2017 INFINITI QX30 belt

CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. Check the seat-
ing surface and buckles before placing your
child in a child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal child
restraint anchor system, referred to as the
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
system. Some child restraints include rigid or
webbing-mounted attachments that can be con-
nected to these anchors.
For details, see LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) system in the1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system section.
If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints for
infants and small children of various sizes.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:
•Choose only a restraint with a label certifying
that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 213.
•Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.
•If the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is
designed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
•If the combined weight of the child and child
restraint is less than 65 lb (29.5 kg), you may
use either the LATCH anchors or the seat belt
to install the child restraint (not both at the
same time).
•If the combined weight of the child and child
restraint is greater than 65 lb (29.5 kg), use
the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint.
•Be sure to follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions for installation.
NOTE
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territo-
ries require that infants and small children be
restrained in an approved child restraint at all
times while the vehicle is being operated. Cana-
dian law requires the top tether strap on front- facing child restraints to be secured to the des-
ignated anchor point on the vehicle.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system com-
patible child restraints. This system may also
be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compat-
ible system. With this system, you do not have
to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint unless the combined weight of the
child and child restraint exceeds 65 lb (29.5 kg).
If the combined weight of the child and child
restraint is greater than 65 lb (29.5 kg), use the
vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
The LATCH anchor points are provided to install
child restraints in the rear outboard seating
positions only.

of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop
or collision:
•Attach LATCH system compatible child re-
straints only at the locations shown in the
illustration.
•Do not secure a child restraint in the center
rear seating position using the LATCH lower
anchors. The child restraint will not be se-
cured properly.
•Inspect the lower anchors by inserting 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.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to the ve-
hicle. Doing so could damage the child re-
straint anchorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision.
LATCH lower anchor location
The LATCH 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
LATCH lower anchors.
Installing child restraint LATCH lower
anchor 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 instruc-
tions in this manual and those supplied with
the child restraints.

WARNING
•Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no cir-
cumstances are they to be used to attach
adult seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint will not be properly installed using
the damaged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
•If the cargo cover (if so equipped) contacts
the top tether strap when it is attached to
the top tether anchor, remove the cargo
cover from the vehicle or secure it on thecargo floor below its attachment location. If
the cargo cover is not removed, it may dam-
age the top tether strap during a collision. A
child could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is damaged.
•Do not allow cargo to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top tether
anchor. Properly secure the cargo so it does
not contact the top tether strap. Cargo that
is not properly secured or cargo that con-
tacts the top tether strap may damage it
during a collision. A child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the top
tether strap is damaged.

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 2
through 4.
REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) must be used when install-
ing 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.
Rear-facing child restraints must not be used
on the front seats. For additional information, refer to all Warnings
and Cautions in the

mental restraint system section before install-
ing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lb (29.5 kg). If the combined weight
of the child and the child restraint is greater
than 65 lb (29.5 kg), use the vehicle seat belt
(not the lower anchors) to install the child
restraint. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

restraint and insert it into the buckle until
you hear and feel the tongue engage. Be
sure to follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions for belt routing. 3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor
is in the ALR mode (child restraint mode). It
reverts to the ELR mode when the seat belt is
fully retracted.
