2018 INFINITI QX30 airbag disable

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.

•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.

MessagePossible causes/consequences and solutions
[Front Passenger Airbag
Disabled See Operator's
Manual] The front-passenger front air bag is disabled during the journey although an adult or person of corresponding stature is on the front
passenger seat.
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 supplemental air bag.
If additional forces are applied to the seat, the system may interpret the occupant's weight as lower than it actually is.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe area away from traffic as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Have the occupant on the front-passenger seat step out of the vehicle.
5. Make sure that the seat is unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch on the ignition.
6. Observe the indicator lights in the center console and the vehicle information display and check the
following. Seat unoccupied and ignition switched on:
- The and indicator lights must light up simultaneously for
approximately six seconds.
- The indicator lights must then light up and remain lit. If the indicator light is on, the automatic
front-passenger front air bag deactivation system has disabled the front-passenger front air bag (see "Front passenger air bag
and status light" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system" section)
- the [Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator's Manual] or [Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator's Manual]
display messages must not be shown in the vehicle information display.
7. Wait for a period of at least 60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been completed.
8. Make sure that the display messages do not appear in the vehicle information display.
If these conditions are met, the front-passenger seat can be occupied again. Whether the or
indicator light remains lit or goes out depends on how the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system classifies the
occupant.
If, after taking the steps above, you still believe the system is not operating properly, have it checked immediately. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Manual] The front-passenger front air bag is enabled during the journey although:
•A child or child restraint as specified in U.S. regulations is located on the front-passenger seat.
or
•The front-passenger seat is not occupied.
The system may detect objects or forces that are adding to the weight applied to the seat.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe area away from traffic as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.

3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Open the front-passenger door.
5. Remove the child and the child restraint system from the front passenger seat.
