as outlined in this manual should not
cause the passenger air bag to be auto-
matically turned OFF. For small adults it
may be turned OFF, however, if the
occupant does not sit in the seat properly
(for example, by not sitting upright, by
sitting on an edge of the seat, or by
otherwise being out of position), this could
cause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF.
Always be sure to be seated and wearing
the seat belt properly for the most effective
protection by the seat belt and supple-
mental air bag.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear
seat. INFINITI also recommends that appro-
priate child restraints and booster seats be
properly installed in a rear seat. If this is
not possible, the occupant classification
sensor is designed to operate as described
above to turn the front passenger air bag
OFF for specified child restraints. Failing to
properly secure child restrains and to use
the ALR 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“Child
restraints” (P.1-19) for proper use and installation.)
If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
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 being
detected by the occupant classification
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 passenger
air bag is automatically turned OFF with the
seat occupied. The light will not illuminate
when the front passenger seat is unoccu-
pied.
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 properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front
seat, the passenger air bag status light
may or may not be illuminated, depending
on the size of the child and the type of child restraint being used. If the passenger
air bag status light is not illuminated
(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. Make sure that the child restraint
is installed properly, the seat belt is used
properly and the occupant is positioned
properly. If the passenger air bag status
light is still not illuminated, reposition the
occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.
If the passenger air bag status light will not
illuminate even though you believe that the
child restraint, the seat belts and the
occupant are properly positioned, the
system may be sensing an unoccupied
seat (in which case the air bag is OFF). Your
INFINITI retailer can check that the system
is OFF by using a special tool. However,
until you have confirmed with your retailer
that your air bag is working properly,
reposition the occupant or child restraint
in a rear seat.
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. However, if the seat
becomes unoccupied, the air bag status
light will remain off.
Safety

WARNING
.Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally opening
the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
SPA2626
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to
lock or unlock all doors simultaneously
using the mechanical key.
.Turning the driver’s door key cylinder to
the rear of the vehicle
*1will lock all
doors.
. Turning the driver’s door key cylinder
once to the front of the vehicle
*2will
unlock the driver’s door. After returning
the key to the neutral position
*3,
turning it to the front again within 5
seconds will unlock all doors. .
You can switch the lock system to the
mode that allows you to open all the
doors when the key is turned once.
(See “How to use SETTING button” (P.4-
13).)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY
The driver’s door key operation also allows
you to open and close the window that is
equipped with the automatic open/close
function. (See “Power windows” (P.2-49).)
To open the window, turn the driver’s door
key cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for
longer than 1 second. The door is unlocked
and the window keeps opening while
turning the key.
This function can also be performed by
pushing and holding the UNLOCK button
on the Intelligent Key. (See “Remote key-
less entry system” (P.3-14).)
To close the windows, turn the driver’s
door key cylinder to the front of the vehicle
for longer than 1 second. The door is
locked and the window keeps closing while
turning the key.

over the retractable hard top (for exam-
ple, in a garage or a covered area). More
than approximately 6.6 ft (2 m) from the
ground and more than approximately 3.3
ft (1 m) from the rear is required to open
or close the retractable hard top safely.
Otherwise, the top may damage any
objects above it while moving. The
retractable hard top operating system
could also be damaged.
. Do not operate the retractable hard top
in a strong wind. It could be blown by
the wind, striking someone or damaging
the retractable hard top.
. When the retractable hard top is re-
tracted, do not allow anyone to stand up
or extend any portion of their body out
of the opening while the vehicle is in
motion or while the retractable hard top
is being operated.
. In an accident you could be thrown from
the vehicle with an open retractable hard
top if you do not use seat belts. Always
use seat belts and proper child re-
straints.
. Do not place any objects on or near the
retractable hard top operating switch.
Unintentional operation of the retract- able hard top may cause injuries or an
accident if the objects press the switch.
. Do not put your fingers or hands in the
gap between the rear seats and the rear
parcel shelf or the side flaps. Doing so
may cause injury if the retractable hard
top is operated.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the retractable hard top
when the temperature is below 328F
(08C). This may result in damage to the
retractable hard top material or operat-
ing system.
. Remove water drops, snow, ice or sand
from the retractable hard top, and dry
the surface of the retractable hard top
completely before opening it.
. Do not open the retractable hard top
when it is wet or damp. If the retractable
hardtop and rear window are wet, water
might get inside of the vehicle. To avoid
this, wipe off any water drops before
opening the retractable hard top.
. Do not place any objects between the
hard rail and the structure. Doing so could interfere with retractable hard top
operation and cause damage to the
retractable hard top operating system
or the objects.
. Do not place any objects on the upper
area of the windshield glass or the hard
rail when the retractable hard top is fully
opened. Doing so could interfere with
retractable hard top operation and cause
damage.
. Do not place any object between the
retractable hard top when the retract-
able hard top is stored in the storage
space. Doing so may interfere with
retractable hard top operation and cause
damage.
. Do not place anything on the retractable
hard top, rear parcel shelf, side flaps and
trunk lid. Even small items may interfere
with the retractable hard top operation
and could cause damage to the retract-
able hard top or the vehicle body.
. Do not place anything in the retractable
hard top storage area. The retractable
hard top will not fit there properly, and
this could damage the retractable hard
top and/or the vehicle body.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-19
Page 302 of 466

WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. They could
accidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from play-
ing and becoming locked in the trunk
where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the car locked, with the rear
seatback and trunk lid securely latched
when not in use, and prevent children’s
access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-
ous. It can cause unconsciousness or
death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open,
follow these precautions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to off
and the fan control to high to
circulate the air. .
If electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer through
the seal on the trunk lid or the body,
follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion to prevent carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
—The vehicle is raised for service.
—You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
—You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
—You have had an accident involvingdamage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.
