. No changes should be made to theseat belt system. For example, do notmodify the seat belt, add material orinstall devices that may change theseat belt routing or tension. Doing somay affect the operation of the seatbelt system. Modifying or tamperingwith the seat belt system may resultin serious personal injury.

. Once a seat belt pretensioner hasactivated, it cannot be reused andmust be replaced together with theretractor. It is recommended you visitan INFINITI retailer for this service.



. All seat belt assemblies, includingretractors and attaching hardware,should be inspected after any colli-sion. It is recommended you visit anINFINITI retailer for this service.INFINITI recommends that all seatbelt assemblies in use during a colli-sion be replaced unless the collisionwas minor and the belts show nodamage and continue to operateproperly. Seat belt assemblies not inuse during a collision should also beinspected and replaced if either da-mage or improper operation is noted.

. All child restraints and attachinghardware should be inspected afterany collision. Always follow the re-straint manufacturer’s inspection in-s t r u c t i on s and r ep l a c emen trecommendations. The child re-straints should be replaced if theyare damaged.

PREGNANT WOMENINFINITI recommends that pregnant womenuse seat belts. The seat belt should be wornsnug, and always position the lap belt as lowas possible around the hips, not the waist,and place the shoulder belt over yourshoulder and across your chest. Never runthe lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal

area. Contact your doctor for specific re-commendations.

INJURED PERSONSINFINITI recommends that injured personsuse seat belts, depending on the injury.Check with your doctor for specific recom-mendations.

PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITHCOMFORT FUNCTION (frontseats) (if so equipped)The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat beltwith a motor to help restrain front seatoccupants. This helps reduce the risk ofinjury in a collision.

The motor retracts the seat belt under thefollowing emergency conditions:

. During emergency braking.

. During sudden steering maneuvers.

. Activation of the Forward EmergencyBraking (FEB) system. (See “ForwardEmergency Braking (FEB)” (P.5-103).)

The pre-crash seat belt will not be activewhen:

. The seat belt is not fastened.

. The vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15km/h) during emergency braking.

. The vehicle speed is under 19 MPH (30km/h) during sudden steering maneu-

vers.

The pre-crash seat belt will not be activewhen the brake pedal is not depressedexcept when sudden steering maneuversoccur or the FEB system activates.

The motor also retracts the seat belt whenthe seat belt is fastened or unfastened.When the seat belt is fastened, the motortightens the seat belt for a snug fit. Whenthe seat belt is unfastened, the motorretracts the seat belt. If the seat belt is notfully retracted, the motor retracts the seatbelt when the door is opened.

Always wear your seat belt correctly and situpright and well back.

If the motor cannot retract the seat beltwhen the seat belt is fastened or unfas-tened, it may indicate the pre-crash seat beltsystem has a malfunction. It is recommendedyou have an INFINITI retailer check andrepair the system.

When the seat belt is retracted repeatedly ina short period of time, the motor may not beable to retract the seat belt. After a fewminutes, the motor normally reactivates andretracts the seat belt. If the seat belt stillcannot be retracted by the motor, the pre-crash seat belt system has a malfunction.Have the system checked and repaired. It isrecommended you visit an INFINITI retailerfor this service.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT

WARNING

. Every person who drives or rides inthis vehicle should use a seat belt atall times.

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle whenthe seatback is reclined. This can bedangerous. The shoulder belt will notbe against your body. In an accident,you could be thrown into it andreceive neck or other serious injuries.You could also slide under the lap beltand receive serious internal injuries.

. For the most effective protectionwhen the vehicle is in motion, theseat should be upright. Always sitwell back and upright in the seat withboth feet on the floor and adjust theseat belt properly.

. Do not allow children to play with theseat belts. Most seating positions areequipped with Automatic LockingRetractor (ALR) mode seat belts. Ifthe seat belt becomes wrappedaround a child’s neck with the ALRmode activated, the child can beseriously injured or killed if the seatbelt retracts and becomes tight. This

can occur even if the vehicle isparked. Unbuckle the seat belt torelease the child. If the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is already un-buckled, release the child by cuttingthe seat belt with a suitable tool(such as a knife or scissors) to releasethe seat belt.

SSS0292

Fastening the seat belts1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” (P.1-2).)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of theretractor and insert the tongue into thebuckle until you hear and feel the latchengage.. The retractor is designed to lock

during a sudden stop or on impact.A slow pulling motion permits thebelt to move, and allows you somefreedom of movement in the seat.

. If the seat belt cannot be pulled fromits fully retracted position, firmly pullthe belt and release it. Then smoothlypull the belt out of the retractor.



SSS0290

3. Position the lap belt portion low andsnug on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward theretractor to take up extra slack. Be surethe shoulder belt is routed over yourshoulder and across your chest.

The three-point type seat belts have twomodes of operation:

. Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

. Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)mode allows the seat belt to extend andretract to allow the driver and passengerssome freedom of movement in the seat. TheELR locks the seat belt when the vehicleslows down rapidly or during impacts.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)mode (child restraint mode) locks the seatbelt for child restraint installation.

When the ALR mode is activated the seatbelt cannot be extended again until the seatbelt tongue is detached from the buckle andfully retracted. The seat belt returns to theELR mode after the seat belt fully retracts.For additional information, see “Child re-straints” (P.1-21).

The ALR mode should be used only for childrestraint installation. During normal seatbelt use by an occupant, the ALR modeshould not be activated. If it is activated, itmay cause uncomfortable seat belt tension.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be certainthat seatbacks are completely secured inthe latched position. If they are notcompletely secured, passengers may beinjured in an accident or sudden stop.

SSS0326

Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the seat belt, push the buttonon the buckle. The seat belt automaticallyretracts.

Checking seat belt operationSeat belt retractors are designed to lock seatbelt movement by two separate methods:

. When the belt is pulled quickly from theretractor.

. 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 forwardquickly. The retractor should lock and

restrict further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during thischeck, get the system checked. It is recom-mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for thisservice, or to learn more about seat beltoperation.

SSS1084

Center of rear seatThe center seat belt buckle is identified bythe CENTER mark . The center seat belttongue can be fastened only into the centerseat belt.

SSS0294A

Shoulder belt height adjustment(front seats)The shoulder belt anchor height should beadjusted to the position best for you. (See“Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-12).)

To adjust, push the button , and then movethe shoulder belt anchor to the desiredposition, so that the belt passes over thecenter of the shoulder. The belt should beaway from your face and neck, but notfalling off of your shoulder. Release theadjustment button to lock the shoulder beltanchor into position.



WARNING

. After adjustment, release the adjust-ment button and try to move theshoulder belt anchor up and down tomake sure it is securely fixed inposition.

. The shoulder belt anchor heightshould be adjusted to the positionbest for you. Failure to do so mayreduce the effectiveness of the entirerestraint system and increase thechance or severity of injury in anaccident.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERSIf, because of body size or driving position, itis not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender thatis compatible with the installed seat belts isavailable that can be purchased. The ex-tender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm) oflength and may be used for either the driveror front passenger seating position. It isrecommended you visit an INFINITI retailerfor assistance with purchasing an extender ifan extender is required.

WARNING

. It is recommended only INFINITI seatbelt extenders, made by the samecompany which made the originalequipment seat belts, be used withthe INFINITI seat belts.

. Adults and children who can use thestandard seat belt should not use anextender. Such unnecessary use couldresult in serious personal injury in theevent of an accident.

. Never use seat belt extenders toinstall child restraints. If the childrestraint is not secured properly, thechild could be seriously injured orkilled in a collision or a sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE. To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution re-commended for cleaning upholstery orcarpets. Then, wipe with a cloth andallow the seat belts to dry in the shade.Do not allow the seat belts to retractuntil they are completely dry.

. If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guideof the seat belt anchors, the seat beltsmay retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder

belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

. Periodically check to see that the seatbelt and the metal components such asbuckles, tongues, retractors, flexiblewires and anchors work properly. If looseparts, deterioration, cuts or other da-mage on the webbing is found, the entireseat belt assembly should be replaced.

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with theseat belts. Most seating positions areequipped with Automatic Locking Re-tractor (ALR)mode seat belts. If the seatbelt becomes wrapped around a child’sneck with the ALR mode activated, thechild can be seriously injured or killed ifthe seat belt retracts and becomes tight.This can occur even if the vehicle isparked. Unbuckle the seat belt to releasethe child. If the seat belt can not beunbuckled or is already unbuckled, re-lease the child by cutting the seat beltwith a suitable tool (such as a knife orscissors) 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 thismanual, child safety information is availablefrom many other sources, including doctors,teachers, government traffic safety offices,and community organizations. Every child isdifferent, so be sure to learn the best way totransport your child.

There are three basic types of child restraintsystems:

. Rear-facing child restraint

. Forward-facing child restraint

. Booster seatThe proper restraint depends on the child’ssize. Generally, infants up to about 1 yearand less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should be placedin rear-facing child restraints. Forward-facing child restraints are available forchildren who outgrow rear-facing child re-straints and are at least 1 year old. Boosterseats are used to help position a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longeruse a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protec-tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fitthem properly. The shoulder belt maycome too close to the face or neck. Thelap belt may not fit over their small hipbones. In an accident, an improperlyfitting seat belt could cause serious orfatal injury. Always use appropriatechild restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces orterritories require the use of approved childrestraints for infants and small children. See“Child restraints” (P.1-21).

A child restraint may be secured in thevehicle by using either the LATCH (LowerAnchor and Tethers for CHildren) system orwith the vehicle seat belt. See “Child re-straints” (P.1-21) for more information.

INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens andchildren be restrained in the rear seat.Studies show that children are safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seat than inthe front seat.

This is especially important because yourvehicle has a supplemental restraint system(Air bag system) for the front passenger.See “Supplemental restraint system” (P.1-40).

INFANTSInfants up to at least 1 year old should beplaced in a rear-facing child restraint.INFINITI recommends that infants be placedin child restraints that comply with FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standards or Cana-dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Youshould choose a child restraint that fits yourvehicle and always follow the manufac-turer’s instructions for installation and use.


CHILD SAFETY


SMALL CHILDRENChildren that are over 1 year old and weighat least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing child restraint as long as possible upto the height or weight limit of the childrestraint. Children who outgrow the heightor weight limit of the rear-facing childrestraint and are at least 1 year old shouldbe secured in a forward-facing child re-straint with a harness. Refer to the manu-facturer’s instructions for minimum andmaximum weight and height recommenda-tions. INFINITI recommends that small chil-dren be placed in child restraints that complywith Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dards or Canadian Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards. You should choose a child re-straint that fits your vehicle and alwaysfollow the manufacturer’s instructions forinstallation and use.

LARGER CHILDRENChildren should remain in a forward-facingchild restraint with a harness until they reachthe maximum height or weight limit allowedby the child restraint manufacturer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weightlimit of the harness-equipped forward-fa-cing child restraint, INFINITI recommendsthat the child be placed in a commerciallyavailable booster seat to obtain proper seat

belt fit. For a seat belt to fit properly, thebooster seat should raise the child so thatthe shoulder belt is properly positionedacross the chest and the top, middle portionof the shoulder. The shoulder belt should notcross the neck or face and should not fall offthe shoulder. The lap belt should lie snuglyacross the lower hips or upper thighs, not theabdomen.

A booster seat can only be used in seatingpositions that have a three-point type seatbelt. The booster seat should fit the vehicleseat and have a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Canadian Motor VehicleSafety Standards.

A booster seat should be used until the childcan pass the seat belt fit test below:

. Are the child’s back and hips against thevehicle seatback?

. Is the child able to sit without slouching?

. Do the child’s knees bend easily over thefront edge of the seat with feet flat onthe floor?

. Can the child safely wear the seat belt(lap belt low and snug across the hipsand shoulder belt across mid-chest andshoulder)?

. Is the child able to use the properlyadjusted head restraint/headrest?

. Will the child be able to stay in positionfor the entire ride?

JVR0473X

If you answered no to any of these ques-tions, the child should remain in a boosterseat using a three-point type seat belt.

NOTE:

Laws in some communities may followdifferent guidelines. Check local and stateregulations to confirm your child is using thecorrect restraint system before traveling.

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on anyseat and do not allow a child in the cargoarea. The child could be seriously injuredor killed in a sudden stop or collision.

forward-facing child restraint inthe front seat, see “Forward-facing child restraint installationusing the seat belts” (P.1-33).

— Even with the INFINITI AdvancedAir Bag System, never install arear-facing child restraint in thefront seat. An inflating air bagcould seriously injure or kill a child.A rear-facing child restraint mustonly be used in the rear seat.

— Be sure to purchase a child re-straint that will fit the child andvehicle. Some child restraints maynot fit properly in your vehicle.

— Child restraint anchor points aredesigned to withstand loads fromchild restraints that are properlyfitted.

— Never use the anchor points foradult seat belts or harnesses.

— A child restraint with a top tetherstrap should not be used in thefront passenger seat.

— Keep seatbacks as upright aspossible after fitting the childrestraint.

— Infants and children should al-ways be placed in an appropriate

child restraint while in the vehicle.

. When the child restraint is not in use,keep it secured with the LATCHsystem or a seat belt. In a suddenstop or collision, loose objects caninjure occupants or damage the ve-hicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle canbecome very hot. Check the seatingsurface and buckles before placing achild in the child restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal childrestraint anchor system, referred to as theLATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers forCHildren) system. Some child restraints in-clude rigid or webbing-mounted attach-ments that can be connected to theseanchors.

For details, see “Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren System (LATCH)” (P.1-23).

If you do not have a LATCH compatible childrestraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.

Several manufacturers offer child restraintsfor infants and small children of varioussizes. When selecting any child restraint,

keep the following points in mind:

. Choose only a restraint with a labelcertifying that it complies with FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 orCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dard 213.

. Check the child restraint in your vehicle tobe sure it is compatible with the vehicle’sseat and seat belt system.

. If the child restraint is compatible withyour vehicle, place your child in the childrestraint and check the various adjust-ments to be sure the child restraint iscompatible with your child. Choose achild restraint that is designed for yourchild’s height and weight. Always followall recommended procedures.

. If the combined weight of the child andchild restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5kg), you may use either the LATCHanchors or the seat belt to install thechild restraint (not both at the sametime).

. If the combined weight of the child andchild restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not thelower anchors) to install the child re-straint.

. Be sure to follow the child restraintmanufacturer’s instructions for installa-tion.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces orterritories require that infants and smallchildren be restrained in an approved childrestraint at all times while the vehicle isbeing operated. Canadian law requires thetop tether strap on forward-facing childrestraints be secured to the designatedanchor point on the vehicle.

BOOSTER SEATS

Precautions on booster seats

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are notused properly, the risk of a child beinginjured or killed in a sudden stop orcollision greatly increases:

. Make sure the shoulder portion ofthe belt is away from the child’s faceand neck and the lap portion of thebelt does not cross the stomach.

. Make sure the shoulder belt is notbehind the child or under the child’sarm.

. A booster seat must only be installedin a seating position that has a lap/shoulder belt.

LRS0455

Booster seats of various sizes are offered byseveral manufacturers. When selecting anybooster seat, keep the following points inmind:

. Choose only a booster seat with a labelcertifying that it complies with FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 orCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dard 213.

. Check the booster seat in your vehicle tobe sure it is compatible with the vehicle’sseat and seat belt system.



LRS0453

. Make sure the child’s head will beproperly supported by the booster seator vehicle seat. The seatback must be ator above the center of the child’s ears.For example, if a low back booster seatis chosen, the vehicle seatbackmust be

at or above the center of the child’s ears.If the seatback is lower than the centerof the child’s ears, a high back boosterseat should be used.

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLE-MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMThis Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)section contains important information con-cerning the following systems:

. Driver and passenger front-impact sup-plemental air bags (INFINITI AdvancedAir Bag System)

. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-mental air bag

. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact androllover supplemental air bag

. Seat belt with pretensionerSupplemental front-impact air bag system:The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System canhelp cushion the impact force to the headand chest of the driver and front passengerin certain frontal collisions.

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-mental air bag system: This system can helpcushion the impact force to the chest andpelvis area of the driver and front passengerin certain side impact collisions. The side airbag is designed to inflate on the side wherethe vehicle is impacted.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-over supplemental air bag system: Thissystem can help cushion the impact forceto the head of occupants in front and rearoutboard seating positions in certain side

impact or rollover collisions. In a side impact,the curtain air bags are designed to inflateon the side where the vehicle is impacted. Ina rollover, the curtain air bags on both sidesare designed to inflate and remain inflatedfor a short time.

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflatein certain types of rollover collisions or nearrollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-ments may cause the curtain air bags toinflate.

These supplemental restraint systems aredesigned to supplement the crash protectionprovided by the driver and passenger seatbelts and are not a substitute for them. Seatbelts should always be correctly worn andthe occupant seated a suitable distanceaway from the steering wheel, instrumentpanel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”(P.1-12) for instructions and precautions onseat belt usage.)

The supplemental air bags operate onlywhen the ignition switch is in the ONposition.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ONposition, the supplemental air bag warninglight illuminates. The supplemental air bagwarning light will turn off after about 7seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING

. The front air bags ordinarily will notinflate in the event of a side impact,rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-ity frontal collision. Always wearyour seat belts to help reduce therisk or severity of injury in variouskinds of accidents.

. The front passenger air bag will notinflate if the passenger air bag statuslight is lit. See “Front passenger airbag and status light” (P.1-48).

. The seat belts and the front air bagsare most effective when you aresitting well back and upright in theseat with both feet on the floor. Thefront air bags inflate with greatforce. Even with the INFINITI Ad-vanced Air Bag System, if you areunrestrained, leaning forward, sittingsideways or out of position in anyway, you are at greater risk of injuryor death in a crash. You may alsoreceive serious or fatal injuries fromthe front air bag if you are up againstit when it inflates. Always sit backagainst the seatback and as far-awayas practical from the steering wheelor instrument panel. Always use theseat belts.



. The driver and front passenger seatbelt buckles are equipped with sen-sors that detect if the seat belts arefastened. The Advanced Air BagSystem monitors the severity of acollision and seat belt usage theninflates the air bags as needed. Fail-ure to properly wear seat belts canincrease the risk or severity of injuryin an accident.

. The front passenger seat is equippedwith occupant classification sensors(weight sensors) that turn the frontpassenger air bag OFF under someconditions. These sensors are onlyused in this seat. Failure to beproperly seated and wearing the seatbelt can increase the risk or severityof injury in an accident. See “Frontpassenger air bag and status light”(P.1-48).

. Keep hands on the outside of thesteering wheel. Placing them insidethe steering wheel rim could increasethe risk of injury if the front air baginflates.
