NOTE:
This vehicle's occupant classification sensor
system generally keeps the classification
locked during driving, so it is important that
you confirm that the front passenger is prop-
erly classified prior to driving. However, the
occupant classification sensor may recalculate
the weight of the occupant under some condi-
tions (both while driving and when stopped),
so front passenger seat occupants should con-
tinue to remain seated as outlined above.
Troubleshooting
If you think the front passenger air bag status
light is incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with an adult occupyingthe front passenger seat:
• Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light is functioning as intended. The front pas-
senger air bag and passenger knee air bag
are suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small adult,
then this may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the weight
sensors:
• Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on the
seat cushion with his/her feet comfortably
extended to the floor. • A child restraint or other object pressing
against the rear of the seatback.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
• Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger seat.
• An object placed between the seat cushion and center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct
any of the above conditions. Restart the ve-
hicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still ON after this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. 2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child
or child restraint occupying the front pas-
senger seat.
This may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
• Small adult or child is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with his/her feet com-
fortably extended to the floor.
• The child restraint is not properly installed, as outlined in the “Child Restraints”
(P. 1-22) section of this manual.
• An object weighing over 4 kg (9.1 lbs.) hanging on the seat or placed in the seat-
back pocket.
• A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
• Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger seat.
• An object placed between the seat cushion and center console.

tems (if so equipped) are engaged and have
detected a vehicle:
• Distance Control Assist (DCA)
• Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) withPedestrian Detection
• Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW)
For additional information, see “Distance
Control Assist (DCA)” (P. 5-106), “Forward
Emergency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian
Detection” (P. 5-123) or “Predictive Forward
Collision Warning (PFCW)” (P. 5-133) Your vehicle has two types of security
systems:
• Vehicle security system
• INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, liftgate or hood when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs.The system helps deter vehicle theft but can-
not prevent it nor can it prevent the theft of
interior or exterior vehicle components in all
situations. Always secure your vehicle even if
parking for a brief period. Never leave your
Intelligent Key in the vehicle, and always lock
the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of
your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit
areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification
markers, and tracking systems, are available
at auto supply stores and specialty shops. An
INFINITI retailer may also offer such equip-
ment. Check with your insurance company to
see if you may be eligible for discounts for
various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows and the moonroof (if so
equipped). (The system can be armed even
if the windows and moonroof are open.)
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.

3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock alldoors. The doors can be locked with the
Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, or power door lock switch.
4. Confirm that the
security indicator
light stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-armed.
The vehicle security system will automati-
cally shift into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every
three seconds. If during the pre-armed
phase one of the following occurs, the
system will not arm:
• Any door is unlocked with the Intelligent Key or door request switch.
• Ignition switch is placed in AUTO ACC or ON position.
• Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all the doors, hood and liftgate locked
with the ignition switch placed in the
LOCK position. When placing the ignition
switch in the AUTO ACC or ON position,
the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the fol-
lowing alarm:
• The turn signals blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
• The alarm automatically turns off after a period of time. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm can be shut off by pressing the
button on the Intelligent Key.
The alarm is activated by:
• Opening the door or liftgate without using the Intelligent Key (even if the door is un-
locked by releasing the door inside lock
switch).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking the driver’s
door or the liftgate by pressing the
button on the Intelligent Key or pushing the
request switch on the driver's or passenger's
door with the Intelligent Key in range of the
door handle.

matic payment device on the key ring), restart
the engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de- vice (which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System key.
