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.
ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS
WARNING
The adjustable headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the
headrest properly, as specified in this
section. Check the adjustment after some-
one else uses the seat. Do not attach
anything to the adjustable headrest stalks
or remove the adjustable headrest. Do not
use the seat if the adjustable headrest has
been removed. If the adjustable headrest
was removed, reinstall and properly adjust
the headrest before an occupant uses the
seating position. Failure to follow these
instructions can reduce the effectiveness of
the adjustable headrests. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

Forward-facing (front passenger seat) —
step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and“Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the rear seats or in the front
passenger seat:
1. If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and, therefore,
must not be used in the front seat. 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 or headrest to obtain the
correct child restraint fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when
the child restraint is removed. See
“Head restraints” earlier in this section
or “Adjustable headrests” earlier in this
section for head restraint or headrest
adjustment, removal and installation
information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.
SSS0360B
Forward-facing —step 3
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.
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether strap, route the top tether
strap and secure the tether strap to the
tether anchor point (rear seat installa-
tion only). See “Installing top tether
strap” later in this section. Do not
install child restraints that require the
use of a top tether strap in seating
positions that do not have a top tether

SSS1085
Forward-facing—step 10
10. If the child restraint is installed in the
front passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the ON position. The front
passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” later in this
section. Move the child restraint to
another seating position. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.
SSS0791
INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAP
First, secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors (rear outboard seat
positions only) or the seat belt, as applic-
able.
1. Flip up the anchor cover from the anchor point which is located directly
behind the child seat.
2. If necessary, raise or remove the head restraint or headrest to position the top
tether strap over the top of the seat-
back. If the head restraint or headrest
is removed, store it in a secure place.
Be sure to reinstall the head restraint or headrest when the child restraint is
removed.
See
“Head restraints” earlier in this
section or “Adjustable headrests” ear-
lier in this section for head restraint or
headrest adjustment, removal and in-
stallation information.
Position the top tether strap over the
top of the seatback.
3. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point on the rear parcel shelf.
4. Refer to the appropriate child restraint installation procedure steps in this
section before tightening the tether
strap.
If you have any questions when installing
a top tether strap, consult your INFINITI
retailer for details.

1. If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rear-
most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a forward-facing direc-
tion. Always follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions.

Front passenger position
3. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when
the booster seat is removed. See“Head
restraints” earlier in this section or
“Adjustable headrests” earlier in this
section for head restraint or headrest
adjustment, removal and installation
information. If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
booster seat fit, try another seating
position or a different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips. Be
sure to follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for adjusting the
seat belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up
extra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the top, middle por-
tion of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the seat belt
routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and instructions for properly fastening a
seat belt shown in “Seat belts”earlier
in this section.
