2020 INFINITI QX50 Rear seat

∙ No unauthorized changes should be madeto any components or wiring of the knee
air bag system. This is to prevent damage
to or accidental inflation of the knee air
bag system.
∙ Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicle’s electrical system or sus-
pension system. This could affect proper
operation of the knee air bag system.
∙ Tampering with the knee air bag system may result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the driver knee
bolster or install additional trim material
around the knee air bag.
∙ It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the knee air bag. It is also recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for in-
stallation of electrical equipment. The
SRS wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the knee air
bag system. *The SRS wiring harness or connectors are
yellow or orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the knee air bag
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this manual.
Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front
and rear outboard seats)
WARNING
∙ The pretensioner(s) cannot be reused af-
ter activation. They must be replaced to-
gether with the retractor and buckle as a
unit.
∙ If the vehicle becomes involved in a colli- sion but pretensioner(s) are not acti-
vated, be sure to have the pretensioner
system checked and, if necessary, re-
placed. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the pre-
tensioner system. This is to prevent dam-
age to or accidental activation of the pre-
tensioner(s). Tampering with the
pretensioner system may result in serious
personal injury. ∙ It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the pretensioner system. It is also recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for installation of electrical equip-
ment. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should
not be used on the pretensioner system.
∙ If you need to dispose of the pretension- er(s) or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain
types of collisions. Working with the seat belt
retractor, the pretensioner(s) help tighten the
seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved
in certain types of collisions, helping to re-
strain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner(s) are encased within the
seat belt retractor and to the seat belt anchor
affixed to the floor of the vehicle. These seat
belts are used the same way as conventional
seat belts.
When pretensioner(s) activate, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. This
smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a
fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
1-62Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

may cause irritation and choking. Those with
a history of a breathing condition should get
fresh air promptly.
After the pretensioner(s’) activation, load lim-
iters allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is used to indicate malfunctions in the preten-
sioner system. For additional information, re-
fer to "Supplemental air bag warning light" in
this section. If the operation of the supple-
mental air bag warning light indicates there is
a malfunction, have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the pretensioner
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner’s Manual.1. SRS air bag warning labels (located on

light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then
turns OFF. This means the system is opera-
tional.

If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate the electric power steering is not func-
tioning properly and may need servicing. It is
recommended that you have the electric
power steering checked by an INFINITI re-
tailer.
When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, the power
assist to the steering will cease operation but
you will still have control of the vehicle. At this
time, greater steering efforts are required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speeds. For additional
information, refer to “Power Steering” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this manual.
Rear Automatic Braking(RAB) warning light
This light comes on when the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position. It turns off after
the engine is started.
This light illuminates when the RAB system is
turned off in the vehicle information display.
If the light illuminates when the RAB system
is on, it may indicate that the system is un-
available. For additional information, refer to
“Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)” in the “Start-
ing and driving” section of this manual.
Seat belt warning light andchime
The light and chime remind you to fasten your
seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the
ignition switch is placed in the ON or START
position and remains illuminated until the
driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the same
time, the chime sounds for about 6 seconds
unless the driver’s seat belt is securely fas-
tened.
The seat belt warning light may also illumi-
nate if the front passenger’s seat belt is not
fastened when the front passenger’s seat is
occupied. For 7 seconds after the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position, the sys-
tem does not activate the warning light for
the front passenger.
The 2nd row seats may be also equipped with
a seat belt warning light.
For additional information, refer to “Seat
belts” in the “Safety—Seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section of this
manual.
Supplemental air bag
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
or START position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates for about 7 seconds
and then turns off. This means the system is
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag, and
pretensioner seat belt systems need servicing:
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 sec-
onds.
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for these services.
Unless checked and repaired, the supplemen-
tal restraint system (air bag system) and/or
the pretensioners may not function properly.
For additional information, refer to “Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS)” in the
“Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section of this manual.
