6. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly in
the center of the child restraint with your
knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while pulling up on the seat
belt.
7. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.8. 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 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 re-
straint 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 front
passenger seat, place the ignition switch in
the ON position. The front passenger air
bag status OFF light should illuminate. If
this light is not illuminated refer toFront
passenger air bag and status lightin the
1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint systemsection.Move the
child restraint to another seating position.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. After the child restraint is removed
and the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

Installing top tether strap
WARNING
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.
The child restraint top tether strap must be
used when installing the child restraint with
seat belts.
First, secure the child restraint with the seat
belt.Outboard seating positions with removable
head restraints/headrests:
1. If necessary raise or remove the head
restraint/headrest and store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head restraint/
headrest when the child restraint is re-
moved. For additional information about

BOOSTER SEATS
For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the instruc-
tions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured or
killed in a sudden stop or collision greatly in-
creases:
•Make sure the shoulder portion of the belt
is away from the child’s face and neck and
the lap portion of the belt does not cross the
stomach.
•Make sure the shoulder belt is not behind
the child or under the child’s arm.
•A booster seat must only be installed in a
seating position that has a lap/shoulder
belt.Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in mind:
•Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
•Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.
LRS0501Z
1-36Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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 re-
straint 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 re-
straint when the booster seat is removed.
For additional information about head
restraint/headrest adjustment, removal and in-
stallation, refer toHead restraints/Headrests
in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint systemsection.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper booster seat fit,
try another seating position or a different
booster seat.4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low
and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions for adjusting the seat belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat
belt toward the retractor to take up extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion of the
child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer’s instructions for
adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and instruc-
tions for properly fastening a seat belt
shown inPrecautions on seat belt usage
earlier in this section.

If the status of the front-passenger front air bag
changes while the vehicle is in motion, an air
bag display message appears in the vehicle
information display (seeSupplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) air bag warning light
earlier in this section). When the front passen-
ger seat is occupied, always pay attention to
the and AIRBAG OFF> indicator lamps. Be aware of the
status of the front-passenger front air bag both
before and during the journey.
If the indicator lamp
remains off and/or the ON> indicator lamp lights up, do not install a
rearward-facing child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat. For further information
seeTroubleshootinglater in this section.
Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described
below in accordance with U.S. regulations. If
the front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not
inflate in a crash. The driver air bag and other
air bags in your vehicle are not part of this
system. The purpose of the regulation is to help
reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger seatoccupants, such as children, by requiring the
air bag to be automatically turned OFF. Certain
sensors are used to meet the requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this ve-
hicle is a pressure sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the seat by
weight. For example, if a child is in the front
passenger seat, the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System is designed to turn the front passenger
air bag OFF in accordance with the regulations.
Also, if a child restraint of the type specified in
the regulations is on the seat, its weight and
the child’s weight can be detected and cause
the air bag to turn OFF. Front passenger seat
adult occupants who are properly seated and
using the seat belt as outlined in this manual
should not cause the front passenger air bag to
be automatically turned OFF. For small adults it
may be turned OFF, however if the occupant
takes his/her weight off the seat cushion (for
example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on an
edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out of
position), this could cause the sensor to turn
the air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated
and wearing the seat belt properly for the most
effective protection by the seat belt and supple-
mental air bag. INFINITI recommends that pre-
teens and children be properly restrained in a
rear seat. INFINITI also recommends that appro-
priate child restraints and booster seats beproperly installed in a rear seat. If this is not
possible, the occupant classification sensor is
designed to operate as described above to turn
the front passenger air bag OFF for specified
child restraints as required by the regulations.
Failing to properly secure child restraints and to
use the ALR mode may allow the restraint to tip
or move in a collision or sudden stop. This can
also result in the passenger air bag inflating in
a crash instead of being OFF. For additional
information about proper use and installation,
refer toChild restraintsin the1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
systemsection.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the
front passenger air bag is designed not to
inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects
placed on the seat could result in air bag
inflation, because of the object’s weight de-
tected by the occupant classification sensor.
Other conditions could also result in air bag
inflation, such as if a child is standing on the
seat, or if two children are on the seat, contrary
to the instructions in this manual. Always be
sure that you and all vehicle occupants are
seated and restrained properly.
