•If you notice that the front passenger
air bag status light is not operating as
described in this section. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer to check the occupant classifica-
tion system.
•Until you have confirmed with a retailer
that your passenger seat occupant clas-
sification system is working properly,
position the occupants in the rear seat-
ing positions.
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 un-
der U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in
Canada.
All of the information, cautions and warn-
ings in this manual still apply and must be
followed.The driver supplemental front-
impact air bag is located in the center of the
steering wheel. The front passenger supple-
mental front-impact air bag is mounted in the
dashboard 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 frontalcollisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper front air bag
system operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seat
belt buckle sensor and occupant classifica-
tion sensor (pressure sensor). Inflator opera-
tion is based on the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage for the driver. For the front
passenger, the occupant classification sensor
is also monitored. Based on information from
the sensor, 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 un-
der some conditions, depending on the infor-
mation provided by the Occupation Classifi-
cation System Sensor. If the front passenger
air bag is OFF, the OFF>
indicator light will be illuminated.
For additional information, refer to "Front
passenger air bag and status light". One front
air bag inflating does not indicate improper
performance of the system.
If a crash occurs in which the vehicle's air
bags deploy, by design the vehicle may not
restart. If this occurs, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for repair.If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information about
the system. If you are considering modifica-
tion of your vehicle due to a disability, you
may also contact INFINITI. Contact informa-
tion 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 the release
of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does
not indicate a fire. Care should be taken to
not 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
face 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 prac-
tical away from the steering wheel or instru-
ment 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
1-44Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•Right after inflation, several side air bag
and curtain air bag system components
will be hot. Do not touch them; you may
severely burn yourself.
•No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the side air bag and curtain air bag sys-
tems. This is to prevent damage to or
accidental inflation of the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems.
•Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-
sion system or side panel. This could af-
fect proper operation of the curtain air
bag systems.
•Tampering with the side air bag system
may result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front seats
by placing material near the seatbacks
or by installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side air
bag.
•It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the front air bag. It is also recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
installation of electrical equipment. The
SRS wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthorizedelectrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the side air
bag or curtain air bag systems.
Driver and passenger supplemental
knee air bags
The driver's knee air bag deploys under the
steering column, while the passenger's knee
air bag deploys under the glove box. All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The driv-
er's and passenger's knee air bags are trig-
gered together with the front air bag. The
knee 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 fron-
tal impact. They may not inflate in certain
collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper knee air bag operation.
When a knee 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 promptlyThe knee air bags help to cushion the impact
force on the knees of the driver and front
passenger. They can help reduce serious inju-
ries. However, an inflating knee air bag may
cause abrasions or other injuries. The knee air
bag provides restraint to the lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order to
help protect the occupants. Because of this,
the force of the knee air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is
too close to, or is against, this air bag module
during inflation. The knee air bag will deflate
quickly after the collision is over OR the knee
air bag will remain inflated for a short time.
The knee air bags operate only when the ig-
nition 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 af-
ter the engine starts if the system is opera-
tional.
WARNING
•Do not place any objects between the
knee bolster and the driver’s seat. Such
objects may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if a knee air bag
inflates.

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to the
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents in your vehicle.
The mechanical key can be used for all the
locks.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys. Your existing
key can be duplicated without knowing
the key number. As many as four INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys can be used
with one vehicle. You should bring all
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
that you have to the INFINITI retailer for
registration. This is because the registration
process will erase the memory of all key
codes previously registered into the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the regis-
tration process, these components will only
recognize keys coded into the INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System during registration.
Any key that is not given to the retailer at the
time of registration will no longer be able to
start your vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder,
to come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect system function.
