Other supplemental front-impact air bag
precautions
WARNING
∙ Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instrument panel.
Also, do not place any objects between
any occupant and the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and cause in-
jury if the front air bags inflate.
∙ Immediately after inflation, several front 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
supplemental air bag system. This is to
prevent accidental inflation of the
supplemental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system. ∙ Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-
sion system or front end structure. This
could affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
∙ Tampering with the front air bag system may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steer-
ing wheel and the instrument panel as-
sembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the instru-
ment panel or by installing additional
trim material around the air bag system.
∙ Removing or modifying the front passen- ger seat may affect the function of the air
bag system and result in serious personal
injury. ∙ Modifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious per-
sonal 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. Addi-
tionally, do not stow any objects under
the front passenger seat or the seat cush-
ion and seatback. Such objects may inter-
fere with the proper operation of the oc-
cupant classification sensor (weight
sensor).
∙ 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.
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-57

∙ If there is an impact to your vehicle fromany direction, your Occupant Classifica-
tion Sensor (OCS) should be checked to
verify it is still functioning correctly. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. 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 im-
proper air bag deployment resulting in in-
jury or death.
