WARNING
• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You could also slide un-
der the lap belt and receive serious inter-
nal injuries. •
For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and up-
right in the seat with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat properly. For
additional information, see “Precautions
on seat belt usage” (P. 1-12).
• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
• Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls or make the
vehicle move. Unattended children could
become involved in serious accidents. •
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause
a significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
• Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. The seat may move
suddenly and could cause loss of control
of the vehicle.
• The seatback should not be reclined any
more than needed for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and be-
ing injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damage.

while you slide the seat forward or backward
to the desired position. Release the bar to
lock the seat in position.
Reclining
To recline the seatback, pull up on the lever
O2and lean back. To bring the seatback for-
ward, pull the lever
O2up and lean your body forward. Release the lever to lock the seat-
back in position.
The recline feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. For additional information, see “Pre-
cautions on seat belt usage” (P. 1-12). Also,
the seatback can be reclined to allow occu-
pants to rest when the vehicle is parked.
WARNING
• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You could also slide un-
der the lap belt and receive serious inter-
nal injuries.
• For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and up-
right in the seat and adjust the seat belt
properly. For additional information, see
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P. 1-12).
ARMREST
The rear bench seat comes equipped with an
armrest. Pull the armrest down as shown.
FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
• Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seats when they are in
the fold-down position. In a collision,
people riding in these areas without
proper restraints are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.

4. Stow the rear seat belts in the seat belthooks found on the sides of the vehicle.
5. Lift up on the recline lever on the side of the outboard seats or pull the lever on
either side of the cargo area to fold the
seatbacks flat.
• If one of the rear seatbacks does not fold flat completely, move the corre-
sponding Front Power Seat forward,
push up the seatback until it latches in
place and remove the head restraints/
headrests. For additional information,
see “Remove” (P. 1-9). 6. To return the rear bench seats to a seating
position, push up on the seatback until it
latches in place.
WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against in-
jury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust-
able head restraints/headrests must be
adjusted properly, as specified in this sec-
tion. Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint/headrest stalk, ex-
cept for genuine INFINITI accessories spe-
cifically tested for use with the vehicle’s
head restraint/headrest stalk. Do not re-
move 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 prop-
erly adjust the head restraint/headrest
before an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion. Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraints/headrests. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

WARNING
• Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be in the rear seats and in
an appropriate restraint.WARNING
• The seat belt should be properly adjusted
to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce
the effectiveness of the entire restraint
system and increase the chance or sever-
ity of injury in an accident. Serious injury
or death can occur if the seat belt is not
worn properly.

WARNING
• Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put the belt behind your back, under your
arm or across your neck. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
• Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in an
accident. •
Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
• Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
• Do not allow more than one person to use
the same seat belt.
• Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
• If the seat belt warning light glows con-
tinuously while the ignition is turned on
with all doors closed and all seat belts
fastened, it may indicate a malfunction
in the system. Have the system checked.
It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
• No changes should be made to the seat
belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material, or install de-
vices that may change the seat belt rout-
ing or tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system. Modi-
fying or tampering with the seat belt
system may result in serious personal
injury. •
Once a seat belt pretensioner(s) have ac-
tivated, they cannot be reused and must
be replaced together with the retractor.
It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
• All seat belt assemblies, including retrac-
tors and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after any collision. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. INFINITI recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate prop-
erly. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be inspected
and replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
• All child restraints and attaching hard-
ware should be inspected after any colli-
sion. Always follow the restraint manu-
facturer's inspection instructions and
replacement recommendations. The
child restraints should be replaced if they
are damaged.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
AND CHIME
The driver and front passenger seat is
equipped with an enhanced seat belt re-
minder function. If your vehicle is equipped
with an enhanced seat belt reminder func-
tion, a visual and audible alert will operate if a
driver or front passenger seat belt is unbuck-
led at speeds of approximately 9 mph (15
km/h) or more under the following condi-
tions:
• If the driver seat belt is not fastened.• The front passenger’s seat belt is not fas-
tened and the seat is occupied by a passen-
ger for 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
• The front passenger’s seat belt is not fas- tened and objects or external force on the
passenger seat change the seat belt re-
minder classification to Occupied.
The seat belt warning light will flash under
the conditions shown above until the neces-
sary seat belt is securely fastened.
A warning chime will sound for approxi-
mately 90 seconds or until one of the follow-
ing conditions is met:
• The unbuckled front occupant’s seat belt is securely fastened.
• The seat belt reminder function in the front passenger seat no longer detects that the
front passenger seat is occupied.
• The ignition is turned off or the vehicle is parked.
The below situations could result in the seat
belt reminder light being illuminated and the
chime sounding, even with no occupant pres-
ent in the passenger seat:
• Heavy objects placed on the seat.
• Someone pushing or pulling on the front passenger seat. • An object placed under the front passenger
seat.
• An object placed between the seat cushion and center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.
• An object hanging on the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.
• A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
NOTE:
The rear seats are equipped with a seat belt
reminder in the vehicle information display.
The rear seat belt icons will illuminate in red
when not fastened. When a rear passenger's
seat belt has been securely fastened, the
color of the corresponding seat belt icon will
change to white.
For additional information, see “Vehicle in-
formation display” (P. 2-19).
