. Do not leave children unattended insidethe vehicle. They could unknowinglyactivate switches or controls. Unat-tended children could become involvedin serious accidents.

. The seatback should not be reclinedfurther than necessary for comfort. Seatbelts are most effective when the pas-

senger sits well back and straight up inthe seat. If the seatback is reclined, therisk of sliding under the lap belt andbeing injured is increased.

The movement of the headrestraint helps support the occupantshead by reducing its backward movementand helping absorb some of the forces thatmay lead to whiplash-type injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective forcollisions at low to medium speeds inwhich it is said that whiplash-type injuryoccurs most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in

certain rear-end collisions. After the colli-sion, the head restraints return to theiroriginal positions.

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the seatbelts. Most seating positions are equippedwith Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomeswrapped around a childs neck with the ALRmode activated, the child can be seriouslyinjured or killed if the seat belt retracts andbecomes tight. This can occur even if thevehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt torelease the child. If the seat belt can not beunbuckled or is already unbuckled, releasethe child by cutting the seat belt with asuitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) torelease the seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained.

In addition to the general information inthis manual, child safety information isavailable from many other sources, includ-ing doctors, teachers, government trafficsafety offices, and community organiza-tions. Every child is different, so be sure tolearn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of childrestraint systems:

. Rear-facing child restraint

. Forward-facing child restraint

. Booster seatThe proper restraint depends on the childssize. Generally, infants up to about 1 yearand less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should beplaced in rear-facing child restraints. For-ward-facing child restraints are availablefor children who outgrow rear-facing childrestraints and are at least 1 year old.Booster seats are used to help position avehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child whocan no longer use a forward-facing childrestraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protection.The vehicles seat belts may not fit themproperly. The shoulder belt may come tooclose to the face or neck. The lap belt maynot fit over their small hip bones. In anaccident, an improperly fitting seat beltcould cause serious or fatal injury. Alwaysuse appropriate child restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces orterritories require the use of approvedchild restraints for infants and smallchildren. See Child restraints (P.1-24).

A child restraint may be secured in thevehicle by using either the LATCH (LowerAnchors and Tethers for CHildren) systemor with the vehicle seat belt. See Childrestraints (P.1-24) for more information.

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

Children that are over 1 year old and weighat least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in arear-facing child restraint as long aspossible up to the height or weight limitof the child restraint. Children who outgrowthe height or weight limit of the rear-facingchild restraint and are at least 1 year oldshould be secured in a forward-facing childrestraint with a harness. Refer to themanufacturers instructions for minimumand maximum weight and height recom-mendations. INFINITI recommends thatsmall children be placed in child restraintsthat comply with Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standards. You should choose achild restraint that fits your vehicle andalways follow the manufacturers instruc-tions for installation and use.

LARGER CHILDRENGUID-68A06744-D08D-4184-A663-B44714919409

Children should remain in a forward-facingchild restraint with a harness until theyreach the maximum height or weight limitallowed by the child restraint manufac-turer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weightlimit of the harness-equipped forward-facing child restraint, INFINITI recommendsthat the child be placed in a commerciallyavailable booster seat to obtain properseat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit properly,the booster seat should raise the child sothat the shoulder belt is properly posi-tioned across the chest and the top,middle portion of the shoulder. Theshoulder belt should not cross the neckor face and should not fall off the shoulder.The lap belt should lie snugly across thelower hips or upper thighs, not the abdo-men. A booster seat can only be used inseating positions that have a three-pointtype seat belt. The booster seat should fitthe vehicle seat and have a label certifyingthat it complies with Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standards. Once the child hasgrown so the shoulder belt is no longer onor near the face and neck and the lap belt

can be positioned properly across thelower hips or upper thighs, use the seatbelt without the booster seat.

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on any seatand do not allow a child in the cargo area.The child could be seriously injured or killedin a sudden stop or collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-STRAINTS

GUID-5FE7E7BB-A112-4287-8A75-C4B83BB8D21F

WARNING

. Failure to follow the warnings andinstructions for proper use and installa-tion of child restraints could result inserious injury or death of a child or otherpassengers in a sudden stop or collision:

The child restraint must be used andinstalled properly. Always follow allof the child restraint manufacturersinstructions for installation and use.

Infants and children should never beheld on anyones lap. Even thestrongest adult cannot resist theforces of a collision.

Do not put a seat belt around both achild and another passenger.

INFINITI recommends that all childrestraints be installed in the rearseat. Studies show that children aresafer when properly restrained in therear seat than in the front seat. If youmust install a forward-facing childrestraint in the front seat, see For-

ward-facing child restraint installa-tion using the seat belts (P.1-34).

Even with the INFINITI Advanced AirBag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the frontseat. An inflating air bag couldseriously injure or kill a child. Arear-facing child restraint must onlybe used in the rear seat.

Be sure to purchase a child restraintthat will fit the child and vehicle.Some child restraints may not fitproperly 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 the frontpassenger seat.

Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-sible after fitting the child restraint.

Infants and children should alwaysbe placed in an appropriate childrestraint while in the vehicle.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Condition:

Black plate (47,1)

[ Edit: 2012/ 7/ 6 Model: V36-D ]

. When the child restraint is not in use,keep it secured with the LATCH systemor a seat belt. In a sudden stop orcollision, loose objects can injure occu-pants or damage the vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle canbecome very hot. Check the seating surfaceand buckles before placing a child in thechild restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universalchild restraint anchor system, referred toas the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren) system. Some child restraintsinclude rigid or webbing-mounted attach-ments that can be connected to theseanchors.

For details, see Lower Anchors andTethers for CHildren System (LATCH) (P.1-26).

If you do not have a LATCH compatiblechild restraint, the vehicle seat belts canbe used.

Several manufacturers offer child restraints

for 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 vehicleto be sure it is compatible with thevehicles seat and seat belt system.

. If the child restraint is compatible withyour vehicle, place your child in thechild restraint and check the variousadjustments to be sure the childrestraint is compatible with your child.Choose a child restraint that is de-signed for your childs height andweight. Always follow all recommendedprocedures.

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.
