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.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, press the button on
the buckle
1. The seat belt automatically
retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat
belt movement by two separate methods:
∙ When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the retractor.
∙ When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows.∙ Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check, get the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service, or to learn more about seat belt
operation.

Failure to do so may reduce the effective-
ness of the entire restraint system and
increase the chance or severity of injury
in an accident.
∙ The shoulder belt should rest on the middle of the shoulder. It must not rest
against the neck.
∙ Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any way.
∙ Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is secured by trying to move the shoulder
belt anchor up and down after

Seat belt hook
When the seat belt is not in use and when
folding down the rear seats, hook the rear
seat belts on the seat belt hooks.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it
is not possible to properly fit the lap/shoulder
belt and fasten it, an extender that is compat-
ible with the installed seat belts is available
for purchase. The extender adds approxi-
mately 8 in (200 mm) of length and may be
used for all seating positions.Seat belt extenders are available for the:
∙ Driver and front passenger seating posi- tion
∙ 2nd and 3rd row seating position
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for assistance with purchasing an ex-
tender if an extender is required.
WARNING
∙ Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made by the same company which made the
original equipment seat belts, should be
used with INFINITI seat belts.
∙ Adults and children who can use the stan- dard seat belt should not use an extender.
Such unnecessary use could result in seri-
ous personal injury in the event of an
accident.
∙ Never use seat belt extenders to install child restraints. If the child restraint is
not secured properly, the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision or a
sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
∙ To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or car-
pet. Then wipe with a cloth and allow the
seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not
allow the seat belts to retract until they
are completely dry.
∙ If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide
of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts
may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder
belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
∙ Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components, such as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible
wires and anchors, work properly. If loose
parts, deterioration, cuts or other dam-
age on the webbing is found, the entire
seat belt assembly should be replaced.

WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the seat
belts. Most seating positions are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be seriously
injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if the
vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to
release the child. If the seat belt cannot be
unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release
the child by cutting the seat belt with a
suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to
release the seat belt.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available
from many other sources, including doctors,
teachers, government traffic safety offices,
and community organizations. Every child is
different, so be sure to learn the best way to
transport your child.
There are three basic types of child restraint
systems: ∙ Rear-facing child restraint ∙ Forward-facing child restraint
∙ Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year and
less than 20 lbs. (9 kg) should be placed in
rear-facing child restraints. Forward-facing
child restraints are available for children who
outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are
at least 1 year old. Booster seats are used to
help position a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a
child who can no longer use a forward-facing
child restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protec-
tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit
them properly. The shoulder belt may come
too close to the face or neck. The lap belt
may not fit over their small hip bones. In an
accident, an improperly fitting seat belt
could cause serious or fatal injury. Always
use appropriate child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved child
restraints for infants and small children. For
additional information, refer to “Child re-
straints” in this section. A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle
by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor
and Tethers for CHildren) system or with the
vehicle seat belt. For additional information,
refer to “Child restraints” in this section.
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens and
children be restrained in the rear seat. Stud-
ies show that children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
This is especially important because your ve-
hicle has a supplemental restraint system
(air bag system) for the front passenger. For
additional information, refer to “Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS)” in this sec-
tion.
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that infants be placed
in child restraints that comply with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You should
choose a child restraint that fits your vehicle
and always follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions for installation and use.
CHILD SAFETY
1-26Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and
it is interfering with the proper child re-
straint fit, try another seating position or
a different child restraint.4. For child restraints that are equippedwith webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the an-
chor attachments. Press downward and
rearward firmly in the center of the child
restraint with your knee to compress the
vehicle seat cushion and seatback while
tightening the webbing of the anchor
attachments.
5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove
any slack. 6. 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 LATCH attachment
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 LATCH attachment holds the
restraint in place. If the restraint is not
secure, tighten the LATCH attachment
as necessary, or put the restraint in an-
other seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint. Not
all child restraints fit in all types of ve-
hicles.
