2018 INFINITI Q70 HYBRID warning light

1-50Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
should not be used on the preten-
sioner system.
. If you need to dispose of the preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, it is
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. Correct pre-
tensioner disposal procedures are set
forth in the appropriate INFINITI
Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal in-
jury.
The pretensioner system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain
types of collisions. Working with the seat
belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt
when the vehicle becomes involved in certain
types of collisions, helping to restrain front
seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat
belt retractor. These seat belts are used the
same way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner seat belt activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be
heard. The smoke is not harmful, and it 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.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to reduce forces against the
chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is used to indicate malfunctions in the
pretensioner system. See “Supplemental air
bag warning light” (P.1-51). If the operation
of the supplemental air bag warning light
illuminates, have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the seat belt
pretensioners and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
