Owner's Manual

1-68 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
impact and rollover situations, the curtain
air bags will remain inflated for a short
period of time.
The side air bags and curtain and rollover
air bags operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The air bag warning
light will turn off after about 7 seconds if
the systems are operational.
WARNING
. Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella, bag,
etc.) between the front door finisher and
the front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if
side air bag inflates.
. Right after inflation, several side air
bags and curtain and rollover air bag
system components will be hot. Do not
touch them; you may severely burn
yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
side air bag and curtain and rollover air
bags. This is to prevent damage to or
accidental inflation of the side air bag
and curtain and rollover air bag systems.
. Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-
sion system or side panel. This could
affect proper operation of the side air
bag and curtain and rollover air bag
systems.
. Tampering with the air bag system may
result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front seats
by placing material near the seatback or
by installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side air
bags.
. Removing or modifying the front pas-
senger seat may affect the function of
the air bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
. Work around and on the side air bag and
curtain and rollover air bag systems
should be done by an INFINITI retailer.
Installation of electrical equipment
should also be done by an INFINITI
retailer. The Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) wiring harnesses* should
not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on
the side-impact air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors
are yellow and orange for easy
identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the side air bag
and curtain and rollover air bag systems
and guide the buyer to the appropriate
sections in this Owner’s Manual.
