2020 INFINITI Consumer Safety & Air Bag Information Guide 2
THE INFINITI ADVANCED AIR BAG SYSTEM
All 2020 INFINITI vehicles are equipped with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
(AABS) for the driver and front passenger seats. Typically, this system incorporates
dual-stage inflators*, and monitors information from various crash sensors, and the
occupant classification sensor.
The front passenger air bag may be automatically turned OFF under some
conditions, depending on the information provided by the occupant classification
sensor. If the front passenger air bag is OFF, the front passenger air bag status light
will be illuminated (if the seat is unoccupied, the light will not be illuminated, but the
air bag will be OFF). See your vehicle owner’s manual for additional information on
the operation of the front passenger air bag.
The front passenger air bag status light does not indicate a malfunction of the front
passenger air bag. If the front passenger air bag status light is illuminated while an
adult occupies the seat, the occupant may need to shift his or her seating position
so the system can turn ON the front passenger air bag and turn OFF the status light.
See your owner’s manual for proper seating positions.
Remember, all air bags are supplemental restraint systems. You must properly use
seat belts and child restraints; as explained in the vehicle owner’s manual and your
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF AN AIR BAG: YOU’RE SEAT BELT
Your chances of surviving a collision will improve greatly if one simple piece of
advice is followed: always wear your seat belt. Do not count on just the air bags for
occupant protection; they are merely a supplemental restraint system.
Seat belts help to protect the occupants of your vehicle during collisions in which the
air bags are not designed to activate. In addition, in situations where the air bags
are activated, seat belts enhance their effectiveness and can help reduce the risk
of injury from an inflating air bag. Seat belts will also help protect the occupants of
your vehicle during multiple-impact collisions, while the air bags work only one time if
a collision is severe enough to activate them. Please see the SEAT BELT SAFETY and
CHILD SAFETY sections of this guide and the vehicle owner’s manual for more
information.
*Dual-stage inflators vary the inflation rate based on the severity of the collision (for example,
less forceful inflation for moderate impacts and a higher inflation force for more severe
impacts). In addition, based on
information from the seat belt buckle sensors that detect
whether the seat belts are fastened, the
deployment of the front air bags is adjusted. Based
on the crash severity and whether or not the front occupants are belted or unbelted only one
front air bag may inflate in a crash.
