SEAT BELT GUIDE (front seats)
When the seat belt guide is used with the front
seat, the seat belt can easily be pulled out.
Release the seat belt guide, clip the seat belt
and install the seat belt guide again.
When using the seat belt guide, do not allow it
to twist.
WARNING
When using the seat belt guide, make sure that
the seat belt guide is securely installed to the
seat. Otherwise, the seat belt may slip and re-
sult in personal injury.
CAUTION
●When entering or exiting the rear seat, or
inserting or retrieving luggage with the seat-
back folded down, always release the seat
belt guide. Otherwise, the seat belt guide
may be damaged.
●
Do not fold the seat forward or pull it backward
by holding the seat belt guide in your hand.
Doing so may damage the seat belt guide.
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 that is compatible
with the installed seat belts is available that
can be purchased. The extender adds approxi-
mately 8 in (200 mm) of length and may be
used for either the driver or front passenger
seating position. See an INFINITI Retailer for
assistance with purchasing an extender if an
extender is required.
WARNING
● Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made by
the same company which made the original
equipment seat belts, should be used with
the INFINITI seat belts. ●
Adults and children who can use the stan-
dard seat belt should not use an extender.
Such unnecessary use could result in seri-
ous personal injury in the event of an
accident.
● Never use seat belt extenders to install child
restraints. If the child restraint is not se-
cured properly, the child could be seriously
injured in a collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
● To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild
soap solution or any solution recommended
for cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then,
wipe with a cloth and allow the seat belts to
dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat belts
to retract until they are completely dry.
● If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may
retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide
with a clean, dry cloth.
● Periodically check to see that the seat belt
and the metal components such as buckles,
tongues, retractors, flexible wires and an-
chors work properly. If loose parts, deterio-
ration, cuts or other damage on the webbing
is found, the entire seat belt assembly
should be replaced.SSS0980
