2017 INFINITI QX30 child seat

WARNING
•Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System, never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An inflating front air
bag could seriously injure or kill your child.
For additional information, refer toChild
restraintsin the1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system
section.
•Children may be severely injured or killed
when the front air bags, side air bags or
curtain air bags inflate if they are not prop-
erly restrained. Pre-teens and children
should be properly restrained in the rear
seat, if possible.
WARNING
•Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags:
•The side air bags and curtain air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a frontal
impact, rear impact, or lower severity side
collision. Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.

WARNING
•The seat belts, the side air bags and curtain
air bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor. The side air bag
and curtain air bag inflate with great force.
Do not allow anyone to place their hand, leg
or face near the side air bag on the side of
the seatback of the front seat or near the
side roof rails. Do not allow anyone sitting
in the front seats or rear outboard seats to
extend their hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of danger-
ous riding positions are shown in the previ-
ous illustrations.
•When sitting in the rear seats, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seats. If side
air bags and curtain air bags inflate, you
may be seriously injured. Be especially
careful with children, who should always be
properly restrained. Some examples of dan-
gerous riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
•Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with the side air
bag inflation.SSS0162Z

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passenger’s
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System, please ob-
serve the following items:
•If a forward-facing child restraint is in-
stalled in the front passenger seat, do not
position the front passenger seat so the
child restraint contacts the instrument
panel. If the child restraint does contact the
instrument panel, the system may deter-
mine the seat is occupied and the passen-
ger air bag may deploy in a collision. For
additional information about installing and
using child restraints, refer toChild
restraintsin the1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system
section.
•Confirm the operating condition with the
front passenger air bag status light.

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.

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 (seeSupplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) air bag warning light
earlier in this section). When the front passen-
ger seat is occupied, always pay attention to
the and AIRBAG OFF> indicator lamps. Be aware of the
status of the front-passenger front air bag both
before and during the journey.
If the indicator lamp
remains off and/or the ON> indicator lamp lights up, do not install a
rearward-facing child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat. For further information
seeTroubleshootinglater in this section.
Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically 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 seatoccupants, such as children, by requiring the
air bag to be automatically turned OFF. Certain
sensors are used to meet the requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this ve-
hicle is a pressure sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the seat by
weight. For example, if a child is in the front
passenger seat, the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System is designed to turn the front passenger
air bag OFF in accordance with the regulations.
Also, if a child restraint of the type specified in
the regulations is on the seat, its weight and
the child’s weight can be detected and cause
the air bag to turn OFF. 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
effective protection by the seat belt and supple-
mental air bag. INFINITI recommends that pre-
teens and children be properly restrained in a
rear seat. INFINITI also recommends that appro-
priate child restraints and booster seats beproperly 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 passenger air bag inflating in
a crash instead of being OFF. For additional
information about proper use and installation,
refer toChild restraintsin the1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
systemsection.
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 de-
tected 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 deacti-
vation system detects that:
•The front-passenger seat is unoccupied, the
indicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and re-
mains lit. This indicates that the front pas-
senger front air bag is disabled.
•The front-passenger seat is occupied by a
child in a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem, the indicator
lamp lights up after the system self test and
remains lit. This indicates that the front-
passenger front air bag is disabled.
If the indicator
lamp remains off and/or the BAG ON> indicator lamp lights up, do not
install a rearward facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat. For further
information seeTroubleshootinglater in
this section.
•The front-passenger seat is occupied by a
child in a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem, either the or
indicator lamp
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. SeeChild restraintsearlier 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 BAG ON> or indi-
cator lamp lights up and remains lit after the
system self test depending on the result of
the classification.
– If the indicator
lamp lights up, move the front-passenger
seat as far back as possible. Alternatively,
a person with a small build can sit on a
rear seat.
– If the indicator
lamp 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 ON> indicator lamp lights up after the system
self-test and remains lit. This indicates that
the front-passenger front air bag is enabled.If the automatic front-passenger front air bag
deactivation system is malfunctioning, the red
restraint system warning lamp in the
combination meter and the BAG OFF> indicator lamp light up simultane-
ously. The front-passenger front air bag is dis-
abled in this case and does not deploy during
an accident. Have the system checked as soon
as possible by qualified technicians. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
