tion, the supplemental air bag warning light
illuminates. The supplemental air bag warning
light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the
system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, supplemental side
air bag and curtain side-impact air bag sys-
tems, and pre-tensioner seat belt need servic-
ing:
O The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 seconds.
O The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
O The supplemental air bag warning light
does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the supplemental front
air bags, supplemental side air bags, curtain
side-impact air bags and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt may not operate properly. They must be
checked and repaired. Take your vehicle to the
nearest authorized INFINITI retailer.
WARNINGIf the supplemental air bag warning light
is on, it could mean that the supplemen- tal front air bag, supplemental side air
bag, curtain side-impact air bag sys-
tems and/or pretensioner seat belt
will not operate in an accident.
Repair and replacement procedure The supplemental front air bags, supplemental
side air bags, curtain side-impact air bags and
pre-tensioner seat belts are designed to acti-
vate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag
warning light will remain illuminated after infla-
tion has occurred. Repair and replacement of
these systems should be done only by an
authorized INFINITI retailer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the supplemental front air bags, side
air bags, curtain side-impact air bags, related
parts and pre-tensioner seat belt should be
pointed out to the person conducting the main-
tenance. The ignition key should always be in
the LOCK position when working under the
hood or inside the vehicle. WARNING O Once the supplemental front air bag,
side air bag or curtain side-impact air
bag has inflated, the air bag module
will not function again and must be
replaced. Additionally, if any of the
supplemental front air bags inflate,
the activated pre-tensioner seat belt
must also be replaced. The air bag
module and pre-tensioner seat belt
system should be replaced by an au-
thorized INFINITI retailer. The air bag
modules and pre-tensioner seat belt
system cannot be repaired.
O The supplemental front air bag and
side air bag, curtain side-impact air
bag systems and pre-tensioner seat
belt system should be inspected by
an authorized INFINITI retailer if there
is any damage to the front end or side
portion of the vehicle.
O If you need to dispose of these
supplemental systems or scrap the
vehicle, contact an authorized
INFINITI retailer.

Fastening the seat belts 1. Adjust the seat.
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the tongue into the buckle until it
clicks.
The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling
motion will permit the belt to move, and
allow you some freedom of movement in
the seat.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully
retracted position, firmly pull the belt and re-
lease it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of the
retractor. 3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug
on the hips as shown.
4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack.
The front passenger and rear seat belts have a
cinching mechanism for child restraint installa-
tion. It is referred to as the automatic locking
mode.
When the cinching mechanism is activated the
seat belt cannot be withdrawn again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the buckle
and fully retracted. For additional information,
see ªChild restraintsº later in this section. The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child restraint installation.
During normal seat belt use by a passen-
ger, the locking mode should not be acti-
vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension.
WARNING When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that seatbacks are completely secured
in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be
injured in an accident or sudden stop.SSS0102 SSS0061
