PREGNANT WOMEN
INFINITI recommends that pregnant women
use seat belts. The seat belt should be
worn snug, and always position the lap
belt as low as possible around the hips,
not the waist, and place the shoulder belt
over your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your
abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons
use seat belts. Check with your doctor for
specific recommendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH COM-
FORT FUNCTION (front seats) (if so
equipped)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat
belt with a motor to help restrain front seat
occupants. This helps reduce the risk of
injury in a collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the
following emergency conditions:
.During emergency braking.
. During sudden steering maneuvers.
. Activation of the Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system. (See
“Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA) system” in the“5. Starting
and driving ”section.)
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when:
. The seat belt is not fastened.
. The vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15
km/h) during emergency braking.
. The vehicle speed is under 19 MPH (30
km/h) during sudden steering maneu-
vers.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when the brake pedal is not depressed
except when sudden steering maneuvers
occur and the Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
system activates.
The motor also retracts the seat belt when
the seat belt is fastened or unfastened.
When the seat belt is fastened, the motor
tightens the seat belt for a snug fit. When
the seat belt is unfastened, the motor
retracts the seat belt. If the seat belt is not
fully retracted, the motor retracts the seat
belt when the door is opened.
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the motor cannot retract the seat belt
when the seat belt is fastened or unfas-
