receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat
belt properly.

OTHER SPECIFICS ABOUT SEAT BELTS

Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted.
 Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
 Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.
 If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the ignition is turned ON with all doors
closed and with all seat belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the system. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
 See the vehicle owner’s manual for more detailed information to help you better understand
the important safety warnings, system features, operation and maintenance of your vehicle’s
seat belts.
 Always have seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, inspected by
an Infiniti retailer after any collision.

CONCERN FOR YOUR SAFETY
INFINITI urges you to use your available seat belt restraint system whenever you drive, even if
your vehicle is equipped with supplemental air bags. Please ask all of your passengers to buckle
up too. For children, make sure they are secured in an appropriate child restraint or booster
seat.* Seat belts do save lives. See the vehicle owner’s manual for important safety details.




Both INFINITI and your INFINITI retailer are dedicated to serving your automotive needs. Your
complete satisfaction with your vehicle and your INFINITI retailer are our primary concerns. Your
INFINITI retailer is available to assist you with your automobile sales, parts and service
requirements.

If, however, a situation arises that you believe has not been addressed to your satisfaction, we
ask that you take the following steps:

STEP 1:
Discuss the situation with the INFINITI retailer management. If a problem still exists, contact the
retailer’s Consumer Affairs manager or owner. They are best equipped to resolve the matter for
you.

* Please, see the vehicle owner’s manual and child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for complete
details.

STEP 2:
If the concern still has not been addressed to your satisfaction, please contact our INFINITI
Consumer Affairs Department using our toll-free telephone number:

1-800-662-6200

The Consumer Affairs Department will ask for the following information:
 Your name, address, and telephone number
 Date of purchase
 Current odometer reading
 Your INFINITI retailer’s name
 Details of the concern

Alternatively, you can write to INFINITI with the above information at:

STEP 3:
In the event that you believe INFINITI has been unable to address the issue with your vehicle
satisfactorily with you, a special automotive complaint resolution program called BBB AUTO LINE
is available to you. The Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. (BBB) independently operates
the BBB AUTO LINE program.

For information about the BBB AUTO LINE in your area, please call us (INFINITI) toll-free at 1-800-
662-6200. We will be happy to provide you with information about BBB AUTO LINE. Alternatively,
you may contact the BBB:

BBB AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
3033 Wilson Blvd.
Suite 600
Arlington, VA 22201
1 -800-955-5100

If you call the BBB, its staff will record the details of your complaint by telephone. They will ask
for the same information as in Step 2.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts: mediation and arbitration. The BBB AUTO
LINE staff will attempt to provide suggestions for resolving the problem during mediation. If a

2016 INFINITI Consumer Safety & Air Bag Information Guide 18
satisfactory resolution has not been achieved during mediation, you will have the opportunity to
present your case personally before an impartial person or three-person panel. The arbitrator(s)
will make a decision after the arbitration hearing.

The BBB must send you a final decision in your case within forty (40) days (plus seven days if
you have not contacted the proper person from the retailer or INFINITI) unless you delay the
process. If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding on you and INFINITI. If you do not
accept the decision, it will not be legally binding on you or INFINITI. (However, in some states, if
the decision is not accepted, it may be introduced either by you or by INFINITI as evidence in a
subsequent court action.)

BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute settlement mechanism operated to comply with applicable
Federal law and regulations. In states where BBB AUTO LINE is available, you are required to use
BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies under Title I of the Federal
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. If you choose to seek remedies other
than those created by Title I of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (for example, under state law),
that Federal Act does not require you to first use BBB AUTO LINE. The program is still available to
you, however, and may be of considerable assistance. Some states specify that informal dispute
settlement mechanisms such as BBB AUTO LINE must be used before you may file a lawsuit
under state law, and/or before you may have certain other rights or remedies available under
state law. In accordance with those states’ laws, INFINITI requires the prior use of BBB AUTO LINE
in good faith before you resort to such other processes, file a lawsuit, or seek other remedies
provided by state law. Please see the
Supplement to 2016 INFINITI Warranty Information Booklet
& 2016 INFINITI Owner’s Manual
for additional information.

BBB AUTO LINE may not be available in all states. We, INFINITI, would be pleased to provide you
with information about the availability of BBB AUTO LINE in your state. Alternatively, you can call
the BBB AUTO LINE telephone number listed on page 17.

ELIGIBILITY: INFINITI vehicles less than four years old from date delivered to the first retail buyer
or otherwise put into use, and with fewer than 60,000 miles, are eligible for the BBB AUTO LINE
program.

ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In support of our commitment to the “Total Ownership Experience,” INFINITI may occasionally
offer to pay or reimburse for part or all of the cost of making certain, specific repairs beyond or
outside of the terms of the warranty for some specific vehicle models. (Some states refer to such
programs as “adjustment programs.”) In such circumstances, INFINITI mails notices to all known
registered owners of affected vehicles. You may additionally inquire of your authorized INFINITI
retailer or of INFINITI directly (through the 1-800-662-6200 telephone number) of the applicability
of such programs to your vehicle.

INFINITI may occasionally offer special assistance that may pay for part or all of vehicle repairs
beyond the expiration of the limited warranty period on a case-by-case basis. Should you
experience unusual difficulties with your vehicle, please discuss the situation with your retailer.
If your retailer is unable to assist you, call the INFINITI Consumer Affairs Department toll-free at
1-800-662-6200 to discuss your concern. You will need to provide the Model, Model Year, VIN
(Vehicle Identification Number), mileage, and maintenance history on your vehicle. You will also
need to provide a detailed explanation of the concern, and include why you believe that INFINITI
should be responsible for the repair. Your request will be individually investigated and you will
be informed of INFINITI’s decision.
