WARNING

.Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident,

you co uld be thrown into it and

receive neck or other serious injuries.

You could also slide under the lap belt

and receive serious inte rnal injuries.

.For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the

seat should be upright . Alwa ys sit

well back and upright in the sea t with

both feet on the floor and adjust the

seat belt properly. See “Precautions

on seat belt usage ” (P.1-11).

.Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehic le. They could un-

knowingly activate switches or con-

trols. Unattended children could

beco me involved in serious accidents.

.To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the

vehicle and/or its systems, do not

leave children, people who require the

assis ta nce of others or pe ts unat-

tend ed in your vehicle. Additionally,

the temperature inside a closed ve -

hicle on a war m day can quickly

become high enough to cause a sig-

nificant risk o f injury or death t o

people and pets.

.The seatback should not be reclined

further than necessary for comfort.

Seat belts are most effective when

the passenger sits well back a nd

straight up in the s eat. If the seat-

back is reclined, the risk of sliding

und er the lap belt and being injured is

increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positio ns, be

sure not to contact any moving parts to

avoid possible injuries and/or damages.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly

adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well

back in your seat with both fee t on the floor,

your chances of being injured or killed in an

accident and/or the severity of injury may be

greatly reduced. I NFINITI strongly en-

courages you and all of your passengers to

buckle up every time you drive, even if your

seating position includes a supplemental air

bag.

Most U.S. sta tes and Canadian provinces or

territories specify that seat belts be worn at

all times when a vehicle is being driven.

WARNING

.Every person who drives or rides in

this vehicle should use a seat belt at

all times. Children s hould be properly

restra ined in the rear sea t and, if

appropriat e, in a child restra int.

.The seat belt should be properly

adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do

so may reduce the effec tivene ss of

t he entire restraint system and in-

creas e the chance or severity of injury

in an accident. Serious injury or death

can occur if the seat belt is not worn

properly.

.Always route the shoulder belt over

your shoulder and across your c hest .

Never run the belt behind your back,

under your a rm or acros s your neck.

The belt should be away from your

fac e 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 s o may reduce its

effectiveness.

.Do not allow more than one person to

use the same seat belt.

.Never carry more people in the ve-

hicle than there are seat belts.

.If the seat belt warning light glows

continuously while th e ignitio n is

turned ON with all doors closed and

all seat belts fastened, it may indicate

a mal function in the system. Have the

system checked . It is recommended

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 devices that may change the

seat belt routing or tension. Doing so

may aff ect the operation of the seat

belt system. Modifying or tampering

with the seat belt system may result

in s erious personal injury.

.Once a seat belt pretensioner has

activated, it cannot be reused and

must be replaced together with the

retractor. It is recommended you visit

an INFINITI retailer for this service.

.All seat belt assemblies, including

retra ctors and attaching hardware,

should be inspected after any colli-

sion. It is recommended you visit an

INFINITI retailer for thi s service.

INFINITI recommends that all sea t

belt assemblies in use during a colli-

sion be replaced unless the collision

was minor and the belts show no

damage and continue to operate

properly. Seat belt assemblies not in

use during a collisio n should also be

inspected and replaced if either da-

mage or improper o peration is noted.

.All child restraints and attaching

hard ware should be inspected after

any collision. Al ways follow the re-

straint manufacturer’s inspection in-

s t r u c t i o n s a n d r e p l a c e m e n t

recommendations. The child re-

straints should be replaced if they

are damaged.

PREGNANT WOMEN

INFINITI recommends that p regnant women

use seat belts. T he s eat belt should be worn

snug, and always position the lap belt as low

as possible around the hips, not the waist,

and place the shoulder belt over your

shoulder and across your chest. Never run

the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal

area. Contact your doctor for specific re-

commendations.

INJURED PERSONS

INFINITI recommends that injure d persons

use seat belts, depending on the injury.

Check with your doctor for specific recom-

mendations.

PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH

COMFORT FUNCTION (front

seats) (if so equ ipped)

The pre-crash s eat belt tightens the seat belt

with a motor to help restrain front seat

occupants. This helps reduce the risk of

injury in a collision.

The motor retracts the s eat belt under the

following emergency conditions:

.During emergency braking.

.During sudden steering maneuvers.

.Activation of the Forward Emergency

Braking (FEB) with pedestrian detection

system. (See “Forward Emergency Brak-

ing (FEB) with pedestrian detection

system” (P.5-100).)

The pre-crash seat bel t will not be active

when:

.The seat belt is not fastened.

.The vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15

km/h) du ring emergency braking.

.The vehicle speed is under 19 MPH (30

km/h) during su dden steering maneu-

vers.

The pre-crash seat bel t will not be active

w hen the brake pedal is not depressed

ex cept when sudd en steerin g maneuvers

occur or the FEB with pedestrian detection

system activates.

The motor also retracts the seat b elt when

the seat belt is fastened or unfas tene d.

When the s eat belt is fastened, the motor

tightens the seat belt for a snug fit. When

the seat belt is unfastened, the motor

r etracts the seat belt. If the seat belt is not

fully retracted, the motor retracts the seat

belt when the door is opened.

Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit

upright and well back.

If the motor cannot retract the seat belt

when the seat belt is fastened or unf as-

tened, it may indicate the pre-crash s eat belt

system has a malfunction. It is recommended

you have an INFINITI retailer check and

repair the system.

When the seat belt is retracted repeatedly in

a short period of time, the motor may not be

able to retract the seat belt. After a fe w

minutes, the motor normally reactivates and

retracts the seat belt. If the seat be lt still

cannot be retracted by the motor, the pre-

crash seat belt system has a malfunction.

Safet y — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-13

1-14 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Have the system checked and repaired. It is

recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer

for this service.

T HREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT

WARNING

.Every person who drives or rides in

this vehicle should use a seat belt at

all times.

.Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident,

you co uld be thrown into it and

receive neck or other serious injuries.

You could also slide under the lap belt

and receive serious inte rnal injuries.

.For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the

seat should be upright . Alwa ys sit

well back and upright in the sea t with

both feet on the floor and adjust the

seat belt properly.

WARNING

Do not allo w children to play with the

seat belts. Most seating positions a re

equipped with Auto matic Locking Re-

tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat

belt be comes wrapped around a child’s

neck with the ALR mode act ivated, the

child can be seriously injured or killed if

the seat belt retracts and becom es tight.

This can occur even if the vehicle is

parked . Unbuckle the seat belt to relea se

the child.

SSS0292

Fasten ing the seat belts

1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” (P.1-2).)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the

retractor and insert the tongue into the

buckle until you hear and feel the latch

engage.

. The retractor is designed to lock

during a sudden stop or on impact.

A slow pulling motion permits the

belt to move, and allows you some

freedom of moveme nt in the seat.

. If the seat belt cannot be pulled from

its fully ret racted position, firmly pull

the belt and release it. Then smoothly

pull the belt out of the ret ractor.

SSS0290

3. Position the lap belt portion low and

snug on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the

retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure

the shoulder belt is routed over your

shoulder and across your chest.

The three-point type seat belts have two

modes of operation:

.Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

.Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The Emer gency Locking Retractor (ELR)

mode allows the seat belt to extend and

retract to allow t he driver and passengers

some freedom of movement in the seat. The

ELR locks the seat belt when the vehicle

slows down rapidly or during impacts.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

mode (child restraint mode) locks the seat

belt for child restraint installation.

When the ALR mode is activated the seat

belt cannot be extended again until the seat

belt t on gue is detached from the buckle and

fully retracted. The seat belt returns to the

ELR mode after the seat belt fully retracts.

For additional information, see “Ch ild re-

straints” (P.1-19).

The ALR mode should be used only for child

rest raint inst allation. During normal seat

belt use by an occupant , the ALR mode

should not be activated. If it is activated, it

may cause uncomfortable se at belt tension.

WARNING

When fastening the seat bel ts, be certain

that seatbacks are compl etely secured in

the latched posi tion. If they are not

completely secured, passengers may be

injured in an accident or sudden stop.

SSS0326

Unfastening the seat belts

To unfasten the seat belt, pu sh the button

on the buckle. The seat belt automatically

retracts.

Checking seat belt operation

Seat bel t retractors are designed to lock seat

belt movement by two separate methods:

.When the belt is pulled quickly from the

retractor.

.When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

To increase your confidence in the seat belts,

check the operation as follows:

.Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward

quickly. T he retractor should lock and

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-15

1-16 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

restrict further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during th is

check, get the system checked. It is recom-

mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this

service, or to learn more about seat belt

operation.

SSS0588

Shou lder b elt arm (for front seats)

Before fastening the seat belt, pull the

shoulder belt arm f or ward until it clicks at

the lock position. The arm can also be folded

d own for easier access for rear seat passen-

gers.

Pulling t he arm f or ward will allow an easy

access to the belt.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

If, because of body size or driving position, it

is not possible to properly fit the lap -

shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender that

is compatible with the installed seat belts is

available that can be purch ased. The ex-

te nder adds approximately 8 in (200 mm) of

length and may be used f or either the driver

or front passenger seating position. It is

recommended you visit an IN FIN ITI re t ailer

for assistance with purchasing an extender if

an extend er is required.

WARNING

.It is recommended only INFINITI seat

belt extenders, made by the same

company which made the original

equipment seat belts, be used with

the INFINITI seat belts.

.Adults and children who can use the

standard seat belt should not use an

ex tender. Such unnecessary use could

result in serious personal injury in the

event of an accident.

.Never use seat belt extenders to

install child restraints. If the child

re straint is not s ecured properly, the

child could be s eriously 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 re-

commended for cleaning uphols t ery or

carpets . Then, wipe with a cloth and

allow the seat b elts to dry in the s hade.

Do not allow the seat belts to retract

until they are completely 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

buckle s, tongu es, retractors, flexible

wires and anchors work pr op erly. If loose

parts, deterioration, cuts or other da-

mage on th e webbing is found, the en t ire

seat bel t assembly should be replaced.

WARNING

Do not allow childre n to play with the

seat belts. Most seating positions are

equipped with Automatic Locking Re-

tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat

belt becomes wrapped around a child’s

neck with t he ALR mode activated, the

child can be seriously inj ured or killed if

the seat belt retracts and becomes tight.

This can occur even if the vehicle is

parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release

the child.

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 d octors,

teachers, government traffic safety offices,

and community organizations. E very child is

different, so be sure to learn the best way to

transport your child.

There are thr ee basic types of child restraint

systems:

.Rear-facing child restraint

.Forward-facing child restraint

.Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the child’s

size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year

and less than 20 lbs (9 kg) s hould be pl aced

in rear-faci ng child restraints. Forwa rd-

facing child restraints are available for

children who outgrow rear-f acing child re-

s t raints and are at least 1 year old. Booster

seats are used to help position a vehicle lap/

shoulder belt on a child who can no longer

use a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children nee d special protec-

tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit

them properly. The shoulder be lt may

come too close to the face or neck. The

lap belt may not fit over their smal l hip

b ones. In an accident, an i mproperly

fitting se at belt could c ause serious or

fatal injury. Always use appropriate

child res traints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require the use of appr oved child

restraints for infants and small children . See

“Child restraints” (P.1-19).

A child restr aint may be secured in the

vehicle by using either the LATCH ( Lower

Anchor and Tethers for CHildren) system or

with the vehicle seat belt. See “Child re-

straints” (P.1-19) for more information.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-

STRAINTS

WARNING

.Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use and in-

sta llation of child restraints could

result in serious injury or death of a

child or other passengers in a sudden

stop or collision:

— The child restraint must be used

and installed properly. Always

follow all of the child restraint

manufacturer’s instru ctions for

installation and use.

— Infants and children should never

be held on anyone’s lap. Even the

stronges t adult cannot resist the

forces of a coll ision.

— Do not put a seat be lt around

both a child and another passen-

ger.

— INFINITI recommends that all

child restraints be installed in the

rear seat. Studies show that chil-

dren are safer when properly re-

strained in the rear seat than in

the front seat. If you must install a

— Even with the INFINITI Advanced

A ir Bag System , never inst all a

rear-facing child restraint in the

front seat. An inflating air bag

could seriously injure or kill a child.

A rear-facing child res traint must

only be used in the rear seat.

— Be sure to purchase a child re-

st raint that w ill fit the child and

vehicle. Some child restraints may

not fit properly in your vehicle.

— Child restra int anchor points are

designed to withstand loads from

child restraints that are properly

fitted.

— Never use the anchor points for

adult seat belts or harnesses.

— A child restraint with a top tether

strap should not be used in the

front passenger seat.

— Keep seatb acks as upright as

possibl e after fitting the child

restraint.

— Infants and children should al-

ways be placed in an appropriate

child restraint while in the vehicle.

.When the child restraint is not in use,

keep it secured with the LATCH

system or a seat belt. In a sudden

stop or collision, loose objects can

injure occupants or da mage the ve-

hicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a c losed vehicle can

become very hot. Check the seating

surface and buckles before placin g a

child in the child restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal child

restraint anchor system, referred to as the

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for

CHildre n) system. Some child restraints in-

clude rigid or webbing-mounted attach-

ments that can be connected to these

anchors.

For details, see “Lower Anchors and Tethers

for CHildren System (LATCH)” (P.1-21).

If you do not have a LATCH compatible child

restraint, the vehicle s eat belts can be used.

Several manufacturers offe r child restraints

for infants and small children of various

sizes. When selecting any child restraint,

keep the following points in mind:

.Choose only a restraint with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard 213.

.Check the child restraint in your vehicle to

be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s

seat and seat belt system.

.If the child restraint is compatible with

your vehicle, place your child in the child

restraint and check t he various adjust-

ments to be sure the child restraint is

compatible with your child. Choose a

child restraint that is designed for your

child’s height and weight. Always follow

all recommended procedures.

.If the combined weight of the child and

child restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5

kg), you may use either the LATCH

anchors or the seat belt to install the

child restraint (not both at the same

time).

.If the combined weight of the child and

child restraint is g reater than 65 lbs (29.5

kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the

lower anchors) t o install the child r e-

straint.

.Be sure to follow the child restraint

manufacturer’s instructions for installa-

tion.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

restraint at all time s while the vehicle is

being operated. Canadian law requires the

top tether strap on forward-facing child

restraints be secured to the designated

anchor point on the vehicle.

the belt is away from the child’s face

and neck and the lap portion of the

belt does not cross the stomach.

.Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the child ’s

arm.

.A booster seat must only be installed

in a seating position that has a lap/

shoulder belt.

LRS0455

Booster seats of various sizes are offered by

several manufacturers. When selecting any

booster seat, keep the following points in

mind:

.Choose only a booster seat with a label

certifying that it compl ies with Federal

.Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and

rollover supplemental air bag

.Seat belt with pretensioner

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.

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bag system: This system can help

cush ion the impact force to the chest and

pelvis area of the driver and f ront passe nger

in certain side impact collisions. The side air

bag is designed to inflate on the side where

the vehicle is impacted.

Roof-mounted curta in side-impact and roll-

over suppl emental 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 impacted. In

a rollover, curtain air bags on both sides are

designed to inflate and re main inflated for a

short time.

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate

in certain types of rollover collisions or near

rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-

ments may cause the curtain air bags to

inflate.

These supplemental restraint systems are

designed to the crash protectionsupplement

provided by the driver and passenge r seat

belts and are for them. Seatnot a substitute

belts should always be correctly worn and

the occupant seated a suitable d istance

away from the steering wheel, instrument

panel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”

(P.1-11) for instructions and precautions on

seat belt usage.)

The supplemental air bags operate only

when the ignition switch is in the ON

Front passeng er air bag and status

light

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed

to automatically turn OFF under some

conditions. Read this section carefully to

learn ho w it operates. Proper use o f the

seat, seat belt and child restraints is

necessary for most effective protection.

Failure to follow all instructions in this

manual concerning the use of seats, seat

belts and child restraints can increase

the risk or severity of injury in an

accident.

Status light:

The fr ont pass enger seat is equipped with an

occupant classification sensors (weight sen-

sors) that turn the front passenge r air bag on

or off depending on the weight applied to

the front passenger seat. The status of the

fr ont passenger air bag (ON or OFF) is

indicated by the front passenger air bag

status light which is located on the

instrument panel.

After the ignition switch is placed in the ON

position, the front passenger air bag status

light illuminates for about 7 seconds and

then tu rns off or remains illuminated de-

pend ing on the front passenger seat occu-

pied s t atus. The light operates as follows:

In addition to the above, certain objects

placed on the front passenger seat may also

cause the light to operate as described

above depending on their weight.

For additional information related to the

normal operation and troubleshooting of

this occupant classification sens or system,

please refer to “Normal operation” (P.1-49)

and “Troubleshooting” (P.1-50).

Front passenger air bag:

The fr ont passenger air bag is designed to

automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is

operated under some conditions as de-

scribed below in accordance with U.S.

regulations. If the front passenger air bag

is OFF, it will not inflate in a crash. The driver

air bag and other air bags in your vehicle are

not part of this system.

The purp ose of the regulation is to help

reduce the risk of injury or death from an

inflating air bag to certain f ront passenge r

seat occupants, such as children, by requiring

the air bag to be automatically turned OFF.

Certain sensors are used to meet the

requirements.

The occupant classification sensor in this

vehicle is a weight sensor. It is designed to

detect an occupant and objects on the seat

by weight. For example, if a child is in the

front passenger seat, the Advanced Air Bag

System is designed to turn the passenger air

bag OFF in accordance with the regulations.

Also, if a child restraint of the type specified

in the regulations is on the seat, its weight

and the child’s weight can be detected and

cause the air bag to turn OFF.

F ront passenge r seat adult occupants who

are properly seated and using the seat belt

as outlined in this manual should not cause

the passenger air bag to be automatically

turned OFF. For small adults it may b e

turned OFF, however, if the occupant takes

his/her weight off the seat cush ion (for

example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on

an edge of the seat, or by otherwise being

out of position), this could cause the sensor

to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure to be

seated and wearing the se at belt properly

for the most effective protection by the seat

belt and supplemental air bag.

INFI NITI recommends that pre-teens and

children be properly restrained in a rear seat.

INFINIT I also recommends that appropriate

child restraints and booster seats be prop-

er ly installed in a rear seat. If this is not

possible, the occupant classification sensor

is designed to ope rate as described above to

turn the front passenger air bag OFF for

specified child restraints as required by t he

regulations. Failing to properly secure child

restraints and to use the ALR mode may

allow th e restraint to tip or move in a

collision or sudden stop. This can also result

in the passenger air bag inflating in a crash

instead of being OFF. For additional infor-

mation, refer to “Child restraints” (P.1-19)

for proper use and installation.

I f the front passenger seat is not occupied,

the passenger air bag is designed not to

inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects

pl aced on the seat could resul t in air bag

inflation, because of the object’s weight

detected by t he occupant c lassification

sens or . Other conditions could also result in

air bag inflation, such as if a child is standing

on the seat, or if two children are on the

seat, contrary to the instructions in this

manual. A lways be sur e that you and all

vehicle occupants are seated and restrained

properly.

Using the front passenger air b ag status

light, you can moni tor when the front

passenger air bag is automatically turned

OFF.

If an adul t occupant is in the seat but the

front passeng er air bag status light i s

illu minated (indicating that the air bag is

OFF), it could be that the person is a small

adult, or is not sitting on the s eat properly or

not using the seat belt properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front

seat, the front passenger air bag status light

may or may not be illuminated, depending on

th e size of the child and the type of child

restraint be ing used. If the fr ont passenger

air bag status light is not illuminated (in-

dicating that the air bag might inflate in a

crash), it could be that the child restraint or

seat belt is not being used properly. Make

sure that the child restraint is installe d

properly, the seat belt is used properly and

the occupant is positioned proper ly. If the

front passeng er air bag status light is still not

illuminated, reposition t he occupant or child

restraint in a rear seat.

If the front passe nger air bag status light will

not illuminate even though you believe that

t he child restraint, the seat belt s and the

occupant are properly positioned, it is re-

commended that you take your vehicle to an

INFINITI retailer. An INFINITI retailer can

check system status by using a special tool.

However, until you have confirmed with

your retailer that your air bag is working

properly, reposition the occupant or child

restraint in a rear seat.

Th e INF INITI Advanced Air Bag System and

front passenger air bag status light will take

a few seconds to register a change in the

passenger seat status. This is normal system

operation and does not indicate a malfunc-

tion.

I f a malfunction occurs in the front passen-

ger air bag system, the suppl emental air bag

warning light , located in the meter and

gauges area of the instrument panel, will be

illuminated (blinking or steadily lit). Have t he

system checked. It is recommended you visit

an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Normal operation:

In order for the occupant classifica tion

sens or system to classify the front passen-

ger based on weight , plea se follo w the

precautions and steps outlined below:

Precautions

.Make sure that there are no objects

weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg) hanging on

the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.

.Make sure that a child restraint or other

object is not pressing against the rear of

the seatback.

.Make sure that a rear passenger is not

pushing or pulling on the back of the

front passenger seat.

.Make sure that the front passenger seat

or seatback is not forced back against an

object on the seat or floor behind it.

.Make sure that there is no object placed

under the front passenger s eat.

.Make sure that the front passenger seat

head restraint does not contact the roof

when adjusting the front passeng er seat.

Steps

1. Adjus t the seat as outlined in “Seats”

(P.1-2). Sit upright, leaning against the

seatback, and centered on the seat

cus hion with your feet comfortably ex-

te nded to the floor.

2. Make sure there are no objects on your

lap.

3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in “Seat

belts” (P.1-11). Front passenger seat belt

buckle status is monitored by the occu-

pant classification sensor system, and is

u sed as an input to determine occupancy

status. So, it is highly re commende d that

the front passenger f aste ns his/her seat

belt.

4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds

allowing the system to cl ass ify the front

passenger before th e vehicle is put into

motion.

5. Ensure proper classification by checking

the front passenger air bag status light.

NOTE:

This vehicle’s occupant classification sensor

system generally keeps the class ification

locke d during driving, so it is important that

you confirm that the front passenger is

properly classified prior to driving. How-

ever, the occupant classificatio n sensor may

recalculate the weight of the occu pant

under some conditions (both while driving

and when stopped), so the front pa ssenger

seat occupant should continue to remain

seated as out lined above.

Sa fety — Seats, seat belt s and supplemental restraint system 1-49

1-50 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Troubleshooting:

If you think the front passenger air bag

status light is incorrect:

1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying

t he fron t passenger seat:

. Occupant is a small adult - the air bag

status light is functioning as intended.

The front passenger air bag is sup-

pressed.

However, if the occupant is not a s mall

adult, then this may be due to the

following conditions that may be inter-

fering with the weight sensors:

. Occupant is not sitting upright, lean-

ing against the seatback, and cen-

tered on the seat cushion with his/her

feet comfor tably exte nded to the

floor.

. A child restraint or other object press-

ing against the rear of t he seatback.

. A rear passenger pushing or pulling on

the back of the front passenger seat.

. F or cing 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 be-

tween 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 vehicle and wait 1 minute.

NOTE:

A system check will be performed during

which the front passenger air bag status

l ight will re main 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

sh ould be checked by an IN FIN ITI retailer

as soon as possible.

2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child

or child restraint occupying the front

passenger seat:

This may be due to the following condi-

tions that may be interfering with t he

weight sensors:

. Small adult or child is not sitting

upright, leaning against the seatback,

and centered on the seat cushion with

his/her f eet comfortably extended to

the floor.

. The child restraint is not properly

installed as outlined in “Chi ld re-

straints” (P.1-19).

. An object weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg)

hanging on the s eat or placed in the

seatback pocket.

. A child restraint or other object press-

ing against the rear of t he seatback.

. A rear passenger pushing or pulling on

the back of the front passenger seat.

. F or cing 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.

. The front passenger seat head re-

straint contacting the roof.

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 vehicle and wait 1 minute.

NOTE:

A system check will be performed during

which the front passenger air bag status

l ight will re main lit for about 7 seconds

initially.

If the light is still OFF after this, the small

adult, child or child restraint should be

repositioned in the rear seat and the

vehicle should be checked by an INFINITI

retailer as soon as possible.

3. If the light is OFF with no front passen-

ger and no objects on the front passen-

ger seat, the vehicle should be checked

by an INFINITI retailer as soon as

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-

IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR

BAG AND ROOF-MOUNTED

CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT AND

ROLLOVER SUPPLEMENTAL AIR

BAG SYSTEMS

T he side air bags are located in the outs ide

of the seatback of the front seats. The

curtain air bags are located in the side roof

rails. All of the information, cautions and

warnings in this manual apply and must be

followed. The side air bags and curtain air

bags are designed to inflate in higher

severity side collisions, although th ey may

inf la te if the forc es in anoth er type of

collision are similar to those of a higher

severity impact. They are designed to inflate

on the side where the vehicle is impacted.

They may not inflate in certain side collisions.

Curtain air b ags are also designed to inflate

in certain types of rollover collisions or near

rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-

ments may cause the curtain air bags to

inflate.

Vehicle damage ( or lack of it) is not always

an indication of proper supplemental s ide air

bag and curtain side-impact air bag opera-

tion.

When side air bags and curtain air bags

inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,

followed by release of smoke. This smoke is

not h armfu l 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 shoul d get

fresh air promptly.

Side air bags , along with the use of seat

belts, he lp to cushion the impact force on the

chest of the front occupants. Curtain air

bags help to cushion the impact force to the

head of occupants in the fr on t and rear

outboard seating positions in all rows. They

can h elp save lives and reduce serious

injuries. However, an inflating s ide air bags

and curtain air bags may cause abrasions or

other injuries. Side air bags and curtain air

bags d o not provide restraint to the lower

body.

The seat belts should be correctly worn and

the driver and passenger seated upright as

far as practical away from the side air bag.

Rear seat pass engers should be seated as far

away as practical from the door f inishers

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. In a

rollover, the curtain air bags on both sides

are de signed to inflate. Under both side-

impact situations, the cur t ain air bags will

remain inflated for a short period of time.

The side air bags and curtain air bags

operate only when the ignition switch is in

the ON positio n.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON

position, the supplementa l air bag warning

light illuminates. The air bag warning light

will turn off after about 7 seconds if the

systems are o perational.

WARNING

.Do not place any objects near the

seatback of the front sea ts. Also, do

not place any objects (an umbrella,

bag, etc.) betwe en the door finisher

and the front seat. Such obje cts may

become dangerous projectiles and

ca use injury if sid e air bag inflates.

.Right after inflation, several side air

bags and curtain air bag s ystem

compone nts will be hot. Do not touch

them; you may severely burn your-

self.

.No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring o f

side air bag and curtain air bags. This

is to prevent damage to or accidental

inflation of the side air bag and

curtain air bag systems .

.Do not make unauthorized changes

to your vehicle’s electrical system,

suspension system or side panel. This

could affect proper operation of the

side air bag and curtain air bag

systems.

.Tampering with the air bag system

may result in serious personal injury.

For example, do not change the front

seats by placing material near the

seatbac k or by instal ling additional

trim material , such as s eat covers,

around the side air bags.

.It is recommended you visit an

INFINITI retaile r for work on and

around the side air bag and curt ain

air bag. It is also recommended you

visit an INFINITI retailer for installa-

tion of electrical equipment. The

Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS) wiring harnesses* should not

be modified or disconnected. Un-

authorized electrical test equipment

and probing de vices should not be

used on the side-impact air bag

system.

*The SRS wiring harness connectors are

yellow and orange for easy identif ica-

tion.

When selling your vehicle, we request that

you inform the buyer about the side air bag

and curtain air bag systems and guide the

buyer to the appropriate sections in this

Owner’s Manual.

WARNING

.The pretensioners cannot be reused

after activation. They must be re-

placed together with the retractor

and buckle as a unit.

.If the vehicle becomes involved in a

collision but a pretensioner is not

activated, be sure to have the pre-

tensioner system checked and, if

necessary, replaced. It is recom-

mended you visit an INFINITI retailer

for this s ervice.

.No unauthorized changes should be

made to any compo nents or wiring of

the pretensioners. This is to prevent

damage to or accid ental activation of

the pre tens ioner system. Tampering

with the pretensioner system may

result in serious personal injury.

.It is recommended you visit an

INFINITI retail er for work on and

around the pretensioner system. It is

also recommended you visit an

INFINITI retailer for installation of

electrical equipment. Unauthoriz ed

electrical t est equipment and probing

devices should not be used on the

pretensioner system.

.If you need to dispose of the preten-

sioner or scrap the vehicle, it is

recomm ended you visit an INFINITI

retailer for this service. Correct pre-

tensioner disposal procedures are set

fo rth in the appropriate INFINITI

Service Manual. Incorrect disp osal

procedures could cause personal in-

jury.

.If there is an impact to your vehicle

from any direction, your Occupant

Classification Sensor (OCS) should be

checked. It is recommended an

INFINITI retailer performs this ser-

vice to verify it is still functioning

correctly. 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 result ing

in injury or dea th.

The pretensioner system may activate with

the supplemental air bag system in certain

types of collisions. Working with the seat

belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt

when the vehicle be comes involved in certain

types of collisions, helping to restrain front

seat occupants.

The pretensioner is encased with the seat

belt r etractor. T hese seat belts are used the

same way as conventional s eat belts.

When a pretensioner seat belt activates,

smoke is released and a loud noise may be

heard. The smoke is not harmful, and it 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

cond ition should get fres h air promptly.

After pretensioner activation, load limiters

allow the seat be lt to rele ase webbing (if

necessary) to reduce forces against the

chest.

The supplemental air bag warning light

is used to indic ate malfunctions in the

pretensioner system. (See “Su pplemental

air bag warning light” (P.1-55) for more

details.) If the operation of the supplemental

air bag warning light indicates there is a

malfunction, have the syste m checked. It is

recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer

for this service.

When selling your vehicle, we request that

you inform the buyer about the seat belt

pretensioners and guide the buyer to the

appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

ZONE VARIATION CHA NGE

PROCEDURE

The difference between magnetic north and

geographical north is known as variance. In

some areas, this difference can sometimes

be great enough to cause false compass

readings. Follow t hese instructions to set the

variance for your particular l ocation if this

happens:

1. Push the switch for more than 3

seconds. The current zone number will

appear in the display.

2. Find your curre nt location and variance

number on the zone map.

3. Push the switch repeatedly u ntil the

new zone number appears in the display,

then release the switch. After you re-

lease the switch, the display will show a

compass direction within a few seconds .

. If the compass deviates from the

correct indication soon after repeated

adjustment , it is recommended you

have the compa ss checked at an

INFINITI retailer.

. The compass may not indicate the

correct compass point in tunnels or

while driving up or down a steep hill.

(The compass r eturns to th e correct

compass point when the vehicle

moves to an area where the geomag-

netism is stabilized.)

CAUTION

.Do not install a ski rack, antenna,

etc., which are attached to the vehi-

cle by means of a magnet. They affect

t he operation of the compass.

.When cleaning the mirror, use a paper

towel or similar material dampe ned

with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass

cleaner directly on the mirror as it

may cause the liquid cleaner to enter

the mirror housing.

Low tire pressure war ning light

Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pr essure

Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors

the tire pressure of al l tires except the spare

tire ( if so equipped).

The low tire pressure warning light warns of

low tire pressure and flat tire (if so equipped)

or indicates that the TPMS is not functioning

properly.

After the ignition switch is placed in the ON

position, this light illuminates for about 1

second and turns off.

Low tire press ure warning:

If the vehicle is being driven with low tire

pressure, the warning light will illuminate.

The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning

also appears in the vehicle information dis-

play.

When the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates, you should stop and adjust the

tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire

pressure shown on the Tire and Loading

Information label . The low t ire pressure

warning light does not automatically turn

off when the tire pressure is adjusted. After

the tire is inflated to the rec ommended

pressure, the vehicle must be driven at

speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate

the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressu re

warning light. Use a tire p ressure gauge to

check the tire pre ssure.

The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning is

active as long as the low tire pr essure

warning l ight remains illuminated.

For addi tiona l informa tion, see “Vehicle

information display” (P.2-20), “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5) and

“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)”

(P.6-3).

Flat tire warning (if so equipped):

The flat tire warning warns of a flat tire.

If the vehicle is being driven with one or more

flat tires, the low tire pressur e warning light

will illuminate continuously and a chime will

sound for 10 seconds. A “Flat Tire - Visit

dealer” warning also appears in the vehicle

information display.

The chime will o nly so und at the first

indication of a flat tire and the warning light

will illuminate continuously. When the flat

tire warning is activated, have the system

reset and the tire checked, and replaced if

necessary. It is recommended you visit an

INF INITI r etailer for these services. Even if

the tire is inflated to the specified COLD t ire

pressure , the warning light will continue to

illuminate until the system is re set by an

INFINITI retailer.

Y our vehicle can be d riven for a limited time

on a flat tire. See “Run-flat tires” (P.6-4).

TPMS malfunction:

If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the

low tire pressur e warning light will flash for

approximately 1 minute when the ignition

switch is placed in the ON position. Th e light

will remain on after the 1 minute. Have the

system checked. It is recommended you visit

an I NFI NITI retailer for this service. The “Tire

Pressure Low - Add Air” warning does not

appear if the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.

For additional information, see “Tire Pres-

sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5).

WARNING

.Radio waves could adversely affect

electric medical equipment. Those

who use a pacemaker should contact

the electric medic al equipment man-

ufacturer for the possible influence s

before use.

.If the light does not illuminate with

the ignition switch pushed ON, have

the vehicle checked as soon as possi-

ble. It is reco mmended you visit an

INFINIT I retailer for this s ervice.

.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 t he likelihood of

tire failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occu r and may lead to an

accident and could result in serious

personal injury. Check the tire pres-

sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire

pressure to the recommended COLD

tire pressure shown on the Tire and

Load ing Information label to turn the

low tire pressure warning light OFF.

If the light still illuminates while

driving after adjus ting the tire pres-

sure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS

may be malfunctioning. If you have a

flat tire, replace it with a spare tire (if

so equipped) or repair it with the

emergency t ire puncture repair kit (if

so equipped) as soon as possible. If no

tire is flat and all tires are properly

inflated, it is recomme nded you con-

sult an INFINITI reta il er.

.For models with run-flat tires,

although you can continue driving

with a punctured run-fl at tire, re-

member that vehicle handling stabi-

lity is reduced, w hich could lead to an

accident and perso nal injury. Also,

driving a long dist ance at high speeds

may damage the tires.

— Do not drive at speeds above 50

MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive

more than approximately 93 miles

(150 km) with a punctured run-

flat tire. The actual distance the

ve hicle can be driven on a flat tire

depends on outside temperature,

vehicle load, road cond itions and

other factors.

— If you detect any unusual sounds

or vibrations while d riving with a

punctured run-flat tire, pull of f

the road to a safe location and

stop the vehicle a s soon as possi-

ble. The tire may be seriously

dam aged and ne ed to be replaced.

.Since the spare tire is not equipped

with the TPMS, when a spare tire is

mo unted or a wheel is replaced, the

TPMS will not function and the low

tire pressure warning light will flash

for approximately 1 minute. The light

wil l remain on after the 1 minute.

Have your tires replaced and/or

TPMS sys tem reset as soon as pos-

sible. It is recommended you visit an

INFINITI retailer for these services.

.Replacing tires with those not origin-

al ly specified by INFINITI could affect

the proper operatio n o f the TPMS.

CAUTION

.The TPMS is not a substitute for the

regular tire pressure check. Be sure to

check the tire pres sure reg ularly.

.If the vehicle is being driven at speeds

of less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the
