WARNING● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous.
The shoulder belt will not be against your
body. In an accident, you could be thrown
into it and receive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under the lap belt
and receive serious internal injuries.
● For the most effective protection when the
vehicle is in motion, the seat should be up-
right. Always sit well back in the seat with
both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt
properly. See “PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE” later in this section. ● After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
● The seatback should not be reclined further
than necessary for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well
back and straight up in the seat. If the seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding under the
lap belt and being injured is increased. CAUTIONWhen adjusting the seat positions, be sure not
to contact any moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damages.

● While the automatic drive positioner oper-
ates.
● When the automatic drive positioner
switches are pushed.
● When the seatback switch is 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.
REAR SEATS
Folding (Coupe only) WARNING● Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area
or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could result in se-
rious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. Do not place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal injury. ● When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain they are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop.
● Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from playing
and becoming locked in the trunk where they
could be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the rear seatback and trunk lid
securely latched when not in use, and pre-
vent children’s access to car keys.
The rear seatback can be folded according to
the following procedure. To fold from the trunk:
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Pull the handle
 1
located on the left side
of the trunk. The rear seatback will be
unlatched. SSS0220A

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
 1
must be installed in the hole with the lock
knob
 2
.
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

WARNING● Every person who drives or rides in this ve-
hicle should use a seat belt at all times. Chil-
dren should be properly restrained in the
rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child
restraint.
● The seat belt should be properly adjusted to
a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the
effectiveness of the entire restraint system
and increase the chance or severity of injury
in an accident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
● Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the belt behind your back, under your arm or
across your neck. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not falling off
your shoulder.
● Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST.
A lap belt worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an accident.
● Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely fas-
tened to the proper buckle.
● Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness. SSS0136A

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

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS WARNING● Infants and small children should always be
placed in an appropriate child restraint
while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a
child restraint can result in serious injury or
death.
● 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.
● Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An inflating supple-
mental front air bag could seriously injure or
kill your child. A rear-facing child restraint
must only be used in the rear seat. ● INFINITI recommends that the child restraint
be installed in the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat. If you must install a front-
facing child restraint in the front seat, see
“CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS” later in this section.
● Improper use or improper installation of a
child restraint can increase the risk or sever-
ity of injury for both the child and other oc-
cupants of the vehicle and can lead to seri-
ous injury or death in an accident.
● Follow all of the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation and use.
When purchasing a child restraint, be sure to
select one which will fit your child and ve-
hicle. It may not be possible to properly in-
stall some types of child restraints in your
vehicle.
● If the child restraint is not anchored prop-
erly, the risk of a child being injured in a
collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.
● Child restraint anchor points are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no cir-
cumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses. ● Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned
to fit the child restraint, but as upright as
possible.
● After attaching the child restraint, test it be-
fore you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side while holding the seat near the
LATCH attachment or 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.
● When your child restraint is not in use, keep
it secured with the LATCH System or a seat
belt to prevent it from being thrown around
in case of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTIONRemember 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.
