2018 INFINITI QX30 child lock

Installing top tether strap
The child restraint top tether strap must be
used when installing the child restraint with
the LATCH lower anchor attachments. First,
secure the child restraint with the LATCH
lower anchors (rear outboard seating posi-
tions only).
The LATCH anchor points are provided to
install child restraints in the rear outboard
seating positions only, as shown. Do not at-
tempt to install a child restraint in the center
position using the LATCH anchors.
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used to attachadult seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed us-
ing the damaged anchorage, and a child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
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 re-
straint is removed. For additional informa-
tion about head restraint/headrest ad-
justment, removal and installation, refer to
"Head restraints/Headrests".
2. Position the top tether strap
1over the
seatback as shown.
3. Secure the tether strap to the tether an-
chor point
2on the seatback behind the
child restraint as shown.
4.
Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions to remove any
slack.
Outboard seating positions with fixed head
restraints/headrests:
1. If the child restraint has a single tether
strap, route the strap
1over the top of
the outer head restraint/headrest. If the
child restraint has two tether straps, route
them round each side of the outer head
restraint/headrest.
2. Secure the tether strap to the tether an-
chor point
2on the seatback behind the
child restraint as shown.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions to remove
any slack.
If you have any questions when installing
a top tether strap, it is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used
when installing a child restraint. Failure to
use the ALR mode will result in the child
restraint not being properly secured. The
NIC2849
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-29

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 nec-
essary, or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child re-
straints 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. Either the
indicator
light or
indicator light will illuminate depending
on the size of the child and the type of
child restraint used. See "Front passen-
ger air bag and status light". After the
child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.
If necessary, system operation can be
checked by using a special tool. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. Until you have
confirmed system operation, move the
child restraint to another position. See
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.

•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.
•Make sure the child’s head will be properly
supported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat. The seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. For example, if a
low back booster seat
1is chosen, the
vehicle seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. If the seatback is
lower than the center of the child’s ears, a
high back booster seat
2should be used.
•If the booster seat is compatible with your
vehicle, place the child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is compatible with
the child. Always follow all recommended
procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is be-
ing operated.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats or
the front passenger seat.
Booster seat installation
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
increases:
•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 be-
hind 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.
To avoid injury to a child, do not use the
lap/shoulder belt in the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) mode when using a
booster seat with the seat belts.
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the "Child safety", "Child
restraints" and "Booster seats" before install-
ing a child restraint.

STORAGE NETS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Do not place sharp objects in the nets to
help prevent injury in an accident or sudden
stop.
Storage nets are fitted in the front-passenger
footwell and on the back of the driver's and
front passenger seat.
PARCEL SHELF
WARNING
•Never put anything on the parcel shelf,
no matter how small. Any object on it
could cause an injury in case of an acci-
dent or if the brakes are applied sud-
denly.
•Do not leave the parcel shelf in position
when it is disengaged from the grooves.
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury
•Properly secure cargo and do not allow
it to contact the top tether strap when it
is attached to the top tether anchor.
Cargo that is not properly secured or
cargo that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap during
a collision. If the cargo cover 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 the cargo floor below its attachment
location. If the cargo cover is not re-
moved, it may damage the top tether
strap during a collision. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision
if the child restraint top tether strap is
damaged.
•Do not use the cargo cover if the rear
seats are folded down.
Removal
1. Open the lift gate (see "Lift gate lock").
2. Detach both of the cords (left and right)
1from the inside of the lift gate.
3. Detach the parcel shelf
2by simply pull-
ing it rearwards through the lift gate
opening.

come involved in serious accidents.
•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 assis-
tance of others, or pets unattended in
