WARNING

.The front air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower severity fron- tal collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents.

.The front passenger air bag will not inflate if the passenger air bag status light is lit or if the front passenger seat is unoccupied. See Front passenger air bag and status lightlater in this section.

.The seat belts and the front air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat. The front air bags inflate with great force. Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System, if you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting sideways or out of position in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the front air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. Always sit back against the seatback and as far- away as practical from the steering wheel or instrument panel. Always use

the seat belts.

.The driver and front passenger seat belt buckles are equipped with sensors that detect if the seat belts are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag System monitors the severity of a collision and seat belt usage then inflates the air bags. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.

. The front passenger seat is equipped

 

with occupant classification sensors

 

(weight sensors) that turn the front

passenger air bag OFF under some

 

conditions. This sensor is only used in

 

this seat. Failure to be properly seated

 

and wearing the seat belt can increase

 

the risk or severity of injury in an

 

accident. See Front passenger air bag

 

and status lightlater in this section.

 

. Keep hands on the outside of the

 

steering wheel. Placing them inside

 

the steering wheel rim could increase

 

the risk of injury if the supplemental

 

front air bag inflates.
