2019 INFINITI QX60 child restraint

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System,
please observe the following items.
∙ Do not allow a passenger in the rear seatto push or pull on the seatback pocket.
∙ Do not place heavy loads heavier than 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) on the seatback, head
restraint/headrest or in the seatback
pocket.
∙ Make sure that there is nothing pressing against the rear of the seatback, such as a
child restraint installed in the rear seat or
an object stored on the floor.
∙ Make sure that there is no object placed under the front passenger seat.
∙ Make sure that there is no object placed between the seat cushion and the center
console or between the seat cushion and
the door. ∙ 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 instrument
panel. If the child restraint does contact
the instrument panel, the system may de-
termine the seat is occupied and the pas-
senger air bag may deploy in a collision.
Also the front passenger air bag status
light may not illuminate. For additional
information, refer to “Child restraints” in
this section.
∙ Confirm the operating condition with the front passenger air bag status light.
∙ If you notice that the front passenger air bag status light is not operating as de-
scribed in this section, get the occupant
classification system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
∙ Until you have confirmed with a retailer that your passenger seat occupant clas-
sification system is working properly, po-
sition the occupants in the rear seating
positions. ∙ Do not position the front passenger seat
so it contacts the rear seat. If the front
seat does contact the rear seat, the air
bag system may determine a sensor mal-
function has occurred and the front pas-
senger air bag status light may illuminate
and the supplemental air bag warning
light may flash.
This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is de-
signed to meet certification requirements un-
der U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in
Canada. All of the information, cautions and
warnings in this manual still apply and must
be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air bag
is located in the center of the steering wheel.
The front passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag is mounted in the dashboard
above the glove box. The front air bags are
designed to inflate in higher severity frontal
collisions, although they may inflate if the
forces in another type of collision are similar
to those of a higher severity frontal impact.
They may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper front air bag
system operation.

Front passenger air bag and status light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. Read this section carefully to learn
how it operates. Proper use of the seat,
seat belt and child restraints is necessary
for most effective protection. Failure to
follow all instructions in this manual con-
cerning the use of seats, seat belts and child
restraints can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident.Status light
The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensor (weight sen-
sor) that turns the front passenger air bag on
or off depending on the weight applied to the
front passenger seat. The status of the front
passenger air bag (ON or OFF) is indicated by
the front passenger air bag status light
which is located on the instrument panel.
After the ignition switch is placed in the "ON"
position, the front passenger air bag status
light on the instrument panel illuminates for
about 7 seconds and then turns off or re-
mains illuminated depending on the front
passenger seat occupied status.
The light operates as follows:
CONDITION DESCRIPTION PASSENGER AIR BAG
STATUS LIGHT () FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS
Empty Empty front passenger seat ON (illuminated) INHIBITED
Nobody/Somebody Bag or Child or Child Restraint or
Small Adult in front passenger seat ON (illuminated)
INHIBITED
Adult Adult in the front passenger seat OFF (dark) ACTIVATED
In addition to the above, certain objects
placed on the front passenger seat may also
cause the light to operate as described above
depending on their weight.For additional information, refer to “Normal
operation” and “Troubleshooting” in this sec-
tion.

Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described
below in accordance with U.S. regulations. If
the front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not
inflate in a crash. The driver air bag and other
air bags in your vehicle are not part of this
system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help re-
duce the risk of injury or death from an inflat-
ing air bag to certain front passenger seat
occupants, such as children, by requiring the
air bag to be automatically turned OFF. Cer-
tain sensors are used to meet the require-
ments.
The occupant classification sensor in this ve-
hicle is a weight sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the seat
by weight. For example, if a child is in the
front passenger seat, the INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System is designed to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF in accordance with
the regulations. Also, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, its weight and the child’s weight can be
detected and cause the air bag to turn OFF.Front passenger seat adult occupants who
are properly seated and using the seat belt as
outlined in this manual should not cause the
front passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For small adults it may be turned
OFF, however, if the occupant takes his/her
weight off the seat cushion (for example, by
not sitting upright, by sitting on an edge of
the seat, or by otherwise being out of posi-
tion), this could cause the sensor to turn the
air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and
wearing the seat belt properly for the most
effective protection by the seat belt and
supplemental air bag.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear seat.
INFINITI also recommends that appropriate
child restraints and booster seats be properly
installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible,
the occupant classification sensor is designed
to operate as described above to turn the
front passenger air bag OFF for specified
child restraints as required by the regulations.
Failing to properly secure child restraints and
to use the ALR mode may allow the restraint
to tip or move in a collision or sudden stop.
This can also result in the passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF. For
additional information, refer to “Child re-
straints” in this section.If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the front passenger air bag is designed not to
inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects
placed on the seat could result in air bag
inflation, because of the object’s weight de-
tected by the occupant classification sensor.
Other conditions could also result in air bag
inflation, such as if a child is standing on the
seat, or if two children are on the seat, con-
trary to the instructions in this manual. Al-
ways be sure that you and all vehicle occu-
pants are seated and restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status light,
you can monitor when the front passenger air
bag is automatically turned OFF.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
front passenger air bag status light is illumi-
nated (indicating that the air bag is OFF), it
could be that the person is a small adult, or is
not sitting on the seat properly or not using
the seat belt properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front
seat, the front passenger air bag status light
may or may not be illuminated, depending on
the size of the child and the type of child
restraint being used. If the air bag status light
is not illuminated (indicating that the air bag
might inflate in a crash), it could be that the
child restraint or seat belt is not being used
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-61

properly. Make sure that the child restraint is
installed properly, the seat belt is used prop-
erly and the occupant is positioned properly.
If the air bag status light is still not illumi-
nated, reposition the occupant or child re-
straint in a rear seat.
If the front passenger air bag status light will
not illuminate even though you believe that
the child restraint, the seat belts and the oc-
cupant are properly positioned, it is recom-
mended that you take your vehicle to an
INFINITI retailer. An INFINITI retailer can
check system status by using a special tool.
However, until you have confirmed with a
retailer that your air bag is working properly,
reposition the occupant or child restraint in a
rear seat.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System and
front passenger air bag status light will take a
few seconds to register a change in the front
passenger seat status. This is normal system
operation and does not indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger
air bag system, the supplemental air bag
warning light
, located in the meter and
gauges area of the instrument panel, will be
illuminated (blinking or steadily lit). Have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. Normal operation
In order for the occupant classification sen-
sor system to classify the front passenger
based on weight, please follow the precau-
tions and steps outlined below:
Precautions
∙ Make sure that there are no objects weighing over 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) hanging on
the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.
∙ Make sure that a child restraint or other object is not pressing against the rear of
the seatback.
∙ Make sure that a rear passenger is not pushing or pulling on the back of the front
passenger seat.
∙ Make sure that the front passenger seat or seatback is not forced back against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
∙ Make sure that there is no object placed under the front passenger seat. Steps
1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats” section of this manual. Sit upright, lean-
ing against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with your feet com-
fortably extended to the floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on your lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the “Seat belts” section of this manual. Front
passenger seat belt buckle status is
monitored by the occupant classification
system, and is used as an input to deter-
mine occupancy status. So, it is highly
recommended that the front passenger
fasten their seat belt.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds allowing the system to classify the front
passenger before the vehicle is put into
motion.
5. Ensure proper classification by checking the front passenger air bag status light.
1-62Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sensor
system generally keeps the classification
locked during driving, so it is important that
you confirm that the front passenger is
properly classified prior to driving. However,
the occupant classification sensor may re-
calculate the weight of the occupant under
some conditions (both while driving and
when stopped), so front passenger seat oc-
cupants should continue to remain seated as
outlined above.
Troubleshooting
If you think the front passenger air bag status
light is incorrect:1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the front passenger seat:
∙ Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light is functioning as intended. The front
passenger air bag is suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small adult,
then this may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the weight
sensors:
∙ Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on
the seat cushion with his/her feet com-
fortably extended to the floor. ∙ A child restraint or other object pressing
against the rear of the seatback.
∙ A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
∙ Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
∙ An object placed under the front passen- ger seat.
∙ An object placed between the seat cush- ion and center console or between the
seat cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct
any of the above conditions. Restart the ve-
hicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds ini-
tially. If the light is still ON after this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child or child restraint occupying the front
passenger seat.
This may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
∙ Small adult or child is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and cen-
tered on the seat cushion with his/her
feet comfortably extended to the floor.
∙ The child restraint is not properly in- stalled, as outlined in the “Child re-
straints” section of this manual.
∙ An object weighing over 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) hanging on the seat or placed in the seat-
back pocket.
∙ A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
∙ A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.

∙ Forcing the front seat or seatbackagainst an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
∙ An object placed under the front passen- ger seat.
∙ An object placed between the seat cush- ion and center console.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct
any of the above conditions. Restart the ve-
hicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds ini-
tially.
If the light is still OFF after this, the small
adult, child or child restraint should be repo-
sitioned in the rear seat and the vehicle
should be checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. 3. If the light is OFF with no front passen-
ger and no objects on the front passen-
ger seat the vehicle should be checked as
soon as possible. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this ser-
vice.
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
passenger seat may result in serious per-
sonal injury. For example, do not change
the front seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing additional trim
material, 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).

LUGGAGE HOOKS
When securing items using luggage hooks
located on the side finisher do not apply a
load over more than 6.5 lbs. (29 N) to a single
hook.
The luggage hooks that are located on the
floor should have loads less than 110 lbs.
(490 N) to a single hook.
The luggage hooks can be used to secure
cargo with ropes or other types of straps.
WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes orstraps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
∙ Use suitable ropes and hooks to secure cargo.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. 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.
∙ The child restraint top tether strap may be damaged by contact with items in the
cargo area. Secure any items in the cargo
area. Your child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the top tether
strap is damaged.
∙ Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars must be installed before ap-
plying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the
vehicle. Genuine NISSAN accessory cross
bars are available through an INFINITI re-
tailer. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 165 lbs. (74 kg), however do not ex-
ceed the accessory cross bars load capacity.
