SEATS

WARNING

• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. 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 under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.
• For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt properly. See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-12).
• Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controllers. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents. To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature 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.
• The seatback should not be reclined further than necessary for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seat-back is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

CAUTION When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damages. FRONT SEATS Front power seat adjustment Operating tips

SEAT BELTS

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 encourages 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. WARNING

• Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child restraint.
• 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 severity of injury in an accident. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
• Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never run 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 continuously 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 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 devices that may change the seat belt routing or tension. Doing so may affect the operation of the seat belt system. Modifying or tampering with the seat belt system may result in serious personal injury.
• Once a seat belt pre-tensioner has activated, it cannot be reused and must be replaced together with the retractor. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
• All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, should be inspected after any collision. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. INFINITI recommends 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 properly. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. All child restraints and attaching hardware should be inspected after any collision. Always follow the restraint manufacturer’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 seats are equipped with an enhanced seat belt reminder function. If your vehicle is equipped with an enhanced seat belt reminder function, a visual and audible alert will operate if a driver or front passenger seat belt is un-buckled at speeds of approximately 10 MPH (15 km/h) or more under the following conditions: If the driver seat belt is not fastened. The front passenger’s seat belt is not fastened and the seat is occupied by a passenger for 7 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
• The front passenger’s seat belt is not fastened and objects or external force on the passenger seat change the seat belt reminder classification to “occupied”.

The seat belt warning light will flash under the conditions shown above until the necessary seat belt is securely fastened. A warning chime will sound for approximately 95 seconds or until one of the following conditions is met:

• The unbuckled front passenger’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 switch is turned off. The below situations could result in the seat belt warning light being illuminated and the chime sounding, even with no occupant present 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 (If so equipped).
• A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.

PREGNANT WOMEN

INFINITI recommends that pregnant women use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snugly, and always position the lap belt as low as possible around the hips, not the waist, and place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations. INJURED PERSONS INFINITI recommends that injured persons use seat belts, depending on the injury. Check with your doctor for specific recommendations. PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH COMFORT FUNCTION (front seats) (if so equipped) The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt with a motor to help restrain front-seat occupants. This helps reduce the risk of injury in a collision. The motor retracts the seat belt under the following emergency conditions:

• During emergency braking. During sudden steering maneuvers. Activation of the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with pedestrian detection system. (See “Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with pedestrian detection system”

The pre-crash seat belt will not be active when:

• The seat belt is not fastened. The vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15 km/h) during emergency braking.
• The vehicle speed is under 19 MPH (30 km/h) during sudden steering maneuvers.

The pre-crash seat belt will not be active when the brake pedal is not depressed except when sudden steering maneuvers occur or the FEB with pedestrian detection system activates. The motor also retracts the seat belt when the seat belt is fastened or unfastened. When the seat belt is fastened, the motor tightens the seat belt for a snug fit. When the seat belt is unfastened, the motor retracts the seat belt. If the seat belt is not fully retracted, the motor retracts the seat belt when the door is opened. Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit upright and well back. If the motor cannot retract the seat belt when the seat belt is fastened or unfastened, it may indicate the pre-crash seat belt system has a malfunction. It is recommended you have an INFINITI retailer check and repair the system. When the seat belt is retracted repeatedly in a short period of time, the motor may not be able to retract the seat belt. After a few minutes, the motor normally reactivates and retracts the seat belt. If the seat belt still cannot be retracted by the motor, the pre-crash seat belt system has a malfunction. Have the system checked and repaired. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
