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. To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows.
∙ Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check, get the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service, or to learn more about seat belt
operation.

shoulder. Release the adjustment button to
lock the shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING
∙ After adjustment, release the adjust-ment button and try to move the shoul-
der belt anchor up and down to make sure
it is securely fixed in position.
∙ The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position best for you.
Failure to do so may reduce the effective-
ness of the entire restraint system and
increase the chance or severity of injury
in an accident.
∙ The shoulder belt should rest on the middle of the shoulder. It must not rest
against the neck.
∙ Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any way.
∙ Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is secured by trying to move the shoulder
belt anchor up and down after
adjustment.
Seat belt hook
When the seat belt is not in use and when
folding down the rear seats, hook the rear
seat belts on the seat belt hooks.
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
for purchase. The extender adds approxi-
mately 200 mm (8 in) of length and may be
used for either the driver or front passenger
seating position. Seat belt extenders are available for the:
∙ Driver and front passenger seating posi- tion
∙ 2nd and 3rd row seating position
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for assistance with purchasing an ex-
tender 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 INFINITI seat belts.
∙ Adults and children who can use the stan- dard seat belt should not use an extender.
Such unnecessary use could result in seri-
ous 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 or killed in a collision or a
sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
∙To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or car-
pet. 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 completely dry.
∙ If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide
of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts
may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder
belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
∙ Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components, such as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible
wires and anchors, work properly. If loose
parts, deterioration, cuts or other dam-
age on the webbing is found, the entire
seat belt assembly should be replaced.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use and installation
of child restraints could result in serious
injury or death of a child or other passen-
gers in a sudden stop or collision:
– The child restraint must be used and installed properly. Always follow all of
the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for installation and use.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
1-26Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

– Infants and children should never beheld on anyone’s lap. Even the stron-
gest adult cannot resist the forces of a
collision.
– Do not put a seat belt around both a child and another passenger.
– INFINITI recommends that all child re- straints be installed in the rear seat.
Studies show that children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat. If you must
install a forward-facing child restraint
in the front seat, refer to “Forward-
facing child restraint installation us-
ing the seat belts” in this section.
– Never install a rear-facing child re- straint in the front seat. An inflating
air bag could seriously injure or kill a
child. A rear-facing child restraint
must only be used in the rear seat.
– Be sure to purchase a child restraint that will fit the child and vehicle. Some
child restraints may not fit properly in
your vehicle. – Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts,
harnesses or for attaching 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 dam-
aged anchorage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.
– Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts or harnesses.
– A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
– Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child restraint.
– Infants and children should always be placed in an appropriate child re-
straint while in the vehicle.
∙ When the child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with the LATCH system
or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, loose objects can injure occupants
or damage the vehicle.CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can be-
come very hot. Check the seating surface
and buckles before placing a child in the
child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal child
restraint anchor system, referred to as the
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system. Some child restraints in-
clude rigid or webbing-mounted attachments
that can be connected to these anchors. For
additional information, refer to “LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
system” in this section.
If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints
for infants and children of various sizes.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind: ∙ Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-27

∙ If the child restraint is compatible withyour vehicle, place your child in the child
restraint and check the various adjust-
ments to be sure the child restraint is
compatible with your child. Choose a
child restraint that is designed for your
child’s height and weight. Always follow
all recommended procedures.
Some states, provinces or territories require
that infants and small children be restrained
in an approved child restraint at all times
while the vehicle is being opera=ted.
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. The LATCH lower anchor points are provided
to install child restraints in the following po-
sitions only:
∙ 2nd row bench seat – outboard seating positions
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 center rear seating position using the
LATCH system anchors. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly.

– Inspect the lower anchors by insertingyour fingers into the lower anchor
area. Feel to make sure there are no
obstructions over the anchors such as
seat belt webbing or seat cushion ma-
terial. The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the lower anchors
are obstructed.
– Child restraint anchorages are de- signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts,
harnesses or for attaching 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 dam-
aged anchorage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.

lower anchor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include
two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments
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-
straint.
Top tether anchor
WARNING
∙ 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.
∙ Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the ve-
hicle. Doing so could damage the child re-
straint anchorages. The child restraint
will not be properly installed using the
damaged anchorage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.
