HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGHead 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.

Removal Use the following procedure to remove the
adjustable head restraints.
1. Pull the head restraint up to the highest
position.
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.
Reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint
before an occupant uses the seating position. Install 1. Align the head restraint stalks with the
holes in the seat. Make sure that the head
restraint is facing the correct direction.
The stalk with the adjustment notches

must be installed in the hole with the lock
knob

.
2. Push and hold the lock knob and push the
head restraint down.
3. Properly adjust the head restraint before
an occupant uses the seating position. Front-seat Active Head Restraints The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz-
ing the force that the seatback receives from
the occupant in a rear-end collision. The move-
ment of the head restraint helps support the
occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is
said that whiplash-type injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original positions.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly as
described earlier in this section.SSS0995 SSS0996 SSS0508

ARMREST (if so equipped)
Rear armrest Pull the armrest forward until it is horizontal.
Trunk pass-through The rear center seatback can be folded to allow
trunk access from inside of the vehicle.
To access the trunk, pull down the rear center
armrest and pull out the trunk pass-through lid
 1
.
To lock the lid, use the mechanical key and turn
it to the LOCK position
 3
. To unlock, turn the
mechanical key to the UNLOCK position
 2
. For
the mechanical key usage, see “KEYS” in the “3.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments” section.
Make sure that the mechanical key is removed
from the trunk pass-through lid key cylinder
before opening or closing the lid. Otherwise the
lid and the rear armrest may be damaged. PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well
back in your seat with both feet on the floor,
your chances of being injured or killed in an
accident and/or the severity of injury may be
greatly reduced. INFINITI strongly encourages
you and all of your passengers to buckle up
every time you drive, even if your seating
position includes a supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or ter-
ritories specify that seat belts be worn at all
times when a vehicle is being driven.SSS0678 SSS0677

Fastening the seat belts 1. Adjust the seat. (See “SEATS” earlier in
this section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac-
tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
● The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling mo-
tion permits the belt to move, and allows you
some freedom of movement in the seat.
● If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully
retracted position, firmly pull the belt and
release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of
the retractor. 3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug
on the hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure
the shoulder belt is routed over your
shoulder and across your chest.
The three-point type seat belts have two modes
of operation:
● Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
● Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
allows the seat belt to extend and retract to
allow the driver and passengers some freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat
belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly or
during impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode
(child restraint mode) locks the seat belt for
child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat belt
cannot be extended again until the seat belt
tongue is detached from the buckle and fully
retracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode
after the seat belt fully retracts. For additional
information, see “CHILD RESTRAINTS” later in
this section.
The ALR mode should be used only for child
restraint installation. During normal seat belt
use by an occupant, the ALR mode should not be
activated. If it is activated, it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension.
WARNINGWhen fastening the seat belts, be certain that
seatbacks are completely secured in the
latched position. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.SSS0292 SSS0290

Unfastening the seat belts To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on
the buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat
belt movement by two separate methods:
● When the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
● When the vehicle slows down rapidly. To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows:
● Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward
quickly. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check
or if you have any question about seat belt
operation, see an INFINITI retailer.
Center of rear seat (Sedan) Selecting correct set of seat belts :
The center seat belt buckle is identified by the
CENTER mark
 A
. The center seat belt tongue
can be fastened only into the center seat belt
buckle.SSS0326 SSS0687

Shoulder belt height adjustment (for
Sedan front seats) The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. (See
“PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE” earlier in
this section.)
To adjust, push the button
 A
, and then move
the shoulder belt anchor to the desired posi-
tion, 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. Release the adjustment button to lock
the shoulder belt anchor into position. WARNING● After adjustment, release the adjustment
button and try to move the shoulder belt
anchor up and down to make sure it is se-
curely fixed in position.
● 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 arm (for Coupe front
seats) Before fastening the seat belt, pull the shoulder
belt arm forward until it clicks at the lock
position. The arm can also be folded down for
easier access for rear seat passengers.
Pulling the arm forward will allow an easy
access to the belt.SSS0294A SSS0588
