killed.
. Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
. Do not fold down the rear seats when
occupants are in the rear seat area or
any cargo is on the rear seats.
. Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide signifi-
cant protection against injury in an
accident. Always replace and adjust
them properly if they have been
removed for any reason.
. If the head restraints are removed for
any reason, they should be securely
stored to prevent them from causing
injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or
an accident.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
. When folding the bench seat seat-
back down for maximum storage,
make sure the seat base is in the
latched position by rocking the seat
base. If the seat base is not properly
secured, cargo stored on top of a
folded seatback may become a pro-
jectile causing personal injury or
vehicle damage.
CAUTION
.When folding the 2nd row seat for
maximum cargo hauling, be sure that
cargo does not contact the center
console of the captain’s seat (if so
equipped) to avoid possible damage
to the console.
. When folding or returning the seat(s)
to the upright position, to avoid
injury to yourself and others:
— Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat.
— Be careful not to allow hands or feet to get caught or pinched in
the seat.

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLE-
MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information con-
cerning the following systems.
.Driver and 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
. Seat belt with pretensioner
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 and
pelvis area of the driver and front passenger
in certain side impact collisions. The supple-
mental side air bag is 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
(2nd and 3rd) 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
impacted. In a rollover, the curtain air bags
on both sides are designed to inflate. Under
both side-impact and rollover situations, the
curtain air bags will remain inflated for a
short period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to
supplement the crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat
belts and are not a substitute for them. Seat
belts should always be correctly worn and
the occupant seated a suitable distance
away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”
(P.1-17) for instructions and precautions on
seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING
.The supplemental front air bags or-
dinarily will not inflate in the event of
a side impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision. Al-
ways 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
inflate if the front passenger air bag
status light is lit or if the front
passenger seat is unoccupied. See
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P.1-59).
. 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 inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far-away
as practical from the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Always use the

1-58Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
flash.
. If a forward facing child restraint is
installed in the front passenger seat,
do not position the front passenger
seat so the child restraint contacts
the instrument panel. If the child
restraint does contact the instrument
panel, the system may determine the
seat is occupied and the passenger air
bag may deploy in a collision. Also the
front passenger air bag status light
may not illuminate. See “Child re-
straints” (P.1-30) for information
about installing and using child re-
straints.
. Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status
light.
. If you notice that the front passenger
air bag status light is not operating in
accordance with the above descrip-
tion, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer to check the pas-
senger seat advanced air bag system.
. Until you have confirmed with your
retailer that your passenger seat
advanced air bag is working properly,
position the occupants in the rear
seating 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
under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in
Canada.
All of the information, cautions and
warnings in this manual apply and must be
followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the steering
wheel. The passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag is mounted in the instrument
panel 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
frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack
of it) is not always an indication of proper
front air bag operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the Air bag
Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle sensors
and the occupant classification sensors
(weight sensors). Inflator operation is based
on the severity of a collision and seat belt
usage for the driver. For the front passenger,
the occupant classification sensors are also
monitored. Based on information from the
sensors, 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
under some conditions, depending on the
information provided by the occupant clas-
sification sensors. If the front passenger air
bag is OFF, the front passenger air bag
status light will be illuminated (if the seat is
unoccupied, the light will not be illuminated,
but the air bag will be off). (See “Front
passenger air bag and status light” (P.1-59)
for further details.) One front air bag inflat-
ing does not indicate improper performance
of the system.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a dis-
ability, you may also contact INFINITI.
Contact information 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 release of
smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does
not indicate a fire. Care should be taken not
to 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
head 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
practical away from the steering wheel or
instrument 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 occupant is too close to, or is
against, the air bag module during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a
collision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.

WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed
to automatically turn OFF under some
conditions. Read this section carefully to
learn how it operates. Proper use of the
seat, seat belt and child restraints is
necessary for most effective protection.
Failure to follow all instructions in this
manual concerning the use of seats, seat
belts and child restraints can increasethe risk or severity of injury in an
accident.
Status light:
The front passenger seat is equipped with
the occupant classification sensors (weight
sensors) that turn the front passenger air
bag on or off depending on the weight
applied to the front passenger seat. The
status of the front passenger air bag (ON or
OFF) is indicated by the front passenger air
bag status light
which is located on the
instrument panel. After the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, the front passen-
ger air bag status light on the instrument
panel illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off or illuminates depending on
the front passenger seat occupied status.
The light operates as follows:
. Unoccupied passenger seat: The
light is OFF and the front passenger air
bag is OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
. Passenger seat occupied by a small adult,
child or child restraint as outlined in this
section: The
light illuminates to
indicate that the front passenger air
bag is OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
. Occupied passenger seat and the pas-
senger meets the conditions outlined in
this section: The
light is OFF to
