2011 INFINITI G seats

●If the booster seat is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is compatible with
your child. Always follow all recommended
procedures.
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.
The instructions in this section apply to booster
seat installation in the rear seats or the front
passenger seat.
BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION
WARNING
INFINITI recommends that booster seats be in-
stalled in the rear seat. However, if you must
install a booster seat in the front passenger
seat, move the passenger’s seat to the rear-
most position.
CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) mode when using a
booster seat with the seat belts.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the rear seat or in the front passenger seat:
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 onthe vehicle seat so that it is stable. If
necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint to obtain the correct booster
seat fit. (See “HEAD RESTRAINTS” earlier
in this section.)
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
adjustable head restraint and it is interfer-
ing 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 seat belt
routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion of
the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer’s instructions
for adjusting the seat belt routing. 6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in-
structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in the “THREE-POINT TYPE
SEAT BELT” earlier in this section.

7. If the booster seat is installed in the frontpassenger seat, push the ignition switch
to the ON position. The front passenger
air bag status light
may or may not
illuminate depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat used.
(See “Front passenger air bag and status
light” later in this section.)
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger front impact supple-
mental air bags (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System), front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system, roof-mounted
curtain side-impact supplemental air bag and
seat belt with pretensioners.
Supplemental front-impact air bag system: The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest
of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bag system: This system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest and pelvis area of
the driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The side air bag is designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemen-
tal air bag system: This system can help cushion
the impact force to the head of occupants in
front and rear outboard seating positions in
certain side impact collisions. The curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted. These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to
supplement the crash protection pro-
vided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel and door fin-
ishers. (See “SEAT BELTS” earlier in this section
for instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, the supplemental air bag warning light illu-
minates. The supplemental air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the systems
are operational.

1-40Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
●The supplemental front air bags ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal collision. Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
● The front passenger air bag will not inflate if
the passenger air bag status light is lit or if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
later in this section.
● The seat belts and the supplemental front air
bags are most effective when you are sitting
well back and upright in the seat with both
feet on the floor. The front air bags inflate
with great force. Even with the INFINITI ad-
vanced air bag system, if you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the supplemental front air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates. Always sit
back against the seatback and as far-away
as practical from the steering wheel or in-
strument panel. Always use the seat belts.

●The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that de-
tect if the seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors the severity
of a collision and seat belt usage then in-
flates the air bags as needed. Failure to prop-
erly wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
● The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensor (pattern sen-
sor) that turns the front passenger air bag
OFF under some conditions. This sensor is
only used in this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. See “Front passenger air bag and
status light” later in this section.
● Keep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel. Placing them inside the steering
wheel rim could increase the risk of injury if
the front air bag inflates.

WARNING
●Never let children ride unrestrained or ex-
tend their hands or face out of the window.
Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or
arms. Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the illustrations.
● Children may be severely injured or killed
when the front air bags, side air bags or
curtain air bags inflate if they are not prop-
erly restrained. Pre-teens and children
should be properly restrained in the rear
seat, if possible.
● Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An inflating front air
bag could seriously injure or kill your child.
See “CHILD RESTRAINTS” earlier in this sec-
tion for details.

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bags:
●The front seat-mounted side-impact air bags
and roof-mounted curtain air bags ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a frontal im-
pact, rear impact, rollover or lower severity
side collision. Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents. ●
The seat belts, side air bags and curtain air
bags are most effective when you are sitting
well back and upright in the seat. The side air
bag and curtain air bag inflate with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place their
hand, leg or face near the side air bag on the
side of the seatback of the front seat or near
the side roof rails. Do not allow anyone sit-
ting in the front seats or rear outboard seats
to extend their hand out of the window or
lean against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in the
previous illustrations.
● When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seat. If the
supplemental side air bag inflates, you may
be seriously injured. Be especially careful
with children, who should always be prop-
erly restrained. Some examples of danger-
ous riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
● Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with supplemen-
tal side air bag inflation.
