WARNING
•It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area inside a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
•Do not allow people to ride in any area of
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and
seat belts.
•Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
TERMS
It is important to familiarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:
•Curb Weight (actual weight of your vehicle) -
vehicle weight including: standard and op-
tional equipment, fluids, emergency tools,
and spare tire assembly. This weight does
not include passengers and cargo.
•GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb weight
plus the combined weight of passengers and
cargo.
•GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - maxi-
mum total combined weight of the unloaded
vehicle, passengers, luggage, hitch, trailer
tongue load and any other optional equip-
ment. This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.
•GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) - maximum
weight (load) limit specified for the front or
rear axle. This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.
•GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) - The
maximum total weight rating of the vehicle,
passengers, cargo, and trailer.
•Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, Total
load capacity - maximum total weight limit
specified of the load (passengers and cargo)
for the vehicle. This is the maximum com-
bined weight of occupants and cargo that
can be loaded into the vehicle. If the vehicle
is used to tow a trailer, the trailer tongue
weight must be included as part of the cargo
load. This information is located on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
•Cargo capacity - permissible weight of cargo,
the weight of total occupants weight sub-
tracted from the load limit.
VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION
Technical information10-13

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle
shown as “The combined weight of occupants
and cargo” on the Tire and Loading Information
label. Do not exceed the number of occupantsshown as “Seating Capacity” on the Tire and
Loading Information label.
To get “the combined weight of occupants and
cargo”, add the weight of all occupants, then
add the total luggage weight. Examples are
shown in the illustration.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight
of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or 640 
340 (5 x 70) = 300 kg.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.
STI0445
10-14Technical information

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, loadfrom your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that
you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for your vehicle. (See Measurement of
weights later in this section.)
Also check tires for proper inflation pressures.
See the Tire and Loading Information label.
LOADING TIPS
•The GVW must not exceed GVWR or GAWR as
specified on the F.M.V. S.S./C.M.V.S.S. cer-
tification label.
•Do not load the front and rear axle to the
GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.
WARNING
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
•Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the GVWR or the maximum front and rear
GAWRs. If you do, parts of your vehicle can
break, tire damage could occur, or it can
change the way your vehicle handles. This
could result in loss of control and cause
personal injury.
•Overloading could not only shorten the life
of your vehicle and the tires, but also could
cause unsafe vehicle handling and longer
braking distances. This may cause a prema-
ture tire failure which could result in a seri-
ous accident and personal injury. Failures
caused by overloading are not covered by
the vehicle’s warranty.
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that
could affect the balance of your vehicle. When
the vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh
the front and the rear wheels separately to
determine axle loads. Individual axle loads
should not exceed either of the gross axle
weight ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle
loads should not exceed the gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR). These ratings are given
on the vehicle certification label. If weight rat- ings are exceeded, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings.
Your vehicle was designed to be used to carry
passengers and luggage
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
Technical information10-15

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.
1indi-
cator light
2indi-
cator light
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

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.
