To avoid injury to a child, do not use the lap/
shoulder belt in the Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) mode when using a booster seat with
the seat belts.
For additional information, refer to all Warnings
and Cautions in the Child safetyin the
1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system section,Child restraints in
the 1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint system section andBooster
seats in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system section before
installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the rear seat or in the front passenger seat: 1.
If you must install a booster seat in the front
seat, move the seat to the rearmost position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a front-facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions. 3. The booster seat should be positioned on
the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint to obtain the correct booster seat
fit. If the head restraint is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall the
head restraint when the booster seat is re-
moved.
For additional information about head
restraint/headrest adjustment, removal and
installation, refer to Head
restraints/Headrests in the1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system section.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper booster seat fit,

The seat belt warning light may also illuminate
if there are objects on the front passenger seat.
Remove the objects and stow them in a safe
place.
If the seat belt warning light flashes, together
with an intermittent warning tone, this means
that the driver or passenger has not fastened
their seat belt, and the speed of the vehicle is
exceeding 15 MPH (25 km/h).
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) air bag warning light
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on,
it could mean that the front air bag, driver’s
knee air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not operate
in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air
bag warning light illuminates to indicate that
the system is operational. The light then tuns
off within a few seconds after the engine is
started. If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact
air bag, roof-mounted curtain air bag and pre-
tensioner systems need servicing:
•The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on for longer than a few seconds once
the engine is running.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
•The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for these services. Unless checked and re-
paired, the supplemental restraint system (air
bag system) and/or the pretensioner systems
may not function properly. For additional infor-
mation, refer to Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system section.
Coolant warning light
WARNING
If the coolant warning light is lit, the engine
may not be being cooled sufficiently and may
be damaged.
Never drive with an overheated engine. Driving
when your engine is overheated can cause some fluids which may have leaked into the
engine compartment to catch fire.
In addition, steam from an overheated engine
can cause serious burns, which can occur just
by opening the hood.
There is a risk of injury
If the red coolant warning light lights up while the
engine is running and the coolant temperature
gauge is at the start of the scale, the temperature
sensor for the coolant temperature gauge is faulty.
The coolant temperature is no longer being moni-
tored. There is a risk of engine damage if the
coolant temperature is too high.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine. Do not continue driving under any
circumstances.
Consult an INFINITI retailer.
If the red coolant warning light comes on while
the engine is running, with or without an ac-
companying warning tone, it could mean that:
•The coolant level is too low.
•If the coolant level is correct, the airflow to
the engine radiator may be blocked or the
electric engine radiator fan may be malfunc-
tioning.

[Front Passenger Airbag
Enabled See Operator’s
Manual] The front-passenger front air bag is enabled during the journey although:
•A child or child restraint as specified in U.S. regulations is located on the front-passenger seat.
or
•The front-passenger seat is not occupied.
The system may detect objects or forces that are adding to the weight applied to the seat.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe area away from traffic as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Open the front-passenger door.
5. Remove the child and the child restraint system from the front passenger seat.
6. Make sure there are no objects applying additional force to the seat. The system may otherwise detect the additional force and interpret the seat occupant’s weight as greater than it actually is.
7. Make sure that the seat is unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch on the ignition.
8. Observe the
- The
seconds.
- The
front-passenger front air bag deactivation system has disabled the front-passenger front air bag (see Front passenger air bag and
status light in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system section).
- the [Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator’s Manual] or [Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator’s Manual] display

TIRE DRESSINGS
INFINITI does not recommend the use of tire
dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating
to the tires to help reduce discoloration of the
rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires,
it may react with the coating and form a com-
pound. This compound may come off the tire
while driving and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the
following precautions:
•Use a water-based tire dressing. The coating
on the tire dissolves more easily than with an
oil-based tire dressing.
•Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help
prevent it from entering the tire tread/
grooves (where it would be difficult to re-
move).
•Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry
towel. Make sure the tire dressing is com-
pletely removed from the tire tread/grooves.
•Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom-
mended by tire dressing manufacturer.Occasionally remove loose dust from the inte-
rior trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum
cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl
and leather surfaces with a clean, soft cloth
dampened in mild soap solution, then wipe
clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Some fabric
protectors contain chemicals that may stain or
bleach the seat material.
Use a soft cloth dampened only with water to
clean the meter and gauge lens covers.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam
cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the
seat or occupant classification sensor. This
can also affect the operation of the air bag
system and result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION
•Never use benzine, thinner or any similar
material on the interior surfaces or surface
damage may occur. Such damage is not cov-
ered under the INFINITI warranty.
•Small dirt particles can be abrasive and
damaging to leather surfaces and should be
removed promptly. Do not use saddle soap,
car waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids,
solvents, detergents or ammonia-based
cleaners as they damage the leather’s natu-
ral finish.
•Never use fabric protectors unless recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
•Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter
or gauge lens covers. It may damage the
lens covers.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could
affect the vehicle interior. If you use an air
freshener, take the following precautions:
•Hanging-type air fresheners can cause per-
manent discoloration when they contact ve-
hicle interior surfaces. Place the air fresh-
ener in a location that allows it to hang free
and not contact an interior surface.
•Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on
the ventilators. These products can cause
immediate damage and discoloration when
spilled on interior surfaces.

8. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-fore 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. 9. 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 8.
10. If the child restraint is installed in the frontpassenger seat, place the ignition switch in
the ON position. Either the
will illuminate depending on the size of the
child and the type of child restraint used.
See “Front passenger air bag and status
light” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system” sec-
tion. After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.
