parts. The use of counterfeit replacement air bags or used or salvaged air bags is a potential
serious safety problem and may not provide the same level of protection in a crash.

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 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 sensors. 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

receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat
belt properly.

OTHER SPECIFICS ABOUT SEAT BELTS

Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted.
 Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
 Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.
 If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the ignition is turned ON with all doors
closed and with all seat belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the system. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
 See the vehicle owner’s manual for more detailed information to help you better understand
the important safety warnings, system features, operation and maintenance of your vehicle’s
seat belts.
 Always have seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, inspected by
an Infiniti retailer after any collision.

CONCERN FOR YOUR SAFETY
INFINITI urges you to use your available seat belt restraint system whenever you drive, even if
your vehicle is equipped with supplemental air bags. Please ask all of your passengers to buckle
up too. For children, make sure they are secured in an appropriate child restraint or booster
seat.* Seat belts do save lives. See the vehicle owner’s manual for important safety details.
