Your INFINITI represents a new way of

thinking about vehicle design. It integrates

advanced engineering and superior crafts-

manship with a simple, refined aesthetic

sensitivity associated with traditional Ja-

panese culture.

The result is a different notion of luxury

and beauty. The car itself is important, but

so is the sense of harmony that the vehicle

evokes in its driver, and the sense of

satisfaction you feel with the INFINITI —

from the way it looks and drives to the high

level of retailer service.

To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to

the fullest, we encourage you to read this

Owner’s Manual immediately. It explains

all of the features, controls and perfor-

mance characteristics of your INFINITI; it

also provides important instructions and

safety information.

A separate Warranty Information Booklet

is included in your Owner’s literature

portfolio. Always carry it with you when

you take your vehicle to an INFINITI

retailer. The Warranty Information Booklet

contents provide complete information

about all warranties covering this vehicle,

the requirements to keep the warranties in

effect as well as the INFINITI Roadside

Assistance program.

Additionally, a separate Customer Care

and Lemon Law Information Booklet will

explain how to resolve any concerns you

may have with your vehicle, as well as

clarify your rights under your state’s

lemon law.

In addition to factory installed options,

your vehicle may also be equipped with

additional accessories installed by INFINITI

or by your INFINITI retailer prior to delivery.

It is important that you familiarize yourself

with all disclosures, warnings, cautions

and instructions concerning proper use of

such accessories prior to operating the

vehicle and/or accessory. It is recom-

mended you see an INFINITI retailer for

details concerning the particular acces-

sories with which your vehicle is equipped.

The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid

®

System combines the power of a gasoline

engine and an electric motor to help

minimize fuel consumption and emissions.

Depending on driving conditions, the

vehicle runs on a combination of the

gasoline engine and the electric motor,

whichever is best for those conditions.

Because the gasoline engine charges the

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, the

battery does not have to be charged from

an outside source like an all-electric

vehicle.

HV37-D-121214-E35F 2EDF-AF65-4808-8D56-AE9DF84C7C73

WARNING

Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium ion

(Li-ion) high voltage battery. If the Li-ion

battery is disposed of improperly, there is a

risk of severe burns and electrical shock

that may result in serious injury or death

and there is also a risk of environmental

damage.

CAUTION

.Do not misuse the Li-ion battery.

.Do not use the Li-ion battery for any

other purpose.

The Li-ion battery is used to drive the

electric motors in the INFINITI Direct

Response Hybrid

®

System.

The Li-ion battery has a limited service life.

It is recommended that you contact your

INFINITI retailer for information about

recycling or disposal of the battery.

HV37-D-121214-45A C26A0-C658-4170-BD81- 8A380FB48F9B

WARNING

.The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid

®

System uses high voltage up to approxi-

mately 408 volts. The system can be hot

during and after starting. Be careful of

both the high voltage and the high

temperature. Obey the warning labels

attached to the vehicle.

.Never disassemble, remove or replace

high-voltage parts and harnesses as

well as their connectors. Doing so can

cause severe burns or electric shock that

may result in serious injury or death.

High-voltage harnesses are colored or-

ange. The vehicle high voltage system

has no user serviceable parts. It is

recommended that you take your vehicle

to an INFINITI retailer for any necessary

maintenance.

.Never try to remove the service plug

located in the trunk. The service plug is

used only when the vehicle is serviced

by trained technicians wearing personal

protection equipment and is part of the

high voltage system. Touching the ser-

vice plug can cause severe burns or

electric shock that may result in serious

brid System-10). To avoid personal in-

jury, never touch high-voltage wiring,

connectors, and other high-voltage

parts, such as electric motor inverter

and Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery. An

electric shock may occur if exposed

electric wires are visible when viewed

from inside or outside of your vehicle.

Therefore, never touch exposed electric

wires.

.If the vehicle receives a strong impact to

the floor while driving, stop the vehicle

in a safe location and check the floor.

.Inspect the ground under the vehicle. If

liquid has leaked onto the ground, the

fuel system may have been damaged.

Leave the vehicle as soon as possible.

.Leaks or damage to the Li-ion battery

may result in a fire. If you discover them,

contact emergency services immedi-

ately. Since the fluid leak may be lithium

organic electrolyte from the Li-ion bat-

tery, never touch the fluid leak inside or

outside the vehicle. If the fluid contacts

your skin or eyes, wash it off immedi-

ately with a large amount of water and

receive immediate medical attention to

help avoid serious injury.

.If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle,

leave the vehicle as soon as possible.

Only use a type ABC, BC or C fire

extinguisher that is meant for use on

electrical fires. Using water or the

incorrect fire extinguisher can result in

serious injury or death from electrical

shock.

.If you are not able to safely assess the

vehicle due to vehicle damage, do not

touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and

contact emergency services. Advise 1st

responders that this is a hybrid vehicle.

.In the event of an accident that requires

body repair and painting, it is recom-

mended that the vehicle be delivered to

When the vehicle decelerates while the

vehicle is driven with the shift lever in the D

(Drive) position or in the manual shift

mode, the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery can

be charged by the electric motor. The

electric motor converts the energy of the

rotating wheels into electric power under

the following circumstances:

.When the accelerator pedal is released.

.When the brake pedal is depressed.

.When there is no malfunction in the

brake system or the INFINITI Direct

Response Hybrid

®

System.

The regenerative brake may not work

properly if the vehicle has tires and road

wheels other than the ones specified in

this manual.

HV37-D-121214-73C6A5CC-367A-43A2 -8E50-5D0EA8BC5589

Drive your vehicle with smooth accelera-

tion and deceleration.

.While driving, energy is recovered

through the regenerative brake as the

vehicle decelerates. However, for most

efficient use, do not accelerate or

decelerate your vehicle more than

necessary.

.Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-

tion.

.The power of the Lithium ion (Li-ion)

battery can be checked on the Energy

Flow or Energy monitor. See “Energy

Flow” (P.Hybrid System-6) or “Trip

computer” (P.2-29). Gradual or non-

abrupt acceleration and deceleration

will make more effective use of the

electric power, using less gasoline

engine power.

starting. Be careful of both the high voltage

HYBRID VEHICLE PRECAUTIONS

and the high temperature.

HYBRID VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS

HV37-D-121214-D766F54 2-0B07-4222-BDBB- B3A9293124E4

WARNING

.When you leave your vehicle, be sure to

place the ignition switch in the OFF

position.

.Be sure to put the transmission in the P

(Park) position because the vehicle can

move when the READY to drive indicator

light is on even if the gasoline engine is

not running. When the READY to drive

indicator light is on, do not leave your

vehicle in a shift position other than the

P (Park) position. The vehicle will creep

and start abruptly if the accelerator

pedal is depressed by mistake. This

may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION

If the vehicle is parked for a long period of

time, the battery discharges gradually. To

avoid this occurrence, drive the vehicle for

approximately 30 minutes at least once

every two to three months. Otherwise, the

Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery may be da-

maged. If the Li-ion battery is completely

discharged and the hybrid system cannot be

activated, it is recommended that you

contact an INFINITI retailer.

High voltage parts and harnesses on the

hybrid vehicles emit approximately the

same amount of electromagnetic waves

as the conventional gasoline-powered ve-

hicles or home electronic appliances de-

spite of their electromagnetic shieldings.

Unwanted noise may occur in the reception

of a mobile two-way radio.

Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is

important. The vehicle cannot run if the Li-

ion battery is discharged. When in the N

(Neutral), D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position,

and while the accelerator pedal or the

brake pedal is not depressed, the Li-ion

battery does not recharge. Leaving the

transmission in the N (Neutral), D (Drive) or

R (Reverse) position, and while the accel-

erator pedal or the brake pedal is not

depressed for an extended period of time

(for example, when the shift lever is in the

D (Drive) position and the vehicle is

stopped only by the parking brake), may

discharge the Li-ion battery and the hybrid

system may automatically be turned off.

Hybrid System Overview Hybrid System-11

Hybrid System-12 Hybrid System Overview

JVO0114X

An air vent

*

A

is located on the right and

left sides between the rear seat and rear

door to cool the Li-ion battery and DC/DC

converter. If the vent is covered, the Li-ion

battery or DC/DC converter will overheat

resulting in reduced output performance of

the hybrid system. See “Lithium-ion (Li-

ion) battery and DC/DC converter air vent”

(P.7-6).

JVO0101X

CAUTION

.Do not allow any liquid to get on or in the

air vent. It may cause a short circuit and

damage the Li-ion battery or DC/DC

converter.

.Do not place objects over or into the air

vent. The Li-ion battery or DC/DC con-

verter may overheat and be damaged.

JVO0006X

CAUTION

Do not load large amounts of water in open

containers (aquariums or buckets) into the

vehicle. If the water spills onto the Li-ion

battery, it may cause a short circuit and

damage the battery.

Noise and vibration

HV37-D-121214-33CF2869-ADFB-4A9D-AFD0-651AEE3EFEB0

After the hybrid system is activated, the

following noises and vibrations that are

unique to the hybrid system may occur.

This does not indicate a malfunction.

.Electric motor noise from the engine

compartment

.Noise from the rear of the vehicle when

the hybrid system activates or deacti-

vates

.Noise and vibration when the gasoline

engine starts running or stops

.Operating noise or electric motor noise

when releasing the accelerator pedal or

depressing the brake pedal

.Engine noise due to rapid acceleration

.Fan noise from the air inlet located

between the rear seat and rear door

.Noise from the climate control system

.Noise from the vehicle in order to alert

pedestrians to the presence of an

approaching vehicle. See “Approaching

Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP)

system” (P.Hybrid System-9).

WARNING

.Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the

seatback is reclined. This can be danger-

ous. 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.1-9).

.Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly

activate switches or controls. Unat-

tended 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 assis-

tance of others or pets unattended in

your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-

ture 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 pas-

senger sits well back and straight up in

the seat. If the seatback 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.

WARNING

Head restraints/headrests 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 before an occupant

uses the seating position. Failure to follow

these instructions can reduce the effective-

ness of the head restraints/headrests. This

may increase the risk of serious injury or

death in a collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE

HV37-D-121214-0A678CD3-4A52-4D86-8AB5-75E62AB34DD6

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 in-

cludes 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 re-

strained in the rear seat and, if appro-

priate, in a child restraint.

. The seat belt should be properly ad-

justed 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 effec-

tiveness.

.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 mal-

function 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 perso-

nal injury.

.Once a seat belt pretensioner 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 re-

tractors and attaching hardware, should

be inspected after any collision. It is

recommended you visit an INFINITI re-

tailer for this service. INFINITI recom-

mends 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 oper-

ate 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 hard-

ware 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.

PREGNANT WOMEN

HV37-D-121214-68785179-C63E-48C7-846C-4DEDBC5E5B77

INFINITI recommends that pregnant women

use seat belts. The seat belt should be

worn snug, 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

HV37-D-121214-7CEE9D29-DBCF-47A1-AD75-CAF60886623F

INFINITI recommends that injured persons

use seat belts, depending on the injury.

Check with your doctor for specific recom-

mendations.

PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH COM-

FORT FUNCTION (front seats) (if so

equipped)

HV37-D-121214-8017E748-E53E-4E9A-925C-A78E351F9CDC

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) system. (See “Forward

Emergency Braking (FEB)” (P.5-105).)

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 maneu-

vers.

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 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 unfas-

tened, 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

3. Position the lap belt portion low and

snug on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward

the retractor to take up extra slack. Be

sure the shoulder belt is routed over

your shoulder and across your chest.

The three-point type seat belts have two

modes of operation:

.Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

.Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

mode allows the seat belt to extend and

retract to allow the driver and passengers

some freedom of movement in the seat.

The ELR locks the seat belt when the

vehicle slows down rapidly or during

impacts.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

mode (child restraint mode) locks the seat

belt for child restraint installation.

When the ALR mode is activated the seat

belt cannot be extended again until the

seat belt tongue is detached from the

buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt

returns to the ELR mode after the seat belt

fully retracts. For additional information,

see “Child restraints” (P.1-19).

The ALR mode should be used only for

child restraint installation. During normal

seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR

mode should not be activated. If it is

activated, it may cause uncomfortable seat

belt tension.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be certain

that seatbacks are completely secured in

the latched position. If they are not com-

pletely secured, passengers may be injured

in an accident or sudden stop.

.When the belt is pulled quickly from the

retractor.

.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 for-

ward quickly. The retractor should lock

and restrict further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during this

check, get the system checked. It is

recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer

for this service, or to learn more about seat

belt operation.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

HV37-D-121214-EA87C E63-37A2-4716-9559-F5AB89630915

If, because of body size or driving position,

it is not possible to properly fit the lap-

shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender

that is compatible with the installed seat

belts is available that can be purchased.

The extender adds approximately 8 in (200

mm) of length and may be used for either

the driver or front passenger seating

position. It is recommended you visit an

INFINITI retailer for assistance with pur-

chasing an extender if an extender is

required.

WARNING

.It is recommended only INFINITI seat belt

extenders, made by the same company

which made the original equipment seat

belts, be used with the INFINITI seat

belts.

. Adults and children who can use the

standard seat belt should not use an

extender. Such unnecessary use could

result in serious personal injury in the

event of an accident.

.Never use seat belt extenders to install

child restraints. If the child restraint is

not secured properly, the child could be

seriously injured or killed in a collision

or a sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

HV37-D-121214-724E27C2-8A16-4DAB-AC4C-60727D8C9395

.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution

recommended for cleaning upholstery

or carpets. Then, wipe with a cloth and

allow the seat belts to dry in the shade.

Do not allow the seat belts to retract

until they are completely dry.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-15

1-16 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

.If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt

guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat

belts may retract slowly. Wipe the

shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry

cloth.

.Periodically check to see that the seat

belt and the metal components such as

buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible

wires and anchors work properly. If

loose parts, deterioration, cuts or other

damage on the webbing is found, the

entire seat belt assembly should be

replaced.

HV37-D-121214-4EE25869-D4A8-4688-93AE-F4B2B0465998

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the seat

belts. Most seating positions are equipped

with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes

wrapped around a child s neck with the ALR’

mode activated, the child can be seriously

injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and

becomes tight. This can occur even if the

vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to

release the child. If the seat belt can not be

unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release

the child by cutting the seat belt with a

suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) 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

this manual, child safety information is

available from many other sources, includ-

ing doctors, teachers, government traffic

safety offices, and community organiza-

tions. Every child is different, so be sure to

learn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of child

restraint systems:

.Rear-facing child restraint

.Forward-facing child restraint

.Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the child’s

size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year

and less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should be

placed in rear-facing child restraints. For-

ward-facing child restraints are available

for children who outgrow rear-facing child

restraints and are at least 1 year old.

Booster seats are used to help position a

vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who

can no longer use a forward-facing child

restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protection.

The vehicle s seat belts may not fit them’

properly. The shoulder belt may come too

close to the face or neck. The lap belt may

not fit over their small hip bones. In an

accident, an improperly fitting seat belt

could cause serious or fatal injury. Always

use appropriate child restraints.

CHILD SAFETY

1-18 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

A booster seat should be used until the

child can pass the seat belt fit test below:

.Are the child’s back and hips against

the vehicle seatback?

.Is the child able to sit without slouch-

ing?

.Do the child’s knees bend easily over

the front edge of the seat with feet flat

on the floor?

.Can the child safely wear the seat belt

(lap belt low and snug across the hips

and shoulder belt across mid-chest and

shoulder)?

.Is the child able to use the properly

adjusted head restraint/headrest?

.Will the child be able to stay in position

for the entire ride?

JVR0473X

If you answered no to any of these

questions, the child should remain in a

booster seat using a three-point type seat

belt.

NOTE:

Laws in some communities may follow

different guidelines. Check local and state

regulations to confirm your child is using

the correct restraint system before travel-

ing.

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat

and do not allow a child in the cargo area.

The child could be seriously injured or killed

in a sudden stop or collision.

WARNING

.Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use and installa-

tion of child restraints could result in

serious injury or death of a child or other

passengers in a sudden stop or collision:

—

The child restraint must be used and

installed properly. Always follow all

of the child restraint manufacturer s’

instructions for installation and use.

—

Infants and children should never be

held on anyone s lap. Even the’

strongest adult cannot resist the

forces of a collision.

—

Do not put a seat belt around both a

child and another passenger.

—

INFINITI recommends that all child

restraints be installed in the rear

seat. Studies show that children are

safer when properly restrained in the

rear seat than in the front seat. If you

must install a forward-facing child

restraint in the front seat, see For-“

ward-facing child restraint installa-

tion using the seat belts (P.1-31).”

—

Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air

Bag System, never install a rear-

facing child restraint in the front

seat. An inflating air bag could

seriously injure or kill a child. A

rear-facing child restraint must only

be used in the rear seat.

—

Be sure to purchase a child restraint

that will fit the child and vehicle.

Some child restraints may not fit

properly in your vehicle.

—

Child restraint anchor points are

designed to withstand loads from

child restraints that are properly

fitted.

—

Never use the anchor points for

adult seat belts or harnesses.

—

A child restraint with a top tether

strap should not be used in the front

passenger seat.

—

Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-

sible after fitting the child restraint.

—

Infants and children should always

be placed in an appropriate child

restraint while in the vehicle.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

1-20 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

.When the child restraint is not in use,

keep it secured with the LATCH system or

a seat belt. In a sudden stop or collision,

loose objects can injure occupants or

damage the vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can

become very hot. Check the seating surface

and buckles before placing a child in the

child restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal

child restraint anchor system, referred to

as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers

for CHildren) system. Some child restraints

include rigid or webbing-mounted attach-

ments that can be connected to these

anchors.

For details, see “Lower Anchors and

Tethers for CHildren System (LATCH)” (P.1-

21).

If you do not have a LATCH compatible child

restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be

used.

Several manufacturers offer child re-

straints for infants and small children of

various sizes. When selecting any child

restraint, keep the following points in

mind:

.Choose only a restraint with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard 213.

.Check the child restraint in your vehicle

to be sure it is compatible with the

vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.

.If the child restraint is compatible with

your vehicle, place your child in the

child restraint and check the various

adjustments to be sure the child

restraint is compatible with your child.

Choose a child restraint that is de-

signed for your child’s height and

weight. Always follow all recommended

procedures.

.If the combined weight of the child and

child restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5

kg), you may use either the LATCH

anchors or the seat belt to install the

child restraint (not both at the same

time).

.If the combined weight of the child and

child restraint is greater than 65 lbs

(29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt

(not the lower anchors) to install the

child restraint.

.Be sure to follow the child restraint

manufacturer’s instructions for installa-

tion.

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

being operated. Canadian law requires the

top tether strap on forward-facing child

restraints be secured to the designated

anchor point on the vehicle.

6. 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 LATCH attach-

ment 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 LATCH attach-

ment holds the restraint in place. If the

restraint is not secure, tighten the

LATCH attachment as necessary, or put

the restraint in another seat and test it

again. You may need to try a different

child restraint. Not all child restraints fit

in all types of vehicles.

Installing top tether strap

HV37-D-130306-C501F3B2-B525-4F0E-A619-D50D32F95904

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 equipment

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.

The child restraint top tether strap must be

used when installing the child restraint

with the LATCH lower anchor attachments.

First, secure the child restraint with the

LATCH lower anchors (rear outboard seat-

ing positions only).

1. Flip up the anchor cover from the

anchor point which is located directly

behind the child restraint.

2. If necessary, raise or remove the head

restraint or headrest to position the top

tether strap over the top of the seat-

back. If the head restraint or headrest

is removed, store it in a secure place.

Be sure to reinstall the head restraint or

headrest when the child restraint is

removed.

See “Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-

5) for head restraint or headrest

adjustment, removal and installation

information.

Position the top tether strap over the

top of the seatback.

3. Secure the tether strap to the tether

anchor point on the rear parcel shelf.

4. Refer to the appropriate child restraint

installation procedure steps in this

section before tightening the tether

strap.

If you have any questions when installing

a top tether strap, it is recommended you

visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

WARNING

The three-point seat belt with Automatic

Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used when

installing a child restraint. Failure to use the

ALR mode will result in the child restraint

not being properly secured. The restraint

could tip over or be loose and cause injury to

a child in a sudden stop or collision. Also, it

can change the operation of the front

passenger air bag. See Front passenger“

air bag and status light (P.1-46).”

SSS0640

Forward-facing (front passenger seat) —

step 1

Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the

“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sec-

tions before installing a child restraint.

Do not use the lower anchors if the

combined weight of the child and the child

restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the

combined weight of the child and the child

restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg),

use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower

anchors) to install the child restraint. Be

sure to follow the child restraint manufac-

turer’s instructions for installation.

Follow these steps to install a forward-

facing child restraint using the vehicle seat

belt in the rear seats or in the front

passenger seat:

1. If you must install a child restraint in

the front seat, it should be placed in a

forward-facing direction only. Move the

seat to the rearmost position. Child

restraints for infants must be used in

the rear-facing direction and, there-

fore, must not be used in the front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat.

Always follow the child restraint man-

ufacturer’s instructions.

The back of the child restraint should

be secured against the vehicle seat-

back.

If necessary, adjust or remove the head

restraint or headrest to obtain the

correct child restraint fit. If the head

restraint or headrest is removed, store

it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall

the head restraint or headrest when

the child restraint is removed. See

“Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-5) for

head restraint or headrest adjustment,

removal and installation information.

If the seating position does not have an

adjustable head restraint or headrest

and it is interfering with the proper
