2011 INFINITI G-CONVERTIBLE remove seats

1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, adjust the seatback so that it is
upright and then move the seat to the rear-
most position. Do not move the seat with
the booster seat attached to it.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a front-facing direction.
Always follow the booster seat manufac-
turer’s instructions. 3. The booster seat should be positioned on
the vehicle seat so that it is stable. If
necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint (front passenger seat only) to
obtain the correct booster seat fit. (See
“HEAD RESTRAINTS” earlier in this sec-
tion.)
If the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint when the booster seat is removed. If the seating position does not have an adjust-
able head restraint and it is interfering with the
proper booster seat fit, try another seating
position or a different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt
low and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure
to follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the belt routing.

To sound the horn, push the center pad area of
the steering wheel.
WARNING
Do not disassemble the horn. Doing so could
affect proper operation of the supplemental
front air bag system. Tampering with the
supplemental front air bag system may result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the seat
heater if you or the occupants cannot monitor
elevated seat temperatures or have an inability
to feel pain in those body parts in contact with
the seat. Use of the seat heater by such people
could result in serious injury.
CAUTION
●The battery could run down if the seat heater
is operated while the engine is not running.
● Do not use the seat heater for extended pe-
riods or when no one is using the seat.
● Do not put anything on the seat which insu-
lates heat, such as a blanket, cushion, seat
cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may become
overheated.
● Do not place anything hard or heavy on the
seat or pierce it with a pin or similar object.
This may result in damage to the heater.
● Any liquid spilled on the heated seat should
be removed immediately with a dry cloth.
● When cleaning the seat, never use gasoline,
thinner, or any similar materials. ●
If any abnormalities are found or the heated
seat does not operate, turn the switch off
and have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.SIC3312

●Do not operate the retractable hard top in a
strong wind. It could be blown by the wind,
striking someone or damaging the retract-
able hard top.
● When the retractable hard top is retracted,
do not allow anyone to stand up or extend
any portion of their body out of the opening
while the vehicle is in motion or while the
retractable hard top is being operated.
● In an accident you could be thrown from the
vehicle with an open retractable hard top if
you do not use seat belts. Always use seat
belts and proper child restraints.
● Do not place any objects on or near the re-
tractable hard top operating switch. Unin-
tentional operation of the retractable hard
top may cause injuries or an accident if the
objects press the switch.
● Do not put your fingers or hands in the gap
between the rear seats and the rear parcel
shelf or the side flaps. Doing so may cause
injury if the retractable hard top is operated.CAUTION
● Do not operate the retractable hard top when
the temperature is below 32°F (0°C). This
may result in damage to the retractable hard
top material or operating system.
● Remove water drops, snow, ice or sand from
the retractable hard top, and dry the surface
of the retractable hard top completely before
opening it.
● Do not open the retractable hard top when it
is wet or damp. If the retractable hardtop and
rear window are wet, water might get inside
of the vehicle. To avoid this, wipe off any
water drops before opening the retractable
hard top.
● Do not place any objects between the hard
rail and the structure. Doing so could inter-
fere with retractable hard top operation and
cause damage to the retractable hard top
operating system or the objects.
● Do not place any objects on the upper area of
the windshield glass or the hard rail when
the retractable hard top is fully opened. Do-
ing so could interfere with retractable hard
top operation and cause damage. ●
Do not place any object between the retract-
able hard top when the retractable hard top
is stored in the storage space. Doing so may
interfere with retractable hard top operation
and cause damage.
● Do not place anything on the retractable
hard top, rear parcel shelf, side flaps and
trunk lid. Even small items may interfere
with the retractable hard top operation and
could cause damage to the retractable hard
top or the vehicle body.
● Do not place anything in the retractable hard
top storage area. The retractable hard top
will not fit there properly, and this could
damage the retractable hard top and/or the
vehicle body.
● Do not sit or place excessive weight on the
top, rear parcel shelf, side flaps and trunk
lid, especially when the retractable hard top
is being operated. The retractable hard top
may be damaged.
● Do not drive the vehicle with the retractable
hard top partially opened. Always make sure
the retractable hard top is either fully
opened or closed before driving.
● Secure items so that they cannot be blown
from the vehicle while driving with the re-
tractable hard top open.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-19

Occasionally remove loose dust from the inte-
rior trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum
cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl
and leather surfaces with a clean, soft cloth
dampened in mild soap solution, then wipe
clean with a dry soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Some fabric
protectors contain chemicals that may stain or
bleach the seat material.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to clean
the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam
cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the seat
or occupant classification sensor. This can also
affect the operation of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION
●Never use benzine, thinner, or any similar
material. ●
Small dirt particles can be abrasive and damag-
ing to the leather surfaces and should be re-
moved promptly. Do not use saddle soap, car
waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents,
detergents or ammonia-based cleaners as they
may damage the leather’s natural finish.
● Only use fabric protectors approved by
INFINITI.
● Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter
or gauge lens covers. It may damage the lens
cover.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could
affect the vehicle interior. If you use an air
freshener, take the following precautions:
● Hanging-type air fresheners can cause per-
manent discoloration when they contact ve-
hicle interior surfaces. Place the air fresh-
ener in a location that allows it to hang free
and not contact an interior surface.
● Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on
the vents. These products can cause imme-
diate damage and discoloration when
spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions before using air fresheners.
FLOOR MATS
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference that may
result in a collision or injury:
● NEVER place a floor mat on top of another
floor mat in the driver front position.
● Use only genuine NISSAN floor mats specifi-
cally designed for use in your vehicle model.
See your INFINITI retailer for more
information.
● Properly position the mats in the floorwell
using the floor mat positioning aid. See
“Floor mat positioning aid” later in this
section.
The use of NISSAN floor mats can extend the life
of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to
clean the interior. Mats should be maintained
with regular cleaning and replaced if they be-
come excessively worn.
CLEANING INTERIOR
7-4Appearance and care

Seats:Check seat position controls such as
seat adjusters, seatback recliners, etc. to en-
sure they operate smoothly and that all latches
lock securely in every position. Check that the
head restraints move up and down smoothly
and that the locks (if so equipped) hold securely
in all latched positions.
Steering wheel: Check for changes in the steer-
ing conditions, such as excessive free play,
hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes: Make sure that all
warning lights and chimes are operating prop-
erly.
Windshield defroster: Check that the air comes
out of the defroster outlets properly and in
sufficient quantity when operating the heater or
air conditioner.
Windshield wiper and washer*: Check that the
wipers and washers operate properly and that
the wipers do not streak.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery*: Check the fluid level in each cell. It
should be between the MAX and MIN lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or un-
der severe condition require frequent checks of
the battery fluid level.
Brake and clutch fluid levels*:
Make sure that
the brake and clutch fluid levels are between
the MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir.
Engine coolant level*: Check the coolant level
when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belt*: Make sure that the drive belt
is not frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking
the vehicle on a level surface and turning off the
engine. Wait more than 15 minutes for the oil to
drain back into the oil pan.
Exhaust system: Make sure there are no loose
supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of
exhaust fumes, immediately have the exhaust
system inspected by an INFINITI retailer. (See
“PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section for
exhaust gas (Carbon monoxide).)
Fluid leaks: Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil,
water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water dripping from
the air conditioner after use is normal. If you should notice any leaks or if gasoline fumes are
evident, check for the cause and have it cor-
rected immediately.
Power steering fluid level* and lines:
Check the
level with the engine off. Check the lines for
proper attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.
Radiator and hoses: Check the front of the
radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves,
etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the
hoses have no cracks, deformation, rot or loose
connections.
Underbody: The underbody is frequently ex-
posed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very
important to remove these substances, other-
wise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel
lines and around the exhaust system. At the
end of winter, the underbody should be thor-
oughly flushed with plain water, being careful
to clean those areas where mud and dirt may
accumulate. For additional information, see
“CLEANING EXTERIOR” in the “7. Appearance
and care” section.
Windshield washer fluid*: Check that there is
adequate fluid in the reservoir.
