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.

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.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGEGUID-25CEF2F4-9F96-46FF-992A-252AE91B3D6FIf you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and
well back in your seat with both feet on the
floor, your chances of being injured or
killed in an accident and/or the severity of
injury may be greatly reduced. INFINITI
strongly encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every time you
drive, even if your seating position in-
cludes a supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories specify that seat belts be
worn at all times when a vehicle is being
driven.

WARNING
. Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all
times. Children should be properly re-
strained in the rear seat and, if appro-
priate, in a child restraint.
. The seat belt should be properly ad-
justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the chance
or severity of injury in an accident.
Serious injury or death can occur if the
seat belt is not worn properly.
. Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put the belt behind your back, under
your arm or across your neck. The belt
should be away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.
. Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in an
accident.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle. .
Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its effec-
tiveness.
. Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is turned
ON with all doors closed and all seat
belts fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. Have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
. No changes should be made to the seat
belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material or install
devices that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may affect
the operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious perso-
nal injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and must
be replaced together with the retractor.
See an INFINITI retailer.
. Removal and installation of the preten-
sioner system components should be

done by an INFINITI retailer.
. All seat belt assemblies, including re-
tractors and attaching hardware, should
be inspected after any collision by an
INFINITI retailer. INFINITI recommends
that all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced unless
the collision was minor and the belts
show no damage and continue to oper-
ate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use during a
collision should also be inspected and
replaced if either damage or improper
operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching hard-
ware should be inspected after any
collision. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer’s inspection instructions
and replacement recommendations. The
child restraints should be replaced if
they are damaged.PREGNANT WOMENGUID-6EC948B4-A53D-4BBB-8E91-27E1626FF738INFINITI 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 PERSONSGUID-C6109A61-2827-4D2D-9DF8-B8E4F434EE83INFINITI recommends that injured persons
use seat belts, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for specific recom-
mendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS (front
seats) (if so equipped)
GUID-255811E9-1A67-4171-B1F7-723CBD8D3792The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat
belt to help restrain front seat occupants
under emergency braking. This can help
reduce the risk of injury when a collision
occurs.
Pre-crash seat belt will not be activated
when:
.the brake pedal is not depressed
. the seat belt is not fastened .
the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15
km/h)
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the seat belt warning light blinks even if
the driver’s and front passenger’s seat
belts are fastened, it may indicate the pre-
crash seat belt system has a malfunction.
Have your INFINITI retailer check and repair
the system.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTGUID-29FE814D-A249-43BF-81DB-B3099A27199C
WARNING
. Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all
times.
. 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
