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.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not
to contact any moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damages.

SEATS
1-2Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

To lower, push and hold the lock knob and push
the head restraint down.Removal
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.

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 put
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. ●
Do not allow more than one person to use the
same seat belt.
● Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
● If the seat belt warning light glows continu-
ously while the ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it
may indicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
● No changes should be made to the seat belt
system. For example, do not modify the seat
belt, add material or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or tension. Do-
ing so may affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tampering with
the seat belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
● Once a seat belt pretensioner has activated,
it cannot be reused and must be replaced
together with the retractor. See an INFINITI
retailer.
● Removal and installation of the pretensioner
system components should be done by an
INFINITI retailer.

●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.WARNING
When 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.

1-16Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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.
SEAT BELT GUIDE (front seats)
When the seat belt guide is used with the front
seat, the seat belt can easily be pulled out.
Release the seat belt guide, clip the seat belt
and install the seat belt guide again.
When using the seat belt guide, do not allow it
to twist.
WARNING
When using the seat belt guide, make sure that
the seat belt guide is securely installed to the
seat. Otherwise, the seat belt may slip and re-
sult in personal injury.

●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
lower LATCH attachment or by 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 re-
straint is not secure, tighten the belt as nec-
essary, or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try a dif-
ferent 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 lower anchors or a
seat belt to prevent it from being thrown
around in case of a sudden stop or accident.CAUTION
Remember 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.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal child
restraint lower anchor system, referred to as
part of the Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren System or LATCH. Some child re-
straints include two rigid or webbing-mounted
attachments that can be connected to these
lower anchors. For details, see “LATCH Lower
Anchors” later in this section.
LATCH child restraints generally require the use
of a top tether strap. However, this vehicle does
not have top tether anchor locations. Do not
install a child restraints in this vehicle that
requires the use of a top tether strap.
If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
(See “CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS” later in this section.) In gen-
eral, child restraints are also designed to be
installed with the lap portion of a lap/shoulder
seat belt. Several manufacturers offer child restraints for
infants and small children of various sizes.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:
●
Choose only a restraint with a label certify-
ing that it complies with Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
● Check the child restraint in your vehicle to
be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
● If the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is
designed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
1-20Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territo-
ries require that infants and small children be
restrained in an approved child restraint at all
times while the vehicle is being operated. Cana-
dian law requires the top tether strap on front-
facing child restraints to be secured to the des-
ignated anchor point on the vehicle.
LATCH LOWER ANCHORS
Your vehicle is equipped with special lower an-
chor points that are used with Lower Anchors for
CHildren (LATCH) compatible child restraints.
These lower anchors may also be referred to an
ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible system. With these
lower anchors, you do not have to use a vehicle
seat belt to secure the child restraint.
The LATCH lower anchor points are provided to
install child restraints in the rear outboard
seating positions only. Do not attempt to install
a child restraint in the center position using the
LATCH lower anchors.
LATCH lower anchor point locations
The LATCH lower anchors are located at the rear
of the seat cushion near the seatback. A label is
attached to the seatback to help you locate the
LATCH lower anchors.
WARNING
●Attach LATCH system compatible child re-
straints only at the locations shown in the
illustration. If a child restraint is not secured
properly, your child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in an accident.
