2018 INFINITI QX60 light

WARNING
∙ Always route the shoulder belt over yourshoulder and across your chest. Never
put the belt behind your back, under your
arm or across your neck. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
∙ Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in an
accident. ∙ Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
∙ Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
∙ Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
∙ Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.
∙ If the seat belt warning light glows con- tinuously while the ignition is turned ON
with all doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in
the system. Have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material, or install de-
vices that may change the seat belt rout-
ing or tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system. Modi-
fying or tampering with the seat belt sys-
tem may result in serious personal injury. ∙ Once a seat belt pretensioner(s) have ac-
tivated, they cannot be reused and must
be replaced together with the retractor.
It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ All seat belt assemblies, including retrac- tors and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after any collision. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. INFINITI recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate prop-
erly. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be inspected
and replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
∙ All child restraints and attaching hard- ware should be inspected after any colli-
sion. Always follow the restraint manu-
facturer’s inspection instructions and
replacement recommendations. The child
restraints should be replaced if they are
damaged.

specific recommendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH
COMFORT FUNCTION (front
seats) (if so equipped)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt
with a motor to help restrain front seat occu-
pants. This helps reduce the risk of injury in a
collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the
following emergency conditions:∙ During emergency braking.
∙ During sudden steering maneuvers. ∙ Activation of the Forward Emergency
Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian Detection
system (if so equipped). For additional
information, refer to “Forward Emer-
gency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian De-
tection system” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
∙ In the event of certain types of rollover collisions.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when: ∙ the seat belt is not fastened.
∙ the vehicle speed is under 15 km/h (10 mph) during emergency braking.
∙ the vehicle speed is under 30 km/h (19 mph) during sudden steering maneu-
vers.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when the brake pedal is not depressed except
when sudden steering maneuvers occur and
the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with
Pedestrian Detection system (if so equipped)
activates.
The motor also retracts the seat belt when
the seat belt is fastened or unfastened. When
the seat belt is fastened, the motor tightens
the seat belt for a snug fit. When the seat belt

Bas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
C.Be
sure the shoulder belt is routed over your
shoulder and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear seating
positions three-point seat belts have two
modes of operation: ∙ Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
∙ Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The ELR mode allows the seat belt to extend
and retract to allow the driver and passen- gers some freedom of movement in the seat.
The ELR locks the seat belt when the vehicle
slows down rapidly or during certain impacts.
The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks
the seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated, the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the seat
belt tongue is detached from the buckle and
fully retracted. The seat belt returns to the
ELR mode after the seat belt fully retracts.
For additional information, refer to “Child re-
straints” in this section.
The ALR mode should be used only for child
restraint installation. During normal seat
belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode
should not be activated. If it is activated, it
may cause uncomfortable seat belt tension.
It can also change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag and
status light” in this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that the seatbacks are completely secured
in the latched position. If they are not com-
pletely secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, press the button on
the buckle
1. The seat belt automatically
retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat
belt movement by two separate methods:
∙ When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the retractor.
∙ When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no cir-
cumstances are they to be used to attach
adult seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint will not be properly installed using
the damaged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
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
restraint could tip over or be loose and
cause injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision. Also, it can change the operation
of the front passenger air bag. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front passen-
ger air bag and status light” in this section.For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the “Child safety” and
“Child restraints” sections of this manual be-
fore installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation. Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the rear seats or in the front passenger
seat:
1. If you must install a child restraint in the
front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move
the seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in the
rear-facing direction and, therefore,
must not be used in the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions.
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
restraint is removed. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Head
restraints/headrests” in this section.

8. After attaching the child restraint, test itbefore 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 necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint. Not
all child restraints fit in all types of ve-
hicles. 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 thefront passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the ON position. The front pas-
senger air bag status light
should
illuminate. If this light is not illuminated
refer to “Front passenger air bag and
status light” in this section. Move the
child restraint to another seating posi-
tion. Have the system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.

If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and
it is interfering with the proper booster
seat fit, try another seating position or a
different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure
to follow the booster seat manufactur-
er’s instructions for adjusting the seat
belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up ex-
tra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the top, middle portion
of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow
the booster seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in- structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in “Three-point type seat belt
with retractor” in this section. 7. If the booster seat is installed in the front
passenger seat, place the ignition switch
in the ON position. The front passenger
air bag status light
may or may not
illuminate, depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat being
used. For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in this section.
PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems:
∙ Driver and front passenger supplemental front-impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System)
∙ Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bag
∙ Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag
∙ Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag system
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger in
certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side-impact collisions.
The side air bags are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
LRS0865
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS)
1-50Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in front and
rear outboard seating positions in certain
side-impact or rollover collisions. In a side
impact, the curtain air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted. In a rollover, the curtain air bags are
designed to inflate and remain inflated for a
short time.
The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front
passenger seat belts and is not a substitute
for them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a suit-
able distance away from the steering wheel,
instrument panel and door finishers. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Seat belts” in
this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.
WARNING
∙ The front air bags ordinarily will not in- flate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity frontal
collision. Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
∙ The front passenger air bag will not in- flate if the passenger air bag status light
is lit. For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in this section. ∙ The seat belts and the front air bags are
most effective when you are sitting well
back and upright in the seat. The front air
bags inflate with great force. Even with
the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System, if
you are unrestrained, leaning forward,
sitting sideways or out of position in any
way, you are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also receive
serious or fatal injuries from the front air
bag if you are up against it when it in-
flates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from
the steering wheel or instrument panel.
Always properly use the seat belts.
WRS0031

∙ The driver and front passenger seat beltbuckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage then inflates the air bags
as needed. Failure to properly wear seat
belts can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
∙ The front passenger seat is equipped with an occupant classification sensor
(weight sensor) that turns the front pas-
senger air bag OFF under some condi-
tions. This sensor is only used in this seat.
Failure to be properly seated and wear-
ing the seat belt can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” in this
section.
∙ Keep hands on the outside of the steering wheel. Placing them inside the steering
wheel rim could increase the risk that
they are injured when the front air bag
inflates.
