Active Head Restraints operate only in
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.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGEY51D-V-E01-0A678CD3-4A52-4D86-8AB5-75E62AB34DD6If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and
well back in your seat with both feet on the
floor, your chances of being injured or
killed in an accident and/or the severity of
injury may be greatly reduced. INFINITI
strongly encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every time you
drive, even if your seating position in-
cludes a supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories specify that seat belts be
worn at all times when a vehicle is being
driven.

[ Edit: 2013/ 10/ 21 Model: Y51-D ]
PREGNANT WOMENY51D-V-E01-68785179-C63E-48C7-846C-4DEDBC5E5B77INFINITI recommends that pregnant women
use seat belts. The seat belt should be
worn snug, and always position the lap
belt as low as possible around the hips,
not the waist, and place the shoulder belt
over your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your
abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONSY51D-V-E01-7CEE9D29-DBCF-47A1-AD75-CAF60886623FINFINITI recommends that injured persons
use seat belts, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for specific recom-
mendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH COM-
FORT FUNCTION (front seats) (if so
equipped)
Y51D-V-E01-8017E748-E53E-4E9A-925C-A78E351F9CDCThe pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat
belt with a motor to help restrain front seat
occupants. This helps reduce the risk of
injury in a collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the
following emergency conditions:
.During emergency braking
. During sudden steering maneuvers .
Activation of the Intelligent Brake Assist
(IBA) system. (See “Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA) system” (P.5-87).)
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when:
. the seat belt is not fastened
. the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15
km/h) during emergency braking
. the vehicle speed is under 16 MPH (30
km/h) during sudden steering maneu-
vers.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when the brake pedal is not depressed
except when sudden steering maneuvers
occur and the Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
system activates.
The motor also retracts the seat belt when
the seat belt is fastened or unfastened.
When the seat belt is fastened, the motor
tightens the seat belt for a snug fit. When
the seat belt is unfastened, the motor
retracts the seat belt. If the seat belt is not
fully retracted, the motor retracts the seat
belt when the door is opened.
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the motor cannot retract the seat belt
when the seat belt is fastened or unfas- tened, it may indicate the pre-crash seat
belt system has a malfunction. Have your
INFINITI retailer check and repair the
system.
When the seat belt is retracted repeatedly
in a short period of time, the motor may
not be able to retract the seat belt. After 30
seconds, the motor reactivates 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 BELTY51D-V-E01-18E2371D-E3E1-4A90-845A-3B3AAE7D3142
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.

Y51D-V-E01-4EE25869-D4A8-4688-93AE-F4B2B0465998
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. If the seat belt can not be
unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release
the child by cutting the seat belt with a
suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to
release the seat belt.
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.1-20).
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.1-20) for more information.
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear seat.
Studies show that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-
tem (Air bag system) for the front passen-
ger. See “Supplemental restraint system ”
(P.1-38).
INFANTSY51D-V-E01-0DC2B248-D00D-4159-9D0A-861233779965Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that infants be placed
in child restraints that comply with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Cana-
dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle and always follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and
use.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-
STRAINTS
Y51D-V-E01-DF1C88B0-F8FE-4B02-B9A6-BB94E83BDF16
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.1-30).
—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.

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.1-45).

Rear-facing—step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” (P.1-18) and“Child re-
straints” (P.1-20) 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.

6. 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. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles. 7. Check to make sure the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use. If
the child restraint is loose, repeat steps
1 through 6.
