Work on and around the front air bag system
should be done by an INFINITI retailer. Instal-
lation of electrical equipment should also be
done by an INFINITI retailer. The Supplemen-
tal Restraint System (SRS) wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or discon-
nected.
Unauthorized
electrical

equipment and probing devices should not
be used on the air bag system.

A cracked windshield should be replaced im-
mediately by a qualified repair facility. A
cracked windshield could affect the function
of the supplemental air bag system.

The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-

When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the front air bag system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND
ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-
IMPACT AND ROLLOVER
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain and
rollover air bags are located in the side roof
rails. These systems are designed to meet
voluntary guidelines to help reduce the risk of
injury to out-of-position occupants.
However, all
of the information, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.
The
side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags
are designed to inflate in higher severity side
collisions, although they may inflate if the
forces in another type of collision are similar to
those of a higher severity side impact. They are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in
certain side collisions on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. Curtain and rollover air
bags are also designed to inflate in certain
types of rollover collisions or near rollovers.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain
and rollover air bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain and rollover
air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by release of smoke. This
smoke is not harmful and 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.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
and pelvic area of the front occupants. Curtain
and rollover air bags help to cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in the front and
rear outboard seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. However,
side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags
may cause abrasions or other injuries. Side air
