by the regulations. Failing to properly secure
child restraints and to use the ALR mode may
allow the restraint to tip or move in a collision or
sudden stop. This can also result in the passen-
ger air bag inflating in a crash instead of being
OFF. For additional information about proper use
and installation, refer to “Child restraints” in the
“1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the
front passenger air bag is designed not to inflate
in a crash. However, heavy objects placed on the
seat could result in air bag inflation, because of
the object’s weight detected by the occupant
classification sensor. Other conditions could also
result in air bag inflation, such as if a child is
standing on the seat, or if two children are on the
seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
If the automatic front passenger air bag deactiva-
tion system detects that:● The front passenger seat is unoccupied, the
indicator
light lights up after the system self-test and
remains lit. This indicates that the front pas-
senger front air bag is disabled. ●
The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child up to the approxi-
mate size and weight of a one year old, the
indicator
light lights up after the system self-test and
remains lit. This indicates that the front pas-
senger front air bag is disabled.
If neither the
OFF> or the
ON> indicator lights light up, or if either
indicator light only lights up intermittently
during the journey, the front passenger seat
may not be used for a child restraint. Use
another seating position for the child re-
straint. For further information see “Trouble-
shooting” later in this section.
●
The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child who is larger than the
approximate size and weight of a one year old,
either the or
indicator
light lights up and remains lit after the system
self-test depending on the result of the clas-
sification. The result of the classification is
dependent on, among other factors, the child
restraint system and the child’s build.
Move the front passenger seat as far back as
possible. See “Child restraints” earlier in this
section. ●
The front passenger seat is occupied by a
person with a smaller build (e.g. a teenager
or small adult) , either the
AIR BAG ON> or
OFF> indicator light lights up and remains lit
after the system self-test depending on the
result of the classification.
– If the in- dicator light lights up, move the front pas-
senger seat as far back as possible. Al-
ternatively, a person with a small build can
sit on a rear seat.
– If the indicator light is lit, a person with a smaller
build should not use the front passenger
seat.
● The front passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or a person with a build corresponding
to that of an adult, the
BAG ON> indicator light lights up after the
system self-test and remains lit. This indi-
cates that the front passenger front air bag is
enabled.
If the automatic front passenger front air bag deac-
tivation system is malfunctioning, the
red
restraint system warning light in the
combination meter and the
BAG OFF> indicator light light up simultaneously.
The front passenger front air bag is disabled in this
case and does not deploy during an accident. Have
the system checked as soon as possible by quali-
fied technicians. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes/consequences and solutions
The
indicator lamp lights up and remains
lit, even though the front passenger
seat is occupied by an adult or a per-
son with a build corresponding to that
of an adult. ●
Make sure the conditions for a correct classification of the person on the front passenger seat are met (see “Front passenger air bag” earlier
in this section) .
● If the indicator light remains lit, the front passenger seat may not be used.
● Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
The
indicator lamp does not light up
and/or does not stay on. ●
Make sure there is nothing between the seat and the child restraint system.
● Make sure that the entire base of the child restraint system rests on the seat cushion of the front passenger seat.
● When installing the child restraint system, make sure that the seat belt is tight. Do not pull the seat belt tight with the front passenger seat
adjustment. This could result in the seat belt and the child restraint system being pulled too tightly.
● Check that the child restraint system is installed correctly.
● Make sure that no objects are applying additional weight to the seat.
● Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
