2017 INFINITI QX30 warning light

The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front pas-
senger seat belts and is not a substitute for them.
Seat belts should always be correctly worn and
the occupant seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel and
front door finishers. For additional information,
see “Seat belts” earlier in this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the air bag warning light will illu-
minate. The air bag warning light will turn
off within a few seconds after the engine is
started if the system is operational. See
“Warning lights, indicator lights and au-
dible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section for further details.
WRS0031

WARNING
●The front-air bags ordinarily will not in-
flate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal collision. Always wear the seat belts
to help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in accidents.
● The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the OFF>
indicator light is lit. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Front
passenger air bag and status light” in
the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section. ●
The seat belts and the front-impact 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 Advanced Air Bag
System, if you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways, or out of posi-
tion 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. Always properly
use the seat belts.
●
The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage then inflates the air
bags as needed. 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
(pressure sensor) that turns the front
passenger air bag OFF under some con-
ditions. This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase the
risk or severity of injury in an accident.
For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint sys-
tem” section.
● Keep hands on the outside of the steer-
ing wheel. Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could increase the
risk that they are injured when the front
air bag inflates.

INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
(front seats)
WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System,
please observe the following items:
●If a forward-facing child restraint is in-
stalled in the front passenger seat, do
not position the front passenger seat so
the child restraint contacts the instru-
ment panel. If the child restraint does
contact the instrument panel, the sys-
tem may determine the seat is occupied
and the passenger air bag may deploy
in a collision. For additional informa-
tion about installing and using child re-
straints, refer to “Child restraints” in the
“1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section.
● Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status light.
● If you notice that the front passenger air
bag status light is not operating as de-
scribed in this section, get the occupant
classification system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. ●
Until you have confirmed with a retailer
that your passenger seat occupant clas-
sification system is working properly,
position the occupants in the rear seat-
ing positions.
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.
All of the information, cautions and warn-
ings 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 dashboard
above the glove box. The front air bags are de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal colli-
sions, although they may inflate if the forces in
another type of collision are similar to those of a
higher severity frontal impact. They may not in-
flate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage
(or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper
front air bag system operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System monitors
information from the crash zone sensor, the Air
bag Control Unit (ACU) , seat belt buckle sensor
and occupant classification sensor (pressure
sensor) . Inflator operation is based on the sever- ity of a collision and seat belt usage for the driver.
For the front passenger, the occupant classifica-
tion sensor is also monitored. Based on informa-
tion from the sensor, only one front air bag may
inflate in a crash, depending on the crash severity
and whether the front occupants are belted or
unbelted. Additionally, the front passenger air
bag may be automatically turned off under some
conditions, depending on the information pro-
vided by the Occupant Classification System
Sensor. If the front passenger air bag is OFF, the

indicator
light will be illuminated. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag and status
light” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section. One
front air bag inflating does not indicate improper
performance of the system.
If a crash occurs in which the vehicle’s air bags
deploy, by design the vehicle may not restart. If
this occurs, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for repair.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information about the
system. If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, you may also
contact INFINITI. Contact information is con-
tained in the front of this Owner’s Manual.

When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise
may be heard, followed by the release of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a
fire. Care should be taken to not inhale it, as it may
cause irritation and choking. Those with a history
of a breathing condition should get fresh air
promptly.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the face and
chest of the front occupants. They can help save
lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an
inflating front air bag may cause facial abrasions
or other injuries. Front air bags do not provide
restraint to the lower body.
Even with INFINITI Advanced Air Bags, seat belts
should be correctly worn and the driver and pas-
senger seated upright as far as practical away
from the steering wheel or instrument panel. The
front air bags inflate quickly in order to help
protect the front occupants. Because of this, the
force of the front air bag inflating can increase the
risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or is
against, the front air bag module during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off a few seconds
after the engine starts if the system is op-
erational.
Front passenger air bag and status
light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. Read this section carefully to learn
how it operates. Proper use of the seat,
seat belt and child restraints is necessary
for most effective protection. Failure to
follow all instructions in this manual con-
cerning the use of seats, seat belts and
child restraints can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.

Status light
The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensor (pressure sensor)
that turns the front passenger air bag on or off
depending on the weight applied to the front
passenger seat. The indicator lights inform you
whether the front passenger front air bag is dis-
abled or enabled.
LRS2885

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.

Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag and roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag systems
The side air bags are located in the outside of the
seatback of the front seats. The curtain air bags
are located in the side roof rails.All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The
side air bags and curtain air bags are designed to
inflate in higher severity side collisions, although
they may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher severity
impact. They are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted. They may not
inflate in certain side collisions. Curtain air bags
are also designed to inflate in certain types of
rollover collisions or near rollovers. As a result,
certain vehicle movements (for example, during
severe off-roading) may cause the curtain air
bags to inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain air
bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed
by release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful
and 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 breathing con-
dition should get fresh air promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest of
the front occupants. Curtain air bags help to
cushion the impact force to the head of occu-
pants in the front and rear outboard seating po-
sitions in all rows. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating
side air bag or curtain air bag may cause abra-
sions or other injuries. Side air bags and curtain
air bags do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and front passenger seated upright as far
as practical away from the side air bag. Rear seat
passengers should be seated as far away as
practical from the door finishers and side roof
rails. The side air bags and curtain air bags inflate
quickly in order to help protect the occupants.
Because of this, the force of the side air bags and
curtain air bags inflating can increase the risk of
injury if the occupant is too close to, or is against,
these air bag modules during inflation. The side
air bag will deflate quickly after the collision is
over.
The curtain air bag will remain inflated for a short
time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags op-
erate only when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. After placing the
ignition switch in the ON position, the
supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates. The supplemental air bag warning
light will turn off a few seconds after the
engine starts if the system is operational.
LRS2889

knee air bag will deflate quickly after the collision
is over OR the knee air bag will remain inflated for
a short time.
The knee air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off a few seconds
after the engine starts if the system is op-
erational.
WARNING
●Do not place any objects between the
knee bolster and the driver’s seat. Such
objects may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if a knee air bag
inflates.
● Right after inflation, the knee air bag
system components will be hot. Do not
touch them; you may severely burn
yourself.
● No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the knee air bag system. This is to pre-
vent damage to or accidental inflation
of the knee air bag system. ●
Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system or sus-
pension system. This could affect
proper operation of the knee air bag
system.
● Tampering with the knee air bag system
may result in serious personal injury.
For example, do not change the driver
knee bolster or install additional trim
material around the knee air bag.
● It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the knee air bag. It is also recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for installation of electrical equip-
ment. The SRS wiring harnesses*
should not be modified or discon-
nected. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should
not be used on the knee air bag system.
*The SRS wiring harness or connectors
are yellow or orange for easy
identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the knee air bag system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this manual.
Seat belt with pretensioner(s)
WARNING
● The pretensioner(s) cannot be reused
after activation. They must be replaced
together with the retractor and buckle
as a unit.
● If the vehicle becomes involved in a
collision but pretensioner(s) are not ac-
tivated, be sure to have the preten-
sioner system checked and, if neces-
sary, replaced. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
● No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the pretensioner system. This is to pre-
vent damage to or accidental activation
of the pretensioner(s) . Tampering with
the pretensioner system may result in
serious personal injury.

●It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the pretensioner system. It is also rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for installation of electrical
equipment. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should
not be used on the pretensioner system.
● If you need to dispose of the preten-
sioner(s) or scrap the vehicle, it is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. Incorrect dis-
posal procedures could cause personal
injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with the
supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor,
the pretensioner(s) help tighten the seat belt
when the vehicle becomes involved in certain
types of collisions, helping to restrain front seat
and rear outboard occupants. The pretension-
er(s) are encased within the seat belt retractor
and to the seat belt anchor affixed to the floor of
the vehicle. These seat belts are used the same
way as conventional seat belts. When preten-
sioner(s) activate, smoke is released and a loud
noise may be heard. This smoke is not harmful
and 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 breathing con- dition should get fresh air promptly. After the
pretensioner(s)’s activation, load limiters allow
the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to
reduce forces against the chest. The supplemen-
tal air bag warning light is used to indicate mal-
functions in the pretensioner system. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Supplemental air bag
warning light” in this section. If the operation of
the supplemental air bag warning light indicates
there is a malfunction, have the system checked.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. When selling your vehicle,
we request that you inform the buyer about the
pretensioner system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
