All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved child
restraints for infants and small children. See
"Child restraints" in the "1. Safety — seats,
seat belts and supplemental restraint system"
section for more information.
A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle
by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor
and Tethers for CHildren) system or with the
vehicle seat belt. For additional information,
refer to "Child restraints" in the "1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system" section.
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens and
children be restrained in the rear seat. Stud-
ies show that children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
This is especially important because your ve-
hicle has a supplemental restraint system
(air bag system) for the front passenger.
(See "Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS)" later in this section.)
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that infants be placed
in child restraints that comply with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or CanadianMotor Vehicle Safety Standards. You should
choose a child restraint which fits your ve-
hicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
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 re-
straint. 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 har-
ness. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
for minimum and maximum weight and
height recommendations. INFINITI recom-
mends that small children be placed in child
restraints that comply with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. You should choose
a child restraint that fits your vehicle and
always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions 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.
1-18Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
•The seat belts, the side air bags and cur-
tain air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat with both feet on the floor. The
side air bag and curtain air bag inflate
with great force. Do not allow anyone to
place their hand, leg or face near the side
air bag on the side of the seatback of the
front seat or near the side roof rails. Do
not allow anyone sitting in the front
seats or rear outboard seats to extend
their hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in
the previous illustrations.
•When sitting in the rear seats, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seats. If side air bags and curtain air
bags inflate, you may be seriously in-
jured. Be especially careful with chil-
dren, who should always be properly re-
strained. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the illus-
trations.
•Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with the side
air bag inflation.SSS0162Z

•The front passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or a person with a build correspond-
ing to that of an adult, the AIRBAG ON> indicator light lights up after
the system self-test and remains lit. This
indicates that the front passenger front air
bag is enabled.
If the automatic front passenger front air bag
deactivation system is malfunctioning, the
red
restraint system warning light in the
combination meter and the AIRBAG OFF> indicator light light up simul-
taneously. The front passenger front air bag
is disabled in this case and does not deploy
during an accident. Have the system checked
as soon as possible by qualified technicians. It
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

The
indicator lamp lights up and
remains lit, even though the front
passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or a person with a build
corresponding to that of an adult
•Make sure the conditions for a correct classification of the person on the front passenger seat are met (see "Front
passenger air bag" earlier in this section).
•If the indicator light remains lit, the front passenger seat may not be used.•Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
The
indicator lamp does not light up
and/or does not stay on.
•Make sure there is nothing between the seat and the child restraint system.•Make sure that the entire base of the child restraint system rests on the seat cushion of the front passenger seat.•When installing the child restraint system, make sure that the seat belt is tight. Do not pull the seat belt tight with the front
passenger seat adjustment. This could result in the seat belt and the child restraint system being pulled too tightly.
•Check that the child restraint system is installed correctly.•Make sure that no objects are applying additional weight to the seat.•Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

MessagePossible causes/consequences and solutions
[Front Passenger Airbag
Disabled See Operator's
Manual] The front-passenger front air bag is disabled during the journey although an adult or person of corresponding stature is on the front
passenger seat.
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 supplemental air bag.
If additional forces are applied to the seat, the system may interpret the occupant's weight as lower than it actually is.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe area away from traffic as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Have the occupant on the front-passenger seat step out of the vehicle.
5. Make sure that the seat is unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch on the ignition.
6. Observe the indicator lights in the center console and the vehicle information display and check the
following. Seat unoccupied and ignition switched on:
- The and indicator lights must light up simultaneously for
approximately six seconds.
- The indicator lights must then light up and remain lit. If the indicator light is on, the automatic
front-passenger front air bag deactivation system has disabled the front-passenger front air bag (see "Front passenger air bag
and status light" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system" section)
- the [Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator's Manual] or [Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator's Manual]
display messages must not be shown in the vehicle information display.
7. Wait for a period of at least 60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been completed.
8. Make sure that the display messages do not appear in the vehicle information display.
If these conditions are met, the front-passenger seat can be occupied again. Whether the or
indicator light remains lit or goes out depends on how the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system classifies the
occupant.
If, after taking the steps above, you still believe the system is not operating properly, have it checked immediately. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

light" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system" section).
