SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displaying
in the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits for the air bag
systems, pretensioners and all related
wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off. This means the system is
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain and
rollover air bag and pretensioner systems
need servicing:
. The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 sec-
onds.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag,
side air bags, and curtain and rollover air
bags or pretensioner systems may not
operate properly. They must be checked
and repaired. Take your vehicle to the
nearest INFINITI retailer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is
on, it could mean that the front air bag, side
air bag, curtain and rollover air bag and/or
pretensioner systems will not operate in an
accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or
others, have your vehicle checked by a
retailer as soon as possible.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PROCE-
DURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain
and rollover air bags and pretensioners are
designed to activate on a one-time-only
basis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged,
the supplemental air bag warning light will
remain illuminated after inflation has
occurred. Repair and replacement of these
systems should be done only by an INFINITI
retailer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags,
curtain and rollover air bags, pretensioners
and related parts should be pointed out to
the person conducting the maintenance.
The ignition switch should always be in the
LOCK position when working under the
hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
. Once a front air bag, side air bag or
curtain and rollover air bag has inflated,
the air bag module will not function
again and must be replaced. Addition-
ally, the activated pretensioner must
also be replaced. The air bag module
