HEAD RESTRAINTSGUID-F668742C-7157-4FDF-89FF-379FEF676D0B
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehi-
cle safety systems. They may provide addi-
tional protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjust the head re-
straints properly, as specified in this sec- tion. Check the adjustment 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
properly adjust the head restraint before an
occupant 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.

FORWARD-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS
GUID-655CB337-D629-48C4-B5B9-84EFE4624917
WARNING
. The three-point seat belt with Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used
when installing a child restraint. Failure
to use the ALR mode will result in the
child restraint not being properly se-
cured. The restraint could tip over or be
loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-42).
. This vehicle is not equipped with upper
tethers. A child restraint system requir-
ing the use of a top tether strap cannot
be properly installed and should not be used in this vehicle.

Forward-facing (front passenger seat)
—
step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and“Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the rear seats or in the front
passenger seat:
1. If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and, therefore,
must not be used in the front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat.Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head restraint
when the child restraint is removed.
See “Head restraints” (P.1-7) for head
restraint adjustment, removal and in-
stallation information.
For models with a head restraint speak-
er (if so equipped), the head restraint
cannot be removed.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child re-
straint fit, try another seating position
or a different child restraint.

4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is
fully extended. At this time, the seat
belt retractor is in the Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint

Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt
is fully retracted.

9. If the child restraint is installed in the
front passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the ON position. The front
passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-42).Move
the child restraint to another seating
position. Have the system checked by
an INFINITI retailer.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.

Precautions on booster seatsGUID-DEB776C2-D20F-47C4-9FE2-FD7BF26F503F
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured in
a sudden stop or collision greatly increases:
. Make sure the shoulder portion of the
belt is away from the child’s face and
neck and the lap portion of the belt does
not cross the stomach.
. Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the child’s
arm.
. A booster seat must only be installed in
a seating position that has a lap/
shoulder belt.
