2012 INFINITI G-CONVERTIBLE ESP

1-18Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
. Rear-facing child restraint
. Forward-facing child restraint
. Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year
and less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should be
placed in rear-facing child restraints. For-
ward-facing child restraints are available
for children who outgrow rear-facing child
restraints and are at least 1 year old.
Booster seats are used to help position a
vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who
can no longer use a forward-facing child
restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them
properly. The shoulder belt may come too
close to the face or neck. The lap belt may
not fit over their small hip bones. In an
accident, an improperly fitting seat belt
could cause serious or fatal injury. Always
use appropriate child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved
child restraints for infants and small children. See
“Child restraints” (P.1-19).
A child restraint may be secured in the
vehicle by using either the lower anchors
or the vehicle seat belt. See “Child
restraints” (P.1-19) for more information.
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear seat.
Studies show that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-
tem (Air bag system) for the front passen-
ger. See “Supplemental restraint system ”
(P.1-35).
INFANTSGUID-17C10DAD-8D9F-4370-8856-C20FF9C2414FInfants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that infants be placed
in child restraints that comply with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Cana-
dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle and always follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and
use.
SMALL CHILDRENGUID-6720EEDF-EB1F-481B-833F-D66348297EC8Children that are over 1 year old and weigh
at least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in a
rear-facing child restraint as long as
possible up to the height or weight limit
of the child restraint. Forward-facing child
restraints are available for children who
outgrow rear facing child restraints and are
at least 1 year old. Refer to the manufac-
turer’s instructions for minimum and max-
imum weight and height
recommendations. INFINITI recommends
that small children be placed in child
restraints that comply with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle and always follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and
use.
LARGER CHILDRENGUID-418A2E73-8FE7-40DB-9D90-85DB5A1E3258Children 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 lbs (18 kg) and 80 lbs
(36 kg). A booster seat should be used to

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags and door-mounted curtain side-
impact supplemental air bags:
.The front seat-mounted side-impact air
bags and door-mounted curtain air bags
ordinarily will not inflate in the event of
a frontal impact, rear impact 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
door finishers. Do not allow anyone
sitting 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 espe-
cially careful with children, who should
always be properly restrained. Some
examples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the illustrations.
. Do not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
supplemental side air bag inflation.
