•Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213.
•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 properly
supported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat. The seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. For example, if a
low back booster seat
1is 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
2should be used.
•If the booster seat is compatible with your
vehicle, place the child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is compatible with
the child. Always follow all recommended
procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is be-
ing operated.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats or
the front passenger seat.
Booster seat installation
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured or
killed in a sudden stop or collision greatly
increases:
•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 stomach.
•Make sure the shoulder belt is not be-
hind the child or under the child’s arm.
•A booster seat must only be installed in a
seating position that has a lap/shoulder
belt.
To avoid injury to a 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" before install-
ing a child restraint.

PARCEL SHELF
WARNING
•Never put anything on the parcel shelf,
no matter how small. Any object on it
could cause an injury in case of an acci-
dent or if the brakes are applied sud-
denly.
•Do not leave the parcel shelf in position
when it is disengaged from the grooves.
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury
•Properly secure cargo and do not allow
it to contact the top tether strap when it
is attached to the top tether anchor.
Cargo that is not properly secured or
cargo that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap during
a collision. If the cargo cover contacts
the top tether strap when it is attached
to the top tether anchor, remove the
cargo cover from the vehicle or secure it
on the cargo floor below its attachment
location. If the cargo cover is not re-
moved, it may damage the top tether
strap during a collision. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision
if the child restraint top tether strap is
damaged.
•Do not use the cargo cover if the rear
seats are folded down.
Removal
1. Open the lift gate (see "Lift gate lock").
2. Detach both of the cords (left and right)

Stopping
WARNING
•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others, or pets unattended in
your vehicle.
•The ICC system should only be used to
keep the vehicle stationary when the
driver is actively using the system.
When parking the vehicle, make sure to
turn OFF the ICC system, use the brake,
press the PARK (P) button, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK position
prior to exiting the vehicle. Failure to do
so could lead to serious injury or death.
The ICC system will not hold the vehiclein place after coming to a stop when any
of the following conditions occur:
–There is a malfunction in the system
or in the voltage supply.
–The ICC system has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e. g. by a
vehicle occupant.
–The accelerator pedal has been de-
pressed, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
For further information on deactivating the
ICC system, see "ICC switch (cruise control
lever)" earlier in this section
If the ICC system detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it
is stationary (within the braking limitations of
the system).
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress
the brake.

Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever.

•When adding or replacing coolant, be
sure to use only INFINITI Genuine En-
gine Coolant, BASF Glysantin G40 or
equivalent in its quality. The use of other
types of engine coolant may damage the
engine cooling system.
CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
LEVEL
NOTE
The coolant level must only be checked and
corrected when the engine is cold.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Only check the coolant level if the vehicle
is on a level surface and the engine is cold.2. Slowly turn cap
1half a turn counter-
clockwise to allow excess pressure to es-
cape.
3. Turn cap
1further counter-clockwise
and remove it.
If the coolant is at the level of marker bar
3in the filler neck when cold, there is
enough coolant in coolant expansion tank
2.
4. If necessary, top up with INFINITI Genu-
ine Engine Coolant, BASF Glysantin G40
or equivalent in its quality.
5. Replace cap
1and turn it clockwise as
far as it will go.
If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.

An INFINITI retailer can change the engine
coolant.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheating.
WARNING
•To avoid being scalded, never change
the coolant when the engine is hot.
•Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious burns could be
caused by high pressure fluid escaping
from the radiator.
•Avoid direct skin contact with used
coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
