6. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint with
your knee to compress the vehicle seat
cushion and seatback while pulling up on
the seat belt.
7. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions to remove
any slack.8. 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 seat belt 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 belt
holds the restraint in place. If the restraint
is not secure, tighten the seat belt as nec-
essary, or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child re-
straints fit in all types of vehicles.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2
through 8.10. If the child restraint is installed in the
front passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the ON position. Either the
indicator
light or
indicator light will illuminate depending
on the size of the child and the type of
child restraint used. See "Front passen-
ger air bag and status light". After the
child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.
If necessary, system operation can be
checked by using a special tool. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. Until you have
confirmed system operation, move the
child restraint to another position. See
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.

•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child up to the approxi-
mate size and weight of a one year old, the
indicator
light lights up after the system self-test
and remains lit. This indicates that the
front passenger front air bag is disabled.
If neither the OFF> or the
indicator lights light up, or if either indica-
tor light only lights up intermittently during
the journey, the front passenger seat
may not be used for a child restraint. Use
another seating position for the child re-
straint. For further information see
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child who is larger than
the approximate size and weight of a one
year old, either the BAG ON> or
indicator light lights up and remains lit af-
ter the system self-test depending on the
result of the classification. The result of
the classification is dependent on, among
other factors, the child restraint system
and the child's build.
Move the front passenger seat as far back
as possible. See "Child restraints" earlier in
this section.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
person with a smaller build (e.g. a teenager
or small adult), either the AIRBAG ON> or OFF> indicator light lights up and remains
lit after the system self-test depending on
the result of the classification.
– If the indi-
cator light lights up, move the front
passenger seat as far back as possible.
Alternatively, a person with a small
build can sit on a rear seat.
– If the
indicator light is lit, a person with a
smaller build should not use the front
passenger seat.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or a person with a build correspond-
ing to that of an adult, the AIRBAG ON> indicator light lights up after
the system self-test and remains lit. This
indicates that the front passenger front air
bag is enabled.If the automatic front passenger front air bag
deactivation system is malfunctioning, the
red
restraint system warning light in the
combination meter and the AIRBAG OFF> indicator light light up simul-
taneously. The front passenger front air bag
is disabled in this case and does not deploy
during an accident. Have the system checked
as soon as possible by qualified technicians. It
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes/consequences and solutions
The indicator lamp
lights up and remains lit, even though the front
passenger seat is occupied by an adult or a person
with a build corresponding to that of an adult
•Make sure the conditions for a correct classification of the person on the front passenger seat are met
(see "Front passenger air bag" earlier in this section).
•If the indicator light remains lit, the front passenger seat may not be used.•Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
The indicator lamp
does not light up and/or does not stay on.
•Make sure there is nothing between the seat and the child restraint system.•Make sure that the entire base of the child restraint system rests on the seat cushion of the front
passenger seat.
•When installing the child restraint system, make sure that the seat belt is tight. Do not pull the seat belt
tight with the front passenger seat adjustment. This could result in the seat belt and the child restraint
system being pulled too tightly.
•Check that the child restraint system is installed correctly.•Make sure that no objects are applying additional weight to the seat.•Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates theapproximate
fuel level in the tank when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, accelerating, or going up and down
hills due to movement of fuel in the tank.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF posi-
tion.
The low fuel warning
appears on the
vehicle information display when the fuel
level in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters 0 (Empty).
The arrow,
, indicates that the fuel-filler
lid is located on the left side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
•If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
After a few driving trips. the light should
turn off. If the light remains on after a
few driving trips, have the vehicle in-
spected. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
2-8Instruments and controls

Malfunction Indicator light
(MIL) (yellow)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, the yellow Malfunction Indicator
light illuminates. This means that the system
is operational.
If the yellow engine malfunction indicator
light lights up while the engine is running,
there may be a fault, for example:
•In the engine management
•In the fuel injection system
•In the exhaust system
•In the ignition system (for vehicles with
gasoline engines)
•In the fuel system (including a loose or
missing fuel filler cap).
•In other monitored items, for example the
automatic transmission.
The emission limit values may be exceeded
and the engine may be running in emergency
mode.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having
the engine control system checked and re-
paired as necessary could lead to poor drive-
ability, reduced fuel economy and possible
damage to the engine control system.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system
may lead to non-compliance of local and na-
tional emission laws and regulations.
Have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
