PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger front impact supple-
mental air bags (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System), front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system, roof-mounted
curtain side-impact supplemental air bag and
seat belt with pretensioners.
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 supplemen-
tal 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 curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted. 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.

WARNING
●The supplemental front air bags ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal collision. Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
● The front passenger air bag will not inflate if
the passenger air bag status light is lit or if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
later in this section.
● The seat belts and the supplemental front air
bags are most effective when you are sitting
well back and upright in the seat with both
feet on the floor. The 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 injuries
from the supplemental front air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates. Always sit
back against the seatback and as far-away
as practical from the steering wheel or in-
strument panel. Always use the seat belts.

●The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that de-
tect if the seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors the severity
of a collision and seat belt usage then in-
flates the air bags. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
● The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensor (pattern sen-
sor) that turns the front passenger air bag
OFF under some conditions. This sensor is
only used in this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. See “Front passenger air bag and
status light” later in this section.
● Keep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel. Placing them inside the steering
wheel rim could increase the risk of injury if
the front air bag inflates.

INFINITI ADVANCED AIR BAG SYSTEM
(front seats)
This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI Ad-
vanced Air Bag System for the driver and front
passenger seats. This system is designed to
meet certification requirements under U.S. regu-
lations. 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 front-impact air bag is
located in the center of the steering wheel. The
front passenger supplemental front-impact air
bag is mounted in the instrument panel above
the glove box. The front air bags are designed
to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although they may inflate if the forces in an-
other type of collision are similar to those of a
higher severity frontal impact. They may not
inflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle dam-
age (or lack of it) is not always an indication of
proper front air bag operation.
