PREGNANT WOMEN
INFINITI recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug,
and always position the lap belt as low as
possible around the hips, not the waist, and
place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and
across your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder
belt over your abdominal area. Contact your
doctor for specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons use
seat belts, depending on the injury. Check with
your doctor for specific recommendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH
COMFORT FUNCTION (if so equipped
for front seats)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt
with a motor to help restrain front seat occu-
pants. This helps reduce the risk of injury in a
collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the
following emergency conditions:
●During emergency braking
● During sudden steering maneuvers ●
Activation of the Intelligent Brake Assist
(IBA) system. (See “INTELLIGENT BRAKE AS-
SIST (IBA) SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
● In the event of a high severity rollover colli-
sion.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active when:
● the seat belt is not fastened
● the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15 km/h)
during emergency braking
● the vehicle speed is under 19 MPH (30 km/h)
during sudden steering maneuvers or in the
event of a high severity rollover collision.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active when
the brake pedal is not depressed except when
sudden steering maneuvers occur or the Intel-
ligent Brake Assist (IBA) system activates.
The motor also retracts the seat belt when the
seat belt is fastened or unfastened. When the
seat belt is fastened, the motor tightens the
seat belt for a snug fit. When the seat belt is
unfastened, the motor retracts the seat belt. If
the seat belt is not fully retracted, the motor
retracts the seat belt when the door is opened. Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the motor cannot retract the seat belt when
the seat belt is fastened or unfastened, it may
indicate the pre-crash seat belt system has a
malfunction. Have your INFINITI retailer check
and repair the system.
When the seat belt is retracted repeatedly in a
short period of time, the motor may not be able
to retract the seat belt. After 8 minutes, the
motor reactivates and retracts the seat belt. If
the seat belt still cannot be retracted by the
motor, the pre-crash seat belt system has a
malfunction. Have your INFINITI retailer check
and repair the system.

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 supplemental 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 can
help cushion the impact force to the head of
occupants in front and rear (2nd and 3rd)
outboard seating positions in certain side im-
pact or rollover collisions. In a side impact, the
curtain and rollover air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted. 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
1-50Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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 front air bags are most
effective when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. 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 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 instrument panel. Al-
ways use the seat belts.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-51

●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
occupant classification sensors (weight sen-
sors) that turn 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.
