If you need to dispose of a pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, contact an INFINITI dealer.
Correct pretensioner disposal procedures
are set forth in the appropriate INFINITI Ser-
vice Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system activates in conjunc-
tion with the front air bag system. Working with
the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat
belt when the vehicle 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 the same
way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. The
smoke is not harmful, and it 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 breathing condition should get
fresh air promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters al-
low the seat belt to release webbing (if neces-
sary) to reduce forces against the chest.
If any abnormality occurs in the pretensioner
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 pushed to the ON
position. In this case, the pretensioner may not
function properly. They must be checked and
repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest
INFINITI dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pretensioner system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
