PRECAUTIONS ON
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS)
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information con-
cerning 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 supple-
mental air bags
•Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental 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 and passenger 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 collisions. The side air bag is designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
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 out-
board seating 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 roll-
over, curtain air bags on both sides are de-
signed to inflate and remain inflated for a
short time.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS)
1-38Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments (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 cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a suit-
able distance away from the steering wheel,
instrument panel and front door finishers. For
additional information, see "Seat belts" earlier
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 operational. See "Warning lights,
indicator lights and audible reminders" in the
"2. Instruments and controls" section for
further details.

WARNING
•The front-air bags ordinarily will not in-
flate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal collision. Always wear the seat belts
to help reduce the risk or severity of in-
jury in accidents.
•The front passenger air bag will not in-
flate if the OFF>
indicator light is lit. For ad-
ditional information, refer to "Front
passenger air bag and status light" in
the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system" section.
•The seat belts and the front-impact air
bags are most effective when you are sit-
ting well back and upright in the seat. The
front air bags inflate with great force.
Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System, if you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways, or out of posi-
tion 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. Always properly
use the seat belts.
•The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage then inflates the air bags
as needed. Failure to properly wear seat
belts can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
•The front passenger seat is equipped
with an occupant classification sensor
(pressure sensor) that turns the front
passenger air bag OFF under some con-
ditions. This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase the
risk or severity of injury in an accident.
For additional information, refer to
"Front passenger air bag and status
light" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system" sec-
tion.
•Keep hands on the outside of the steer-
ing wheel. Placing them inside the steer-
ing wheel rim could increase the risk that
they are injured when the front air bag
inflates.
WARNING
Never let children ride unrestrained or ex-
tend their hands or face out of the window.
Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or
arms. Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the illustrations.
1-40Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status light.
•If you notice that the front passenger air
bag status light is not operating as de-
scribed in this section. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer to check the occupant
classification 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 frontal
collisions. 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" in the "1.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system" section. One front air bag inflating does not indicate improper perfor-
mance 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.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-45

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
occupant is too close to, or is against, the
front 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 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.Front passenger air bag and status
light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. 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 con-
cerning the use of seats, seat belts and
child restraints can increase the risk or se-
verity of injury in an accident.

The and SENGER AIRBAG ON> indicator lights will
light up simultaneously for approximately six
seconds.
The indicator lights 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 dis-
abled. It will then not be deployed in the
event of an accident.
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 ve-
hicle information display. When the front
passenger seat is occupied, always pay at-
tention to the
and indicator
lights. Be aware of the status of the front
passenger front air bag both before and dur-
ing the journey.
If neither the
or the indicator
lights light up, or if either indicator light only lights up intermittently during the journey, the
front passenger seat may not be used for a
child restraint. Use another seating position
for the child restraint. INFINITI recommends
that all child restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Preteen children should be seated in the
rear seat. For further information see
"Troubleshooting" later 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
seat occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag to be automatically turned OFF
under some conditions. 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 up to the
approximate size and weight of a one year
old is properly restrained is in the front pas-senger seat, the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System is designed to turn the front passen-
ger air bag OFF. For a properly restrained
child who is larger than the approximate size
and weight of a one year old, the front pas-
senger air bag may or may not be automati-
cally turned OFF, depending on the size of
the child and the type of child restraint being
used. After installing the child restraint and
positioning the child, place the ignition switch
in the ON position: if the BAG OFF> indicator light is illuminated, the
air bag is OFF. If the ON> indicator light is illuminated, the air bag
will inflate in a crash. 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 oth-
erwise 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 supplemental air bag.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear seat.
INFINITI also recommends that appropriate
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-47

child restraints and booster seats be properly
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 to "Child restraints" in the "1.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system" section.
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, con-
trary to the instructions in this manual. Al-
ways be sure that you and all vehicle occu-
pants are seated and restrained properly.If the automatic front passenger air bag de-
activation system detects that:
•The front passenger seat is unoccupied,
the indica-
tor light lights up after the system self-test
and remains lit. This indicates that the
front passenger front air bag is disabled.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child up to the approxi-
mate size and weight of a one year old, the
indicator
light lights up after the system self-test
and remains lit. This indicates that the
front passenger front air bag is disabled.
If neither the OFF> or the
indicator lights light up, or if either indica-
tor light only lights up intermittently during
the journey, the front passenger seat may
not be used for a child restraint. Use an-
other seating position for the child re-
straint. For further information see
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child who is larger than
the approximate size and weight of a one
year old, either the BAG ON> or
indicator light lights up and remains lit af-
ter the system self-test depending on the
result of the classification. 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. See "Child restraints" earlier 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 AIRBAG ON> or OFF> indicator light lights up and remains
lit after the system self-test depending on
the result of the classification. – If the indi- cator light 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 in- dicator light is lit, a person with a
smaller build should not use the front
passenger seat.
1-48Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•The front passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or a person with a build correspond-
ing to that of an adult, the AIRBAG ON> indicator light 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 light in the
combination meter and the AIRBAG OFF> indicator light light up simul-
taneously. The front passenger front air bag
is disabled in this case and does not deploy
during an accident. Have the system checked
as soon as possible by qualified technicians. It
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
