2017 INFINITI QX30 warning lights

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
The seat belt warning light reminds you to
fasten your seat belts. The light illuminates if
the engine is started, all doors are closed and
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat belt
is unfastened. It will remain illuminated until
the driver and/or front passenger fastens their
seat belt. A chime will sound once the vehicle is
in motion.
If the seat belt warning light flashes, together
with an intermittent warning tone, this means
that the driver or passenger has not fastened
their seat belt, and the speed of the vehicle is
exceeding 15 MPH (25 km/h).
For additional information, refer toWarning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders
in the2. Instruments and controlssection.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT WITH
RETRACTOR
WARNING
•Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be in the rear seats and in
an appropriate restraint.
•Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous.
The shoulder belt will not be against your
body. In an accident, you could be thrown
into it and receive neck or other serious in-
juries. You could also slide under the lap
belt and receive serious internal injuries.
•For the most effective protection when the
vehicle is in motion, the seat should be up-
right. Always sit well back and upright in the
seat with both feet on the floor and adjust
the seat belt properly.
•Do not allow children to play with the seat
belts. Most seating positions are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be seriously
injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if thevehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to
release the child. If the seat belt cannot be
unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release
the child by cutting the seat belt with a
suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to
release the seat belt.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. (SeeSeatsearlier in this
section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.NIC2743

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.

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.
Front passenger air bag and status
light
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.

tor lamp
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.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-47

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.
1-48Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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.

tance (seeBrake systemin the5. Starting and
drivingsection).
BRAKE warning light (red)
WARNING
•Your brake system may not be working prop-
erly if the warning light is on. Driving could be
dangerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive
carefully to the nearest service station for re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed be-
cause driving it could be dangerous.
•Pressing the brake pedal when the ignition
switch is not in the ON position and/or when
the brake fluid level is low may increase the
stopping distance and braking will require
greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
•If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do
not drive until the brake system has been
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light remains illuminated and turns
off when the engine is started. If the light illumi-
nates at any other time, it may indicate that the
brake system is not functioning properly. If the
BRAKE warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle
immediately and contact an INFINITI retailer.
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Low tire pressure warning
light (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the
tire pressure of all its tires.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Low tire pressure warming light illuminates
to indicate that the system is operational. The
light then tuns off within a few seconds after
the engine is started.
Low tire pressure warning
:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the warning light will illuminate. A tire
pressure warning message also appears in the
vehicle information display.
When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pressure
of all 4 tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure
