ates (if so equipped).
● When the automatic drive positioner
switches are pushed (if so equipped).
● When the seatback switch
2is pushed.
● When the seat position is adjusted.
Note that the seat must be moved to the
front-most position by operating the walk-in
function or the seat adjusting switches after the
battery is disconnected. Otherwise, the seat will
not move backward during the walk-in function.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehicle
safety systems. They may provide additional
protection against injury in certain rear end
collisions. Adjust the head restraints properly,
as specified in this section. Check the adjust-
ment after someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint stalks or
remove the head restraint. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint has been removed. If the
head restraint was removed, reinstall and prop-
erly adjust the head restraint before an occu-
pant uses the seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions can reduce the effectiveness
of the head restraints. This may increase the
risk of serious injury or death in a collision. The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints. The head re-
straints are adjustable.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.

Use the following procedure to remove the
adjustable head restraints.
1. Pull the head restraint up to the highestposition.
2. Push and hold the lock knob.
3. Remove the head restraint from the seat.
4. Store the head restraint properly in a secure place so it is not loose in the
vehicle.
5. Reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint before an occupant uses the
seating position.
CAUTION
Models with a head restraint speaker (if so
equipped) are designed so that the head re-
straint cannot be removed. The head restraint
speaker may be damaged if the head restraint
is forcibly pulled out.

Rear-facing
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child
restraint using LATCH lower anchors:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions. 2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the LATCH lower anchors. Check
to make sure the LATCH attachment is
properly attached to the lower anchor. 3. For child restraints that are equipped with
webbing mounted attachments, remove
any additional slack from the anchor at-
tachments. Press downward and rearward
firmly in the center of the child restraint
with your hand to compress the vehicle
seat cushion and seatback while tighten-
ing the webbing of the anchor attach-
ments.

●INFINITI recommends that child restraints be
installed in the rear seat. However, if you
must install a child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger seat to the
rearmost position. Also, be sure the front
passenger air bag status light is illuminated
to indicate the passenger air bag is OFF. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
later in this section for details.
● The three-point seat belt in your vehicle is
equipped with an Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) which must be used when installing
a child restraint.
● Failure to use the ALR will result in the child
restraint not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be unse-
cured and cause injury to the child in a sud-
den stop or collision.
● This vehicle is not equipped with upper teth-
ers. A child restraint system requiring the
use of a top tether strap cannot be properly
installed and should not be used in this
vehicle.
The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installation using the vehicle seat
belts in the rear seat or the front passenger
seat.
Front-facing
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seat or in the front passenger seat.
A child restraint that requires a top tether strap
for installation should not be used in this
vehicle.
1. If you must install a child restraint in the
front seat, it should be placed in a front-
facing direction only. Move the seat to the
rearmost position. Child restraints for in-
fants must be used in the rear-facing direc-
tion and therefore must not be used in the
front seat. 2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint (front passenger seat only) to ob-
tain the correct child restraint fit. (See
“HEAD RESTRAINTS” earlier in this section.)
If the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint when the child restraint is re-
moved.
The head restraint of models with a head
restraint speaker (if so equipped) cannot be
removed.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is interfer-
ing with the proper child restraint fit, try
another seating position or a different child
restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through thechild 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. 4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt re-
tractor is in the Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode). It
reverts to Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully
retracted. 5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on
the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt.

6. Remove any additional slack from theseat belt; press downward and rearward
firmly in the center of the child restraint
with your knee to compress the vehicle
seat cushion and seatback while pulling
up on the seat belt. 7. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the seat
near the seat belt path. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm)
from side to side. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the belt holds the restraint
in place. 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 of vehicles. 8. Check that the retractor is in the ALR
mode by trying to pull more seat belt out
of the retractor. If you cannot pull any
more belt webbing out of the retractor,
the retractor is in the ALR mode.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 8.

10. If the child restraint is installed in thefront passenger seat, push the ignition
switch to the ON position. The front
passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” later in this sec-
tion. Move the child restraint to another
seating position . Have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled.
Rear-facing
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seat:
1. Child restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat. Position
the child restraint on the seat. Always
follow the restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions. 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.
