Pull the tab and draw the armrest1forward
as shown until it is horizontal.
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, reinstall
and 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 ve-
hicle. 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:

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.

REAR-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the "Child safety" in the
"1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemen-
tal restraint system" section and "Child re-
straints" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system" section
before installing a child restraint. 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 manufactur-
er's instructions for installation. Follow these
steps to install a rear-facing child restraint in
the 2nd row 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. 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.

2. Route the seat belt tongue through thechild restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the tongue engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions for belt routing. 3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt re-
tractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts to the ELR mode when
the seat belt is fully retracted. 4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on
the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt.

5. Remove any additional slack from the seatbelt; press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint to com-
press the vehicle seat cushion and seat-
back while pulling up on the seat belt. 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 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.
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" in the
"1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemen-
tal restraint system" section and "Child re-
straints" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system" section
before installing a child restraint.
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. If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap
and secure the tether strap to the tether
anchor point. For additional information,
refer to "Installing top tether strap" in the
"1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint system" section.
Do not install child restraints that require
the use of a top tether strap in seating
positions that do not have a top tether
anchor.3. The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed. For additional infor-
mation about head restraint/headrest ad-
justment, refer to "Head restraints/
Headrests" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system"
section. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint/
headrest and it is interfering with the
proper child restraint fit, try another seat-
ing position or a different child restraint.
