HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehi-

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, install 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.

straps 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.
. If the cargo cover contacts the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top
tether anchor, remove the cargo cover
from the vehicle or secure it on the cargo
floor below its attachment location. If
the cargo cover is not removed, it may
damage the top tether strap during a
collision. Your child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the child
restraint top tether strap is damaged.
. Do not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Properly secure the
cargo so it does not contact the top
tether strap. Cargo that is not properly
secured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage the top tether
strap during a collision. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the child restraint top tether
strap is damaged.
. Do not use the cargo cover if the rear

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on
the roof rack. Do not load more than 220 lb
(100 kg) on the roof rails. Observe the
maximum load limit shown on the cross-
bars or roof carriers when you attach them
on the roof rails. Contact an INFINITI
retailer for crossbar or other equipment
information.
Be careful that your vehicle does not
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and
GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V. M.S.S. certification label (located on the
driver’s door pillar). For more information
regarding GVWR and GAWR, see “Vehicle
loading information” in the“9. Technical
and consumer information” section.
WARNING
.Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
roof rack.
. Heavy loading of the roof rack has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
. Roof rack load should be evenly dis-
tributed.
. Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
