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.
●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.
