.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 sec-
onds.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag or
pretensioner systems may not operate prop-
erly. They must be checked and repaired. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light
is on, it could mean that the front air
bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and/or
pretensioner systems will not operate in
an accident. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags and pretensioners are designed to
activate on a one-time-only basis. As a
reminder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag warning light will remain
illuminated after inflation has occurred.
These systems should be repaired and/or
replaced as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags,
curtain air bags, pretensioners and related
parts should be pointed out to the person
conducting the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the LOCK
position when working under the hood or
inside the vehicle.
WARNING
.Once a front air bag, side air bag, or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner must also
be replaced. The air bag module and
pretensioner should be replaced. It isrecommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. However, the
air bag module and pretensioner
system cannot be repaired.
.The front air bag, side air bag, curtain
air bag and the pretensioner system
should be inspected if there is any
damage to the front end or side
portion of the vehicle. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
.If you need to dispose of the supple-
mental air bag or pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, it is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer. Correct
supplemental air bag and seat belt
pretensioner system disposal proce-
dures are set forth in the appropriate
INFINITI Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause per-
sonal injury.
.If there is an impact to your vehicle
from any direction, your Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) should be
checked by an INFINITI retailer to
verify it is still functioning correctly.
The OCS should be checked even if no
air bags deploy as a result of the
impact. Failure to verify proper OCS
function may result in an improper air
bag deployment resulting in injury or

TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM).Do not rev
the engine into the red zone
.
The scale length and the red zone vary with
the engine model.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce
engine speed. Operating the engine in
the red zone may cause serious engine
damage.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERA-
TURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge needle points
within the zone
shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with
the outside air temperature and driving
conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature is near the hot (H) end of
the normal range, reduce vehicle speed
to decrease the temperature. If the
gauge is over the normal range, stop
the vehicle as soon as safely possible and
let the engine idle. If the engine is
overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the engine.

illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5).
WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment man-
ufacturer for the possible influences
before use.
.If the light does not illuminate with
the ignition switch pushed ON, have
the vehicle checked as soon as possi-
ble. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
.If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location
and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the
tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLDtire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn the
low tire pressure warning light OFF.
If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS
may be malfunctioning. If you have a
flat tire, replace it with a spare tire (if
so equipped) or repair it with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit (if
so equipped) as soon as possible. If no
tire is flat and all tires are properly
inflated, it is recommended you con-
sult an INFINITI retailer.
.For models with run-flat tires,
although you can continue driving
with a punctured run-flat tire, re-
member that vehicle handling stabi-
lity is reduced, which could lead to an
accident and personal injury. Also,
driving a long distance at high speeds
may damage the tires.
— Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than approximately 93 miles
(150 km) with a punctured run-
flat tire. The actual distance the
vehicle can be driven on a flat tire
depends on outside temperature,
vehicle load, road conditions and
other factors.— If you detect any unusual sounds
or vibrations while driving with a
punctured run-flat tire, pull off
the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. The tire may be seriously
damaged and need to be replaced.
.Since the spare tire is not equipped
with the TPMS, when a spare tire is
mounted or a wheel is replaced, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash
for approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for these services.
.Replacing tires with those not origin-
ally specified by INFINITI could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
.If the vehicle is being driven at speeds
of less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the

impact air bag systems and/or pretensioner
seat belt are operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, supplemental
side air bag, supplemental curtain side-
impact air bag and pretensioner seat belt
needs servicing.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 sec-
onds.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
