.No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the pretensioner system. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental activa-
tion of the pretensioners. Tampering
with the pretensioner system may result
in serious personal injury.
. Work around and on the pretensioner
system should be done by an INFINITI
retailer. Installation of electrical equip-
ment should also be done by an INFINITI
retailer. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should
not be used on the pretensioner system.
. If you need to dispose of a pretensioner
or scrap the vehicle, contact an INFINITI
retailer. Correct pretensioner disposal
procedures are set forth in the appro-
priate INFINITI Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause perso-
nal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain
types of collisions. Working with the seat
belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt
when the vehicle becomes involved in
certain types of collisions, helping to
restrain front seat occupants. The pretensioner is encased with the seat
belt retractor and buckle anchor. These
seat belts are used the same way as
conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is
released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is not harmful, and it does not
indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to
inhale it as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the
chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is used to indicate malfunctions in the
pretensioner system. (See “Supplemental
air bag warning light” later in this section
for more details.) If the operation of the
supplemental air bag warning light indi-
cates there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the preten-
sioner system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-
ual.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displayingin the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits for the air bag
systems, pretensioners and all related
wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates 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 servicing:
.
The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 sec-
onds.
. 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
pretensioner 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 PROCE-
DURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain
and rollover air bags and pretensioners are
designed to activate on a one-time-only
basis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged,
the supplemental air bag warning light will
remain illuminated 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. Addition-
ally, the activated pretensioner must
also be replaced. The air bag module

and pretensioner should be replaced by
an INFINITI retailer. The air bag module
and pretensioner 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 supplemental air bag and pre-
tensioner system disposal procedures
are set forth in the appropriate INFINITI
Service Manual. Incorrect disposal pro-
cedures could cause personal injury.
