O A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-

could affect inflation of the supple-

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

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.
