2017 INFINITI QX30 weight

SMALL CHILDREN
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at
least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in a rear-
facing child restraint as long as possible up to
the height or weight limit of the child restraint.
Children who outgrow the height or weight limit
of the rear-facing child restraint and are at least
1 year old should be secured in a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for minimum and
maximum weight and height recommendations.
INFINITI recommends that small children be
placed in child restraints that comply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Ca-
nadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
LARGER CHILDREN
Children should remain in a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness until they reach
the maximum height or weight limit allowed by
the child restraint manufacturer.
Children who are too large for child restraints
should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts which are provided. The seat belt may not
fit properly if the child is less than 4 ft 9 in
(142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40 lbs(18 kg) and 80 lbs (36 kg). A booster seat
should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit.
Once a child outgrows the height or weight limit
of the harness-equipped forward-facing child
restraint, INFINITI recommends that the child be
placed in a commercially available booster seat
to obtain proper seat belt fit. For a seat belt to
fit properly, the booster seat should raise the
child so that the shoulder belt is properly
positioned across the chest and the top, middle
portion of the shoulder. The shoulder belt
should not cross the neck or face and should
not fall off the shoulder. The lap belt should lie
snugly across the lower hips or upper thighs,
not the abdomen. A booster seat can only be
used in seating positions that have a three-
point type seat belt. The booster seat should fit
the vehicle seat and have a label certifying that
it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.
A booster seat should be used until the child
can pass the seat belt fit test below:
•Are the child’s back and hips against the
vehicle seatback?
•Is the child able to sit without slouching?
•Do the child’s knees bend easily over the
front edge of the seat with feet flat on the
floor?
•Can the child safely wear the seat belt (lap
belt low and snug across the hips and shoul-
der belt across mid-chest and shoulder)?
•Is the child able to use the properly adjusted
head restraint/headrest?
•Will the child be able to stay in position for
the entire ride?
If you answered no to any of these questions,
the child should remain in a booster seat using
a three-point type seat belt.
NOTE
Laws in some communities may follow different
guidelines. Check local and state regulations to
confirm your child is using the correct restraint
system before traveling.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and
do not allow a child in the cargo area. The child
could be seriously injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.

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, seeLATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) systemin the1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
systemsection.
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 certify-
ing that it complies with Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle 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 manu-
facturer’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.

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.

5. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly in
the center of the child restraint to compress
the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while
pulling up on the seat belt.6.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 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.
7.Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the seat
belt is not locked, repeat steps 1 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled.

Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the
rear seats or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a child restraint in the
front seat, it should be placed in a forward-
facing direction only. Move the seat to the
rearmost position. Child restraints for infants
must be used in the rear-facing direction and,
therefore, must not be used in the front seat.2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions. The back of the child re-
straint should be secured against the vehicle
seatback. If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place.Be sure to reinstall the head restraint/
headrest when the child restraint is removed.
For additional information about head
restraint/headrest adjustment, removal and
installation, refer toHead restraints/
Headrestsin the1. Safety — seats, seat

•If you notice that the front passenger air
bag status light is not operating as de-
scribed in this section. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer to check
the occupant classification system.
•Until you have confirmed with a retailer that
your passenger seat occupant classification
system is working properly, position the oc-
cupants in the rear seating positions.
This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI Ad-
vanced Air Bag System for the driver and front
passenger seats. This system is designed to
meet certification requirements under U.S.
regulations. It is also permitted in Canada.
All of the information, cautions and warnings in
this manual still apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is
located in the center of the steering wheel. The
front passenger supplemental front-impact air
bag is mounted in the dashboard above the
glove box. The front air bags are designed to
inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, al-
though they may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. They may not inflate in
certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or
lack of it) is not always an indication of proper
front air bag system operation.The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System monitors
information from the crash zone sensor, the Air
bag Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle sensor
and occupant classification sensor (pressure
sensor). Inflator operation is based on the
severity of a collision and seat belt usage for
the driver. For the front passenger, the occu-
pant classification sensor is also monitored.
Based on information from the sensor, only one
front air bag may inflate in a crash, depending
on the crash severity and whether the front
occupants are belted or unbelted. Additionally,
the front passenger air bag may be automati-
cally turned off under some conditions, depend-
ing on the weight detected on the passenger
seat and how the seat belt is used. If the front
passenger air bag is OFF, the front passenger
air bag status light will be illuminated (if the
seat is unoccupied, the light will not be illumi-
nated, but the air bag will be off). For additional
information, refer toFront passenger air bag
and status lightin the1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint systemsec-
tion. One front air bag inflating does not indi-
cate improper performance of the system.
If a crash occurs in which the vehicle’s air bags
deploy, by design the vehicle may not restart. If
this occurs, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for repair.If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information about the
system. If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, you may also
contact INFINITI. Contact information is con-
tained in the front of this Owner’s Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise
may be heard, followed by the release of
smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not
indicate a fire. Care should be taken to not
inhale it, as it may cause irritation and choking.
Those with a history of a breathing condition
should get fresh air promptly.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the face and
chest of the front occupants. They can help save
lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an
inflating front air bag may cause facial abra-
sions or other injuries. Front air bags do not
provide restraint to the lower body.
Even with INFINITI Advanced Air Bags, seat belts
should be correctly worn and the driver and
passenger seated upright as far as practical
away from the steering wheel or instrument
panel. The front air bags inflate quickly in order
to help protect the front occupants. Because of
this, the force of the front air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too

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.
