3. Route the seat belt tongue through thechild restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for belt routing.
If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap
and secure the tether strap to the tether
anchor point (rear seat installation only).
For additional information, see “Installing
top tether strap” (P. 1-49). Do not install child restraints that require
the use of a top tether strap in seating
positions that do not have a top tether
anchor.
4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fullyextended. At this time, the seat belt re-
tractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint

5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up onthe shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt. 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.

switch in the ON position. The front pas-
senger air bag status light

illuminate. If this light is not illuminated,
see “Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-65). Move the child restraint
to another seating position. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this

WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used to attach
adult seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint will not be properly installed using
the damaged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
BOOSTER SEATS
For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured or
killed in a sudden stop or collision greatly
increases:
– Make sure the shoulder portion of the
belt is away from the child's face and
neck and the lap portion of the belt does
not cross the stomach.
– Make sure the shoulder belt is not be-
hind the child or under the child's arm.
– A booster seat must only be installed in a
seating position that has a lap/shoulder
belt.

B. High back booster seat
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-51

Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in
mind:
• Choose only a booster seat with a labelcertifying that it complies with Federal Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Cana-
dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
• Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system. • Make sure the child’s head will be properly
supported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat. The seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. For example, if a
low back booster seat is chosen, the vehicle
seatback must be at or above the center of
the child’s ears. If the seatback is lower than
the center of the child’s ears, a high back
booster seat should be used.
• If the booster seat is compatible with your vehicle, place the child in the booster seat
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the booster seat is compatible with the
child. Always follow all recommended
procedures. All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is be-
ing operated.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats or
the front passenger seat.
Booster seat installation
WARNING
To avoid injury to child, do not use the lap/
shoulder belt in the Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode when using a booster
seat with the seat belts.
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-25), “Child restraints” (P. 1-28) and
“Booster seats” (P. 1-51) before installing a
child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the 2nd or 3rd rows or in the front passenger
seat:
LRS0453LRS0464
1-52Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rearmost
position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a front-facing direction.
Always follow the booster seat manufac-
turer’s instructions. 3. The booster seat should be positioned on
the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the booster
seat is removed. For additional informa-
tion, see “Head restraints/headrests”
(P. 1-12). If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it
is interfering with the proper booster seat
fit, try another seating position or a differ-
ent booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the seat belt
routing.

slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion of

booster seat manufacturer’s instructions
for adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in- structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in “Three-point type seat belt
with retractor” (P. 1-21). 7. If the booster seat is installed in the front
passenger seat, place the ignition switch
in the ON position. The front passenger air
bag status light
may or may not
illuminate, depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat being
used. For additional information, see
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
(P. 1-65).
