2003 INFINITI G35 roof

WARNINGSupplemental side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag:
O The supplemental side air bag and
curtain side-impact air bag ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a frontal
impact, rear impact, rollover or lower
severity side collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk
or severity of injury in various kinds
of accidents. O The seat belts, the supplemental side
air bag and curtain side-impact air
bag are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the
seat. The side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag inflate with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side
air bag on the side of the seatback of
the front seat or near the side roof
rails. Do not allow anyone sitting in
the front seat or rear outboard seats to extend their hand out of the win-
dow or lean against the door. Some
examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the previous illus-
trations.
O When sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the supplemental side air bag
inflates, you may be seriously in-
jured. Be especially careful with chil-
dren, who should always be properly
restrained.SSS0101

O A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-
pair facility. A cracked windshield
could affect inflation of the supple-
mental air bag system.
O The SRS wiring harness connectors
are yellow and orange for easy iden-
tification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the supplemental front
air bag system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner's Manual.
Supplemental side air bag and
curtain side-impact air bag systems The supplemental side air bags are located in
the outside of the seatback of the front seats.
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bags
are located in the side roof rails. These sys-
tems are designed to meet voluntary guide-
lines to help reduce the risk of injury to out-of-
position occupants. However, all of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.
The supplemental side air bags and curtain
side-impact air bags are designed to inflate in
higher severity side collisions on the side of the vehicle impacted, although they may in-
flate if the forces in another type of collision are
similar to those of a higher severity side im-
pact. They are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted. They may not
inflate in certain side collisions. Vehicle dam-
age (or lack of it) is not always an indication of
proper supplemental side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag operation.
When the supplemental side air bag and cur-
tain side-impact air bag inflate, 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 not to
inhale it, as it may cause irritation and choking.
Those with a history of a breathing condition
should get fresh air promptly.
Supplemental side air bags, along with the use
of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force
on the chest of the front occupants. Curtain
side-impact air bags help to cushion the im-
pact force to the head of occupants in the front
and rear outboard seating positions. They can
help save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag may cause abrasions or
other injuries. Supplemental side air bags and
curtain side-impact air bags do not provide
restraint to the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and SSS0190

the driver and passenger seated upright as 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 side-
impact air bag inflate quickly in order to help
protect the front occupants. Because of this,
the force of the side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag inflating can increase the
risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or
is against, these air bag modules during infla-
tion. The side air bag and curtain side-impact
air bag will deflate quickly after the collision is
over.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the
systems are operational.
WARNINGO Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door fin-
isher and the front seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the side air bag
inflates.
O Right after inflation, several side air
bag and curtain side-impact air bag
system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
O No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
this side air bag and curtain side-
impact air bag system. This is to
prevent accidental inflation of the
side air bag and curtain side-impact
air bag or damage to the side air bag
and curtain side-impact air bag sys-
tem.
O Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle's electrical system,
suspension system or side panel.
This could affect proper operation of
the supplemental side air bag and
curtain side-impact air bag system.
O Tampering with the supplemental
system may result in serious per- sonal injury. For example, do not
change the front seat by placing ma-
terial near the seatback or by install-
ing additional trim material, such as
seat covers, around the side air bag.
O Work around and on the side air bag
and curtain side-impact air bag sys-
tem should be done by an authorized
INFINITI retailer. Installation of electri-
cal equipment should also be done
by an authorized INFINITI retailer. The
SRS wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used
on the side air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harnesses are cov-
ered with yellow insulation either just
before the harness connectors or
over the complete harness for easy
identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the side air bag and

Satellite radio antenna Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof rack blocks the
satellite radio signal. If possible, do not put
cargo over the satellite radio antenna. When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone
in your INFINITI, be sure to observe the fol-
lowing cautions, otherwise the new equipment
may adversely affect the Engine control sys-
tem and other electronic parts.
WARNING O A cellular telephone should not be
used while driving so full attention
may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of
cellular telephones while driving.
O If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recommended.
Exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation.
O If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle before doing so. CAUTION O Keep the antenna as far as possible
away from the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
O Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the Multiport Fuel
Injection harness. Do not route the
antenna wire next to any harness.
O Adjust the antenna standing-wave ra-
tio as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
O Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.
