other injuries. The knee air bag provides re-
straint 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 bag operates 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 after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.
WARNING
• Do not place any objects between the
knee bolster and the driver’s or passen-
ger’s seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if
a knee air bag inflates.
•
Right after inflation, the knee air bag sys-
tem 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
knee air bag system. This is to prevent
damage to or accidental inflation of the
knee air bag system.
• Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle's electrical system or sus-
pension system. This could affect proper
operation of the knee air bag system.
• Tampering with the knee air bag system
may result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the driver or
passenger knee bolster or install addi-
tional trim material around the knee air
bag.
• It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the knee air bag. It is also recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for in-
stallation 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 knee
air bag system.
*The SRS wiring harness or connectors are
yellow or orange for easy identification. When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the knee air bag
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this manual.

gether with the retractor and buckle as a
unit.
• If the vehicle becomes involved in a colli-
sion but pretensioner(s) are not acti-
vated, be sure to have the pretensioner
system checked and, if necessary, re-
placed. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
• No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
pretensioner system. This is to prevent
damage to or accidental activation of the
pretensioner(s). Tampering with the pre-
tensioner system may result in serious
personal injury.

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, knee air
bags, curtain 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, knee
air bags, curtain 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.

the actual fuel consumption.
Changes in driving patterns or conditions can
cause the DTE value to vary. As a result, the
value displayed may differ from the actual
distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the fuel
level in the tank is getting low, prior to the fuel
gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
