2021 INFINITI Consumer Safety & Air Bag Information Guide 12
OTHER SPECIFICS ABOUT SIDE-IMPACT, CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT, AND CURTAIN
SIDE-IMPACT/ROLLOVER AIR BAG SYSTEMS
Do not allow anyone sitting in the front seat to extend his or her hand out the
window or lean against the door.
When sitting in the rear, do not hold onto the seatbacks of the front seats, hang
anything from the head restraint or push or pull on the seatback pocket as this
may interfere with the proper operation of the air bag systems. Be especially
careful with children, who should always be properly seated and restrained in the
rear seat.
Do not allow anyone to place their hand, leg or face near the side-impact air
bag modules on the seatbacks of the front seats or near the curtain side-impact
air bag modules in the roof rails or in the front door panels, or by the outboard
rear-seat mounted side impact air bags (if so equipped).
Curtain side-impact/rollover air bags are designed to inflate not only in rollovers,
but also in certain near rollover situations. As a result, certain vehicle movements
(for example, during severe off-road driving) may cause these air bags to inflate.
See the vehicle owner's manual for other important safety information about side-
impact, curtain side-impact, and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag systems and
how your vehicle is equipped.
WHENEVER A CHILD IS IN YOUR VEHICLE
The risk of serious or fatal injury to children in automobile collisions can be reduced
with a properly installed child restraint. Before you install a child restraint in your
vehicle, please consult the vehicle owner’s manual and the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for proper
installation.
Child restraints for infants must be used in a
rear-facing direction and therefore must never
be used in the front seat. An inflating front
passenger air bag could seriously injure or kill a
child improperly placed in the front passenger
seat. According to statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat. INFINITI and the federal
government recommend that children twelve
(12) and under should ride in the rear seat,
properly secured in child restraints, booster
seats, or seat belts, according to their size.
