may result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the driver knee bol-
ster 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 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
knee air bag system.

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 colli-
sion but pretensioner(s) are not activated,
be sure to have the pretensioner system
checked and, if necessary, replaced. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
•No unauthorized changes should be made
to any components or wiring of the preten-
sioner system. This is to prevent damage to
or accidental activation of the pretension-
er(s). Tampering with the pretensioner sys-
tem may result in serious personal injury.
•It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for work on and around the preten-
sioner system. It is also recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for installation
of electrical equipment. Unauthorized elec-
trical test equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the pretensioner
system.
•If you need to dispose of the pretensioner(s)
or scrap the vehicle, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Incorrect disposal 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
occupants. The pretensioner(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 pretensioner(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
condition should get fresh air promptly. After
the pretensioner(s)’s activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if nec-
essary) to reduce forces against the chest. The
supplemental air bag warning light is used to

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.
