PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLE-
MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information con-
cerning the following systems:
.Driver and passenger front-impact sup-
plemental air bags (INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System)
.Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
.Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag
.Seat belt 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.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system:This system can help
cushion the impact force to the chest and
pelvis area of the driver and front passenger
in certain side impact collisions. The side air
bag is designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag system:This
system can help cushion the impact force
to the head of occupants in front and rear
outboard seating positions in certain sideimpact 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.
Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate
in certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed tosupplementthe crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat
belts and arenot a substitutefor them. Seat
belts should always be correctly worn and
the occupant seated a suitable distance
away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”
(P.1-11) for instructions and precautions on
seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is 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 after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

WARNING
.The front air bags ordinarily will not
inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-
ity frontal collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the
risk or severity of injury in various
kinds of accidents.
.The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the passenger air bag status
light is lit. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-46).
.The seat belts and the front air bags
are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the
seat with both feet on the floor. The
front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the INFINITI Ad-
vanced Air Bag System, if you are
unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways or out of position in any
way, you are at greater risk of injury
or death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries from
the front air bag if you are up against
it when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far-away
as practical from the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Always use the
seat belts.

.Make sure that there is no object
placed between the seat cushion and
center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.
.Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status
light.
.Be sure that the front passenger seat
does not contact the rear seat, in-
strument panel, etc., or the head
restraint does not contact the roof.
.If you notice that the front passenger
air bag status light is not operating
as described in this section, it is
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer to check the passenger seat
Advanced Air Bag System.
.Until you have confirmed with a
retailer that your passenger seat
Advanced Air Bag System is working
properly, position the occupants in
the rear seating positions.
.Do not position the front passenger
seat so it contacts the rear seat. If the
front seat does contact the rear seat,
the air bag system may determine a
sensor malfunction has occurred and
the front passenger air bag status
light may illuminate and the supple-
mental air bag warning light mayflash.
This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is de-
signed to meet certification requirements
under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in
Canada.All of the information, cautions and
warnings in this manual 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
instrument panel above the glove box. The
front air bags are designed to inflate in
higher severity 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 frontal collisions. Vehicle damage
(or lack of it) is not always an indication of
proper front air bag operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System has
dual stage air bag inflators. The system
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seat
belt buckle switches and the occupant
classification sensors (weight sensors). In-
flator operation is based on the severity of a
collision and seat belt usage for the driver.For the front passenger, the occupant
classification sensors are also monitored.
Based on information from the sensors, 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 automatically turned OFF under
some conditions, depending on the informa-
tion provided by the occupant classification
sensors. If the front passenger air bag is
OFF, the front passenger air bag status light
will be illuminated. (See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-46) for further
details.) One front air bag inflating does not
indicate improper performance of the sys-
tem.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information
about the system. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a dis-
ability, you may also contact an INFINITI
retailer. Contact information is contained in
the front of this Owner’s Manual.
When a front 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.

Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on the
head and chest of the front occupants. They
can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, an inflating front air bag
may cause facial abrasions 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 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 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 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 after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.

Front passenger air bag and status
light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed
to automatically turn OFF under some
conditions. Read this section carefully to
learn how it operates. 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 anaccident.

Status light:
The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensors (weight sen-
sors) that turn the front passenger air bag on
or off depending on the weight applied to
the front passenger seat. The status of the
front passenger air bag (ON or OFF) is
indicated by the front passenger air bag
status light
which is located on the
instrument panel.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the front passenger air bag status
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off or remains illuminated de-
pending on the front passenger seat occu-
pied status. The light operates as follows:

restraint being used. If the front passenger
air bag status light is not illuminated (in-
dicating that the air bag might inflate in a
crash), it could be that the child restraint or
seat belt is not being used properly. Make
sure that the child restraint is installed
properly, the seat belt is used properly and
the occupant is positioned properly. If the
front passenger air bag status light is still not
illuminated, reposition the occupant or child
restraint in a rear seat.
If the front passenger air bag status light will
not illuminate even though you believe that
the child restraint, the seat belts and the
occupant are properly positioned, it is re-
commended that you take your vehicle to an
INFINITI retailer. An INFINITI retailer can
check system status by using a special tool.
However, until you have confirmed with
your retailer that your air bag is working
properly, reposition the occupant or child
restraint in a rear seat.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System and
front passenger air bag status light will take
a few seconds to register a change in the
passenger seat status. This is normal system
operation and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passen-
ger air bag system, the supplemental air bag
warning light
, located in the meter and
gauges area of the instrument panel, will beilluminated (blinking or steadily lit). Have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Normal operation:
In order for the occupant classification
sensor system to classify the front passen-
ger based on weight, please follow the
precautions and steps outlined below:
Precautions
.Make sure that there are no objects
weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg) hanging on
the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.
.Make sure that a child restraint or other
object is not pressing against the rear of
the seatback.
.Make sure that a rear passenger is not
pushing or pulling on the back of the
front passenger seat.
.Make sure that the front passenger seat
or seatback is not forced back against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
.Make sure that there is no object placed
under the front passenger seat.
.Make sure that the front passenger seat
head restraint does not contact the roof
when adjusting the front passenger seat.
Steps
1. Adjust the seat as outlined in “Seats”
(P.1-2). Sit upright, leaning against the
seatback, and centered on the seatcushion with your feet comfortably ex-
tended to the floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on your
lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in “Seat
belts” (P.1-11). Front passenger seat belt
buckle status is monitored by the occu-
pant classification sensor system, and is
used as an input to determine occupancy
status. So, it is highly recommended that
the front passenger fastens his/her seat
belt.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds
allowing the system to classify the front
passenger before the vehicle is put into
motion.
5. Ensure proper classification by checking
the front passenger air bag status light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sensor
system generally keeps the classification
locked during driving, so it is important that
you confirm that the front passenger is
properly classified prior to driving. How-
ever, the occupant classification sensor may
recalculate the weight of the occupant
under some conditions (both while driving
and when stopped), so the front passenger
seat occupant should continue to remain
seated as outlined above.
