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

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.

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.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINT
The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback receives
from the occupant in a rear-end collision.
The movement of the head restraint helps
support the occupant’s head by reducing its
backward movement and helping absorb
some of the forces that may lead to
whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for
collisions at low to medium speeds in which
it is said that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in
certain rear-end collisions. After the colli-
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-17

sion, the head restraints return to their
original position.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly
as described earlier in this section.PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well
back in your seat with both feet on the floor,
your chances of being injured or killed in an
accident and/or the severity of injury may be
greatly reduced. INFINITI strongly en-
courages you and all of your passengers to
buckle up every time you drive, even if your
seating position includes a supplemental air
bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories specify that seat belts be worn at
all times when a vehicle is being driven.
