3RD ROW SEATS
The 3rd row power folding seat controls are
located behind the 2nd row seat (both the
driver’s and passenger’s side) on the 3rd row
cup holder console
. There are also controls
located on the rear quarter trim panel behind
the 3rd row seats (passenger’s side)
.
Before operating the 3rd row seats:
. Make sure the 2nd row seatback is not
reclined.
. Lower the 3rd row head restraint to the
full down position.
. Disconnect and secure the center seat
belt and tongues into the retractor base.
See “3rd row center seat belt” (P.1-25). — Always reconnect the center seat belt
when the seat is returned to the
upright position
. Make sure that there are no objects on
the seatback cushion.

Power reclining
Push and hold the rear side of the switchbeside the 3rd row cup holders until the
desired seatback angle (up to 20 degrees) is
obtained. To move the seatback forward
again, push and hold the front side of the
switch
until the desired angle is obtained.
WARNING
. After adjustment, check to be sure
the seat is securely locked.
. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

killed.
. Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
. Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any cargo is on the rear seats.
. Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide signifi-
cant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been
removed for any reason.
. If the head restraints are removed for
any reason, they should be securely
stored to prevent them from causing
injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or
an accident.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.
. 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 colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
. When folding the bench seat seat-
back down for maximum storage,
make sure the seat base is in the
latched position by rocking the seat
base. If the seat base is not properly
secured, cargo stored on top of a
folded seatback may become a pro-
jectile causing personal injury or
vehicle damage.
CAUTION
.When folding the 2nd row seat for
maximum cargo hauling, be sure that
cargo does not contact the center
console of the captain’s seat (if so
equipped) to avoid possible damage
to the console.
. When folding or returning the seat(s)
to the upright position, to avoid
injury to yourself and others:
— Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat.
— Be careful not to allow hands or feet to get caught or pinched in
the seat.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-11

CAUTION
When folding the 2nd row seat for
maximum cargo hauling, be sure that
cargo does not contact the center con-
sole of the captain’s seat (if so equipped)
to avoid possible damage to the console.
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against
injury in certain rear end collisions.
Adjustable head restraints/headrests
must be adjusted properly, as specified
in this section. Check the adjustment
after someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint/
headrest stalks or remove the head
restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint/headrest has been
removed. If the head restraint/headrest
was removed, reinstall and properly
adjust the head restraint/headrest be-
fore an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion. Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraint/headrest. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

Occupant is a small adult — the front
passenger air bag status light is func-
tioning 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
conditions 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.

passenger seat and it is recommended that
the vehicle be checked by an INFINITI
retailer as soon as possible.

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. (See “Child re-

air bag precautions
WARNING
. Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the instru-
ment panel. Also, do not place any
objects between any occupant and
the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause in-
jury if the front air bags inflate.
. Do not place objects with sharp edges
on the seat. Also, do not place heavy
objects on the seat that will leave
permanent impressions in the seat.
Such objects can damage the seat or
occupant classification sensors
(weight sensors). This can affect the
operation of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic cleaners
(hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensors. This can also
affect the operation of the air bag
system and result in serious personal
injury. .
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,
suspension system or front end struc-
ture. This could affect proper opera-
tion of the front air bag system.
. Tampering with the air bag system
may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the
steering wheel and the instrument
panel assembly by placing material
over the steering wheel pad and
above the instrument panel or by
installing additional trim material
around the air bag system.
. Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the func-
tion of the air bag system and result
in serious personal injury.
. Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result in
serious personal injury. For example,
