One touch walk-in function
The 3rd row can be accessed from outside
the vehicle by using the seatback release le-
ver located on the upper outboard side of the
seatback on the 2nd row bench seat. If a child
safety seat is installed on the passenger’s side
of the 2nd row seat, the 3rd row can be
accessed without removing the child safety
seat.Multi-mode
WARNING
When returning the seat to its original po-
sition, confirm that the seat and seatback
are locked properly.
CAUTION
∙ Be careful not to pinch your hand or foot
or bump your head when operating the
walk-in seat.
∙ Do not drive with the 2nd row seat tipped up.
∙ Be careful not to allow the 2nd row seat to pinch, hit any part of your body or
other people when operating the 2nd row
seat. Make sure the seat path is clear of
all objects before moving the seat.
To enter the 3rd row from outside the ve-
hicle, lift up on the seatback lever located on
the upper outboard side of the seatback on
the 2nd row bench seat. This will release the
back of the seat and fold up the seat cushion.
This will also release the seat tracks so you
will be able to slide the seat forward or back-
ward. Slide the entire seat forward for access to the
3rd row.
To return the seat to a locked position, push
the upper seatback rearward until the seat-
back and tracks are locked. Push the seat
cushion down.
Child seat access mode
The passenger’s side of the 2nd row seat can
be slid forward for easy entry or exit from the
3rd row bench seat without a child safety
seat being removed.
To enter the 3rd row from outside the ve-
hicle, lift up on the seatback lever located on
the upper outboard side of the seatback on
the 2nd row bench seat. This will release the
seatback. Then tilt the seat and release the
tracks so you will be able to slide the seat
forward or backward.
Slide the entire seat forward for access to the
rear seats.
To return the seat to a locked position, push
the upper seatback rearward until the seat-
back and track are locked.

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.
ARMRESTS
The 2nd row bench seat comes equipped
with an armrest. Pull the armrest down as
shown.
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.
LRS2924
1-8Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
∙ When returning the seatbacks to the up-right position, be certain they are com-
pletely secured in the latched position. If
they are not completely secured, passen-
gers may be injured in an accident or sud-
den stop.
∙ Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
Folding the 2nd row bench seat
To fold the 2nd row bench seat flat for maxi-
mum cargo hauling:
1. Make sure that the head restraints are lowered or removed. For maximum
cargo hauling, remove the head re-
straints. To remove the head restraints,
push and hold the lock knob while mov-
ing the head restraints in an upward di-
rection. Store the head restraints prop-
erly so they are not loose in the vehicle.
2. Stow the 2nd row seat belts in the seat belt hooks found on the sides of the
vehicle. 3. Lift up on the recline lever on the side of
the outboard seats to fold the seatbacks
flat.
4. To return the 2nd row bench seats to a seating position, push up on the seat-
back until it latches in place.

cally. Check if there are any obstacles caught
that prevent seats from returning to the
folded position. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer if the beep still
sounds.
CAUTION
When operating the 3rd row power seat-
back return, make sure that the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P
(Park) position.
WARNING
∙ When the seat is returned to the normalseating position, the head restraints
must be returned to the upright position
to properly protect vehicle occupants.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the 3rd row seats when they
are in the fold-down position. In a colli-
sion, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously 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 3rd row seats when
occupants are in the 3rd row seat area or
any luggage is on the 3rd row seats.
– Make sure that the seat path is clear
before moving the seat.
– Be careful not to allow hands or feet to
get caught or pinched in the seat.
∙ Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
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.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-11
∙ Proper Adjustment:– For the adjustable type, align the headrestraint so the center of your ear is
approximately level with the center of
the head restraint.
– If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place
the head restraint at the highest posi-
tion.
∙ If the head restraint has been removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in
place before riding in that designated
seating position.

3. For child restraints that are equippedwith webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the an-
chor attachments. Press downward and
rearward firmly in the center of the child
restraint with your hand to compress the
vehicle seat cushion and seatback while
tightening the webbing of the anchor
attachments. 4. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the LATCH attachment
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 LATCH attachment holds the
restraint in place. If the restraint is not
secure, tighten the LATCH attachment
as necessary, or put the restraint in an-
other seat and test it again. You may need to try a different child
restraint or try installing by using the
vehicle seat belt (if applicable). Not all
child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
5. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 2
through 4.
