Other supplemental front air bag precau-
tions
WARNINGO Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel pad or on the instru-ment panel.
Also, do not place any objects between
any occupant and the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental front air bag
inflates.
O Immediately after inflation, several front
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 air bag system. This is to
prevent accidental inflation of the
supplemental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
O Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle's electrical system, suspen-
sion system or front end structure. This could affect proper operation of the
supplemental front air bag system.
O Tampering with the supplemental front
air bag system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel and the
instrument panel assembly by placing
material over the steering wheel pad and
above the instrument panel or by install-
ing additional trim material around the
air bag system.
O Modifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing mate-
rial on the seat cushion or by installing
additional trim material, such as seat
covers, on the seat. Additionally, do not
stow any objects under the front passen-
ger seat or the seat cushion and seat-
back. Such objects may interfere with
the proper operation of the occupant
classification sensor (pressure sensor). O No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
seat belt system. This may affect the
supplemental front air bag system. Tam-
pering with the seat belt system may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
O Work around and on the supplemental
front air bag system should be done by
an INFINITI dealer. Installation of elec-
trical equipment should also be done by
an INFINITI dealer. The yellow and or-
ange Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) wiring and connectors should not
be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rized electrical test equipment and prob-
ing devices should not be used on the air
bag system.
O A cracked windshield should be replaced
immediately by a qualified repair facility.
A cracked windshield could affect the
function of the supplemental air bag
system.
O The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy
identification.

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 the driver and passenger seated up-
right as far as practical away from the
supplemental side air bag. Rear seat pas-
sengers 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 inflat-
ing can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against,
these air bag modules during inflation.
The side air bag and curtain side-impact
air bag will deflate quickly after the colli-
sion is over.
The supplemental side air bags and cur-
tain side-impact 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 air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the systems are operational. WARNING O Do not place any objects near the seat-
back of the front seats. Also, do not
place any objects (an umbrella, bag,
etc.) between the front door finisher 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 the
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 system.
O Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle's electrical system, suspen-
sion 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 personal
injury. For example, do not change the
front seats by placing material near the
seatback or by installing 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 system
should be done by an INFINITI dealer. In-
stallation of electrical equipment should
also be done by an INFINITI dealer. The
SRS wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the side
air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy
identification.

system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner's Manual.
Pre-tensioner seat belt system
(front seats)
WARNINGO The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be re-
used after activation. It must be replaced
together with the retractor and buckle as
a unit.
O If the vehicle becomes involved in a fron-
tal collision but the pre-tensioner is not
activated, be sure to have the pre-
tensioner system checked and, if neces-
sary, replaced by an INFINITI dealer.
O No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
pre-tensioner seat belt system. This is to
prevent accidental activation of the pre-
tensioner seat belt or damage to the pre-
tensioner seat belt operation. Tampering
with the pre-tensioner seat belt system may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
O Work around and on the pre-tensioner
system should be done by an INFINITI
dealer. Installation of electrical equip-
ment should also be done by an INFINITI
dealer. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices 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, contact
an INFINITI dealer. Correct pre-tensioner
disposal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate INFINITI Service Manual. In-
correct disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem activates in conjunction with the front
supplemental air bag systems. Working
with the seat belt retractor, it helps
tighten the seat belt when the vehicle be-
comes involved in certain types of colli-
sions, helping to restrain front seat occu-
pants. 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 acti-
vates, smoke is released and a loud noise
may be heard. 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 his-
tory of a breathing condition should get
fresh air promptly.
If any abnormality occurs in the pre-
tensioner seat belt system, the supple-
mental air bag warning light will not
come on, will flash intermittently or will
turn on for 7 seconds and remain on after
the ignition switch 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 re-
paired. Take your vehicle to an INFINITI
dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request
that you inform the buyer about the pre-
tensioner seat belt system and guide the
buyer to the appropriate sections in this
Owner's Manual.

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
Power The power door lock system allows you to
lock or unlock all doors, trunk lid and the
fuel-filler door.
O Turning the door key cylinder to the
front of the vehicle
