both curtain air bags are designed to in-
flate and remain inflated for a short period
of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to
supplement
the crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and passenger
seat belts and are
not a substitute
for
them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a
suitable distance away from the steering
wheel, instrument panel and door fin-

section for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON posi-

After turning the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
after about 7 seconds if the systems are
operational.

wear your seat belts to help reduce the
risk or severity of injury in various kinds
of accidents.

The front passenger air bag will not in-
flate if the passenger air bag status light
is lit or if the front passenger seat is un-
occupied. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.

front air bags are most effective when

great force. Even with the INFINITI Ad-
vanced Air Bag System, if you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting side-
ways or out of position in any way, you
