WARNING
.The front air bags ordinarily will not
inflate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity frontal
collision. Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of injury
in various kinds of accidents.
. The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the passenger air bag status
light is lit or if the front passenger seat
is unoccupied. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-45).
. The seat belts and the front air bags are
most effective when you are sitting well
back and upright in the seat. The front
air bags inflate with great force. Even
with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System, if you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the front air bag if you are up
against it when it inflates. Always sit
back against the seatback and as far-
away as practical from the steering
wheel or instrument panel. Always use the seat belts.
. The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
Advanced Air Bag System monitors the
severity of a collision and seat belt
usage then inflates the air bags as
needed. Failure to properly wear seat
belts can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
. The front passenger seat is equipped
with occupant classification sensors
(weight sensors) that turn the front
passenger air bag OFF under some
conditions. This sensor is only used in
this seat. Failure to be properly seated
and wearing the seat belt can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” (P.1-45).
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could increase the
risk of injury if the front air bag inflates.

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s advanced air bag system, please
observe the following items.
.
Do not allow a passenger in the rear seat
to push or pull on the seatback pocket.
. Do not place heavy loads heavier than 9
lbs. (4kg) on the seatback, head re-
straint or in the seatback pocket.
. Do not store luggage behind the seat
that can press into the seatback.
. Confirm the operating condition with the
front passenger air bag status light.
. If you notice that the front passenger air
bag status light is not operating in
accordance with the above description,
please take your vehicle to your INFINITI
retailer to check the passenger seat
advanced air bag system.

Other supplemental front-impact
air bag precautions
GUID-5C2FA888-FA94-4BF5-A861-7D3C24A0D2DA
WARNING
. Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel pad or on the instrument panel.
Also, do not place any objects between
any occupant and the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the front air bags inflate.
. Do not place objects with sharp edges
on the seat. Also, do not place heavy
objects on the seat that will leave
permanent impressions in the seat. Such
objects can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensors (weight sensors).
This can affect the operation of the air
bag system and result in serious perso-
nal injury. .
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can
damage the seat or occupant classifica-
tion sensors. This can also affect the
operation of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Immediately after inflation, several front
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 supplemental air bag system. This is
to prevent accidental inflation of the
supplemental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-
sion system or front end structure. This
could affect proper operation of the front
air bag system.
. Tampering with the air bag system may
result in serious personal injury. Tamper-
ing includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the steering
wheel pad and above the instrument
panel or by installing additional trim

RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER SYS-
TEM (if so equipped)
GUID-FD5F0307-6E94-49F6-969F-C30BB968717F
CAUTION
.Do not touch the rain sensor and around
it when the wiper switch is in the AUTO
position and the ignition switch is in the
ON position. The wipers may operate
unexpectedly and cause to an injury or a
wiper damage.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch
is left in the AUTO position, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly when dirt,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are stuck
on or around the sensor. The wipers may
also operate when exhaust gas or
moisture affect the rain sensor.
. When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher
even though the amount of the rainfall is
small.
. Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain
sensor even if it is raining.
. Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the rain-
sensing auto wiper system. (See “Wind-
shield wiper blades” (P.8-22) for wiper
blade replacement.)

MIRRORS

CAUTION
.Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
. Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of snow,
ice and dirt. Do not scratch the surface of
the sonar sensors when cleaning. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy of the
sonar function will be diminished.
The system gives the tone for front objects
when the selector lever is in the D (Drive)
position and both front and rear objects
when the selector lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
When the camera image is shown on the
display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the selector lever
position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 MPH(10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
When the objects are detected, the indi- cator (green) appears and blinks and the
tone sounds intermittently. When the
vehicle moves closer to the object, the
color of the indicator turns yellow and the
rate of the blinking and the rate of the tone
increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and
turns red, and the tone sounds continu-
ously.
The intermittent tone will stop after three
seconds when an object is detected by
only the corner sonar and the distance
does not change.
The tone will stop when the object gets
away from the vehicle.
