Seat belt extenders are available for the:
• Driver and front passenger seating position
• 2nd and 3rd row seating position
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for assistance with purchasing an ex-
tender if an extender is required.
WARNING
• Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which made the
original equipment seat belts, should be
used with INFINITI seat belts.
• Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an ex-
tender. Such unnecessary use could re-
sult in serious personal injury in the event
of an accident.
• Never use seat belt extenders to install
child restraints. If the child restraint is
not secured properly, the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision or
a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
• To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpet.
Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are com-
pletely dry.
• If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may
retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide
with a clean, dry cloth.
• Periodically check to see that the seat belt
and the metal components, such as buck-
les, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and
anchors, work properly. If loose parts, de-
terioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-
sembly should be replaced.WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the seat
belts. Most seating positions are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the
ALR mode activated, the child can be seri-
ously injured or killed if the seat belt re-
tracts and becomes tight. This can occur
even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the
seat belt to release the child. If the seat belt
cannot be unbuckled or is already unbuck-
led, release the child by cutting the seat
belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife or
scissors) to release the seat belt.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available
from many other sources, including doctors,
teachers, government traffic safety offices,
and community organizations. Every child is
different, so be sure to learn the best way to
transport your child.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light, dis-
playingin the instrument panel, moni-
tors the circuits for the air bag systems, pre-
tensioner(s) and all related wiring. When the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns
OFF. This means the system is operational. If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, knee air bag, cur-
tain air bag and pretensioner systems need
servicing:
• The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
• The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side
air bag, knee air bag, curtain air bag or pre-
tensioner systems may not operate properly.
They must be checked and repaired. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is
on, it could mean that the front air bag, side
air bag, knee air bag, curtain air bag and/or
pretensioner systems will not operate in an
accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or
others, have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags, knee air
bags, curtain air bags and pretensioner(s) are
designed to inflate on a one-time-only basis.
As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the
supplemental air bag warning light remains
illuminated after inflation has occurred.
These systems should be repaired and/or re-
placed as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, knee
air bags, curtain air bags, pretensioner(s) and
related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The ig-
nition switch should always be in the LOCK
position when working under the hood or
inside the vehicle.

•If the light does not illuminate with the
ignition switch placed in the ON position,
have the vehicle checked as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
•
If the light illuminates while driving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the vehicle
as soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage could oc-
cur and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury or death.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure show on the
Tire and Loading Information label lo-
cated in the driver’s door opening to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while driving af-
ter adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may
be flat or the TPMS may be malfunction-
ing. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible. If no tire is
flat and all tires are properly inflated, have
the vehicle checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
• When using a wheel without the TPMS
such as the spare tire, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for these
services.
• Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 mph (25 km/h), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) (if so equipped)
If this indicator light comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate a potential emission control
malfunction.
The MIL may also come on steady if the
vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure
that the vehicle has at least 3 gal (11.4 L) of
fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an emission
control system inspection/maintenance test.
For additional information, see “Readiness
for inspection/maintenance (I/M) test”
(P. 10-34).
