1-52 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
and rear outboard seating positions. 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 and passenger 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. In a rollover, the
curtain air bags on both sides are designed
to inflate. Under both side-impact situa-
tions, the curtain 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 position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The air bag warning
light will turn off after about 7 seconds if
the systems are 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.)
between the front door finisher and the
front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if
side air bag inflates.
. Right after inflation, several side air
bags and curtain air bag system compo-
nents will be hot. Do not touch them; you
may severely burn yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
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, suspen-
sion 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 seatback or
by installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side air
bags.
. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for work on and around the side
air bag and curtain air bag. It is also
recommended you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for installation of electrical equip-
ment. The Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) wiring harnesses* should
not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on
the side-impact air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors
are yellow and orange for easy
identification.
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.
