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.

FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment Operating tips :
● The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 seconds,
then reactivate the switch.
● Do not operate the power seat switch for a
long period of time when the engine is off.
This will discharge the battery.
See “AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER” in the “3.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments” section for
the seat position memory function.
Forward and backward :
Moving the switch
 1
forward or backward will
slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position.
Reclining :
Move the recline switch
 2
backward until the
desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward again, move the switch
 2
forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE” later in this section.) Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when
the vehicle is parked. SSS1051

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
 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

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

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
