1-16Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
WARNING
.After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure it is securely fixed in
position.
. The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
best for you. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it
is not possible to properly fit the lap-
shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender that
is compatible with the installed seat belts is
available that can be purchased. The ex-
tender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm) of
length and may be used for either the driver
or front passenger seating position. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for assistance with purchasing an extender if
an extender is required.
WARNING
.It is recommended that only INFINITI
seat belt extenders, made by the
same company which made the origi-
nal equipment seat belts, be used
with the INFINITI seat belts.
. Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use could
result in serious personal injury in the
event of an accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution re-
commended for cleaning upholstery or
carpets. 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 da-
mage on the webbing is found, the entire
seat belt assembly should be replaced.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags and pretensioners are designed to
activate on a one-time-only basis. As a
reminder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag warning light will remain
illuminated after inflation has occurred.
These systems should be repaired and/or
replaced as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags,
curtain air bags, pretensioners and related
parts should be pointed out to the person
conducting the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the LOCK
position when working under the hood or
inside the vehicle.
WARNING
.Once a front air bag, side air bag, or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner must also
be replaced. The air bag module and
pretensioner should be replaced. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. However, the
air bag module and pretensioner
system cannot be repaired.
. The front air bag, side air bag, curtain
air bag and the pretensioner system
should be inspected if there is any
damage to the front end or side
portion of the vehicle. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
. If you need to dispose of the supple-
mental air bag or pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, it is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer. Correct
supplemental air bag and seat belt
pretensioner system disposal proce-
dures are set forth in the appropriate
INFINITI Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause per-
sonal injury.
