WARNING If the supplemental air bag warning light is on, it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain and rollover air bag and/or pretensioner systems will not operate in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have you vehicle checked by an INFINITI dealer as soon as possible. WARNING ● Once a front air bag, side air bag or curtain and rollover air bags have 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 should be replaced by an INFINITI dealer. The air bag module and pretensioner cannot be repaired. ● The front air bag, side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag systems and the pretensioner system should be inspected by an INFINITI dealer if there is any damage to the front end or side portion of the vehicle. ● If you need to dispose a supplemental air bag or pretensioner or scrap the vehicle, contact an INFINITI dealer. Correct supplemental air bag and pretensioner system disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate INFINITI Service Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury. Repair and replacement procedure The front air bags, side air bags, curtain and rollover air bags and pretensioners are designed to inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light remains illuminated after inflation has occurred. Repair and replacement of these supplemental air bag 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 and rollover air bags, pretensioners and related parts should be pointed out to the person performing the maintenance. The ignition key should always be in the LOCK position when working under the hood or inside the vehicle. 1-64 Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
