Other supplemental front-impact 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 in-
jury if the front air bags inflate.
∙ Immediately after inflation, several front air bag system components will be hot.
Do not touch them; you may severely
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 steer-
ing wheel and the instrument panel as-
sembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the instru-
ment panel or by installing additional
trim material around the air bag system.
∙ Removing or modifying the front passen- ger 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 per-
sonal injury. For example, do not change
the front seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing additional
trim material, such as seat covers, on the
seat that are not specifically designed to
assure proper air bag operation. Addi-
tionally, do not stow any objects under
the front passenger seat or the seat cush-
ion and seatback. Such objects may inter-
fere with the proper operation of the oc-
cupant classification sensor (weight
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 serious personal
injury.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displaying
in the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits for the air bag systems,
pretensioner(s) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then
turns OFF. This means the system is opera-
tional. If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and
pretensioner 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.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side
air bag, curtain air bag or pretensioner sys-
tems may not operate properly. They must be
checked and repaired. 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, 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 and pretensioner(s) are designed to in-
flate 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 replaced as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended 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, pretensioner(s) and related
parts should be pointed out to the person
performing the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the LOCK position
when working under the hood or inside the
vehicle.

Autolight system
The autolight system allows the headlights to
turn on and off automatically. The autolight
system can:∙ Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail, license plate and instrument panel lights
automatically when it is dark.
∙ Turn off all the lights (except Daytime Running Lights) when it is light.
∙ Keep all the lights on for a period of time after you place the ignition switch in the
OFF position and all doors are closed. NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the time
delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position
1.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and a door is opened and left
open, the headlights remain on for a period of
time. If another door is opened while the
headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition. Be sure you do not put anything on top of the
autolight sensor located in the top side
1of
the instrument panel. The autolight sensor
controls the autolight; if it is covered, the
autolight sensor reacts as if it is dark out and
the headlights will illuminate. If this occurs
while parked with the engine off and the ig-
nition switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle’s battery could become discharged.
