Owner`s manual

O All seat belt assemblies including
retractors and attaching hardware
should be inspected after any col-
lision by your INFINITI retailer.
INFINITI recommends that all
seat belt assemblies in use dur-
ing a collision be replaced unless
the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and con-
tinue to operate properly. Seat
belt assemblies not in use during
a collision should also be in-
spected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is
noted.
O All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected af-
ter any collision. Always follow
the restraint manufacturer’s in-
spection instructions and replace-
ment recommendations. The
child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.
CHILD SAFETY
Children need adults to help protect
them. They need to be properly re-
strained.
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. Front facing child
restraints are available for children who out-
grow rear facing child restraints.
WARNING
Infants and children need special
protection. The vehicle’s seat belts
may not fitthem properly.The shoul-
der 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.
All US states and provinces of Canada require
the use of approved child restraints for infants
and small children. (See “Child restraints”
later in this section.)
In addition, there are many types of child
restraints available for larger children which
should be used for maximum protection.
INFINITI recommends that all preteens
and children be restrained in the rear
seat if possible. According to accident
statistics, children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
