•The seat belt should be properly adjusted
to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the
effectiveness of the entire restraint system
and increase the chance or severity of injury
in an accident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
•Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
the belt behind your back, under your arm or
across your neck. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not falling off
your shoulder.
•Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could in-
crease the risk of internal injuries in an ac-
cident.
•Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
•Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its effective-
ness.
•Do not allow more than one person to use
the same seat belt.
•Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
•If the seat belt warning light glows continu-
ously while the ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it
may indicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
•No changes should be made to the seat belt
system. For example, do not modify the seat
belt, add material or install devices that
may change the seat belt routing or tension.
Doing so may affect the operation of the
seat belt system. Modifying or tampering
with the seat belt system may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
•Once a seat belt pretensioner has acti-
vated, they cannot be reused and must be
replaced together with the retractor. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
•All seat belt assemblies, including retrac-
tors and attaching hardware, should be in-
spected after any collision. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. INFINITI recommends that all
seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion be replaced unless the collision was
minor and the belts show no damage andcontinue to operate properly. Seat belt as-
semblies not in use during a collision
should also be inspected and replaced if
either damage or improper operation is
noted.
•All child restraints and attaching hardware
should be inspected after any collision. Al-
ways follow the restraint manufacturer’s in-
spection instructions and replacement rec-
ommendations. The child restraints should
be replaced if they are damaged.
PREGNANT WOMEN
INFINITI recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug,
and always position the lap belt as low as
possible around the hips, not the waist. Place
the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across
your chest. Never put the lap/shoulder belt over
your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons use
seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.

6. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly in
the center of the child restraint with your
knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while pulling up on the seat
belt.
7. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.8. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side while holding the child restraint
near the seat belt path. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm),
from side to side. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten
the seat belt as necessary, or put the re-
straint in another seat and test it again. You
may need to try a different child restraint.
Not all child restraints fit in all types of
vehicles.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2
through 8.10. If the child restraint is installed in the front
passenger seat, place the ignition switch in
the ON position. The front passenger air
bag status OFF light should illuminate. If
this light is not illuminated refer toFront
passenger air bag and status lightin the
1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint systemsection.Move the
child restraint to another seating position.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. After the child restraint is removed
and the seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the following systems:
•Driver and passenger supplemental front
impact air bags (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System)
•Driver and passenger supplemental knee air
bags
•Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bag
•Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bags
•Seat belts with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest
of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Driver’s and passenger’s
supplemental knee air bags
This system can help cushion the impact force
to the driver’s and passenger’s knees in certain
collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact force
to the chest and pelvis areas of the driver and
front passenger in certain side-impact colli-
sions. The side air bag is designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Window bag/roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bags
This system can help cushion the impact force
to the head of occupants in the outboard seat-
ing positions in certain side-impact or rollover
collisions. In a side impact, the curtain air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, curtain air
bags on both sides are designed to inflate and
remain inflated for a short time.
NIC2740
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-39

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near roll-
overs. As a result, certain vehicle movements
(for example, during severe off-roading) may
cause the curtain air bags to inflate.
The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front
passenger seat belts and is not a substitute for
them. Seat belts should always be correctly
worn and the occupant seated a suitable dis-
tance away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and front door finishers. For additional
information, seeSeat beltsearlier in this
section.
The supplemental air bags operate only when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON, the
air bag warning light will illuminate. The air bag
warning light will turn off within a few seconds
after the engine is started if the system is opera-
tional. SeeWarning lights, indicator lights and
audible remindersin the2. Instruments and
controlssection for further details.

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.

Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag and window
bag/roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bag
systems
The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air
bags are located in the side roof rails.All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed.The side air
bags and curtain air bags are designed to
inflate in higher severity side collisions, al-
though they may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a higher
severity impact. They are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted. They
may not inflate in certain side collisions. Cur-
tain air bags are also designed to inflate incertain types of rollover collisions or near roll-
overs. As a result, certain vehicle movements
(for example, during severe off-roading) may
cause the curtain air bags to inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain air
bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, fol-
lowed 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.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest of
the front occupants. Curtain air bags help to
cushion the impact force to the head of occu-
pants in the front and rear outboard seating
positions in all rows. They can help save lives
and reduce serious injuries. However, an inflat-
ing side air bag or curtain air bag may cause
abrasions or other injuries. Side air bags and
curtain air bags do not provide restraint to the
lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and front passenger seated upright as far
as practical away from the side air bag. Rearseat passengers should be seated as far away
as practical from the door finishers and side
roof rails. The side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate quickly in order to help protect the
occupants. Because of this, the force of the side
air bags and curtain air bags inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too
close to, or is against, these air bag modules
during inflation. The side air bag will deflate
quickly after the collision is over.
The curtain air bag will remain inflated for a
short time.
The side air bags and curtain 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 near the seatback
of the front seats. Also, do not place any
objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door finisher and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if a side air bag inflates.
