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 air bag and pretensioner systems need servicing: ● The supplemental air bag warning light remains on approximately 7 seconds after the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position. ● The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently. SPA1097 REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE The front air bags, side air bags, curtain 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 dealer. When maintenance work is required on the vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain 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. SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT The supplemental air bag warning light, displaying in the instrument panel, monitors the circuits of the supplemental frontimpact air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag, roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bag, and seat belt pretensioner systems. The circuits monitored by the supplemental air bag warning light are the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), satellite sensors, crash zone sensor, front air bag modules, side air bag modules, curtain air bag modules, pretensioners and all related wiring. ● The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all. Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air bags, and curtain air bags or pretensioner systems may not operate properly. They must be checked and repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest INFINITI dealer. WARNING ● Once a front air bag, side air bag or curtain air bag has inflated, the air bag module will not function again and must be replaced. Additionally, if any of the front air bags inflate, the activated pretensioners must also be replaced. The air bag module and pretensioner system should be replaced by an INFINITI dealer. The air bag module and pretensioner system cannot be repaired. WARNING If the supplemental air bag warning light is on, it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain 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 dealer as soon as possible. 1-50 Safety - Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
