BOOSTER SEATS
For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
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.
Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following points in
mind:
LRS0501Z
LRS0464Z
1-34Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•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.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-35

Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the rear seat or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rearmost
position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat.
Only place it in a front-facing direction.
Always follow the booster seat manufac-
turer’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/headrest adjustment, removal
and installation, refer to "Head restraints/
Headrests".
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it
is interfering 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 manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the seat belt
routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat
belt toward the retractor to take up extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion of
the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer’s instructions
for adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in-
structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in "Precautions on seat belt
usage" earlier in this section.

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments (for example, during severe off-
roading) may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.
The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front
passenger seat belts and is not a substitute
for them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a suit-
able distance away from the steering wheel,
instrument panel and front door finishers. For
additional information, see "Seat belts" earlier
in this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON,
the air bag warning light will illuminate. The
air bag warning light will turn off within a
few seconds after the engine is started if the
system is operational. See "Warning lights,
indicator lights and audible reminders" for
further details.

WARNING
•The front-air bags ordinarily will not in-
flate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal collision. Always wear the seat belts
to help reduce the risk or severity of in-
jury in accidents.
•The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the OFF>
indicator light is lit. For
additional information, refer to "Front
passenger air bag and status light".
•The seat belts and the front-impact air
bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat.
The front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System, if you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways, or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash.
You may also receive serious or fatal in-
juries from the front air bag if you are up
against it when it inflates. Always sit
back against the seatback and as far
away as practical from the steering
wheel. Always properly use the seat
belts.
•The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage then inflates the air bags
as needed. Failure to properly wear seat
belts can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
•The front passenger seat is equipped
with an occupant classification sensor
(pressure sensor) that turns the front
passenger air bag OFF under some con-
ditions. This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase the
risk or severity of injury in an accident.
For additional information, refer to
"Front passenger air bag and status
light".
•Keep hands on the outside of the steer-
ing wheel. Placing them inside the steer-
ing wheel rim could increase the risk that
they are injured when the front air bag
inflates.
WARNING
Never let children ride unrestrained or ex-
tend their hands or face out of the window.
Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or
arms. Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the illustrations.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-39

WARNING
•Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-facing
child restraint in the front seat. An in-
flating front air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child. For additional
information, refer to "Child restraints".
•Children may be severely injured or
killed when the front air bags, side air
bags or curtain air bags inflate if they
are not properly restrained. Pre-teens
and children should be properly re-
strained in the rear seat, if possible.
WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags:
•The side air bags and curtain air bags
ordinarily will not inflate in the event of
a frontal impact, rear impact, or lower
severity side collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or se-
verity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.

1-40Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
•The seat belts, the side air bags and cur-
tain air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat with both feet on the floor. The
side air bag and curtain air bag inflate
with great force. Do not allow anyone to
place their hand, leg or face near the side
air bag on the side of the seatback of the
front seat or near the side roof rails. Do
not allow anyone sitting in the front
seats or rear outboard seats to extend
their hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in
the previous illustrations.
•When sitting in the rear seats, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seats. If side air bags and curtain air
bags inflate, you may be seriously in-
jured. Be especially careful with chil-
dren, who should always be properly re-
strained. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the illus-
trations.
•Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with the side
air bag inflation.SSS0162Z

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger's INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System,
please observe the following items:
•If a forward-facing child restraint is in-
stalled in the front passenger seat, do
not position the front passenger seat so
the child restraint contacts the instru-
ment panel. If the child restraint does
contact the instrument panel, the sys-
tem may determine the seat is occupied
and the passenger air bag may deploy in
a collision. For additional information
about installing and using child re-
straints, refer to "Child restraints".
•Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status light.
