2017 INFINITI QX30 belt

Place the ignition in the ON position. The system
carries out a self-diagnosis.
The and SENGER AIR BAG ON> indicator lights will light
up simultaneously for approximately six seconds.
The indicator lights display the status of the front
passenger front air bag:● lights up:
the front passenger front air bag is enabled.
If, in the event of an accident, all deployment
criteria are met, the front passenger front air
bag is deployed.
● lights up:
the front passenger front air bag is disabled.
It will then not be deployed in the event of an
accident.
If the status of the front passenger front air bag
changes while the vehicle is in motion, an air bag
display message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display. When the front passenger seat is
occupied, always pay attention to the SENGER AIR BAG ON> and AIR BAG OFF> indicator lights. Be aware of the
status of the front passenger front air bag both
before and during the journey.
If neither the or
the indicator lights
light up, or if either indicator light only lights up intermittently during the journey, the front passen-
ger seat may not be used for a child restraint. Use
another seating position for the child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that all child restraints be
installed in the rear seat. Preteen children should
be seated in the rear seat. For further information
see “Troubleshooting” later in this section.
Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to auto-
matically turn OFF when the vehicle is operated
under some conditions as described below in
accordance with U.S. regulations. If the front
passenger air bag is OFF, it will not inflate in a
crash. The driver air bag and other air bags in your
vehicle are not part of this system. The purpose of
the regulation is to help reduce the risk of injury or
death from an inflating air bag to certain front
passenger seat occupants, such as children, by
requiring the air bag to be automatically turned
OFF under some conditions. Certain sensors are
used to meet the requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this vehicle
is a pressure sensor. It is designed to detect an
occupant and objects on the seat by weight. For
example, if a child up to the approximate size and
weight of a one year old is properly restrained in
the front passenger seat, the INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System is designed to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF. For a properly restrainedchild who is larger than the approximate size and
weight of a one year old, the front passenger air
bag may or may not be automatically turned OFF,
depending on the size of the child and the type of
child restraint being used. After installing the
child restraint and positioning the child, place the
ignition switch in the ON position: if the SENGER AIR BAG OFF> indicator light is illu-
minated, the air bag is OFF. If the AIR BAG ON> indicator light is illuminated, the
air bag will inflate in a crash. Front passenger seat
adult occupants who are properly seated and
using the seat belt as outlined in this manual
should not cause the front passenger air bag to
be automatically turned OFF. For small adults it
may be turned OFF, however if the occupant
takes his/her weight off the seat cushion (for
example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on an
edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out of
position) , this could cause the sensor to turn the
air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and
wearing the seat belt properly for the most effec-
tive protection by the seat belt and supplemental
air bag. INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear seat.
INFINITI also recommends that appropriate child
restraints and booster seats be properly installed
in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the occupant
classification sensor is designed to operate as
described above to turn the front passenger air
bag OFF for specified child restraints as required

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.

Other supplemental front-impact air
bag precautions
WARNING
●Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel pad or on the instrument panel.
Also, do not place any objects between
any occupant and the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the front air bags inflate.
● Immediately after inflation, several
front air bag system components will be
hot. Do not touch them; you may se-
verely burn yourself.
● No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the supplemental air bag system. This is
to prevent accidental inflation of the
supplemental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
● Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, sus-
pension system or front end structure.
This could affect proper operation of
the front air bag system. ●
Tampering with the front air bag system
may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the
steering wheel and the instrument
panel assembly by placing material
over the steering wheel pad and above
the instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around the air
bag system.
● Removing or modifying the front pas-
senger seat may affect the function of
the air bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
● Modifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing mate-
rial on the seat cushion or by installing
additional trim material, such as seat
covers, on the seat that are not specifi-
cally designed to assure proper air bag
operation. Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passenger seat
or the seat cushion and seatback. Such
objects may interfere with the proper
operation of the occupant classification
sensor (pressure sensor) . ●
No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the seat belt system. This may affect the
front air bag system. Tampering with
the seat belt system may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
● It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the front air bag. It is also recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for installation of electrical equip-
ment. The Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) wiring harnesses* should
not be modified or disconnected. Unau-
thorized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on
the air bag system.
● A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified repair
facility. A cracked windshield could af-
fect the function of the supplemental air
bag system.
*The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the front air bag system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.

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.
