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

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LABELS Warning labels about the supplemental
front air bag and supplemental side air
bag systems are placed in the vehicle as
shown in the illustration. SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT The supplemental air bag warning light,
displaying in the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits of the supplemental
front air bag, supplemental side air bag
and curtain side-impact air bag and pre-
tensioner seat belt systems. The circuits
monitored by the air bag warning light are
the diagnosis sensor unit, satellite sen-
sors, crash zone sensor, front air bag
modules, side air bag modules, curtain
side-impact air bag modules, pre-
tensioner seat belts and all related wiring. When the ignition key is in the ON or
START position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates for about 7 sec-
onds and then turns off. This means the
system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur,
the supplemental front air bag, supple-
mental side air bag and curtain side-
impact air bag, and pre-tensioner seat
belt systems need servicing:
O The supplemental air bag warning
light remains on after approximately 7
seconds.
O The supplemental air bag warning
light flashes intermittently.
O The supplemental air bag warning
light does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the supplemental
front air bags, supplemental side air
bags, curtain side-impact air bag or pre-
tensioner seat belt systems may not oper-
ate properly. They must be checked and
repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest
INFINITI dealer.SSS0330 SPA1097

The air conditioning system in your
INFINITI vehicle is charged with a refriger-
ant designed with the environment in
mind. This refrigerant will not harm the
earth's ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioning system. See ªCa-
pacities and recommended fuel/
lubricantsº in the ª9. Technical and con-
sumer informationº section for air condi-
tioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
An INFINITI dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioning system.
WARNINGThe air conditioner system contains refriger-
ant under high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician with
proper equipment. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the POWER or RADIO
button to turn on the radio. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the
key should be turned to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception Your radio system is equipped with state-
of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are de-
signed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general charac-
teristics of FM, AM and satellite radio sig-
nals that can affect radio reception
quality in a moving vehicle, even when
the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a
given reception area, and do not indicate
any malfunction in your radio system. Remember that a moving vehicle is not
the ideal place to listen to a radio. Be-
cause of the movement, reception condi-
tions will constantly change. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against
ideal reception. Described below are
some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.

FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhib-
iting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off ob-
jects. Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves
away from a station transmitter, the sig-
nals will tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control counterclockwise to reduce
treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the re-
flective characteristics of FM signals, di-
rect and reflected signals reach the re-
ceiver at the same time. The signals may
cancel each other, resulting in momentary
flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION AM signals, because of their low fre-
quency, can bend around objects and
skip along the ground. In addition, the
signals can be bounced off the iono-
sphere and bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics. AM signals are
also subject to interference as they travel
from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is
passing through freeway underpasses or in areas with many tall buildings. It can
also occur for several seconds during
ionospheric turbulence even in areas
where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, elec-
trical power lines, electric signs and even
traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so
equipped) When the satellite radio is first installed
or the battery has been replaced, the sat-
ellite radio may not work properly. This is
not a malfunction. Wait more than 10 min-
utes with satellite radio ON for satellite
radio to receive all of the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available
unless optional satellite receiver and an-
tenna are installed and an XM or
SIRIUS TM
satellite radio service subscrip-
tion is active.
Satellite radio is not available in Alaska
and Hawaii.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the sat-
ellite antenna.SAA0306
