•If you notice that the front passenger air bag
status light is not operating as described in
this section. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer to check the occu-
pant classification system.
•Until you have confirmed with a retailer that
your passenger seat occupant classification
system is working properly, position the oc-
cupants in the rear seating positions.
This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI Ad-
vanced Air Bag System for the driver and front
passenger seats. This system is designed to
meet certification requirements under U.S.
regulations. It is also permitted in Canada.
All of the information, cautions and warnings in
this manual still apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is
located in the center of the steering wheel. The
front passenger supplemental front-impact air
bag is mounted in the dashboard above the
glove box. The front air bags are designed to
inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, al-
though 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 frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper
front air bag system operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System monitors
information from the crash zone sensor, the Air
bag Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle sensor
and occupant classification sensor (pressure
sensor). Inflator operation is based on the
severity of a collision and seat belt usage for
the driver. For the front passenger, the occu-
pant classification sensor is also monitored.
Based on information from the sensor, only one
front air bag may inflate in a crash, depending
on the crash severity and whether the front
occupants are belted or unbelted. Additionally,
the front passenger air bag may be automati-
cally turned off under some conditions, depend-
ing on the weight detected on the passenger
seat and how the seat belt is used. If the front
passenger air bag is OFF, the front passenger
air bag status light will be illuminated (if the
seat is unoccupied, the light will not be illumi-
nated, but the air bag will be off). For additional
information, refer to
Front passenger air bag
and status light in the1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system sec-
tion. One front air bag inflating does not indi-
cate improper performance of the system.
If a crash occurs in which the vehicle’s air bags
deploy, by design the vehicle may not restart. If this occurs, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for repair.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information about the
system. If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, you may also
contact INFINITI. Contact information is con-
tained in the front of this Owner’s Manual.
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 abra-
sions 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
passenger 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

•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

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the Intel-
ligent Keys which are registered to the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System components in your
vehicle.
The mechanical key can be used for all the
locks.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. Your existing key can
be duplicated without knowing the key number.
As many as four INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System keys can be used with one vehicle. You
should bring all INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System keys that you have to the INFINITI
retailer for registration. This is because the
registration process will erase the memory of all
key codes previously registered into the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the registra-
tion process, these components will only recog-
nize keys coded into the INFINITI Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System during registration. Any key that
is not given to the retailer at the time of
registration will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder, to
come into contact with water or salt water. This
could affect system function.
