WARNING
. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and installa-
tion of child restraints could result in
serious injury or death of a child or other
passengers in a sudden stop or collision:
—The child restraint must be used and
installed properly. Always follow all
of the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
—Infants and children should never beheld on anyone’s lap. Even the
strongest adult cannot resist the
forces of a collision.
—Do not put a seat belt around both achild and another passenger.
—INFINITI recommends that all childrestraints 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.1-34).
—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.
—A child restraint with a top tetherstrap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
—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.
CHILD RESTRAINTS

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 a universal
child restraint anchor system, referred to
as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system. Some child restraints
include rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments that can be connected to these
anchors.
For details, see“Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren System (LATCH)” (P.1-
26).
If you do not have a LATCH compatible
child restraint, 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.
Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child’s height and
weight. Always follow all recommended
procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated. Canadian law requires the
top tether strap on forward-facing child
restraints be secured to the designated
anchor point on the vehicle.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use and installation of child
restraints could result in serious injury or
death of a child or other passengers in a
sudden stop or collision:
. Attach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown in
the illustration.
. Do not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using the
LATCH lower anchors. The child restraint
will not be secured properly. .
Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area.
Feel to make sure there are no obstruc-
tions over the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material. The
child restraint will not be secured
properly if the lower anchors are ob-
structed.

3. For child restraints that are equipped
with webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the

4. After attaching the child restraint, test
it before you place the child in it. Push
it from side to side while holding the
child restraint near the LATCH attach-
ment path. The child restraint should
not move more than 1 inch (25 mm),
from side to side. Try to tug it forward
and check to see if the LATCH attach-
ment holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
LATCH attachment as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint or try installing
by using the vehicle seat belt (if

REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT IN-
STALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS
GUID-68D5DDB8-3F24-4C65-922C-6DD7B90A7477
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 secured. 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
passenger air bag. See “Front passenger air bag and status light”
(P.1-50).

Rear-facing—step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” (P.1-22) and“Child re-
straints” (P.1-24) before installing a child
restraint.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belts
in the rear seats:
1. Child restraints for infants must be
used in the rear-facing direction and
therefore must not be used in the front
seat. Position the child restraint on the
seat. Always follow the restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
SSS0654
Rear-facing —step 2
2. 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.

Rear-facing —step 3
3. 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 the Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when
the seat belt is fully retracted.
