2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the re-tractor and insert the tongue into the
buckle
Auntil you hear and feel the
latch engage.
∙ The retractor is designed to lock dur-
ing a sudden stop or on impact. A slow
pulling motion permits the seat belt to
move and allows you some freedom of
movement in the seat.
∙ If the seat belt cannot be pulled from
its fully retracted position, firmly pull
the belt and release it. Then smoothly
pull the belt out of the retractor. 3. Position the lap belt portion
low and
snug on the hipsBas shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack
C.Be
sure the shoulder belt is routed over your
shoulder and across your chest.
The front passenger seat and the rear seating
positions three-point seat belts have two
modes of operation: ∙ Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
∙ Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The ELR mode allows the seat belt to extend
and retract to allow the driver and passen- gers some freedom of movement in the seat.
The ELR locks the seat belt when the vehicle
slows down rapidly or during certain impacts.
The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks
the seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated, the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the seat
belt tongue is detached from the buckle and
fully retracted. The seat belt returns to the
ELR mode after the seat belt fully retracts.
For additional information, refer to “Child re-
straints” in this section.
The ALR mode should be used only for child
restraint installation. During normal seat
belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode
should not be activated. If it is activated, it
may cause uncomfortable seat belt tension.
It can also change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag and
status light” in this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that the seatbacks are completely secured
in the latched position. If they are not com-
pletely secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.

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.
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-45

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.

Other supplemental front-impact air bag
precautions
WARNING
∙ Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instrument panel.
Also, do not place any objects between
any occupant and the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and cause in-
jury if the front air bags inflate.
∙ Immediately after inflation, several front air bag system components will be hot.
Do not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
∙ No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the
supplemental air bag system. This is to
prevent accidental inflation of the
supplemental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system. ∙ Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-
sion system or front end structure. This
could affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
∙ Tampering with the front air bag system may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steer-
ing wheel and the instrument panel as-
sembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the instru-
ment panel or by installing additional
trim material around the air bag system.
∙ Removing or modifying the front passen- ger seat may affect the function of the air
bag system and result in serious personal
injury.
∙
Modifying or tampering with the front pas-
senger seat may result in serious personal
injury. For example, do not change the
front seats by placing material on the seat
cushion or by installing additional trim ma-
terial, such as seat covers, on the seat that
are not specifically designed to assure
proper air bag operation. Additionally, do
not stow any objects under the front pas-
senger seat or the seat cushion and seat-
back. Such objects may interfere with the
proper operation of the occupant classifi-
cation sensor (weight sensor).

Instruments and controls2-9

Malfunction Indicator Light(MIL)
If this indicator light comes on steady or blinks
while the engine is running, it may indicate a
potential emission control malfunction.
The MIL may also come on steady if the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or if the
vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure
the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least
11.4 liters (3 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:
∙ MIL on steady — An emission control sys- tem malfunction has been detected.
Check the fuel-filler cap. If the fuel-filler
cap is loose or missing, tighten or install
the cap and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the
light does
not turn off after a few driving trips, have
the vehicle checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the retailer. ∙ MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been
detected which may damage the emis-
sion control system. To reduce or avoid
emission control system damage:
– do not drive at speeds above 72 km/h (45 mph).
– avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
– avoid steep uphill grades.
– if possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The check engine light may stop blinking and
come on steady. Have the vehicle checked. It
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. You do not need to
