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.

For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
∙ Infants and small children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint
while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a
child restraint or booster seat can result
in serious injury or death.
∙ Infants and small children should never be carried on your lap. It is not possible
for even the strongest adult to resist the
forces of a severe accident. The child
could be crushed between the adult and
parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the
same seat belt around both your child and
yourself.
∙ INFINITI recommends that the booster seat be installed in the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat. If you must
install a booster seat in the front seat,
refer to “Booster seat installation” in this
section ∙ A booster seat must only be installed in a
seating position that has a lap/shoulder
belt. Failure to use a three-point type
seat belt with a booster seat can result in
a serious injury in sudden stop or collision.
∙ Improper use or improper installation of a booster seat can increase the risk or se-
verity of injury for both the child and
other occupants of the vehicle and can
lead to serious injury or death in an
accident.

1-44Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
∙ Do not use towels, books, pillows orother items in place of a booster seat.
Items such as these may move during
normal driving or a collision and result in
serious injury or death. Booster seats are
designed to be used with a lap/shoulder
belt. Booster seats are designed to prop-
erly route the lap and shoulder portions
of the seat belt over the strongest por-
tions of a child’s body to provide the
maximum protection during a collision.
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in
mind: ∙ Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
∙ Make sure the child’s head will be prop- erly supported by the booster seat or ve-
hicle seat. The seatback must be at or
above the center of the child’s ears. For
example, if a low back booster seat is
chosen, the vehicle seatback must be at
or above the center of the child’s ears. If
the seatback is lower than the center of
the child’s ears, a high back booster seat
should be used. ∙ If the booster seat is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various ad-
justments to be sure the booster seat is
compatible with your child. Always fol-
low 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 operated.
WARNING
∙ Improper use of a booster seat can in- crease the risk or severity of injury for
both the child and other occupants of the
vehicle.
∙ Follow all of the booster seat manufac- turer’s instructions for installation and
use. When purchasing a booster seat, be
sure to select one which will fit your child
and vehicle. It may not be possible to
properly install some types of booster
seats in your vehicle.
∙ If the booster seat and seat belt is not used properly, the risk of a child being
injured or killed in a collision or a sudden
stop greatly increases. ∙ Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the booster seat, but as up-
right as possible.
∙ After placing the child in the booster seat and fastening the seat belt, make sure
the shoulder portion of the belt is away
from the child’s face and neck and the lap
portion of the belt does not cross the
abdomen.
∙ Do not put the shoulder belt behind the child or under the child’s arm. If you must
install a booster seat in the front seat,
refer to “Booster seat installation” in this
section.
∙ When your booster seat is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in case
of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check
the seating surface and buckles before
placing your child in the booster seat.

Booster seat installation
WARNING
To avoid injury to child, do not use the
lap/shoulder belt in the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) mode when using a
booster seat with the seat belts.
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the “Child safety”, “Child
restraints” and “Booster seats” sections of
this manual before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the rear seats or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rear-
most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a front-facing direction.
Always follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions. 3. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint to obtain the correct booster
seat fit. If the head restraint is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to rein-
stall the head restraint when the
booster seat is removed. For additional
information about head restraint adjust-
ment, removal and installation, refer to
“Head restraints” in this section.

1-46Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is inter-
fering with the proper booster seat fit,
try another seating position or a differ-
ent 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.

force to the chest area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side-impact collisions.
