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

O Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could increase the
risk that they are injured when the
supplemental front air bag inflates. SSS0132B

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

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.
