OTHER SPECIFICS ABOUT AIR BAGS

Do not position the front passenger seat so it contacts the rear seat. If the front
passenger seat does contact the rear seat, the air bag system may determine a
sensor malfunction has occurred and the front passenger air bag status light may
illuminate and the supplemental air bag warning light may flash.
 If the supplemental air bag warning light in the instrument panel continues to
remain ON or flashes after you start the vehicle, see your INFINITI retailer or other
authorized repair facility as soon as possible.
 After inflation, air bag components are hot, so avoid contact.
 Do not place objects on or near the steering wheel or instrument panel where the
air bags inflate.
 Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat of a vehicle.
 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 the occupant classification sensor. This can
affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.
 Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This can
damage the seat or occupant classification sensor. This can also affect the
operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.
 Modifying or tampering with the front passenger seat may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material
on the seat cushion or by installing additional trim material, such as seat covers,
on the seat that are not specifically designed to assure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any objects under the front passenger seat, or on the
seat cushion, or store luggage behind the seat that may contact the seatback,
or hang heavy objects from the seatback, or the seatback pocket. Such objects
may interfere with the proper operation of the occupant classification sensor.
 See the vehicle owner’s manual for other important information on safety, seats,
seat belts, and the supplemental restraint system. WELL BACK AND UPRIGHT
