PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
●
Infants and small children should always be
placed in an appropriate child restraint
while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a
child restraint can result in serious injury or
death.
●
Infants and small children should never be
carried on your lap. It is not possible for even
the strongest adult to resist the forces of a
severe accident. The child could be crushed
between the adult and parts of the vehicle.
Also, do not put the same seat belt around
both your child and yourself.
●
Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An inflating front air
bag could seriously injure or kill your child. A
rear-facing child restraint must only be used
in the rear seat.
●
INFINITI recommends that the child restraint
be installed in the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat. If you must install a front
facing child restraint in the front seat, see
“CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS” later in this section.
●
Improper use or improper installation of a
child restraint can increase the risk or sever-
ity of injury for both the child and other oc-
cupants of the vehicle and can lead to seri-
ous injury or death in an accident.
●
Follow all of the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation and use.
When purchasing a child restraint, be sure to
select one which will fit your child and ve-
hicle. It may not be possible to properly in-
stall some types of child restraints in your
vehicle.
●
If the child restraint is not anchored prop-
erly, the risk of a child being injured in a
collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.
●
Child restraint anchor points are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no cir-
cumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses.
●
Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned
to fit the child restraint, but as upright as
possible.
●
After attaching the child restraint, test it be-
fore you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side while holding the seat near the
LATCH attachment or by the seat belt path.
Try to tug it forward and check to see if the
belt holds the restraint in place. The child
restraint should not move more than 1 in (25
mm). If the restraint is not secure, tighten
the belt 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.
●
When your child restraint is not in use, keep
it secured with the LATCH System or a seat
belt to prevent it from being thrown around
in case of a sudden stop or accident.
