Even with INFINITI Advanced Air Bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the driver
and passenger seated upright as far as prac-
tical away from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. The front air bags inflate quickly
in order to help protect the front occupants.
Because of this, the force of the front air bag
inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against, the
front air bag module during inflation. The
front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off a few seconds af-
ter the engine starts if the system is opera-
tional.Front passenger air bag and status

WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. Read this section carefully to learn
how it operates. Proper use of the seat,
seat belt and child restraints is necessary
for most effective protection. Failure to
follow all instructions in this manual con-
cerning the use of seats, seat belts and
child restraints can increase the risk or se-
verity of injury in an accident.

Status light
The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensor (pressure sen-
sor) that turns the front passenger air bag on
or off depending on the weight applied to the
front passenger seat. The indicator lights in-
form you whether the front passenger front
air bag is disabled or enabled.
Place the ignition in the ON position. The
system carries out a self-diagnosis.

seconds.
The indicator lights display the status of the
front passenger front air bag:
•
front passenger front air bag is enabled. If,
in the event of an accident, all deployment
criteria are met, the front passenger front
air bag is deployed.
•
the front passenger front air bag is dis-
abled. It will then not be deployed in the
event of an accident.
If the status of the front passenger front air
bag changes while the vehicle is in motion, an
air bag display message appears in the ve-
hicle information display. When the front
passenger seat is occupied, always pay at-
tention to the
and
lights. Be aware of the status of the front
passenger front air bag both before and dur-
ing the journey.
If neither the
or the
lights light up, or if either indicator light only lights up intermittently during the journey, the
front passenger seat may not be used for a
child restraint. Use another seating position
for the child restraint. INFINITI recommends
that all child restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Preteen children should be seated in the
rear seat. For further information see
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.
Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described
below in accordance with U.S. regulations. If
the front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not
inflate in a crash. The driver air bag and other
air bags in your vehicle are not part of this
system. The purpose of the regulation is to
help reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag to be automatically turned OFF
under some conditions. Certain sensors are
used to meet the requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this ve-
hicle is a pressure sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the seat
by weight. For example, if a child up to the
approximate size and weight of a one year
old is properly restrained is in the front pas-senger seat, the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System is designed to turn the front passen-
ger air bag OFF. For a properly restrained
child who is larger than the approximate size
and weight of a one year old, the front pas-
senger air bag may or may not be automati-
cally turned OFF, depending on the size of
the child and the type of child restraint being
used. After installing the child restraint and
positioning the child, place the ignition switch
in the ON position: if the
air bag is OFF. If the
will inflate in a crash. 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 oth-
erwise 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.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear seat.
INFINITI also recommends that appropriate
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-47
Page 67 of 538
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 as required by the regulations.
Failing to properly secure child restraints and
to use the ALR mode may allow the restraint
to tip or move in a collision or sudden stop.
This can also result in the passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF. For
additional information about proper use and
installation, refer to "Child restraints" in the "1.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system" section.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the front 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's weight de-
tected 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, con-
trary to the instructions in this manual. Al-
ways be sure that you and all vehicle occu-
pants are seated and restrained properly.If the automatic front passenger air bag de-
activation system detects that:
•The front passenger seat is unoccupied,
the
tor light lights up after the system self-test
and remains lit. This indicates that the
front passenger front air bag is disabled.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child up to the approxi-
mate size and weight of a one year old, the
light lights up after the system self-test
and remains lit. This indicates that the
front passenger front air bag is disabled.
If neither the
indicator lights light up, or if either indica-
tor light only lights up intermittently during
the journey, the front passenger seat may
not be used for a child restraint. Use an-
other seating position for the child re-
straint. For further information see
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child who is larger than
the approximate size and weight of a one
year old, either the
indicator light lights up and remains lit af-
ter the system self-test depending on the
result of the classification. The result of
the classification is dependent on, among
other factors, the child restraint system
and the child's build.
Move the front passenger seat as far back
as possible. See "Child restraints" earlier in
this section.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
person with a smaller build (e.g. a teenager
or small adult), either the

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
air bags are located in the side roof rails.All of
the information, cautions and warnings in
this manual apply and must be followed. The
side air bags and curtain air bags are de-
signed to inflate in higher severity side colli-
sions, although they may inflate if the forces
in another type of collision are similar to
those of a higher severity impact. They are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in
certain side collisions. Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in certain types of
rollover collisions or near rollovers. As a re-
sult, certain vehicle movements (for example,
during severe off-roading) may cause the
curtain air bags to inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain
air bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, fol-
lowed 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
of the front occupants. Curtain air bags help
to cushion the impact force to the head of
occupants in the front and rear outboard
seating positions in all rows. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. How-
ever, an inflating side air bag or curtain air
bag may cause abrasions or other injuries.
Side air bags and curtain air bags do not
provide restraint to the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and
the driver and front passenger seated uprightas 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
air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the occupants. Because of this, the force of
the side air bags and curtain 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 bag will
deflate quickly after the collision is over.
The curtain air bag will remain inflated for a
short time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags oper-
ate only when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position. After placing the ignition
switch in the ON position, the supplemental
air bag warning light illuminates. The
supplemental air bag warning light will turn
off a few seconds after the engine starts if
the system is operational.
WARNING
•Do not place any objects near the seat-
back 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
SSS0978Z
1-52Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
Page 72 of 538
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if
a side air bag inflates.
•Right after inflation, several side air bag
and curtain air bag system components
will be hot. Do not touch them; you may
severely burn yourself.
•No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the side air bag and curtain air bag sys-
tems. This is to prevent damage to or
accidental inflation of the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems.
•Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-
sion system or side panel. This could af-
fect proper operation of the curtain air
bag systems.
•Tampering with the side air bag system
may result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front seats
by placing material near the seatbacks
or by installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side air
bag.
•It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the front air bag. It is also recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for installation of electrical equipment. The
SRS wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the side air
bag or curtain air bag systems.
Driver and passenger supplemental
knee air bags
The driver's knee air bag deploys under the
steering column, while the passenger's knee
air bag deploys under the glove box. All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The driv-
er's and passenger's knee air bags are trig-
gered together with the front air bag. The
knee air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they may
inflate if the forces in another type of collision
are similar to those of a higher severity fron-
tal impact. They may not inflate in certain
collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper knee air bag operation.
When a knee air bag inflates, 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 notto inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breathing
condition should get fresh air promptly
The knee air bags help to cushion the impact
force on the knees of the driver and front
passenger. They can help reduce serious inju-
ries. However, an inflating knee air bag may
cause abrasions or other injuries. The knee air
bag provides restraint to the lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order to
help protect the occupants. Because of this,
the force of the knee air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is
too close to, or is against, this air bag module
during inflation. The knee air bag will deflate
quickly after the collision is over OR the knee
air bag will remain inflated for a short time.
The knee air bags operate only when the ig-
nition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off a few seconds af-
ter the engine starts if the system is opera-
tional.

•If you need to dispose of the pretension-
er(s) or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain
types of collisions. Working with the seat belt
retractor, the pretensioner(s) help tighten the
seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved
in certain types of collisions, helping to re-
strain front seat and rear outboard occu-
pants. The pretensioner(s) are encased within
the seat belt retractor and to the seat belt
anchor affixed to the floor of the vehicle.
These seat belts are used the same way as
conventional seat belts. When pretension-
er(s) activate, smoke is released and a loud
noise may be heard. This smoke is not harm-
ful 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. After the pretensioner(s)'s activa-
tion, load limiters allow the seat belt to re-
lease webbing (if necessary) to reduce forces
against the chest. The supplemental air bag
warning light is used to indicate malfunctions
in the pretensioner system. For additional in-
formation, refer to Supplemental air bag warning light in this section. If the operation
of the supplemental air bag warning light
indicates there is a malfunction, have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service. When
selling your vehicle, we request that you in-
form the buyer about the pretensioner sys-
tem and guide the buyer to the appropriate
sections in this Owner's Manual.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LABELS
Warning labels about the supplemental front
impact air bag system are placed in the ve-
hicle as shown in the illustration.
WARNING
Do not use a rear-facing child restraint on a

playingin the instrument panel, moni-
tors the circuits for the air bag systems, pre-
tensioner(s) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The air bag warning light will
turn off within a few seconds after the engine
is started, if the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and
pretensioner systems need servicing:
•The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 seconds.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag, knee air bag or
pretensioner systems may not operate
properly. They must be checked and re-
paired. It is recommended that 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, knee 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 recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags, knee air bags and pretensioner(s) are
designed to inflate on a one-time-only basis.
As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the
supplemental air bag warning light remains
illuminated after inflation has occurred. These systems should be repaired and/or re-
placed as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, cur-
tain air bags, knee air bags, pretensioner(s)
and related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The ig-
nition 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, knee
air bag, or curtain air bag has inflated,
the air bag module will not function
again and must be replaced. Addition-
ally, the activated pretensioner(s) must
also be replaced. The air bag module and
pretensioner(s) should be replaced. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. However, the air
bag module and pretensioner(s) cannot
be repaired.
