ECU INFINITI G35 2006 Owner's Manual

BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION ON
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
WARNINGINFINITI recommends that child restraints be
installed in the rear seat. However, if you
must install a booster seat in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger seat to the
rearmost position. Also be sure that the front
passenger air bag status light is illuminated
to indicate the passenger air bag is OFF. See ªFront passenger air bag and status
lightº later in this section for details.
If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, follow these steps:
1. Move the seat to the rearmost posi-
tion.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat.
Only place it in a front-facing direc-
tion. Always follow the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions.
3. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. See ªHead restraint
adjustmentº earlier in this section. If
the head restraint is removed, store it
in a secure place. Be sure to install
the head restraint when the booster
seat is removed. If the seating posi-
tion does not have an adjustable head
restraint and it is interfering with the
proper booster seat fit, try another
seating position or a different booster
seat. 4. Position the lap portion of the seat
belt low and snug on the child's hips.
Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions for ad-
justing the belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the
seat belt toward the retractor to take
up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder
belt is positioned across the top,
middle portion of the child's shoulder.
Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer's instructions for ad-
justing the belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in-
structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in the ªThree-point type
seat belt with retractorº earlier in this
section.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the ON po-
sition. The passenger air bag status
light should illuminate. If this
light is not illuminated, see ªFront
passenger air bag and status lightº
later in this section. Move the booster
seat to another seating position. Have
the system checked by an INFINITI
dealer.LRS0454

INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear
seat. INFINITI also recommends that ap-
propriate child restraints and booster
seats be properly installed in a rear seat.
If this is not possible, the occupant clas-
sification sensor and seat belt sensors
are designed to operate as described
above to turn the front passenger air bag
OFF for specified child restraints as re-
quired by the regulations. Failing to prop-
erly secure child restrains and to use the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) may allow the restraint to tip or
move in an accident or sudden stop. This
can also result in the passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF.
See ªChild restraintsº earlier in this sec-
tion for proper use and installation.
If the front passenger seat is not occu-
pied, the passenger air bag is designed
not to inflate in a crash. However, heavy
objects placed on the seat could result in
air bag inflation, because of the object's
weight detected by the occupant classifi-
cation sensor. Other conditions could also
result in air bag inflation, such as if a
child is standing on the seat, or if two
children are on the seat, contrary to the
instructions in this manual. Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
Using the passenger air bag status light,
you can monitor when the front pas-
senger air bag is automatically turned OFF
with the seat occupied. The light will not
illuminate when the front passenger seat
is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
passenger air bag status light is illumi-
nated (indicating that the air bag is OFF),
it could be that the person is a small
adult, or is not sitting on the seat prop-
erly or is not using the seat belt properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the
front seat, the passenger air bag status
light may or may not be illuminated, de-
pending on the size of the child and the
type of child restraint being used. If the
passenger air bag status light is not illu-
minated (indicating that the air bag might
inflate in a crash), it could be that the
child restraint or seat belt is not being
used properly. In rare cases, the pas-
senger air bag status light will not illumi-
nate even though the air bag is OFF.
If such situations happen, properly posi-
tion and restrain the occupant or child re-
straint. Otherwise reposition the occupant or child restraint in a rear seat. If you
have any questions about whether your
passenger air bag is working as designed,
your INFINITI dealer can confirm that it is
working properly by using a special tool.
The INFINITI advanced air bag system and
passenger air bag status light will take a
few seconds to register a change in the
passenger seat status. For example, if a
large adult who is sitting in the front pas-
senger seat exits the vehicle, the passen-
ger air bag status light will change from
OFF to ON for a few seconds and then to
OFF. This is normal system operation and
does not indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front pas-
senger air bag system, the supplemental
air bag warning light , located in the
meter and gauges area will blink. Have
the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.

plied, stop the vehicle and perform the
following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake
fluid as necessary. See ªBrake fluidº
in the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourselfº section.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have
the warning system checked by an
INFINITI dealer.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the anti-lock
brake system warning light illuminate, it
may indicate the anti-lock brake system is
not functioning properly. Have the brake
system checked by an INFINITI dealer. See
ªAnti-lock brake warning lightº earlier in
this section. WARNING O Your brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on.

tened. At the same time, the chime will
sound for about 6 seconds unless the
driver's seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light may also illu-
minate if the front passenger's seat belt
is not fastened when the front passen-
ger's seat is occupied (if so equipped).
For 5 seconds after the ignition switch is
in the ON position, the system does not
activate the warning light for the front
passenger.
If the light blinks or illuminates even if
the driver's and front passenger's seat
belts are fastened, it may indicate that
the pre-crash seat belt system (if so
equipped) has a malfunction. Have an
INFINITI dealer check and repair the
system.

Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:
O Vehicle Security System
O INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by
the security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM The vehicle security system provides vi-
sual and audible alarm signals if
someone opens the doors, hood, or trunk
lid when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection type system that activates when a vehicle is moved or
when a vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and
always lock it when unattended. Be aware
of your surroundings, and park in secure,
well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty shops. An INFINITI dealer may also
offer such equipment. Check with your in-
surance company to see if you may be eli-
gible for discounts for various theft pro-
tection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system 1. Close all windows.
The system can be armed even if the win-
dows are open.
2. O Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
O Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position or remove the mechanical
key from the ignition switch (Intelli-
gent Key equipped model).SIC2132 SIC2564

3. Close and lock all doors, hood and
trunk lid.
Lock all doors by pushing the LOCK
button on the keyfob, the Intelli-
gent Key or by pushing any front door
handle request switch or turning the
door key. When using the remote key-
less entry, the hazard indicators will
operate as shown in ªRemote keyless
entry systemº or ªIntelligent Key
systemº in the ª3. Pre-driving checks
and adjustmentsº section.
4. Confirm that the security indicator
light
q A
comes on. The security indica-
tor light glows for about 30 seconds
and then blinks. The system is now
armed. If, during this 30-second time
period, the door is unlocked by the
key, the remote keyless entry or the
front door request switch, or the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ACC or ON
position, the system will not be
armed.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will be
armed with all doors, hood and trunk lid
locked and ignition switch off. Turn the ig-
nition switch to the ACC position to turn off
the system. Vehicle security system activation The security system will give the following
alarm:
O The headlights blink and the horn
sounds intermittently.
O The alarm automatically turns off after
approximately 50 seconds. However,
the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is
tampered with again. The alarm can
be shut off by unlocking a door with
the key, by pushing any front door
handle request switch or by pushing
the UNLOCK button on the keyfob
or Intelligent Key.
The alarm is activated by:
O Opening the door without using the
key or keyfob or Intelligent Key.
O Opening the trunk lid without using
the keyfob or Intelligent Key.
O Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm The alarm will stop only by unlocking a
door with the key, by pushing any door
handle request switch or by pushing the
UNLOCK button on keyfob or Intelli-
gent Key. The alarm will not stop if the ig- nition switch is turned to the ACC or ON
position.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by an
INFINITI dealer.
INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the regis-
tered key (for example, when interference
is caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or automated
payment device on the key ring), restart
the engine using the following proce-
dures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po-
sition for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or
LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the
device (which may have caused the in-

terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to
start, INFINITI recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other de-
vices.
