WARNING
•After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and then try to move the
shoulder belt down to make sure that it
is securely fixed in position.
•The shoulder belt anchor height should
be adjusted to the position that is best
for you. Failure to do so may reduce the
effectiveness of the entire restraint sys-
tem 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 compat-
ible with the installed seat belts is available
that can be purchased. The extender adds
approximately 8 in (200 mm) of length and
may be used for either the driver or front
passenger seating position. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for as-
sistance with purchasing an extender if an
extender is required.
WARNING
•Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which made the
original equipment seat belts, should be
used with the INFINITI seat belts.
•Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an ex-
tender. Such unnecessary use could re-
sult 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 in a collision or a sud-
den stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
•To clean the seat belt webbing,apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended 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 com-
pletely 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 buck-
les, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and
anchors, work properly. If loose parts, de-
terioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-
sembly should be replaced.
1-16Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag, knee air bag or
pretensioner systems may not operate
properly. They must be checked and re-
paired. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is
on, it could mean that the front air bag, side
air bag, knee air bag, curtain air bag and/or
pretensioner systems will not operate in an
accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or
others, have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
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.
