The pretensioner system activates in con-
junction with the front air bag system.
Working with the seat belt retractor, it
helps tighten the seat belt when the ve-
hicle becomes involved in certain types of
collisions, helping to restrain front seat
occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat
belt retractor. These seat belts are used
in the same way as conventional seat
belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is
released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is not harmful 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 breath-
ing condition should get fresh air
promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the
chest.
If any abnormality occurs in the preten-
sioner system, the supplemental air bag
warning light
will not come on, will
flash intermittently or will turn on for 7
seconds and remain on after the ignition
switch has been turned to the ON or
START position. In this case, the preten-
sioner may not function properly. They
must be checked and repaired. Take your
vehicle to an INFINITI dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request
that you inform the buyer about the pre-
tensioner system and guide the buyer to
the appropriate sections in this Owner’s
Manual.
