2003 INFINITI G35 wiring

ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
Supplemental front air bags, along with the
use of seat belts, helps to cushion the impact
force on the face and chest of the front occu-
pants. They can help save lives and reduce
serious injuries. However, an inflating front air
bag may cause facial abrasions or other inju-
ries. Front air bags do not provide restraint to
the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and
the driver and passenger seated upright as far
as practical away from the steering wheel or
instrument panel. The supplemental front air
bags inflates quickly in order to help protect
the front occupants. Because of this, the force
of the front air bag inflating can increase the
risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or
is against, the air bag module during inflation.
The air bag will deflate quickly after the colli-
sion is over.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, 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. WARNING O Do not place any objects on the steer-
ing wheel pad or on the instrument
panel. Also, do not place any objects
between any occupant and the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel. Such
objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the supple-
mental front air bag inflates.
O Right after inflation, several 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
the supplemental front air bag sys-
tem. This is to prevent accidental
inflation of the air bag or damage to
the air bag system.
O Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle's electrical system,
suspension system or front end
structure. This could affect proper operation of the supplemental air bag
system.
O Tampering with the supplemental
front air bag system may result in
serious personal injury. Tampering
includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel as-
sembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad, above the dash-
board, or by installing additional trim
material around the air bag system.
O Work around and on the supplemen-
tal front air bag system should be
done by an authorized INFINITI re-
tailer. Installation of electrical equip-
ment should also be done by an au-
thorized INFINITI retailer. The yellow
and orange Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) wiring and connectors
should not be modified or discon-
nected. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the air bag
system.

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

Owner's Manual.
Pre-tensioner seat belt system (For
front seats)
WARNINGO The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be
reused after activation. It must be
replaced together with the retractor
as a unit.
O If the vehicle becomes involved in a
frontal collision but the pre-tensioner
is not activated, be sure to have the
pre-tensioner system checked and, if
necessary, replaced by your INFINITI
retailer.
O No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the pre-tensioner seat belt system.
This is to prevent accidental activa-
tion of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt
operation. Tampering with the pre-
tensioner seat belt system may re- sult in serious personal injury.
O Work around and on the pre-
tensioner system should be done by
an authorized INFINITI retailer. Instal-
lation of electrical equipment should
also be done by an authorized
INFINITI retailer. Unauthorized electri-
cal test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the pre-
tensioner seat belt system.
O If you need to dispose of the pre-
tensioner or scrap the vehicle, con-
tact an authorized INFINITI retailer.
Correct pre-tensioner disposal proce-
dures are set forth in the appropriate
INFINITI Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system
activates in conjunction with the supplemental
front air bag. Working with the seat belt retrac-
tor, it helps tighten the seat belt the instant the
vehicle becomes involved in certain types of
collisions, thereby restraining seat occupants.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt's retractor. These seat belts are used the
same as conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be
heard. The smoke is not harmful, but 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.
If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, the supplemental air bag
warning light
will not come on, will flash
intermittently or will turn on for 7 seconds and
remain on after the ignition key has been
turned to the ON or START position. In this
case, the pre-tensioner seat belt may not
function properly. They must be checked and
repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest
authorized INFINITI retailer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat
belt system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner's Manual.

WARNINGO Do not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
O Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked with the
trunk closed when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon monoxide)
WARNINGDo not breathe exhaust gases; they con- tain colorless and odorless carbon mon-
oxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or death.
O If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
O Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
O Do not park the vehicle with the en-
gine running for any extended length
of time.
O Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing, otherwise exhaust gases could
be drawn into the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, follow these precau-
tions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the air recirculation switch
OFF and the fan control at 4 (high)
to circulate the air.
O If electrical wiring or other cable con- nections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer's
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
O If a special body or other equipment
is added for recreational or other us-
age, follow the manufacturer's rec-
ommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appli-
ances such as stoves, refrigerator,
heaters, etc. may also generate car-
bon monoxide.)
O The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust system.PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING

TOWING SAFETY
Trailer hitch Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and
trailer. Make sure the trailer hitch is securely
attached to the vehicle, to help avoid personal
injury or property damage due to sway caused
by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing
trucks.
CAUTIONO Do not use axle-mounted hitches.
O The hitch should not be attached to
or affect the operation of the impact-
absorbing bumper.
O Do not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, etc. to install a
trailer hitch. O To reduce the possibility of additional
damage if your vehicle is struck from
the rear, where practical, remove the
hitch and/or receiver when not in use.
After the hitch is removed, seal the
bolt holes to prevent exhaust fumes,
water or dust from entering the pas-
senger compartment.
O Regularly check that all hitch mount-
ing bolts are securely mounted.
Tire pressures O When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle
tires to the recommended cold tire pressure
indicated on the tire placard (located on the
inside of the rear left door opening (Sedan),
the driver side center pillar (Coupe).
O Trailer tire condition, size, load rating and
proper inflation pressure should be in ac-
cordance with the trailer and tire manufac-
turers' specifications.
Safety chain Always use a suitable chain between your
vehicle and the trailer. The chain should be
crossed and should be attached to the hitch, not to the vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to
leave enough slack in the chain to permit
turning corners.
Trailer lights Trailer lights should comply with federal and/or
local regulations. When wiring the vehicle for
towing, connect the stop and tail light pickup
into the vehicle electrical circuit at a point
between the sensor and stop light or light
switch.
Trailer brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking sys-
tem, make sure it conforms to federal and/or
local regulations and that it is properly in-
stalled.
WARNING Never connect a trailer brake system
directly to the vehicle brake system.
Pre-towing tips O Be certain your vehicle maintains a level
position when a loaded and/or unloaded
trailer is hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if
it has an abnormal nose-up or nose-down Technical and consumer information

IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION Unfortunately, accidents do occur. In this un-
likely event, there is some important informa-
tion you should know. Many insurance compa-
nies routinely authorize the use of non-
genuine collision parts in order to cut costs,
among other reasons.
Insist on the use of Genuine Infiniti
Collision Parts! If you want your vehicle to be restored using parts made to INFINITI's original exacting
specifications Ð if you want to help it to last
and hold its resale value, the solution is
simple. Tell your insurance agent and your
repair shop to only use Genuine Infiniti
Collision Parts. INFINITI does not warrant
non-Infiniti parts, nor does Infiniti's warranty
apply to damage caused by a non-genuine
parts.
Using Genuine Infiniti Parts can help protect
your personal safety, preserve your warranty
protection and maintain the resale value of
your vehicle. And if your vehicle was leased,
using Genuine Infiniti Parts may prevent or
limit unnecessary excess wear and tear ex-
penses at the end of your lease.
INFINITI designs its hoods with crumple zones
to minimize the risk that the hood will penetrate
the windshield of your vehicle in an accident.
Non-genuine (imitation) parts may not provide
such built in safety features. Also, non-genuine
parts often show premature wear, rust and
corrosion.
Why should you take a chance? In over 40 states, the law says you must be
advised if non-genuine parts are used to repair
your vehicle. And some states/provinces have
enacted laws that restrict insurance compa-
nies from authorizing the use of non-genuineOWNER'S MANUAL/SERVICE
