat belt toward the retractor to take

INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear
seat. INFINITI also recommends that ap-
propriate child restraints and booster
seats be properly installed in a rear seat.
If this is not possible, the occupant clas-
sification sensor and seat belt sensors
are designed to operate as described
above to turn the front passenger air bag
OFF for specified child restraints as re-
quired by the regulations. Failing to prop-
erly secure child restrains and to use the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) may allow the restraint to tip or
move in an accident or sudden stop. This
can also result in the passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF.
See ªChild restraintsº earlier in this sec-
tion for proper use and installation.
If the front passenger seat is not occu-
pied, the passenger air bag is designed
not to inflate in a crash. However, heavy
objects placed on the seat could result in
air bag inflation, because of the object's
weight detected by the occupant classifi-
cation sensor. Other conditions could also
result in air bag inflation, such as if a
child is standing on the seat, or if two
children are on the seat, contrary to the
instructions in this manual. Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
Using the passenger air bag status light,
you can monitor when the front pas-
senger air bag is automatically turned OFF
with the seat occupied. The light will not
illuminate when the front passenger seat
is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
passenger air bag status light is illumi-
nated (indicating that the air bag is OFF),
it could be that the person is a small
adult, or is not sitting on the seat prop-
erly or is not using the seat belt properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the
front seat, the passenger air bag status
light may or may not be illuminated, de-
pending on the size of the child and the
type of child restraint being used. If the
passenger air bag status light is not illu-
minated (indicating that the air bag might
inflate in a crash), it could be that the
child restraint or seat belt is not being
used properly. In rare cases, the pas-
senger air bag status light will not illumi-
nate even though the air bag is OFF.
If such situations happen, properly posi-
tion and restrain the occupant or child re-
straint. Otherwise reposition the occupant or child restraint in a rear seat. If you
have any questions about whether your
passenger air bag is working as designed,
your INFINITI dealer can confirm that it is
working properly by using a special tool.
The INFINITI advanced air bag system and
passenger air bag status light will take a
few seconds to register a change in the
passenger seat status. For example, if a
large adult who is sitting in the front pas-
senger seat exits the vehicle, the passen-
ger air bag status light will change from
OFF to ON for a few seconds and then to
OFF. This is normal system operation and
does not indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front pas-
senger air bag system, the supplemental
air bag warning light , located in the
meter and gauges area will blink. Have
the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.
