seat is compatible with your child. Al-
ways follow all recommended proce-
dures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.
WARNINGO Improper use of a booster seat can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury for
both the child and other occupants of
the vehicle.
O Follow all of the booster seat manufac-
turer's instructions for installation and
use. When purchasing a booster seat, be
sure to select one which will fit your
child and vehicle. It may not be possible
to properly install some types of booster
seats in your vehicle.
O If the booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases. O Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the booster seat, but as up-
right as possible.
O After placing the child in the booster
seat and fastening the seat belt, make
sure the shoulder portion of the belt is
away from the child's face and neck and
the lap portion of the belt does not cross
the abdomen.
O Do not put the shoulder belt behind the
child or under the child's arm. If you
must install a booster seat in the front
seat, see ªBooster seat installation on
front passenger seatº later in this sec-
tion.
O When your booster seat is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in case
of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION Remember that a booster seat left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before
placing your child in the booster seat.

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information
concerning the driver and passenger front
impact supplemental air bags (INFINITI ad-
vanced air bag system), front seat side-
impact supplemental air bags, curtain air
bags and front seat pre-tensioner seat
belts.
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The INFINITI advanced air bag system can
help cushion the impact force to the head
and chest of the driver and front pas-
senger in certain frontal collisions.
Supplemental side air bag system: This
system can help cushion the impact force
to the chest area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side impact colli-
sions. The front seat side-impact supple-
mental air bags are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Supplemental curtain side-impact air bag
system: This system can help cushion the
impact force to the head of occupants in
front and rear outboard seating positions
in certain side impact collisions. The cur-
tain side-impact air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to supplement the crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and passenger
seat belts and are not a substitute for
them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a
suitable distance away from the steering
wheel, instrument panel and door fin-
ishers. (See ªSeat beltsº earlier in this
section for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
after about 7 seconds if the systems are
operational.SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

WARNINGO The supplemental front air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
side impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision. Always
wear your seat belts to help reduce the
risk or severity of injury in various kinds
of accidents.
O The front passenger air bag will not in-
flate if the passenger air bag status light is lit or if the front passenger seat is un-
occupied. See 0 Front passenger air bag
and status light 0 later in this section.
O
The seat belts and the supplemental front
air bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat.
Supplemental front air bags inflate with
great force. Even with the INFINITI ad-
vanced air bag system, if you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash.
You may also receive serious or fatal in-
juries from the supplemental front air
bag if you are up against it when it in-
flates. Always sit back against the seat
back and as far away as practical from
the steering wheel or instrument panel.
Always use the seat belts.
O The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
INFINITI advanced air bag system moni-
tors the severity of a collision and seat
belt usage then inflates the air bags.
Failure to properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury in
an accident.
O The front passenger seat is equipped
with an occupant classification sensor
(pressure sensor) that turns the front
passenger air bag OFF under some con-
ditions. This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase the
risk or severity of injury in an accident. SSS0131B

WARNINGO Never let children ride unrestrained or
extend their hands or face out of the
window. Do not attempt to hold them in
your lap or arms. Some examples of dan-
gerous riding positions are shown in the
previous illustrations.
O Children may be severely injured or
killed when the supplemental front air
bags, side air bags or curtain side-
impact air bags inflate if they are not
properly restrained. Pre-teens and chil-
dren should be properly restrained in the
rear seat, if possible.
O Even with the INFINITI advanced air bag
system, never install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat. An inflating
supplemental front air bag could seri-
ously injure or kill your child. For addi-
tional information, see ªChild re-
straintsº earlier in this section.
WARNING Supplemental side air bag and curtain side-
impact air bag:
O The supplemental side air bag and cur-
tain side-impact air bag ordinarily will
not inflate in the event of a frontal im-
pact, rear impact, rollover or lower se-
verity side collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or se-
verity of injury in various kinds of
accidents. O The seat belts, the supplemental side air
bags and curtain side-impact air bags
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 sit-
ting in the front seats or rear outboard
seats to extend their hand out of the SSS0059A

INFINITI ADVANCED AIR BAG
SYSTEM (front seats) This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI
advanced air bag system for the driver
and front passenger seats. This system is
designed to meet certification require-
ments under U.S. regulations. It is also
permitted in Canada. However, all of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental air bag is located
in the center of the steering wheel. The
front passenger supplemental air bag is
mounted in the dashboard above the
glove box. The supplemental front air
bags are designed to inflate in higher se-
verity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. They may not in-
flate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle
damage (or lack of it) is not always an in-
dication of proper supplemental air bag
operation. SSS0416

hale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air
promptly.
Supplemental front air bags, along with
the use of seat belts, help to cushion the
impact force on the face and chest of the
front occupants. They can help save lives
and reduce serious injuries. However, an
inflating front air bag may cause facial
abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags
do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
Even with INFINITI advanced air bags, 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 supple-
mental front air bags inflate quickly in or-
der to help protect the front occupants.
Because of this, the force of the front air
bag inflating can increase the risk of in-
jury if the occupant is too close to, or is
against, the air bag module during infla-
tion.
The air bag will deflate quickly after a col-
lision. The supplemental front air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
after about 7 seconds if the system is op-
erational.
Front passenger air bag and
status light
WARNING The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. Read this section carefully to learn
how it operates. Proper use of the seat, seat
belt and child restraints is necessary for
most effective protection. Failure to follow SSS0367
