You can check their operation as follows:
O grasp the shoulder belt and pull for-
ward quickly. The retractor should lock
and restrict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any questions about
belt operation, see an INFINITI dealer.
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 adjust,
pull the release button
q 1
, and then move
the shoulder belt anchor
q 2
to the de-
sired position, so that the belt passes
over the center of the shoulder. The belt
should be away from your face and neck,
but not falling off of your shoulder. Re-
lease the adjustment button
q 1
to lock
the shoulder belt anchor into position. WARNING O After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and 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 effective-
ness of the entire restraint system and
increase the chance or severity of injury
in an accident. SSS0368

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
O Check the child restraint in your ve-
hicle to be sure it is compatible with
the vehicle's seat and seat belt
system.
O If the child restraint is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
child restraint and check the various
adjustments to be sure the child re-
straint is compatible with your child.
Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child's height and
weight. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures.
All US states and Canadian provinces re-
quire that infants and small children be re-
strained in approved child restraints at all
times while the vehicle is being operated.
WARNINGO Improper use of a child restraint can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury for
both the child and other occupants of
the vehicle. O Follow all of the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions for installation and
use. When purchasing a child restraint,
be sure to select one which will fit your
child and vehicle. It may not be possible
to properly install some types of child re-
straints in your vehicle.
O If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured
in a collision or a sudden stop greatly in-
creases.
O Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the child restraint, but as
upright as possible.
O After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side. Try to tug it forward
and check to see if the belt holds the re-
straint in place. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 in (25 mm).
If the restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint. Not
all child restraints fit in all types
ofvehicles. O If you must install a front-facing child re-
straint in the front seat, see ªChild re-
straint installation on front passenger
seatº later in this section.
O When your child restraint 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 child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check
the seating surface and buckles before
placing your child in the child restraint.
