7. 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 seat belt 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 belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the seat belt as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and
test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles. 8. Check to make sure the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use. If
the seat belt is not locked, repeat steps
2 through 7.

should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-42).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

WARNING
.Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally opening
the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
