2017 INFINITI QX30 engine

Driver’s and passenger’s
supplemental knee air bags
This system can help cushion the impact force
to the driver’s and passenger’s knees in certain
collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact force
to the chest and pelvis areas of the driver and
front passenger in certain side-impact colli-
sions. The side air bag is designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Window bag/roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bags
This system can help cushion the impact force
to the head of occupants in the outboard seat-
ing positions in certain side-impact or rollover
collisions. In a side impact, the curtain air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, curtain air
bags on both sides are designed to inflate and
remain inflated for a short time.
Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near roll-
overs. As a result, certain vehicle movements(for example, during severe off-roading) may
cause the curtain air bags to inflate.
The SRS is designed to
supplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front
passenger seat belts and is not a substitute for
them. Seat belts should always be correctly
worn and the occupant seated a suitable dis-
tance away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and front door finishers. For additional
information, see Seat beltsearlier 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, the
air bag warning light will illuminate. The air bag
warning light will turn off within a few seconds
after the engine is started if the system is opera-
tional. See Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders in the2. Instruments and
controls section for further details.

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 operational.
Front passenger air bag and status

WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed to au-
tomatically turn OFF under some conditions.
Read this section carefully to learn how it op-
erates. Proper use of the seat, seat belt and
child restraints is necessary for most effective
protection. Failure to follow all instructions in
this manual concerning the use of seats, seat
belts and child restraints can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an accident.

Status light
The indicator lamps inform you whether the
front-passenger front air bag is disabled or
enabled.
Turn the key to the ACC or ON position in the
ignition switch. The system carries out a self-
diagnosis.
The and AIRBAG ON> indicator lamps must light up si-
multaneously for approximately six seconds.
The indicator lamps 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
information display (see Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) air bag warning light

Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag and window
bag/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, al-
though 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. Cur-
tain air bags are also designed to inflate in certain types of rollover collisions or near roll-
overs. 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, fol-
lowed 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 condition 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
positions in all rows. They can help save lives
and reduce serious injuries. However, an inflat-
ing side air bag or curtain air bag may cause
abrasions 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. Rearseat 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 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 operational.
WARNING
•Do not place any objects near the seatback
of the front seats. Also, do not place any
objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door finisher and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if a side air bag inflates.

•Right after inflation, several side air bag
and curtain 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 side air
bag and curtain air bag systems. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental inflation of
the side air bag and curtain air bag systems.
•Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem or side panel. This could affect proper
operation of the curtain air bag systems.
•Tampering with the side air bag system may
result in serious personal injury. For ex-
ample, do not change the front seats by
placing material near the seatbacks or by
installing additional trim material, such as
seat covers, around the side air bag.
•It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for work on and around the front air
bag. It is also recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for installation of electri-
cal equipment. The SRS wiring harnesses*
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
side air bag or curtain air bag systems.
Driver and passenger supplemental
knee air bags
The driver’s knee air bag deploys under the
steering column, while the passenger’s knee air
bag deploys under the glove box. All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The driv-
er’s and passenger’s knee air bags are trig-
gered together with the front air bag. The knee
air bags are designed to inflate in higher sever-
ity frontal collisions, 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 inflate in certain colli-
sions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper knee air bag operation.
When a knee air bag inflates, 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 condition should get
fresh air promptly
The knee air bags help to cushion the impact
force on the knees of the driver and front
passenger. They can help reduce serious inju-
ries. However, an inflating knee air bag maycause abrasions or other injuries. The knee air
bag provides restraint to the lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order to help
protect the occupants. Because of this, the
force of the knee air bag inflating can increase
the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to,
or is against, this air bag module during infla-
tion. The 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 operational.
WARNING
•Do not place any objects between the knee
bolster and the driver’s seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if a knee air bag inflates.
•Right after inflation, the knee air bag sys-
tem 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

tem. For additional information, refer to Supple-
mental air bag warning light in this section. If
the operation of the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light indicates there is a malfunction, have
the system checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer 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.
