IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
REMINDERS!
Follow these important driving rules to help
ensure a safe and comfortable trip for you
and your passengers!
∙ NEVER drive under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs.
∙ ALWAYS observe posted speed limits and never drive too fast for conditions.
∙ ALWAYS give your full attention to driv- ing and avoid using vehicle features or
taking other actions that could distract
you.
∙ ALWAYS use your seat belts and appro- priate child restraint systems. Pre-teen
children should be seated in the rear seat.
∙ ALWAYS provide information about the proper use of vehicle safety features to
all occupants of the vehicle. ∙ ALWAYS review this Owner’s Manual
for important safety information.
For descriptions specified for all-wheel drive
models, an AWDmark is placed at the begin-
ning of the applicable sections/items.
As with other vehicles with features for off-
road use, failure to operate all-wheel drive
models correctly may result in loss of control
or an accident. For additional information,
refer to “Driving safety precautions” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver dif-
ferently from an ordinary passenger car
because it has a higher center of gravity
for off-road use. As with other vehicles
with features of this type, failure to op-
erate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control or an accident.
FOREWORD READ FIRST—THEN DRIVE SAFELY

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
The driver’s front seat is equipped with a seat
belt warning light.
The warning light, located on the instrument
panel, will show the status of the driver’s seat
belt.
For additional information, refer to “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders”
in the “Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.
CHILD SAFETY
WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the seat
belts. Most seating positions are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be seriously
injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if the
vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to
release the child. If the seat belt cannot be
unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release
the child by cutting the seat belt with a
suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to
release the seat belt.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available
from many other sources, including doctors,
teachers, government traffic safety offices,
and community organizations. Every child is
different, so be sure to learn the best way to
transport your child. There are three basic types of child restraint
systems:
∙ Rear-facing child restraint
∙ Front-facing child restraint
∙ Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year old
and less than 9 kg (20 lbs.) should be placed in
rear-facing child restraints. Front-facing
child restraints are available for children who
outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are
at least 1 year old. Booster seats are used to
help position a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a
child who can no longer use a front-facing
child restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protec-
tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit
them properly. The shoulder belt may come
too close to the face or neck. The lap belt
may not fit over their small hip bones. In an
accident, an improperly fitting seat belt
could cause serious or fatal injury. Always
use appropriate child restraints.
LRS0786
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-19

∙ For the most effective protection whenthe vehicle is in motion, the seat should be
upright. Always sit well back and upright
in the seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly.
∙ Do not allow children to play with the seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat
belt becomes wrapped around a child’s
neck with the ALR mode activated, the
child can be seriously injured or killed if
the seat belt retracts and becomes tight.
This can occur even if the vehicle is
parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release
the child. If the seat belt cannot be un-
buckled or is already unbuckled, release
the child by cutting the seat belt with a
suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors)
to release the seat belt.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. For additional informa- tion, refer to “Seats” in this section.

1-22Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described
below in accordance with U.S. regulations. If
the front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not
inflate in a crash. The driver air bag and other
air bags in your vehicle are not part of this
system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help re-
duce the risk of injury or death from an inflat-
ing air bag to certain front passenger seat
occupants, such as children, by requiring the
air bag to be automatically turned OFF. Cer-
tain sensors are used to meet the require-
ments.
The occupant classification sensor in this ve-
hicle is a weight sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the seat
by weight. For example, if a child is in the
front passenger seat, the INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System is designed to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF in accordance with
the regulations. Also, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, its weight and the child’s weight can be
detected and cause the air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who
are properly seated and using the seat belt asoutlined in this manual should not cause the
front passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For small adults it may be turned
OFF, however if the occupant takes his/her
weight off the seat cushion (for example, by
not sitting upright, by sitting on an edge of
the seat, or by otherwise being out of posi-
tion), this could cause the sensor to turn the
air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and
wearing the seat belt properly for the most
effective protection by the seat belt and
supplemental air bag.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear seat.
INFINITI also recommends that appropriate
child restraints and booster seats be properly
installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible,
the occupant classification sensor is designed
to operate as described above to turn the
front passenger air bag OFF for specified
child restraints as required by the regulations.
Failing to properly secure child restraints and
to use the ALR mode may allow the restraint
to tip or move in a collision or sudden stop.
This can also result in the passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF. For
additional information, refer to “Child re-
straints” in this section.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the front passenger air bag is designed not toinflate in a crash. However, heavy objects
placed on the seat could result in air bag
inflation, because of the object’s weight de-
tected by the occupant classification sensor.
Other conditions could also result in air bag
inflation, such as if a child is standing on the
seat, or if two children are on the seat, con-
trary to the instructions in this manual. Al-
ways be sure that you and all vehicle occu-
pants are seated and restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status light,
you can monitor when the front passenger air
bag is automatically turned OFF.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
front passenger air bag status light is illumi-
nated (indicating that the air bag is OFF), it
could be that the person is a small adult, or is
not sitting on the seat properly or not using
the seat belt properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front
seat, the front passenger air bag status light
may or may not be illuminated, depending on
the size of the child and the type of child
restraint being used. If the air bag status light
is not illuminated (indicating that the air bag
might inflate in a crash), it could be that the
child restraint or seat belt is not being used
properly. Make sure that the child restraint is
installed properly, the seat belt is used prop-
