occupant are properly positioned, the system may be sensing an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is OFF). Your INFINITI dealer can check that the system is OFF by using a special tool. However, until you have confirmed with your dealer that your air bag is working properly, reposition the occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System and passenger air bag status light will take a few seconds to register a change in the passenger seat status. However, if the seat becomes unoccupied, the air bag status light will remain off.

If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air bag system, the supplemen-

tal air bag warning light , located in the meter and gauges area will blink. Have the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.

Other supplemental front-impact air bag precautions

WARNING

.Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instrument panel. Also, do not place any objects between any occupant and the steering wheel or instrument panel. Such objects may

become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the front air bag inflates.

.Do not place objects with sharp edges on the seat. Also, do not place heavy objects on the seat that will leave permanent impressions in the seat. Such objects can damage the seat or occupant classification sensors (weight sensors). This can affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.

.Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the seat or occupant classifica- tion sensors. This can also affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.

.Immediately after inflation, several front 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 the supplemental air bag system. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the supplemental air bag or damage to the supplemental air bag system.

. Do not make unauthorized changes to

your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen- sion system or front end structure. This could affect proper operation of the front air bag system.

.Tampering with the air bag system may result in serious personal injury. Tam- pering includes changes to the steering wheel and the instrument panel assem- bly by placing material over the steering wheel pad and above the instrument panel or by installing additional trim material around the air bag system.

.Modifying or tampering with the front passenger seat may result in serious personal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material on the seat cushion or by installing additional trim material, such as seat covers, on the seat that is not specifically designed to assure proper air bag operation. Additionally, do not stow any objects under the front pas- senger seat or the seat cushion and seatback. Such objects may interfere with the proper operation of the occu- pant classification sensors.

.No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the seat belt system. This may affect the
