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.

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.

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.

displaying
in the instrument panel, moni-
tors the circuits for the air bag systems, preten-
sioner(s) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning light
illuminates. The air bag warning light will turn off
within a few seconds after the engine is started, if
the system is operational. If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and preten-
sioner systems need servicing:
● The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
● The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
● The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
