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

all instructions in this manual concerning
the use of seats, seat belts and child re-
straints can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
Status light:
The front passenger air bag status light
is located in the center display. The
light operates as follows:
O Unoccupied passenger seat: The is
OFF and the front passenger air bag is
OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
O Passenger seat occupied by a small
adult, child or child restraint as out-
lined in this section: The illumi-
nates to indicate that the front pas-
senger air bag is OFF and will not in-
flate in a crash.
O Occupied passenger seat and the pas-
senger meets the conditions outlined
in this section: The light is OFF to
indicate that the front passenger air
bag is operational.
Front passenger air bag:
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is operated under some conditions as de-
scribed below in accordance with U.S.
regulations. If the front passenger air bag
is OFF, it will not inflate in a crash. The
driver air bag and other air bags in your
vehicle are not part of this system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help
reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by re-
quiring the air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. Certain sensors are used to
meet the requirements.
One sensor used is the occupant classifi-
cation sensor (pressure sensor). It is in
the bottom of the front passenger seat
cushion and is designed to detect an oc-
cupant and objects on the seat by weight.
It works together with seat belt sensors
described later. For example, if a child is
in the front passenger seat, the advanced
air bag system is designed to turn the
passenger air bag OFF in accordance with
the regulations. Also, if a child restraint of
the type specified in the regulations is on
the seat, its weight and the child's weight
can be detected and cause the air bag to
turn OFF. Occupant classification sensor
operation can vary depending on the front
passenger seat belt sensors. The front passenger seat belt sensors are
designed to detect if the seat belt is
buckled and the amount of tension on the
seat belt, such as when it is in the auto-
matic locking mode (child restraint mode).
Based on the weight on the seat detected
by the occupant classification sensor and
the belt tension detected on the seat belt,
the INFINITI advanced air bag system de-
termines whether the front passenger air
bag should be automatically turned OFF
as required by the regulations.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who
are properly seated and using the seat
belt as outlined in this manual should not
cause the passenger air bag to be auto-
matically turned OFF. For small adults it
may be turned OFF, however, if the occu-
pant takes his/her weight off the seat
cushion (for example, by not sitting up-
right, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or
by otherwise being out of position), this
could cause the sensor to turn the air bag
OFF. In addition, if the occupant improp-
erly uses the seat belt in the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode), this
could cause the air bag to be turned OFF.
Always be sure to be seated and wearing
the seat belt properly for the most effec-
tive protection by the seat belt and
supplemental air bag.

INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear
seat. INFINITI also recommends that ap-
propriate child restraints and booster
seats be properly installed in a rear seat.
If this is not possible, the occupant clas-
sification sensor and seat belt sensors
are designed to operate as described
above to turn the front passenger air bag
OFF for specified child restraints as re-
quired by the regulations. Failing to prop-
erly secure child restrains and to use the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) may allow the restraint to tip or
move in an accident or sudden stop. This
can also result in the passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF.
See ªChild restraintsº earlier in this sec-
tion for proper use and installation.
If the front passenger seat is not occu-
pied, the passenger air bag is designed
not to inflate in a crash. However, heavy
objects placed on the seat could result in
air bag inflation, because of the object's
weight detected by the occupant classifi-
cation sensor. Other conditions could also
result in air bag inflation, such as if a
child is standing on the seat, or if two
children are on the seat, contrary to the
instructions in this manual. Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
Using the passenger air bag status light,
you can monitor when the front pas-
senger air bag is automatically turned OFF
with the seat occupied. The light will not
illuminate when the front passenger seat
is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
passenger air bag status light is illumi-
nated (indicating that the air bag is OFF),
it could be that the person is a small
adult, or is not sitting on the seat prop-
erly or is not using the seat belt properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the
front seat, the passenger air bag status
light may or may not be illuminated, de-
pending on the size of the child and the
type of child restraint being used. If the
passenger air bag status light is not illu-
minated (indicating that the air bag might
inflate in a crash), it could be that the
child restraint or seat belt is not being
used properly. In rare cases, the pas-
senger air bag status light will not illumi-
nate even though the air bag is OFF.
If such situations happen, properly posi-
tion and restrain the occupant or child re-
straint. Otherwise reposition the occupant or child restraint in a rear seat. If you
have any questions about whether your
passenger air bag is working as designed,
your INFINITI dealer can confirm that it is
working properly by using a special tool.
The INFINITI advanced air bag system and
passenger air bag status light will take a
few seconds to register a change in the
passenger seat status. For example, if a
large adult who is sitting in the front pas-
senger seat exits the vehicle, the passen-
ger air bag status light will change from
OFF to ON for a few seconds and then to
OFF. This is normal system operation and
does not indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front pas-
senger air bag system, the supplemental
air bag warning light , located in the
meter and gauges area will blink. Have
the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is
not necessary when you need extra
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System keys.
An INFINITI dealer can duplicate it. As
many as 5 INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System keys can be used with one ve-
hicle. You should bring all registered keys
that you have to an INFINITI dealer for reg-
istration. This is because the registration
process will erase the memory of all key
codes previously registered into the
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System. After
the registration process, these compo-
nents will only recognize keys coded into
the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
during registration. Any key that is not
given to your dealer at the time of regis-
tration will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder,
to come into contact with salt water. This
could affect system function. WARNING O Always have the doors locked while driv-
ing. Along with the use of seat belts, this
provides greater safety in the event of an
accident by helping to prevent persons
from being thrown from the vehicle. This
also helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors, and
will help keep out intruders.
O Before opening any door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
O Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in se-
rious accidents.
LOCKING WITH KEY

WARNINGO Do not leave children, impaired adults, or
pets alone in your vehicle. They could ac-
cidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the ve-
hicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, tempera-
tures in a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly 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 in-
jured. Keep the car locked, with the rear

EXHAUST GAS (Carbon monoxide)
WARNINGDo not breathe exhaust gases; they contain
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
O If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows fully open, and have the vehicle in-
spected immediately.
O Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
O Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
O Keep the trunk lid closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open, follow
these precautions:
Ð Open all the windows.
Ð Set the air recirculation switch OFF
and the fan control at high to circu-
late the air.
O If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions 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, camper, or other equip-
ment is added for recreational or other
usage, follow the manufacturer's recom-
mendation to prevent carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle. (Some recre-
ational vehicle appliances such as
stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
O The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
Ð Your vehicle is raised while being ser-
viced.
Ð You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
Ð You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
Ð You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
