Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

SSS0133

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.1-9).

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. 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 unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-

hicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant 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.

SEATS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FRONT SEATS

Front power seat adjustment

Operating tips:
. The power seat motor has an auto-reset

overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 seconds,
then reactivate the switch.

. Do not operate the power seat switch for

a long period of time when the INFINITI
Direct Response Hybrid

System is not

running. This will discharge the 12-volt
battery.

See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-28)
for the seat position memory function.

SSS1051

Forward and backward:
Moving the switch

forward or backward

will slide the seat forward or backward to
the desired position.

Reclining:
Move the recline switch

backward until

the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch
forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of
the seatback for occupants of different sizes
for added comfort and to help obtain proper
seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt
usage” (P.1-9).) Also, the seatback can be
reclined to allow occupants to rest when the

vehicle is parked.

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.

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraint/headrest.

Indicates the seating position is

equipped with a head restraint.

Indicates the seating position is

equipped with a headrest.
+ Indicates the seating position is not
equipped with a head restraint or headrest.
. Your vehicle is equipped with a head

restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.

. Adjustable head restraints/headrests

have multiple notches along the stalk to
lock them in a desired adjustment posi-
tion.

. The non-adjustable head restraints/

headrests have a single locking notch to
secure them to the seat frame.

. Proper Adjustment:

— For the adjustable type, align the head

restraint/headrest so the center of
your ear is approximately level with
the center of the head restraint/
headrest.

— If your ear position is still higher than

the recommended alignment, place
the head restraint/headrest at the
highest position.

. If the head restraint/headrest has been

removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that
designated seating position.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINTS

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-type injury occurs
most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in

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 in-
crease 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 ve-

hicle than there are seat belts.

. If the seat belt warning light glows

continuously while the ignition
switch is in the ON position with all
doors closed and all seat belts fas-
tened, 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 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

retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any colli-
sion. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
INFINITI recommends that all seat
belt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion 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 da-
mage or improper operation is noted.

. All child restraints and attaching

hardware should be inspected after
any collision. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturer’s inspection in-
s t r u c t i o n s a n d r e p l a c e m e n t
recommendations. The child re-
straints should be replaced if they
are damaged.

PREGNANT WOMEN

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 re-
commendations.

INJURED PERSONS

INFINITI recommends that injured persons
use seat belts. 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) system. (See “Forward
Emergency Braking (FEB)” (P.5-101).)

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. Have the system
checked and repaired. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
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.
