2018 INFINITI QX60 Owners Manual

The recline feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. For additional information, refer to
“Precautions on seat belt usage” in this sec-
tion. Also, the seatback can be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the shift lever is in P (Park).
WARNING
∙ After adjustment, gently rock in the seatto make sure it is securely locked.
∙ Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious internal
injuries.
∙ For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be
upright. Always sit well back and upright
in the seat and adjust the seat belt prop-
erly. For additional information, refer to
“Precautions on seat belt usage” in this
section.

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the cargoarea or on the rear seats when they are in
the fold-down position. In a collision,
people riding in these areas without
proper restraints are more likely to be se-
riously injured or killed.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in
your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat
belt properly.
∙ Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any
luggage is on the rear seats.
∙ Head restraints should be adjusted prop- erly as they may provide significant pro-
tection against injury in an accident. Al-
ways replace and adjust them properly if
they have been removed for any reason.
∙ If the head restraints are removed for any reason, they should be securely stored to
prevent them from causing injury to pas-
sengers or damage to the vehicle in case
of sudden braking or an accident.

WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other ve-
hicle safety systems. They may provide ad-
ditional protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjustable head re-
straints must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the adjust-
ment after someone else uses the seat. Do
not attach anything to the head restraint
stalks or remove the head restraint. Do not
use the seat if the head restraint has been
removed. If the head restraint was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust the
head restraint before an occupant uses the
seating position. Failure to follow these in-
structions can reduce the effectiveness of
the head restraints. This may increase the
risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
∙ Your vehicle is equipped with a head re- straint that may be integrated, adjustable
or non-adjustable.
∙ Adjustable head restraints have multiple notches along the stalk to lock them in a
desired adjustment position.
∙ The non-adjustable head restraints have a single locking notch to secure them to
the seat frame.

tion.
