Shoulder belt height adjustment (if
equipped)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position that is best for you.
(See "Fastening the seat belts " earlier in this
section).
•To adjust, push the buttonAas shown
and then move the shoulder belt anchor to
the desired position so that the belt passes
over the center of the shoulder. The belt
should be away from your face and neck,
but not falling off of your shoulder. Re-
lease the adjustment button to lock the
shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING
•After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and then try to move the
shoulder belt down to make sure that it
is securely fixed in position.
•The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position that is best
for you. Failure to do so may reduce the
effectiveness of the entire restraint sys-
tem and increase the chance or severity
of injury in an accident.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it
is not possible to properly fit the lap/shoulder
belt and fasten it, an extender that is compat-
ible with the installed seat belts is available
that can be purchased. The extender adds
approximately 8 in (200 mm) of length and
may be used for either the driver or front
passenger seating position. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for as-
sistance with purchasing an extender if an
extender is required.
WARNING
•Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which made the
original equipment seat belts, should be
used with the INFINITI seat belts.
•Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an ex-
tender. Such unnecessary use could re-
sult in serious personal injury in the
event of an accident.
•Never use seat belt extenders to install
child restraints. If the child restraint is
not secured properly, the child could be
seriously injured in a collision or a sud-
den stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
•To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are com-
pletely dry.

1-16Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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

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 certi-
fying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle 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 adjust-
ments to be sure the child restraint is com-
patible with your child. Choose a child re-
straint that is designed for your child’s
height and weight. Always follow all rec-
ommended 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 anchors) 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
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is be-
ing operated. Canadian law requires the top
tether strap on front-facing child restraints
to be secured to the designated 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
compatible child restraints. This system may
also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX
compatible 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 manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation.
The LATCH anchor points are provided to
install child restraints in the rear outboard
seating positions only. Do not attempt to
install a child restraint in the center position
using the LATCH anchors.
LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use and installation of child
restraints could result in serious injury or
death of a child or other passengers in a
sudden stop or collision:
•Attach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown in
the illustration.
•Do not secure a child restraint in the cen-
ter rear seating position using the
LATCH lower anchors. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly.
•Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area.
Feel to make sure there are no obstruc-
tions over the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material. The
child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly if the lower anchors are obstructed.
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 attach
adult seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage

–Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle that is too close to your
vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
•The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
•The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal operating
condition.
•The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other ve-
hicles: – Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
•Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass through
the detection zone quickly.
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The BSW indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is travel-
ling much faster than your vehicle, the indica-
tor light may not illuminate before the de-
tected vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.

Use IPA for parking spaces that are:
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction
of travel.
•On straight roads, not bends.
•On the same level as the road, e. g. not on
the sidewalk.
For vehicles with the towbar folded out, the
minimum length for parking spaces is slightly
longer.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle,
you may not use IPA. Once the electrical
connection is established between your ve-
hicle and the trailer, IPA is no longer available.
The sonar function is deactivated for the rear
area
DETECTING PARKING SPACES
The IPA system can only be used to park in
spaces that have vehicles directly on either
side of the parking space.
Objects located above the height range of
IPA will not be detected when the parking
space is measured. These are not taken into
account when the parking procedure is calcu-
lated, e. g. overhanging loads, tail sections or
loading ramps of goods vehicles.
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection
range, IPA may steer too early. This could
cause a collision. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and switch off the IPA.
For further information on the detection
range see "Range of the sensors" later in this
section.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces at
right angles to the direction of travel if:
•Two parking spaces are located directly
next to one another.
•The parking space is directly next to a low
obstacle such as a low curb.
•You forward park.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces that
are parallel or at right angles to the direction
of travel if:
•The parking space is on a curb.
•The system reads the parking space as
being blocked, for example, by foliage or
grass paving blocks.
•The area is too small for the vehicle to
maneuver into.
•The parking space is bordered by an ob-
stacle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer.
