PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems:∙ Driver and front passenger supplemental front-impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System)
∙ Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bag
∙ Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag
∙ Driver and passenger supplemental knee air bag
∙ Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front and rear outboard seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag system
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger in
certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side-impact collisions.
The side air bags are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in front and
rear outboard seating positions in certain
side-impact or rollover collisions. In a side
impact, the curtain air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted. In a rollover, the curtain air bags are
designed to inflate and remain inflated for a
short time.
The SRS is designed to
supplementthe 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 door finishers. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Seat belts” in
this section.
Driver and passenger supplemental knee air
bags
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the driver’s and front passenger’s
knees in certain collisions.
The SRS is designed to supplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front
passenger seat belts and is not a substitutefor 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 door finishers. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Seat belts” 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
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.

WARNING
∙ The front air bags ordinarily will not in-flate in the event of a side impact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity frontal
collision. Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
∙ The front passenger air bag will not in- flate if the passenger air bag status light
is lit. For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in this section. ∙ The seat belts and the front 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 injuries from the front air
bag if you are up against it when it in-
flates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from
the steering wheel or instrument panel.
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
(weight sensor) that turns the front pas-
senger air bag OFF under some condi-
tions. This sensor is only used in this seat.
Failure to be properly seated and wear-
ing the seat belt can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” in this
section.
∙ Keep hands on the outside of the steering wheel. Placing them inside the steering
wheel rim could increase the risk that
they are injured when the front air bag
inflates.

WARNING
∙ Never let children ride unrestrained orextend their hands or face out of the win-
dow. Do not attempt to hold them in your
lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.

WARNING
∙ Children may be severely injured or killedwhen the front air bags, side air bags or
curtain air bags inflate if they are not
properly restrained. Pre-teens and chil-
dren should be properly restrained in the
rear seat, if possible.
∙ Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing
child restraint in the front seat. An inflat-
ing front air bag could seriously injure or
kill your child. For additional information,
refer to “Child restraints” in this section.
WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags:
∙ The side air bags and curtain air bags or-dinarily will not inflate in the event of a
frontal impact, rear impact, or lower se-
verity side collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or sever-
ity of injury in various kinds of accidents.

WARNING
∙ The seat belts, the side air bags and cur-tain air bags are most effective when you
are sitting well back and upright in the
seat with both feet on the floor. The side
air bag and curtain air bag inflate with
great force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side air
bag on the side of the seatback of the
front seat or near the side roof rails. Do
not allow anyone sitting in the front
seats or rear outboard seats to extend
their hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of dan-
gerous riding positions are shown in the
previous illustrations.

WARNING
∙ When sitting in the rear seat, do not holdonto the seatback of the front seat. If the
side air bag inflates, you may be seriously
injured. Be especially careful with chil-
dren, who should always be properly re-
strained. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
∙ Do not use seat covers on the front seat- backs. They may interfere with side air
bag inflation.
