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

operations, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI dealer as soon as possible.
or Anti-lock brake
warning lightWhen the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, the anti-lock brake warning
light will illuminate and then turn off. This
indicates the anti-lock brake system (ABS)
is operational.
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the anti-lock
brake system is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked by an INFINITI
dealer.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
anti-lock function of the brake will cease
operation but the ordinary brakes will
continue to operate. See ªAnti-lock brake system (ABS)º in the ª5. Starting and

O If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Se-
rious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the light
still comes on while driving after ad-
justing the tire pressure, a tire may be
flat. If you have a flat tire, replace it with
a spare tire as soon as possible.
O
When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash. Contact
your INFINITI dealer as soon as possible for
tire replacement and/or system resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS. CAUTION O The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
O If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
O Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
Low washer fluid warning

cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel-
spray and possibly a fire.
O Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can
result in a serious malfunction and pos-
sible injury. An incorrect cap could also
cause the
malfunction indicator
lamp to illuminate.
O Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can
cause an explosion of flammable liquid,
vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel containers:
Ð Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact with
the container while you are filling it.
Ð Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
O Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle. CAUTION O If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
O Tighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop-
erly may cause the
malfunction in-
dicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate. If the
lamp illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
lamp should turn off
after a few driving trips. If the
lamp
does not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI
dealer.
O For additional information, see the ªMal-
function indicator lamp (MIL)º in the ª2.
