WARNING
• Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never
put the belt behind your back, under your
arm or across your neck. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
• Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in an
accident.
• Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle. •
Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
• Do not allow more than one person to use
the same seat belt.
• Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
• If the seat belt warning light glows con-
tinuously or chime continues while the
ignition is turned on with all doors closed
and all seat belts fastened, it may indi-
cate a malfunction in the system. Have
the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
• No changes should be made to the seat
belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material, or install de-
vices that may change the seat belt rout-
ing or tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system. Modi-
fying or tampering with the seat belt
system may result in serious personal
injury.
• Once the seat belt pretensioner(s) have
activated, they cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service. •
All seat belt assemblies, including retrac-
tors and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after any collision. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. INFINITI recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate prop-
erly. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be inspected
and replaced if either damage or im-
proper operation is noted.
• All child restraints and attaching hard-
ware should be inspected after any colli-
sion. Always follow the restraint manu-
facturer's inspection instructions and
replacement recommendations. The
child restraints should be replaced if they
are damaged.

seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2
through 8.
10. If the child restraint is installed in thefront passenger seat, place the ignition
switch in the ON position. The front pas-
senger air bag status light
should
illuminate. If this light is not illuminated,
see “Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-65). Move the child restraint
to another seating position. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.

5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seatbelt toward the retractor to take up extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion of
the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer’s instructions
for adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in- structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in “Three-point type seat belt
with retractor” (P. 1-21). 7. If the booster seat is installed in the front
passenger seat, place the ignition switch
in the ON position. The front passenger air
bag status light
may or may not
illuminate, depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat being
used. For additional information, see
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
(P. 1-65).
PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems:
• Driver and front passenger supplemental front-impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System)
• Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bag
• 2nd row outboard seat-mounted side- impact supplemental air bag
• Front central seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag (if so equipped)
• Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag
• Driver and front passenger supplemental knee air bag
• Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front and 2nd row outboard seats)
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.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS)
1-54Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side-impact collisions.
The side air bags are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
2nd row outboard seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the 2nd row out-
board seat passengers in certain side-impact
collisions. The side air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Front central seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag (if so equipped)
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side-impact and rollover
collisions. In a side-impact, this air bag is de-
signed to inflate during a vehicle impact from
either side.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 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 im-
pacted. In a rollover, both curtain air bags are
designed to inflate and remain inflated for a
short time.
Driver and front passenger supplemental
knee air bags
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the driver’s and front passenger’s
knees in certain collisions.
The SRS is designed to
supplementthe crash
protection provided by the seat belts and is
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. For additional information, see
“Seat belts” (P. 1-17). The supplemental air bags operate 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.
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-55

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seat
belt buckle sensor and occupant classifica-
tion sensor (weight sensor). Inflator opera-
tion is based on the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage for the driver. For the front
passenger, the occupant classification sensor
is also monitored. Based on information from
the sensor, 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 and front passenger supplemental
knee air bag may be automatically turned off
under some conditions, depending on the
weight detected on the passenger seat and
how the seat belt is used. If the front passen-
ger air bag and front passenger supplemental
knee air bag are OFF, the front passenger air
bag status light will be illuminated. For addi-
tional information, see “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P. 1-65). One front air
bag inflating does not indicate improper per-
formance of the system.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information about
the system. If you are considering modifica-
tion of your vehicle due to a disability, youmay also contact INFINITI. Contact informa-
tion 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 the release
of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does
not indicate a fire. Care should be taken to
not 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
face 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, other than the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s supplemental knee 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 prac-
tical away from the steering wheel or instru-
ment 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
front 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 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.
