WARNING
•The seatback should not be reclined any
more than needed for comfort. Seat belts
are most effective when the passenger sits
well back and straight up in the seat. If the
seat back is reclined, the risk of sliding un-
der the lap belt and being injured is in-
creased.
•For the most effective protection when the
vehicle is in motion, the seat should be up-
right. Always sit well back and upright in the
seat with both feet on the floor and adjust
the seat properly. (SeeSeat beltslater in
this section.)
•After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
•To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, do not leave children, people
who require the assistance of others, or
pets unattended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle
on a warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
•Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
•Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving
so full attention may be given to vehicle
operation. The seat may move suddenly and
could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not
to contact any moving parts to avoid possible
injuries and/or damage.

Power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
•The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor stops
during the seat adjustment, wait 30 seconds,
then reactivate the switch.
•To avoid discharge of the battery, do not
operate the power seats for a long period of
time when the engine is not running.

memory function (see Memory function (if
equipped) in the3. Pre-driving checks and ad-
justments section). Forward and backward

Move forward or backward the adjusting switch
1to the desired position.
Reclining

ARMREST (IF EQUIPPED)
Rear
Pull the tab and draw the armrest1forward
until it is horizontal.
Indicates that the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
Indicates that the seating position is
equipped with a non-removable head rest.
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may pro-
vide additional protection against injury in cer-
tain rear end collisions. Adjustable head
restraints/headrests must be adjusted prop-
erly, as specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses the seat.
Do not attach anything to the head restraint/
headrest stalks or remove the head restraint/
headrest. Do not use the seat if the head
restraint/headrest has been removed. If the
head restraint/headrest was removed, rein- stall and properly adjust the head restraint/
headrest before an occupant uses the seating
position. Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may increase the
risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
•Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints/headrests that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable.
•Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them
in a desired adjustment position.
•The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch to
secure them to the seat frame.
•Proper Adjustment:
– For the adjustable type, align the head restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.
– If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest
position.

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-7

INSTALL
1. Align the head restraint/headrest stalks withthe holes in the seat. Make sure that the
head restraint/headrest is facing the correct
direction. The stalk with the adjustment
notch
1must be installed in the hole with
the lock knob
2.
2. Push and hold the lock knob and push the head restraint/headrest down.
3. Properly adjust the head restraint/headrest before an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion.
ADJUST
For adjustable head restraint/ headrest
Adjust the head restraint/headrest so the cen-
ter is level with the center of your ears. If your
ear position is still higher than the recom-
mended alignment, place the head restraint/
headrest at the highest position.
Raise
To raise the head restraint/headrest, pull it up.
Make sure the head restraint/headrest is posi-
tioned from the stored position or any non-latch
position so the lock knob is engaged in the
notch before riding in that designated seating
position.

Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on
the buckle and guide the seat belt as it auto-
matically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat
belt movement by two separate methods:
•When the belt is pulled quickly from the
retractor.
•When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows:
•Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward
quickly. The retractor should lock and restrict
further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check,
get the system checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service, or
to learn more about seat belt operation.Shoulder belt height adjustment (if
equipped)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position that is best for you.
(See Fastening the seat belts earlier in this
section).
•To adjust, push the button and then move
the shoulder belt anchor to the desired po-
sition so that the belt passes over the center
of the shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not falling off of
your shoulder. Release the adjustment but-
ton to lock the shoulder belt anchor into
position.

1-16Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
•After adjustment, release the adjustment
button and then try to move the shoulder
belt down to make sure that it is securely
fixed in position.
•The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position that is best for you.
Failure to do so may reduce the effective-
ness of the entire restraint system and in-
crease the chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap/shoulder
belt and fasten it, an extender that is compat-
ible with the installed seat belts is available
that can be purchased. The extender adds
approximately 8 in (200 mm) of length and may
be used for either the driver or front passenger
seating position. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for assistance with purchasing
an extender if an extender is required.
WARNING
•Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made by
the same company which made the original
equipment seat belts, should be used with
the INFINITI seat belts.
•Adults and children who can use the stan-
dard seat belt should not use an extender.
Such unnecessary use could result in seri-
ous personal injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
•Never use seat belt extenders to install
child restraints. If the child restraint is not
secured properly, the child could be seri-
ously injured in a collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
•To clean the seat belt webbing,apply a mild
soap solution or any solution recommended
for cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then wipe
with a cloth and allow the seat belts to dry in
the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to
retract until they are completely dry.
•If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may
retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide
with a clean, dry cloth.
•Periodically check to see that the seat belt
and the metal components, such as buckles,
tongues, retractors, flexible wires and an-
chors, work properly. If loose parts, deterio-
ration, cuts or other damage on the webbing
is found, the entire seat belt assembly
should be replaced.
