SSS0133
WARNING
. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and receive neck
or other serious injuries. You could also
slide under the lap belt and receive
serious internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See
“Pre-
cautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-11).
. After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
. The seatback should not be reclined
further than necessary for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas- senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and
being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damages.
SEATS

Front power seat adjustmentGUID-685BB5F9-0E84-4F1D-956F-3A0406D03632Operating tips:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407.The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 sec-
onds, then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch
for a long period of time when the
engine is off. This will discharge the
battery.
See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-38)
for the seat position memory function (if so
equipped).
SSS1051
Forward and backward:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407Moving the switch*1forward or backward
will slide the seat forward or backward to
the desired position.
Reclining:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407Move the recline switch*2backward until
the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch
*2forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of
the seatback for occupants of different
sizes for added comfort and to help obtain
proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on
seat belt usage” (P.1-11).) Also, the seat- back can be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is stopped and the
transmission is in the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position with the parking brake
fully applied.

.When the selector lever is not in the P
(Park) position (Automatic Transmis-
sion model’s driver’s seat) or the
parking brake is not applied (Manual
Transmission model’s driver’s seat).
. When the door is closed.
. While the automatic drive positioner
operates (if so equipped).
. When the automatic drive positioner
switches are pushed (if so equipped).
. When the seatback switch
*2is
pushed.
. When the seat position is adjusted.
Note that the seat must be moved to the
front-most position by operating the walk-
in function or the seat adjusting switches
after the battery is disconnected. Other-
wise, the seat will not move backward
during the walk-in function.
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.

direction. The stalk with the adjustment
notches
*1must be installed in the
hole with the lock knob

before an occupant uses the seating
position.
SSS0508
Front-seat Active Head RestraintsGUID-0E0CAE61-FD39-4AD6-AAE1-11101907AD71The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback re-
ceives from the occupant in a rear-end
collision. The movement of the head
restraint helps support the occupant’s
head by reducing its backward movement
and helping absorb some of the forces that
may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for
collisions at low to medium speeds in
which it is said that whiplash-type injury
occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain rear-end collisions. After the colli-
sion, the head restraints return to their
original positions.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly
as described earlier in this section.

child and another passenger.
—INFINITI recommends that all child
restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Studies show that children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. If you
must install a forward-facing child
restraint in the front seat, see “For-
ward-facing child restraint installa-
tion using the seat belts” (P.1-28).
—Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front
seat. An inflating air bag could
seriously injure or kill a child. A
rear-facing child restraint must only
be used in the rear seat.
—Be sure to purchase a child restraint
that will fit the child and vehicle.
Some child restraints may not fit
properly in your vehicle.
—Child restraint anchor points aredesigned to withstand loads from
child restraints that are properly
fitted.
—Never use the anchor points foradult seat belts or harnesses.
—Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-sible after fitting the child restraint.
—Infants and children should alwaysbe placed in an appropriate child
restraint while in the vehicle.
. 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.
. When the child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the lower anchors
or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose objects can injure occu-
pants or damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating surface
and buckles before placing a child in the
child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with lower an-
chors for child restraint installation. Some
child restraints include rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be con- nected to these anchors. For details, see
“Child restraint lower anchors”
(P.1-21).
LATCH child restraints generally require the
use of a top tether strap. However, this
vehicle does not have top tether anchor
locations. Do not install a child restraints
in this vehicle that requires the use of a top
tether strap.
If you do not have a child restraint with
lower anchor attachments, the vehicle seat
belts can be used.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints
for infants and small children of various
sizes. When selecting any child restraint,
keep the following points in mind:
. Choose only a restraint with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
. Check the child restraint in your vehicle
to be sure it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.
. If the child restraint is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
child restraint and check the various
adjustments to be sure the child
restraint is compatible with your child.

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.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the
buckle until you hear and feel the latch
engage. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions
for belt routing.

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
mode). It reverts to Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt
is fully retracted.
