2023 INFINITI QX60 Owners Manual

manual must be followed.The side air bags
and curtain air bags are designed to inflate in
higher severity side collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher sever-
ity impact. They are designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted. They may
not inflate in certain side collisions.
Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments (for example, during severe off-
roading) may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain
air bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, fol-
lowed 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.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
of the front and rear outboard occupants.
The front central side air bag, along with the use of seat belts helps cushion the impact
force on the head area of the front occu-
pants. Curtain air bags help to cushion the
impact force to the head of occupants in the
front and rear outboard seating positions in
all rows. They can help save lives and reduce
serious injuries. However, an inflating side air
bag or curtain air bag may cause abrasions or
other injuries. Side air bags and curtain air
bags do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and
the driver, front passenger, and 2nd row out-
board occupants seated upright as far as
practical away from the side air bag. Rear
seat passengers should be seated as far
away as practical from the door finishers and
side roof rails. The side air bags and curtain
air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the occupants. Because of this, the force of
the side air bags and curtain air bags inflating
can increase the risk of injury if the occupant
is too close to, or is against, these air bag
modules during inflation. The side air bag will
deflate quickly after the collision is over. The
front central side air bag and curtain air bags
will remain inflated for a short period of time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags oper-
ate only when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.
WARNING
• Do not place any objects near the seat-
back of the front seats. Also, do not place
any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) be-
tween the front door finisher and the
front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if
a side air bag inflates.
• Right after inflation, several side air bag
and curtain 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
side air bag and curtain air bag systems.
This is to prevent damage to or acciden-
tal inflation of the side air bag and cur-
tain air bag systems.
• Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle's electrical system, suspen-
sion system or side panel. This could af-
fect proper operation of the curtain air
bag systems.
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-71

•Tampering with the side air bag system
may result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front seats
by placing material near the seatbacks or
by installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side air
bag.
• It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the side air bag and curtain air bag. It is
also recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for installation of elec-
trical equipment. The SRS wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or dis-
connected. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should
not be used on the side air bag or curtain
air bag systems.
* 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 side air bags
and curtain air bag system and guide the
buyer to the appropriate sections in this
Owner's Manual.
Driver and front passenger
supplemental knee air bag
The knee air bag is located in the knee bolster,
on the driver’s and passenger’s side. All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The
knee air bag is designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although it may in-
flate if the forces in another type of collision
are similar to those of a higher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain
collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper knee air bag operation.
When the knee 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.
The knee air bag helps to cushion the impact
force on the knees of the driver and passenger.
It can help reduce serious injuries. However, an
inflating knee air bag may cause abrasions or

other injuries. The knee air bag provides re-
straint to the lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order to
help protect the occupants. Because of this,
the force of the knee air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is
too close to, or is against, this air bag module
during inflation. The knee air bag will deflate
quickly after the collision is over OR the knee
air bag will remain inflated for a short time.
The knee air bag operates only when the ig-
nition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.
WARNING
• Do not place any objects between the
knee bolster and the driver’s or passen-
ger’s seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if
a knee air bag inflates.
•
Right after inflation, the knee air bag sys-
tem 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
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 or
passenger knee bolster or install addi-
tional 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
devices 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 2nd row 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
pretensioner system. This is to prevent
damage to or accidental activation of the
pretensioner(s). Tampering with the pre-
tensioner system may result in serious
personal injury.
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-73

•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 and 2nd row outboard 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
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,
see "Supplemental air bag warning light"
(P. 1-75). If the operation of the supplemental
air bag warning light indicates there is a mal-
function, have the system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
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.

WARNING
• Once a front air bag, side air bag, knee air
bag, or curtain air bag has inflated, the
air bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally, the
activated pretensioner(s) must also be
replaced. The air bag module and preten-
sioner(s) should be replaced. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. However, the air
bag module and pretensioner(s) cannot
be repaired.
• The front air bag, side air bag, knee air
bag, curtain air bag systems and the pre-
tensioner system should be inspected if
there is any damage to the front end or
side portion of the vehicle. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
• If you need to dispose of a supplemental
air bag or pretensioner systems or scrap
the vehicle, it is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer. Incorrect dis-
posal procedures could cause personal
injury. •
If there is an impact to your vehicle from
any direction, your Occupant Classifica-
tion Sensor (OCS) should be checked to
verify it is still functioning correctly. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. The OCS should
be checked even if no air bags deploy as a
result of the impact. Failure to verify
proper OCS function may result in an im-
proper air bag deployment resulting in
injury or death.
