REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags, knee air bags and pretensioner(s) are
designed to inflate 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 re-
placed as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended 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, knee air bags, pretensioner(s)
and related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The ig-
nition 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, knee
air bag, or curtain air bag has inflated,
the air bag module will not function
again and must be replaced. Addition-
ally, the activated pretensioner(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, knee air
bag, curtain air bag systems and the
pretensioner system should be in-
spected 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 systems or scrap
the vehicle, it is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal injury.
•If there is an impact to your vehicle from
any direction, your automatic front pas-
senger air bag deactivation system
should be checked to verify it is still
functioning correctly. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. The system should be
checked even if no air bags deploy as a
result of the impact. Failure to verify
proper automatic front passenger air
bag deactivation system function may
result in an improper air bag deployment
resulting in injury or death.

drive when under the influence of alcohol or
drugs (including prescription or over the-
counter drugs which may cause drowsiness).
Always wear your seat belt as outlined in the
“Safety – Seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section of this manual, and
also instruct your passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers.In a rollover crash, an
unbelted or improperly belted person is sig-
nificantly more likely to be injured or killed
than a person properly wearing a seat belt.
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
While driving, the right side or left side wheels
may unintentionally leave the road surface. If
this occurs, maintain control of the vehicle by
following the procedure below. Please note
that this procedure is only a general guide.
The vehicle must be driven as appropriate
based on the conditions of the vehicle, road
and traffic.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Do not apply the brakes.
3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel
with both hands and try to hold a straight
course.4. When appropriate, slowly release the ac-
celerator pedal to gradually slow the ve-
hicle.
5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the
vehicle to follow the road while vehicle
speed is reduced. Do not attempt to drive
the vehicle back onto the road surface
until vehicle speed is reduced.
6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn the
steering wheel until both tires return to
the road surface. When all tires are on the
road surface, steer the vehicle to stay in
the appropriate driving lane.
If you decide that it is not safe to return
the vehicle to the road surface based on
vehicle, road or traffic conditions, gradu-
ally slow the vehicle to a stop in a safe
place off the road.
RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS
Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can
occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged
due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air
pressure loss can also be caused by driving on
under-inflated tires.
Rapid air pressure loss can affect the han-
dling and stability of the vehicle, especially at
highway speeds.Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by main-
taining the correct air pressure and visually
inspect the tires for wear and damage. For
additional information, refer to “Wheels and
tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section of this manual. If a tire rapidly loses air
pressure or “blows-out” while driving, main-
tain control of the vehicle by following the
procedure below. Please note that this pro-
cedure is only a general guide. The vehicle
must be driven as appropriate based on the
conditions of the vehicle, road and traffic.
WARNING
The following actions can increase the
chance of losing control of the vehicle if
there is a sudden loss of tire air pressure.
Losing control of the vehicle may cause a
collision and result in personal injury.
•The vehicle generally moves or pulls in
the direction of the flat tire.
•Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
•Do not rapidly release the accelerator
pedal.
•Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
Starting and driving5-9

If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the
following precautions:
•Use a water-based tire dressing. The coat-
ing on the tire dissolves more easily than
with an oil-based tire dressing.
•Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help
prevent it from entering the tire tread/
grooves (where it would be difficult to re-
move).
•Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry
towel. Make sure the tire dressing is com-
pletely removed from the tire tread/
grooves.
•Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom-
mended by tire dressing manufacturer.Occasionally remove loose dust from the in-
terior trim, plastic parts and seats using a
vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe
the vinyl and leather surfaces with a clean,
soft cloth dampened in mild soap solution,
then wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order
to maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Some
fabric protectors contain chemicals that may
stain or bleach the seat material.
Use a soft cloth dampened only with water to
clean the meter and gauge lens covers.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can dam-
age the seat or occupant classification sen-
sor. This can also affect the operation of
the air bag system and result in serious per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION
•Never use benzine, thinner or any similar
material on the interior surfaces or sur-
face damage may occur. Such damage is
not covered under the INFINITI war-
ranty.
•Small dirt particles can be abrasive
and damaging to leather surfaces and
should be removed promptly. Do not use
saddle soap, car waxes, polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents or
ammonia-based cleaners as they dam-
age the leather's natural finish.
•Never use fabric protectors unless rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
•Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may dam-
age the lens covers.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could
affect the vehicle interior. If you use an air
freshener, take the following precautions:
CLEANING INTERIOR
7-4Appearance and care

Allow the belts to dry completely in the shade
before using them. For additional informa-
tion, see "Seat belts".
WARNING
•Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in
the retractor.
•NEVER use bleach, dye or chemical sol-
vents to clean the seat belts, since these
materials may severely weaken the seat
belt webbing.
CLEANING THE SEAT TRACKS
CAUTION
Periodically clean the seat tracks to pre-
vent reduction of ability to move the seats.
Clean periodically with a high-powered
vacuum cleaner. Dirt and debris may re-
duce the ability to adjust the seat. A wet
cleansing agent may be used if necessary.
GENUINE LEATHER SEAT
COVERS
Automotive leather is typically finished with
coatings which protect the surface from the
sun's damaging rays as well as making it re-sistant to soiling. The finishes used in auto-
motive upholstery are unique; very different
to furniture, garment or shoe leathers.
Leather is extremely resilient and easy to
clean and maintain.
•Before cleaning leather upholstery,
vacuum it to remove dust.
•To clean leather, simply use a soft and
lint-free cloth dampened with lukewarm
water and mild soap. Do not soak the
leather.
•Use a gentle, circular motion. Do not run
the leather or apply extreme pressure
when cleaning.
•Wipe the leather again with another clean,
slightly damp cloth to remove soap resi-
due. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather should be cleaned whenever it be-
comes soiled. Dust and dirt may harm leather
if allowed to work into the finish.
Never use alcohol, cleaning solvents, oils,
varnishes or polishes on your leather, and
avoid using unknown products as they dam-
age the finish. Only use leather care agents
approved by INFINITI.
Steaming or ironing is not recommended as it
may damage the leather.Leather is a natural product and has natural
surface properties such as unevenness in
structure, marks caused by injury, and subtle
color differences. These are characteristics of
leather and not material faults.
Leather cleaning kit (if equipped)
Spray onto the leather cleaning cloth, then
gently wipe the surface of leather. Use a dry
towel to absorb any excess moisture.
Please refer to the instruction manual pro-
vided with the leather cleaner kit.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently
because soiling on such surfaces is much
more visible.
You can obtain the leather cleaner kit from an
INFINITI retailer.
