WARNING
●
The front air bags ordinarily will not inflate in
the event of a side impact, rear impact, roll-
over, or lower severity frontal collision. Al-
ways 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 inflate if
the passenger air bag status light is lit or if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
later in this section.
●
The seat belts and the front air bags are most
effective when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat with both feet on the
floor. The front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the INFINITI advanced air
bag system, if you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of position
in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also receive seri-
ous or fatal injuries from the front air bag if
you are up against it when it inflates. Always
sit back against the seatback and as far-
away as practical from the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Always use the seat belts.
●
The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that de-
tect if the seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors the severity
of a collision and seat belt usage then in-
flates the air bags. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
●
The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensor (pressure
sensor) that turns the front passenger air
bag OFF under some conditions. This sensor
is only used in this seat. Failure to be prop-
erly seated and wearing the seat belt can
increase the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. See “Front passenger air bag and
status light” later in this section.
●
Keep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel. Placing them inside the steering
wheel rim could increase the risk that they
are injured when the supplemental front air
bag inflates.
