2017 INFINITI QX30 Self diagnosis

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.

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-

WARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard,
for example.
The steering and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The braking distance may increase in an emergency braking situation.
If VDC is not operational, VDC is unable to stabilize the vehicle. There is an increased danger of skidding and risk of an accident.
Carefully drive on a suitable stretch of road, making slight steering movements, at a speed above 12 MPH (20 km/h). If the display
message disappears, the functions mentioned above are available again.
If the display message continues to be displayed, drive on carefully and have the system checked. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

Instruments and controls2-31

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
