2014 INFINITI Q60 CONVERTIBLE warning

facing child restraint, INFINITI recommends
that the child be placed in a commercially
available booster seat to obtain proper
seat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit properly,
the booster seat should raise the child so
that the shoulder belt is properly posi-
tioned across the chest and the top,
middle portion of the shoulder. The
shoulder belt should not cross the neck
or face and should not fall off the shoulder.
The lap belt should lie snugly across the
lower hips or upper thighs, not the abdo-
men. A booster seat can only be used in
seating positions that have a three-point
type seat belt. The booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and have a label certifying
that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehi-
cle Safety Standards. Once the child has
grown so the shoulder belt is no longer on
or near the face and neck and the lap belt
can be positioned properly across the
lower hips or upper thighs, use the seat
belt without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat
and do not allow a child in the cargo area.The child could be seriously injured or killed
in a sudden stop or collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-
STRAINTS
WARNING
. Infants and small children should always
be placed in an appropriate child re-
straint while riding in the vehicle. A child
restraint that requires a top tether strap
for installation should not be used in
this vehicle. Failure to use a child
restraint can result in serious injury or
death.
. 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 a child and another passenger.
—INFINITI recommends that all child
restraints 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.1-28).
—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.
—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.
. This vehicle is not equipped with upper
tethers. A child restraint system requir-
ing the use of a top tether strap cannot
be properly installed and should not be
used in this vehicle.
. When the child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the lower anchors
or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose objects can injure occu-
pants or damage the vehicle.
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 lower an-
chors for child restraint installation. Some
child restraints include rigid or webbing-
mounted attachments that can be con-

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:
—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 lower anchors. The child restraint
will not be secured properly.
—Inspect the lower anchors by insert-ing your fingers into the lower
anchor area. Feel to make sure there
are no obstructions 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 obstructed.
. This vehicle is not equipped with upper
tethers. A child restraint system requir-
ing the use of a top tether strap cannot be properly installed and should not be
used in this vehicle.

Lower anchor location
The lower anchors are located at the rear of
the seat cushion near the seatback. A label
is attached to the seatback to help you
locate the lower anchors.

Installing child restraint lower an-
chor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include
two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments
that can be connected to two anchors
located at certain seating positions in your
vehicle. With this system, you do not have
to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the
child restraint. Check your child restraint
for a label stating that it is compatible with
LATCH. This information may also be in the
instructions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer.
When installing a child restraint, carefully read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child
restraint.

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 lower anchor
attachment 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 lower
anchor attachment holds the restraint
in place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the lower anchor 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 applicable). Not all
child restraints fit in all types of
vehicles.
5. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat steps
1 through 4.

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 to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head restraint
when the child restraint is removed.
See “Head restraints” (P.1-7) for head
restraint adjustment, removal and in-
stallation information.
For models with a head restraint speak-
er (if so equipped), the head restraint
cannot be removed.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child re-
straint fit, try another seating position
or a different child restraint.
