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.
•If the seat motor stops during seat adjust-
ment, check for obstructions. Remove the
obstruction before continuing.
•To avoid discharge of the battery, do not
operate the power seats for a long period
of time when the engine is not running.
NOTE
You can store the seat settings using the
memory function (see " Memory function
(if equipped)").Forward and backward:
Move the adjusting switch
1forward or
backward as shown to move the seat to the
desired position.
Reclining:
Move the adjusting switch
2forward or
backward as shown to move the seatback to
the desired position.
The reclining feature allows the adjustment
of the seatback for occupants of different
sizes to help obtain the proper seat belt fit.
(See "Seat belts" later in this section.)
The seatback may be reclined to allow occu-
pants to rest when the vehicle is parked.Seat lifter (if equipped):
1. Pull up or push down the adjusting switch
3as shown to adjust the seat height until
the desired position is achieved.
2. Tilt up or down the adjusting switch

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
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this sec-
tion. 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, reinstalland properly adjust the head restraint/
headrest before an occupant uses the seat-
ing position. Failure to follow these in-
structions 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 inte-
grated, 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 cen-
ter 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.

that can be connected to two anchors lo-
cated at certain seating positions in your
vehicle. With this system, you do not have to
use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint. Check your child restraint for a label
stating that it is compatible with LATCH. This
information may also be in the instructions
provided by the child restraint manufacturer.
When installing a child restraint, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child re-
straints.
Top tether anchor
WARNING
•Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Un-
der no circumstances are they to be used
to attach adult seat belts, or other items
or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so
could damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not be
properly installed using the damaged
anchorage, and a child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
•If the cargo cover (if so equipped) con-
tacts the top tether strap when it is at-
tached to the top tether anchor, remove
the cargo cover from the vehicle or se-
cure it on the cargo floor below its at-
tachment location. If the cargo cover is
not removed, it may damage the top
tether strap during a collision. A child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is dam-
aged.
•Do not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Properly secure the
cargo so it does not contact the top
tether strap. Cargo that is not properly
secured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage it during a col-
lision. A child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the top tether
strap is damaged.Top tether anchor point locations for
LATCH:
1Top tether straps
2Anchor points
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.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap, it is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

3. For child restraints that are equipped with
webbing-mounted attachments, remove
any additional slack from the anchor at-
tachments. Press downward and rear-
ward firmly in the center of the child re-
straint with your hand to compress the
vehicle seat cushion and seatback while
tightening the webbing of the anchor at-
tachments.4. 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 LATCH attachment
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 LATCH attachment holds the re-
straint in place. If the restraint is not se-
cure, tighten the LATCH attachment as
necessary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to try
a different child restraint or try installing
by using the vehicle seat belt (if appli-
cable). Not all child restraints fit in all types
of vehicles.5. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 2
through 4.
REAR-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
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.
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the "Child safety" and
"Child restraints" before installing a child re-
straint.LRS0673Z

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

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.
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.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the "Child safety" and
"Child restraints" before installing a child re-
straint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lb (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lb (29.5 kg), use the vehicle
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer's instructions for in-
stallation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint in the rear seats using
the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the LATCH lower anchors.
Check to make sure the LATCH attach-
ment is properly attached to the lower
anchors.
