impact air bag system are placed in the vehicle
as shown in the illustration.
SRS air bag
The warning labels1are located on the
surface of the sun visors.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light, dis-
playing
in the instrument panel, moni-
tors the circuits of the supplemental front-
impact air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag, roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag,
and seat belt pretensioner systems. The moni-
tored circuits include the Air bag Control Unit
(ACU), satellite sensors, crash zone sensor,
occupant classification system front air bag
modules, side air bag modules, curtain and
rollover air bag modules, pretensioners and all
related wiring. When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off.
This means the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain and rollover
air bag and pretensioner systems need servic-
ing:
●
The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on approximately 7 seconds after the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON position.
● The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
● The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side
air bags, and curtain and rollover air bags or
pretensioner systems may not operate properly.
They must be checked and repaired. Take your
vehicle to the nearest INFINITI retailer.

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.

The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after the
ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge registers
“E” (Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the dot
matrix liquid crystal display when the fuel tank
is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is conve-
nient, preferably before the gauge reaches “E”. There will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank
when the fuel gauge needle reaches “E”.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
● If the vehicle runs out of fuel, themalfunction indicator light (MIL) may come
on. Refuel as soon as possible. After a few
driving trips, the
light should turn off.
If the light remains on after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by an
INFINITI retailer.

closed after getting into the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key carried in.
When the engine is started, the indicator
needles will sweep in the speedometer and
tachometer and the ring illumination will be brightened gradually. This function can be
turned off. (See “TRIP COMPUTER” later in this
section.)
