Infiniti G35 Coupe (2006) User Manual [ru]

Foreword
Your INFINITI represents a new way of thinking about vehicle design. It inte­grates advanced engineering and supe­rior craftsmanship with a simple, refined aesthetic sensitivity associated with tra­ditional Japanese 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 perfor­mance characteristics of your INFINITI; it also provides important instructions and safety information.
A separate Warranty Information Booklet can be found in your Owner’s literature portfolio. The INFINITI Service and Mainte­nance Guide explains details about main­taining and servicing your vehicle. Always carry it with you when you take your INFINITI to an authorized retailer. The portfolio contents provide complete infor­mation about all warranties covering this vehicle, the periodic maintenance re-
quired 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.
INFINITI is dedicated to providing a satis­fying ownership experience for as long as you own your car. Should you have any questions regarding your INFINITI or an INFINITI dealer, please contact our Con­sumer Affairs department at: In U.S. 1-800-662-6200. In Canada 1-800-361-4792.

WARNING
ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (front seats)
WARNING
O Always adjust the head restraints prop-
erly as specified in the previous section. Failure to do so can reduce the effective­ness of the active head restraint.
O Active head restraints are designed to
supplement other safety systems. Al­ways wear seat belts. No system can
SEAT BELTS
prevent all injuries in any accident.
O Do not attach anything to the head re-
straint stalks. Doing so could impair ac­tive head restraint function.
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 injury occurs most.
Active head restraints operate only in cer­tain rear-end collisions. After the colli­sion, the head restraints return to their original positions.
Properly adjust the active head restraints as described in the previous section.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat, 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 includes a supple­mental air bag.
Most states, provinces or territories re­quire that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven.
SSS0186
ARMREST (if so equipped)
Pull the armrest forward until it is hori­zontal.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-9
WARNING
O 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.
O 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
SSS0136A
chance or severity of injury in an acci­dent. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
O 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.
O 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.
O Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
O Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its effec­tiveness.
O Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
O Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
O If the seat belt warning light glows con-
tinuously while the ignition is turned ON with all doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the system. Have the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.
O Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has ac-
tivated, it cannot be reused and must be replaced together with the retractor. See an INFINITI dealer.
1-10 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
SSS0134A SSS0016
O Removal and installation of the pre-
tensioner seat belt system components should be done by an INFINITI dealer.
O All seat belt assemblies, including re-
tractors and attaching hardware, should be inspected after any collision by an INFINITI dealer. INFINITI recommends 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 operate properly. Seat belt assemblies not in
use during a collision should also be in­spected and replaced if either damageor improper operation is noted.
O 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.

CHILD SAFETY
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, in­cluding doctors, teachers, government traffic safety offices, and community orga­nizations. 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:
O Rear-facing child restraint O Front-facing child restraint O Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size. Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less than 20 lb (9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child re­straints. Front-facing child restraints are available for children who outgrow rear­facing 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 front-facing child restraint.
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.
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.)
Also, there are other types of child re­straints available for larger children for additional protection.
