SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
∙To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or car-
pet. Then wipe with a cloth and allow the
seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not
allow the seat belts to retract until they
are completely dry.
∙ If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide
of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts
may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder
belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
∙ Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components, such as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible
wires and anchors, work properly. If loose
parts, deterioration, cuts or other dam-
age on the webbing is found, the entire
seat belt assembly should be replaced.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use and installation
of child restraints could result in serious
injury or death of a child or other passen-
gers in a sudden stop or collision:
– The child restraint must be used and installed properly. Always follow all of
the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for installation and use.

Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags and pretensioner(s) are designed to in-
flate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the supplemental air
bag warning light remains illuminated after
inflation has occurred. These systems should
be repaired and/or replaced as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, cur-
tain air bags, pretensioner(s) and related
parts should be pointed out to the person
performing the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be placed in the LOCK
position when working under the hood or
inside the vehicle.
WARNING
∙ Once a front air bag, side air bag, or cur-tain air bag has inflated, the air bag mod-
ule will not function again and must be
replaced. Additionally, the activated pre-
tensioner(s) must also be replaced. The
air bag module and pretensioner(s)
should be replaced. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. However, the air bag module and
pretensioner(s) cannot be repaired.
∙ The front air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag systems and the pretensioner sys-
tem should be inspected if there is any
damage to the front end or side portion
of the vehicle. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ If you need to dispose of a supplemental air bag or pretensioner system or scrap
the vehicle, it is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer. Incorrect dis-
posal procedures could cause personal
injury. ∙ If there is an impact to your vehicle from
any direction, your occupant classifica-
tion sensor should be checked to verify it
is still functioning correctly. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. The occupant clas-
sification sensor (weight sensor) should
be checked even if no air bags deploy as a
result of the impact. Failure to verify
proper occupant classification sensor
(weight sensor) function may result in an
improper air bag deployment resulting in
injury or death.

If any light fails to come on or operate in a
way other than described, it may indicate a
burned-out bulb and/or a system malfunc-
tion. Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
Some indicators and warnings are also dis-
played in the vehicle information display be-
tween the speedometer and tachometer. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display” in this section.
WARNING LIGHTS
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section.
Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the ABS warning light illuminates and
then turns off. This indicates the ABS is op-
erational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock as-
sistance. For additional information, refer to
“Brake system” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.
Brake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on when the parking
brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake fluid
level. If the light comes on while the engine is
running with the parking brake not applied,
stop the vehicle and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Brake fluid” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion of this manual. 2. If the brake fluid level is correct, it is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer.
WARNING
∙ Your brake system may not be workingproperly if the warning light is on. Driving
could be dangerous. If you judge it to be
safe, drive carefully to the nearest ser-
vice station for repairs. Otherwise, have
your vehicle towed because driving it
could be dangerous.
∙ Pressing the brake pedal with the engine stopped and/or a low brake fluid level
may increase your stopping distance and
braking will require greater pedal effort
as well as pedal travel.
∙ If the brake fluid level is below the MINI- MUM or MIN mark on the brake fluid
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.

For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” and “In case of emer-
gency” sections of this manual.
TPMS malfunction
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. The
“Tyre Pressure Low - Add Air” warning does
not appear if the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunc-
tion.
For additional information, refer to “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section and “Tire pres-
sure” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section of this manual.WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affect elec-tric medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.
∙ If the light does not illuminate with the ignition switch placed in the ON position,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer as soon as possible for this service.
∙ If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and stop
the vehicle as soon as possible. Driving
with under-inflated tires may perma-
nently damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pres-
sure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the tire placard label
located in the driver’s door opening to
turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If you have a flat tire, re-
place it with a spare tire as soon as pos-
sible. If no tire is flat and all tires are
properly inflated, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for these services.
∙ Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
∙ The TPMS is not a substitute for theregular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
∙ If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 25 km/h (16 mph), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
