2016 INFINITI Consumer Safety & Air Bag Information Guide 12
OTHER SPECIFICS ABOUT SIDE-IMPACT, CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT, AND CURTAIN
SIDE-IMPACT/ROLLOVER AIR BAG SYSTEMS
Do not allow anyone sitting in the front seat to extend his or her hand out the window or lean
against the door.
When sitting in the rear, do not hold onto the seatbacks of the front seats, hang anything
from the head restraint or push or pull on the seatback pocket as this may interfere with the
proper operation of the air bag systems. Be especially careful with children, who should
always be properly seated and restrained in the rear seat.
Do not allow anyone to place their hand, leg or face near the side-impact air bag modules on
the seatbacks of the front seats or near the curtain side-impact air bag modules in the roof
rails or in the front door panels.
Curtain side-impact/rollover air bags are designed to inflate not only in rollovers, but also in
certain near rollover situations. As a result, certain vehicle movements (for example, during
severe off-road driving) may cause these air bags to inflate.
See the vehicle owner's manual for other important safety information about side-impact,
curtain side-impact, and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag systems and how your vehicle is
equipped.
WHENEVER A CHILD IS IN YOUR VEHICLE
The risk of serious or fatal injury to children in automobile collisions can be reduced with a
properly installed child restraint. Before you install a child restraint in your vehicle, please
consult the vehicle owner’s manual and the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for proper
installation.
Child restraints for infants must be used in a rear-
facing direction and therefore must never be used in
the front seat. An inflating front passenger air bag
could seriously injure or kill your child. According to
statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat. INFINITI and the
federal government recommend that children 12 and
under should ride in the rear seat, properly secured in
child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts, according
to their size.
