●Do not allow more than one person to use the
same seat belt.
● Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
● If the seat belt warning light glows continu-
ously while the ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it
may indicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
● No changes should made to the seat belt
system. For example, do not modify the seat
belt, add material, or install devices that
may change the seat belt routing or tension.
Doing so may affect the operation of the seat
belt system. Modifying or tampering with
the seat belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
● Once a seat belt pretensioner has activated,
it cannot be reused and must be replaced
together with the retractor. See an INFINITI
retailer.
● Removal and installation of pretensioner
system components should be done by an
INFINITI retailer. ●
All seat belt assemblies, including retractors
and attaching hardware, should be in-
spected after any collision by an INFINITI re-
tailer. INFINITI recommends that all seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use during a col-
lision should also be inspected and replaced
if either damage or improper operation is
noted.
● All child restraints and attaching hardware
should be inspected after any collision. Al-
ways follow the restraint manufacturer’s in-
spection instructions and replacement rec-
ommendations. The child restraints should
be replaced if they are damaged.

7. If the booster seat is installed in the frontpassenger seat, push the ignition switch
to the ON position. The front passenger
air bag status light
may or may not
illuminate depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat used.
(See “Front passenger air bag and status
light” later in this section.)
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the following systems.
● Driver and passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System)
● Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bag
● Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag
● Seat belt with pretensioner
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 passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bag system: This system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest and pelvis area of
the driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The side air bag is designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag system: This system canhelp cushion the impact force to the head of
occupants in front and rear outboard seating
positions in certain side impact or rollover
collisions. In a side impact, the curtain and
rollover air bags are designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover
both curtain and rollover air bags are designed
to inflate and remain inflated for a short period
of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to
supplement the crash protection pro-
vided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel and door fin-
ishers. (See “SEAT BELTS” 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 position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, the supplemental air bag warning light illu-
minates. The supplemental air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the systems
are operational.
