2018 INFINITI QX30 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.

mum or MIN mark on the brake fluid
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light remains illuminated and
turns off when the engine is started. If the
light illuminates at any other time, it may
indicate that the brake system is not func-
tioning properly. If the BRAKE warning lightilluminates, stop the vehicle immediately and
contact an INFINITI retailer.
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Low tire pressure warning
light (if equipped)

Coolant warning light
WARNING
If the coolant warning light is lit, the engine
may not be being cooled sufficiently and
may be damaged.
Never drive with an overheated engine.
Driving when your engine is overheated can
cause some fluids which may have leaked
into the engine compartment to catch fire.
In addition, steam from an overheated en-
gine can cause serious burns, which can oc-
cur just by opening the hood.
There is a risk of injuryIf the red coolant warning light lights up while
the engine is running and the coolant tem-
perature gauge is at the start of the scale, the
temperature sensor for the coolant tempera-
ture gauge is faulty. The coolant temperature
is no longer being monitored. There is a risk of
engine damage if the coolant temperature is
too high.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying atten-
tion to road and traffic conditions, and switch
off the engine. Do not continue driving under
any circumstances.
Consult an INFINITI retailer.
If the red coolant warning light comes on
while the engine is running, with or without
an accompanying warning tone, it could
mean that:
•The coolant level is too low.
•If the coolant level is correct, the airflow to
the engine radiator may be blocked or the
electric engine radiator fan may be mal-
functioning.
•The coolant is too hot and the engine is no
longer being cooled sufficiently.
Observe the additional display messages in
the vehicle information display.
