can cause serious burns, which can occur just
by opening the hood.
There is a risk of injury
If the red coolant warning light lights up while the
engine is running and the coolant temperature
gauge is at the start of the scale, the temperature
sensor for the coolant temperature gauge is
faulty. The coolant temperature is no longer being
monitored. There is a risk of engine damage if the
coolant temperature is too high.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine. Do not continue driving under any
circumstances.
Consult an INFINITI retailer.
If the red coolant warning light comes on while
the engine is running, with or without an ac-
companying warning tone, it could mean that:
•The coolant level is too low.
•If the coolant level is correct, the airflow to
the engine radiator may be blocked or the
electric engine radiator fan may be malfunc-
tioning.

[Front Passenger Airbag
Disabled See Operator’s
Manual]The front-passenger front air bag is disabled during the journey although an adult or person of corresponding stature is on the front
passenger seat.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are properly seated and using the seat belt as outlined in this manual should not cause the
front passenger air bag to be automatically turned OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF, however if the occupant takes his/her
weight off the seat cushion (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 supplemental air bag.
If additional forces are applied to the seat, the system may interpret the occupant’s weight as lower than it actually is.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe area away from traffic as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Have the occupant on the front-passenger seat step out of the vehicle.
5. Make sure that the seat is unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch on the ignition.
6. Observe the indicator lights in the center console and the vehicle information display and check the following.
Seat unoccupied and ignition switched on:
- The and indicator lights must light up simultaneously for approximately six
seconds.
- The indicator lights must then light up and remain lit. If the indicator light is on, the automatic
front-passenger front air bag deactivation system has disabled the front-passenger front air bag (seeFront passenger air bag and
status lightin the1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint systemsection)
- the [Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator’s Manual] or [Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator’s Manual] display
messages must not be shown in the vehicle information display.
7. Wait for a period of at least 60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been completed.
8. Make sure that the display messages do not appear in the vehicle information display.
If these conditions are met, the front-passenger seat can be occupied again. Whether the or indicator
light remains lit or goes out depends on how the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system classifies the occupant.
If the conditions are not met, the system is not operating correctly.
Have the system checked immediately. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
