2010 INFINITI FX Owners Manual

WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on,
it could mean that the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain and rollover air bag and/or preten-
sioner systems will not operate in an accident.
To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have
your vehicle checked by a retailer as soon as
possible.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain and
rollover air bags and pretensioners are de-
signed to activate on a one-time-only basis. As
a reminder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag warning light will remain illumi-
nated after inflation has occurred. Repair and
replacement of these systems should be done
only by an INFINITI retailer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain
and rollover air bags, pretensioners and related
parts should be pointed out to the person
conducting the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the LOCK position
when working under the hood or inside the
vehicle.
WARNING
●Once a front air bag, side air bag or curtain
and rollover air bag has inflated, the air bag
module will not function again and must be
replaced. Additionally, if any of the front air
bags inflate, the activated pretensioners
must also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner should be replaced by an
INFINITI retailer. The air bag module and pre-
tensioner system cannot be repaired.
● The front air bag, side air bag, curtain and
rollover air bag and the pretensioner should
be inspected by an INFINITI retailer if there is
any damage to the front end or side portion
of the vehicle.
● If you need to dispose of a supplemental air
bag or pretensioner or scrap the vehicle,
contact an INFINITI retailer. Correct supple-
mental air bag and pretensioner system dis-
posal procedures are set forth in the appro-
priate INFINITI Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause personal
injury.
