Forward and backward :
Moving the switch
s1forward or backward will
slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position.
Reclining :
Move the recline switch
s2backward until the
desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward again, move the switch
s2forward.
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 ªPRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGEº later in this section.) Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when
the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is
in the P (Park) position with the parking brake
fully applied.
Seat lifter :
Push the front or rear end of the switch up or
down to adjust the angle of the front portion or
height of the seat.

Small children
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at
least 20 lb (9 kg) can be placed in a front-facing
child restraint. Refer to the manufacturer's in-
structions for minimum and maximum weight
and height recommendations. INFINITI recom-
mends that small children be placed in child
restraints that comply with Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. You should choose a
child restraint that fits your vehicle and always
follow the manufacturer's instructions for in-
stallation and use.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child restraints
should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts which are provided. The seat belt may not
fit properly if the child is less than 4 ft 9 in
(142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40 lb (18 kg)
and 80 lb (36 kg). A booster seat should be
used to obtain proper seat belt fit.
INFINITI recommends that a child be placed in a
commercially available booster seat if the
shoulder belt in the child's seating position fits
close to the face or neck or if the lap portion of
the seat belt goes across the abdomen. The
booster seat should raise the child so that the
shoulder belt is properly positioned across the
top, middle portion of the shoulder and the lapbelt is low on the hips. A booster seat can only
be used in seating positions that have a three-
point type seat belt. The booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and have a label certifying that
it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Once the child has grown so the
shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face
and neck, use the shoulder belt without the
booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and
do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the
vehicle is moving. The child could be seriously
injured or killed in an accident or sudden stop.
PREGNANT WOMEN
INFINITI recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug,
and always position the lap belt as low as
possible around the hips, not the waist. Place
the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across
your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder belt over
your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons use
seat belts, depending on the injury. Check with
your doctor for specific recommendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS (front seats)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt to
help restrain front seat occupants under emer-
gency braking. This can help reduce the risk of
injury when a collision occurs.
Pre-crash seat belt will not be activated when:
c
the brake pedal is not depressed
c the seat belt is not fastened
c the selector lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion
c the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15 km/h)
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back in the seat with both feet
on the floor.
If the seat belt warning light blinks even if the
driver's and front passenger's seat belts are
fastened, it may indicate the pre-crash seat belt
system has a malfunction. Have your INFINITI
retailer check and repair the system.
