SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag light, displaying
‘‘AIR BAG’’ in the instrument panel, monitors
the circuits of the supplemental air bag. The
circuits monitored by the supplemental air bag
light are the diagnosis sensor unit, supple-
mental air bag modules and all related wiring.
When the ignition key is in the ‘‘ON’’ or
‘‘START’’ position, the supplemental air bag
light will illuminate for about 7 seconds and
then turn off. This means the system is
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental air bag system needs servicing
and should be taken to your nearest autho-
rized INFINITI dealer.
1. The supplemental air bag light goes off
within 7 seconds.
2. The supplemental air bag light flashes
intermittently or remains on (after 7 sec-
onds).
3. The supplemental air bag light does not
come on at all.
Under these conditions, the Supplemental
Restraint System Air Bag may not operate
properly. It must be checked and repaired.
Take your vehicle to the nearest authorized
INFINITI dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the
supplemental air bag will not oper-
ate in an accident.
Repair and replacement proce-
dure
The supplemental air bag system is designed
to inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a
reminder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag light will remain illuminated
after inflation has occurred. Repair and re-
placement of the supplemental air bag system
should be done only by authorized INFINITI
dealers.
To ensure long-term functioning, the
system must be inspected 10 years
after the date of manufacture noted on
the certification label located on the
SIP0149
