WARNING
●Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area
or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could result in se-
rious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
● When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain they are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head 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.

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
●Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area
or on the rear seats when they are in the
fold-down position. In a collision, people rid-
ing in these areas without proper restraints
are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
● Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your ve-
hicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
● Do not fold down the rear seats when occu-
pants are in the rear seat area or any cargo is
on the rear seats. ●
Head restraints and headrests (except for
2nd row center seat) should be adjusted
properly as they may provide significant pro-
tection against injury in an accident. Always
replace and adjust them properly if they
have been removed for any reason.
● If the head restraints are removed for any
reason, they should be securely stored to
prevent them from causing injury to passen-
gers or damage to the vehicle in case of sud-
den braking or an accident.
● When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain they are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.WARNING
● When folding or returning the seat(s) to the
upright position, to avoid injury to yourself
and others:
– Make sure that the seat path is clear be- fore moving the seat.
– Be careful not to allow hands or feet to get caught or pinched in the seat.
● When folding the bench seat seatback down
for maximum storage, make sure the seat
base is in the latched position by rocking the
seat base. If the seat base is not properly
secured, cargo stored on top of a folded seat-
back may become a projectile causing per-
sonal injury or vehicle damage.

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.
