REAR SEATS
Folding (if so equipped)
WARNING
. Never allow anyone to ride in the trunk
or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-
down position. Use of these areas by
passengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury in an
accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
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.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
. Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from play-
ing and becoming locked in the trunk
where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the car locked, with the rear

The rear seatback can be folded according
to the following procedure.
Before folding the seatback:
. Disconnect and stow the center seat
belt and tongue into the retractor base.
(See “Rear center seat belt (models
with rear seat folding)” (P.1-18).).
Always reconnect the center seat belt
when the seat is returned to the upright
position.
. Remove drink containers from the rear
cup holder.
To fold the seatback:
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Pull the strap located on the left and right side of the trunk. The rear seat-
back will be unlatched.
3. Fold the rear seatback down.
To return the seatback:
1. Fold up the rear seatback.
2. Securely lock the seatback in position.

not be able to retract the seat belt. After a
few minutes, the motor normally reacti-
vates and retracts the seat belt. If the seat
belt still cannot be retracted by the motor,
the pre-crash seat belt system has a
malfunction. Have your INFINITI retailer
check and repair the system.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
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
seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly.JVR0256X
Models with rear seat folding
WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the seat
belts. Most seating positions are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be seriously
injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if the
vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to
release the child. For the center of the rear
seat on the models with rear seat folding,
the connector tongue
*1may also be released. Release the connector tongue by
inserting a suitable tool (such as a key) into
the connector buckle
*A. If the seat belt
can not be unbuckled or is already un-
buckled, release the child by cutting the
seat belt with a suitable tool (such as a
knife or scissors) to release the seat belt.
Safety —Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-15

The ELR locks the seat belt when the
vehicle slows down rapidly or during
impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode (child restraint mode) locks the seat
belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the
buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt
returns to the ELR mode after the seat belt
fully retracts. For additional information,
see“Child restraints” (P.1-24).
The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR
mode should not be activated. If it is
activated, it may cause uncomfortable seat
belt tension.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position. If they are not com-
pletely secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
SSS0326
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, push the button
on the buckle. The seat belt automatically
retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement by two separate
methods:
. When the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat
belts, check the operation as follows: .
Grasp the shoulder belt and pull
forward quickly. The retractor should
lock and restrict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any question about
seat belt operation, see an INFINITI retailer.

Do not allow children to play with the seat

with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be seriously

Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in
this manual, child safety information is
available from many other sources, includ-
ing doctors, teachers, government traffic
safety offices, and community organiza-
tions. Every child is different, so be sure to
learn the best way to transport your child.
There are three basic types of child
restraint systems:
. Rear-facing child restraint
. Forward-facing child restraint
. Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child ’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year
and less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should be
placed in rear-facing child restraints. For-
ward-facing child restraints are available
for children who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old.
Booster seats are used to help position a
vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who
can no longer use a forward-facing child
restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them
properly. The shoulder belt may come too
close to the face or neck. The lap belt may
not fit over their small hip bones. In an
accident, an improperly fitting seat belt
could cause serious or fatal injury. Always
use appropriate child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved
child restraints for infants and small
children. See
“Child restraints” (P.1-24).
A child restraint may be secured in the
vehicle by using either the LATCH (Lower
Anchor and Tethers for CHildren) system or
with the vehicle seat belt. See “Child
restraints” (P.1-24) for more information.

REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT IN-
STALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS
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 se-
cured. 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 pas- senger air bag. See
“Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-49).
. When installing a child restraint system
in the rear center position, both the
center seat belt connector tongue and
buckle tongue must be secured (for
models with rear seat folding). See
“Rear center seat belt (models with rear
seat folding)” (P.1-18).

SSS0100
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.
SSS0655
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.
