PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the following systems.
●Driver and passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System)
● Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bag
● Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag
● Seat belt with pretensioner cap
Supplemental front-impact air bag system: The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest
of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bag system: This system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest and pelvis area of
the driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The front seat side-impact
supplemental air bags are designed to inflate
on the side where the vehicle is impacted. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemen-
tal air bag system:
This system can help cushion
the impact force to the head of occupants in
front and rear outboard seating positions in
certain side impact collisions. The curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to supplement the crash protection pro-
vided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel and door fin-
ishers. (See “SEAT BELTS” earlier in this section
for instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, the supplemental air bag warning light illu-
minates. The supplemental air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the systems
are operational.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-37

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bags:
●The side air bags and curtain air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a frontal
impact, rear impact, rollover or lower sever-
ity side collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of accidents. ●
The seat belts, the side air bags and curtain
air bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat. The
side air bags and curtain air bags inflate with
great force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side air bags
on the side of the seatback of the front seat
or near the side roof rails. Do not allow any-
one sitting in the front seats or rear outboard
seats to extend their hand out of the window
or lean against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in the
previous illustrations.
● When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seat. If the
side air bags inflates, you may be seriously
injured. Be especially careful with children,
who should always be properly restrained.
Some examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the illustrations.
● Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with side air bags
inflation.

INFINITI ADVANCED AIR BAG SYSTEM
(front seats)
This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI Ad-
vanced Air Bag System for the driver and front
passenger seats. This system is designed to
meet certification requirements under U.S.
regulations. It is also permitted in Canada.
However, all of the information, cautions and
warnings in this manual still apply and must be
followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is
located in the center of the steering wheel. The
passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is
mounted in the instrument panel above the
glove box. The front air bags are designed to
inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, al-
though they may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. They may not inflate in
certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or
lack of it) is not always an indication of proper
front air bag operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System has dual
stage air bag inflators. The system monitors

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND
ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-
IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air
bags are located in the side roof rails. These
systems are designed to meet voluntary guide-
lines to help reduce the risk of injury to occu-
pants.However, all of the information, cautions
and warnings in this manual still apply and must
be followed. The side air bags and curtain air
bags are designed to inflate in higher severity
side collisions, although they may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to
those of a higher severity side impact. They are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in
certain side collisions on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain air
bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, fol-
lowed by release of smoke. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause
irritation and choking. Those with a history of a
breathing condition should get fresh air
promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
and pelvis of the front occupants. Curtain air
bags help to cushion the impact force to the
head of occupants in the front and rear out-
board seating positions. They can help save
lives and reduce serious injuries. However, in-
flating side air bags and curtain air bags may
cause abrasions or other injuries. Side air bags
and curtain air bags do not provide restraint to
the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the side air bags. Rear seat
passengers should be seated as far away as
practical from the door finishers and side roof
rails. The side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate quickly in order to help protect the
occupants. Because of this, the force of the side
air bags and curtain air bags inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too
close to, or is against, these air bag modules
during inflation. The side air bags and curtain
air bags will deflate quickly after the collision is
over.
The side air bags and curtain air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, the supplemental air bag warning light illu-
minates. The air bag warning light will turn off
after about 7 seconds if the systems are opera-
tional.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-47

WARNING
●Do not place any objects near the seatback
of the front seats. Also, do not place any
objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door finisher and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if a side air bag inflates.
● Right after inflation, several front seat-
mounted side air bags and roof-mounted
curtain air bag system components will be
hot. Do not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
● No unauthorized changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the side air bag
and curtain air bags. This is to prevent dam-
age to or accidental inflation of the side air
bag and curtain air bag systems.
● Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem or side panel. This could affect proper
operation of the side air bag and curtain air
bag systems.
● Tampering with the side air bag system may
result in serious personal injury. For ex-
ample, do not change the front seat by plac-
ing material near the seatback or by install-
ing additional trim material, such as seat
covers, around the side air bag. ●
Work around and on the side air bag and
curtain air bag systems should be done by an
INFINITI retailer. Installation of electrical
equipment should also be done by an
INFINITI retailer. The Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) wiring harnesses*
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
side air bag or curtain air bag systems.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the side-impact air bag
and curtain side-impact air bag system and
guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in
this Owner’s Manual.
SEAT BELTS WITH PRETENSIONERS
(front seats)
WARNING
● The pretensioners cannot be reused after ac-
tivation. They must be replaced together
with the retractor and buckle as a unit. ●
If the vehicle becomes involved in a collision
but a pretensioner is not activated, be sure
to have the pretensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by an INFINITI
retailer.
● No unauthorized changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the preten-
sioner system. This is to prevent damage to
or accidental activation of the pretension-
ers. Tampering with the pretensioner sys-
tem may result in serious personal injury.
● Work around and on the pretensioner sys-
tem should be done by an INFINITI retailer.
Installation of electrical equipment should
also be done by an INFINITI retailer. Unau-
thorized electrical test equipment and prob-
ing devices should not be used on the pre-
tensioner system.
● If you need to dispose of the pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, contact an INFINITI re-
tailer. Correct pretensioner disposal proce-
dures are set forth in the appropriate
INFINITI Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with the
supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor,
it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle
1-48Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

becomes involved in certain types of collisions,
helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt
retractor. These seat belts are used the same
way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. The
smoke is not harmful, and it does not indicate a
fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those with a
history of a breathing condition should get
fresh air promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters al-
low the seat belt to release webbing (if neces-
sary) to reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is used to indicate malfunctions in the preten-
sioner system. If the operation of the supple-
mental air bag warning light indicates there is a
malfunction (See “SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT” in this section), have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pretensioner system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
