●
INFINITI recommends that child restraints be
installed in the rear seat. However, if you
must install a front-facing child restraint in
the front passenger seat, move the passen-
ger seat to the rearmost position. Also, be
sure the front passenger air bag status light
is illuminated to indicate the passenger air
bag is OFF. See “Front passenger air bag and
status light” later in this section for details.
●
The three-point seat belt in your vehicle is
equipped with an Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) which 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 otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the child in a
sudden stop or collision.
●
A child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passenger
seat.
The instructions in this section apply to child
restraint installation using the vehicle seat
belts in the rear seat or the front passenger
seat.
Front-facing
Follow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seat or in the front passenger seat:
1.
If you must install a child restraint in the
front seat, it should be placed in a front-
facing direction only. Move the seat to the
rearmost position. Child restraints for in-
fants must be used in the rear-facing direc-
tion and therefore must not be used in the
front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. (See “HEAD RESTRAINTS”
earlier in this section.)
If the head restraint/headrest is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint/headrest when the child
restraint is removed.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.
