WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System,
please observe the following items.
∙ Do not allow a passenger in the rear seatto push or pull on the seatback pocket.
∙ Do not place heavy loads heavier than 2.2 lbs. (1 kg) on the seatback, head
restraint/headrest or in the seatback
pocket.
∙ Make sure that there is nothing pressing against the rear of the seatback, such as a
child restraint installed in the rear seat or
an object stored on the floor.
∙ Make sure that there is no object placed under the front passenger seat.
∙ Make sure that there is no object placed between the seat cushion and the center
console or between the seat cushion and
the door. ∙ If a forward-facing child restraint is in-
stalled in the front passenger seat, do not
position the front passenger seat so the
child restraint contacts the instrument
panel. If the child restraint does contact
the instrument panel, the system may de-
termine the seat is occupied and the pas-
senger air bag may deploy in a collision.
Also the front passenger air bag status
light may not illuminate. For additional
information, refer to “Child restraints” in
this section.
∙ 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, get the occupant
classification system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
∙ Until you have confirmed with a retailer that your passenger seat occupant clas-
sification system is working properly, po-
sition 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 mal-
function has occurred and the front pas-
senger air bag status light may illuminate
and the supplemental air bag warning
light may flash.
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
warnings 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 supplemental 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 colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper front air bag
system operation.

Troubleshooting
If you think the front passenger air bag status
light is incorrect:1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the front passenger seat:
∙ Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light is functioning as intended. The front
passenger air bag is suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small adult,
then this may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the weight
sensors: ∙ Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on
the seat cushion with his/her feet com-
fortably extended to the floor.
∙ A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
∙ A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
∙ Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
∙ An object placed under the front passen- ger seat. ∙ An object placed between the seat cush-
ion and center console or between the
seat cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct
any of the above conditions. Restart the ve-
hicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status light
will remain lit for about 7 seconds initially.
If the light is still ON after this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. 2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child or child restraint occupying the front
passenger seat.
This may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
∙ Small adult or child is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and cen-
tered on the seat cushion with his/her
feet comfortably extended to the floor. ∙ The child restraint is not properly in-
stalled, as outlined in the “Child re-
straints” section of this manual.
∙ An object weighing over 2.2 lbs. (1 kg) hanging on the seat or placed in the seat-
back pocket.
∙ A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
∙ A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
∙ Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
∙ An object placed under the front passen- ger seat.
∙ An object placed between the seat cush- ion and center console.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct
any of the above conditions. Restart the ve-
hicle and wait 1 minute.

The air conditioner system in your INFINITI
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is
required when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to your
air conditioner system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Air conditioner system re-
frigerant and oil recommendations” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for servicing your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment.There are USB/iPod® charging ports located
in the 2nd row on the back of the center
console and in the 3rd row located above the
cup holders. These ports will charge compat-
ible devices.
NOTE:
The USB/iPod® charging ports will not op-
erate with the display screen or the Mobile
Entertainment System (MES) (if so
equipped). Only the USB connection port lo-
cated in the console box will operate
USB/iPod® devices.
