Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments (for example, during severe off-
roading) may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.
The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front
passenger seat belts and is not a substitute
for them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a suit-
able distance away from the steering wheel,
instrument panel and front door finishers. For
additional information, see "Seat belts" earlier
in this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON,
the air bag warning light will illuminate. The
air bag warning light will turn off within a
few seconds after the engine is started if the
system is operational. See "Warning lights,
indicator lights and audible reminders" for
further details.

WARNING
•The front-air bags ordinarily will not in-
flate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal collision. Always wear the seat belts
to help reduce the risk or severity of in-
jury in accidents.
•The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the OFF>
indicator light is lit. For
additional information, refer to "Front
passenger air bag and status light".
•The seat belts and the front-impact air
bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat.
The front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System, if you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways, or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash.
You may also receive serious or fatal in-
juries from the front air bag if you are up
against it when it inflates. Always sit
back against the seatback and as far
away as practical from the steering
wheel. Always properly use the seat
belts.
•The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The
INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage then inflates the air bags
as needed. Failure to properly wear seat
belts can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
•The front passenger seat is equipped
with an occupant classification sensor
(pressure sensor) that turns the front
passenger air bag OFF under some con-
ditions. This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase the
risk or severity of injury in an accident.
For additional information, refer to
"Front passenger air bag and status
light".
•Keep hands on the outside of the steer-
ing wheel. Placing them inside the steer-
ing wheel rim could increase the risk that
they are injured when the front air bag
inflates.
WARNING
Never let children ride unrestrained or ex-
tend their hands or face out of the window.
Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or
arms. Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the illustrations.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-39

•If you notice that the front passenger
air bag status light is not operating as
described in this section. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer to check the occupant classifica-
tion system.
•Until you have confirmed with a retailer
that your passenger seat occupant clas-
sification system is working properly,
position the occupants in the rear seat-
ing positions.
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 warn-
ings 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 supple-
mental 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 frontalcollisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper front air bag
system operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seat
belt buckle sensor and occupant classifica-
tion sensor (pressure sensor). Inflator opera-
tion is based on the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage for the driver. For the front
passenger, the occupant classification sensor
is also monitored. Based on information from
the sensor, only one front air bag may inflate
in a crash, depending on the crash severity
and whether the front occupants are belted
or unbelted. Additionally, the front passenger
air bag may be automatically turned off un-
der some conditions, depending on the infor-
mation provided by the Occupation Classifi-
cation System Sensor. If the front passenger
air bag is OFF, the OFF>
indicator light will be illuminated.
For additional information, refer to "Front
passenger air bag and status light". One front
air bag inflating does not indicate improper
performance of the system.
If a crash occurs in which the vehicle's air
bags deploy, by design the vehicle may not
restart. If this occurs, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for repair.If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information about
the system. If you are considering modifica-
tion of your vehicle due to a disability, you
may also contact INFINITI. Contact informa-
tion is contained in the front of this Owner's
Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud
noise may be heard, followed by the release
of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does
not indicate a fire. Care should be taken to
not inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breathing
condition should get fresh air promptly.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on the
face and chest of the front occupants. They
can help save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating front air bag may cause
facial abrasions or other injuries. Front air
bags do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
Even with INFINITI Advanced Air Bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the driver
and passenger seated upright as far as prac-
tical away from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. The front air bags inflate quickly
in order to help protect the front occupants.
Because of this, the force of the front air bag
inflating can increase the risk of injury if the

air bag precautions
WARNING
•Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel pad or on the instrument panel.
Also, do not place any objects between
any occupant and the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the front air bags inflate.
•Immediately after inflation, several
front air bag system components will be
hot. Do not touch them; you may se-
verely burn yourself.
•No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the supplemental air bag system. This is
to prevent accidental inflation of the
supplemental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
•Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle's electrical system, suspen-
sion system or front end structure. This
could affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
•Tampering with the front air bag system
may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the
steering wheel and the instrument panel
assembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the in-
strument panel or by installing addi-
tional trim material around the air bag
system.
•Removing or modifying the front pas-
senger seat may affect the function of
the air bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
•Modifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing mate-
rial on the seat cushion or by installing
additional trim material, such as seat
covers, on the seat that are not specifi-
cally designed to assure proper air bag
operation. Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passenger seat
or the seat cushion and seatback. Such
objects may interfere with the proper
operation of the occupant classification
sensor (pressure sensor).
•No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the seat belt system. This may affect the
front air bag system. Tampering with
the seat belt system may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
•It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the front air bag. It is also recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
installation of electrical equipment. The
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
wiring harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the air bag
system.
•A cracked windshield should be replaced
immediately by a qualified repair facil-
ity. A cracked windshield could affect
the function of the supplemental air bag
system.
*
The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the front air bag
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner's Manual.
