PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the following systems.
● Driver and passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System)
● Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bag
● Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag
● Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag system: The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest
of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bag system: This system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest and pelvis area of
the driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The supplemental side air
bag is designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag system:
This system can
help cushion the impact force to the head of
occupants in front and rear (2nd and 3rd)
outboard seating positions in certain side im-
pact or rollover collisions. In a side impact, the
curtain and rollover air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted. In a rollover both curtain and rollover
air bags are designed to inflate and remain
inflated for a short period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to supplement the crash protection pro-
vided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel and door fin-
ishers. (See “SEAT BELTS” earlier in this section
for instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, the supplemental air bag warning light illu-
minates. The supplemental air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the systems
are operational.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
1-50Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bags:
●The side-impact supplemental air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a front
impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-
ity side collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of accidents. ●
The curtain side-impact and rollover supple-
mental air bags ordinarily will not inflate in
the event of a front impact, rear impact, or
lower severity side collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of accidents.
●The seat belts, the side air bags and curtain
and rollover air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in the
seat. The side air bags and curtain and rollover
air bags inflate with great force. Do not allow
anyone to place their hand, leg or face near the
side air bags on the side of the seatback of the
front seat or near the side roof rails. Do not
allow anyone sitting in the front seats or rear
outboard seats to extend their hand out of the
window or lean against the door. Some ex-
amples of dangerous riding positions are
shown in the previous illustrations.
● When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seat. If the
side air bags inflates, you may be seriously
injured. Be especially careful with children,
who should always be properly restrained.
Some examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the illustrations.
● Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with side air bags
inflation.

(front seats)
WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passenger’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.
(4 kg) on the seatback, head restraint or in
the seatback pocket.
● Do not store cargo behind the seat that can
press into the seatback.
SSS1098
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-55

●Tampering with the air bag system may re-
sult in serious personal injury. Tampering
includes changes to the steering wheel and
the instrument panel assembly by placing
material over the steering wheel pad and
above the instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around the air bag
system.
● Modifying or tampering with the front pas-
senger seat may result in serious personal
injury. For example, do not change the front
seats by placing material on the seat cush-
ion or by installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, on the seat that is not
specifically designed to assure proper air
bag operation. Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passenger seat or the
seat cushion and seatback. Such objects
may interfere with the proper operation of
the occupant classification sensors.
● No unauthorized changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the seat belt
system. This may affect the front air bag
system. Tampering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal injury. ●
Work on and around the front air bag system
should be done by an INFINITI retailer. Instal-
lation of electrical equipment should also be
done by an INFINITI retailer. The Supplemen-
tal Restraint System (SRS) wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or discon-
nected. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should not
be used on the air bag system.
● A cracked windshield should be replaced im-
mediately by a qualified repair facility. A
cracked windshield could affect the function
of the supplemental air bag system.
*1.The SRS wiring harness connectors are yellow and orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the front air bag system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND
ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-
IMPACT AND ROLLOVER
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain and
rollover air bags are located in the side roof
rails. These systems are designed to meet
voluntary guidelines to help reduce the risk of
injury to out-of-position occupants. However, all
of the information, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed. The
side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags
are designed to inflate in higher severity side
SSS1092
1-60Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

collisions, although they may inflate if the
forces in another type of collision are similar to
those of a higher severity side impact. They are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in
certain side collisions on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
Curtain and rollover air bags are also designed
to inflate in certain types of rollover collisions
or near rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle
movements (for example, during severe off
roading) may cause the curtain and rollover air
bags to inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain
and rollover air bag operation.
When side air bags and curtain and rollover air
bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,
followed by release of smoke. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause
irritation and choking. Those with a history of a
breathing condition should get fresh air
promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
and pelvis of the front occupants. Curtain and
rollover air bags help to cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in the front andrear (2nd and 3rd) outboard seating positions.
They can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, an inflating side air bags and
curtain and rollover air bags may cause abra-
sions or other injuries. Side air bags and curtain
and rollover air bags do not provide restraint to
the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the side air bag. Rear seat
passengers should be seated as far away as
practical from the door finishers and side roof
rails. The side air bags and curtain and rollover
air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the occupants. Because of this, the force of the
side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags
inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against, these air
bag modules during inflation. The side air bags
will deflate quickly after the collision is over.
The curtain and rollover air bag will remain
inflated for a while.
The side air bags and curtain and rollover air
bags operate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, the supplemental air bag warning light illu-
minates. The air bag warning light will turn off
after about 7 seconds if the systems are opera-
tional.
WARNING
●
Do not place any objects near the seatback
of the front seats. Also, do not place any
objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door finisher and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if side air bag inflates.
● Right after inflation, several side air bags
and curtain and rollover air bag system com-
ponents will be hot. Do not touch them; you
may severely burn yourself.
● No unauthorized changes should be made to
any components or wiring of side air bag and
curtain and rollover air bags. This is to pre-
vent damage to or accidental inflation of the
side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag
systems.
● Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem or side panel. This could affect proper
operation of the side air bag and curtain and
rollover air bag systems.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-61

If any abnormality occurs in the pretensioner
system, the supplemental air bag warning light
will not come on, will flash intermittently
or will turn on for 7 seconds and remain on after
the ignition switch has been pushed to the ON
position. In this case, the pretensioner system
may not function properly. They must be
checked and repaired. Take your vehicle to the
nearest INFINITI retailer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pretensioner system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
