stalled properly, the seat belt is used
properly and the occupant is positioned
properly. If the air bag status light is still
not illuminated, reposition the occupant
or child restraint in a rear seat.
If the passenger air bag status light will
not illuminate even though you believe
that the child restraint, the belts and the
occupant are properly positioned, the
system may be sensing an unoccupied
seat (in which case the air bag is OFF).
Your INFINITI dealer can check that the
system is OFF by using a special tool.
However, until you have confirmed with
your dealer that your air bag is working
properly, reposition the occupant or child
restraint in a rear seat.
The INFINITI advanced air bag system and
passenger air bag status light will take a
few seconds to register a change in the
passenger seat status. For example, if a
large adult who is sitting in the front pas-
senger seat exits the vehicle, the passen-
ger air bag status light will change from
OFF to ON for a few seconds and then to
OFF. This is normal system operation and
does not indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front pas-
senger air bag system, the supplemental
air bag warning light
, located in the
meter and gauges area, will blink. Have
the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.
Other supplemental front air bag
precautions
WARNING
O
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel pad or on the instrument panel.
Also, do not place any objects between
any occupant and the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Such objects may be-
come dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the supplemental front air bag
inflates.
O
Immediately after inflation, several front
air bag system components will be hot.
Do not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
O
No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
supplemental air bag system. This is to
prevent accidental inflation of the
supplemental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
O
Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-
sion system or front end structure. This
could affect proper operation of the
supplemental air bag system.
O
Tampering with the supplemental front
air bag system may result in serious per-
sonal
injury.
Tampering
includes
changes to the steering wheel and the
instrument panel assembly by placing
material over the steering wheel pad and
above the instrument panel or by install-
ing additional trim material around the
air bag system.
O
Modifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing mate-
rial on the seat cushion or by installing
additional trim material, such as seat
covers, on the seat that are not specifi-
cally designed to assure proper air bag
operation. Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passenger seat
or the seat cushion and seatback. Such
