on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when
the booster seat is removed. See “Head
restraints/headrests” (P.1-13) for head
restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or a headrest

and it is interfering with the proper
booster seat fit, try another seating
position or a different booster seat.

4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt

low and snug on the child’s hips. Be
sure to follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for adjusting the
seat belt routing.

5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the

seat belt toward the retractor to take up
extra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the top, middle por-
tion of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the seat belt
routing.

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information
concerning the following systems.

.

Driver and passenger supplemental

front-impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced
Air Bag System)

.

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bag

.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and

rollover supplemental air bag

.

Seat belt with pretensioner

Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head
and chest of the driver and front passenger
in certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can
help cushion the impact force to the chest
and pelvis area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side impact collisions.
The supplemental side air bag is designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system: This

system can help cushion the impact force
to the head of occupants in front and rear
(2nd and 3rd) outboard seating positions
in certain side impact or rollover collisions.
In a side impact, the curtain air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, the
curtain air bags on both sides are designed
to inflate. Under both side-impact and
rollover situations, the curtain air bags will
remain inflated for a short period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to supplement the crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and passenger
seat belts and are not a substitute for
them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a
suitable distance away from the steering
wheel, instrument panel and door fin-
ishers. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-19) for
instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental air
bag warning light will turn off after about 7

seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING

.

The supplemental front air bags ordina-
rily will not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower
severity frontal 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 light” (P.1-62).

.

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 light” (P.1-62).

.

Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could increase the
risk of injury if the front air bag inflates.

your lap or arms. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in
the illustrations.

.

Children may be severely injured or
killed when the front air bags, side air
bags or curtain air bags inflate if they are
not properly restrained. Pre-teens and
children should be properly restrained in
the rear seat, if possible.

.

Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System, never install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat. An inflating
front air bag could seriously injure or kill
your child. See “Child restraints” (P.1-
32) for details.

WARNING

Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air bags:

.

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

.

The curtain side-impact and rollover

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

.

The seat belts, the side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat. The side air bags and curtain air
bags inflate with great force. Do not
allow anyone to place their hand, leg or
face near the side air bags on the side of
the seatback of the front seat or near the
side roof rails. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seats or rear outboard
seats to extend their hand out of the
window or lean against the door. Some
examples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the previous illustrations.

.

When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seat. If the
side air bag inflates, you may be
seriously injured. Be especially careful
with children, who should always be
properly restrained. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in
the illustrations.

WARNING

To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s advanced air bag system, please
observe the following items.

.

Do not allow a passenger in the rear seat
to push or pull on the seatback pocket.

.

Do not place heavy loads heavier than 9
lbs. (4 kg) on the seatback, head
restraint or in the seatback pocket.

.

Do not store cargo behind the seat that
can press into the seatback.

.

Do not position the front passenger seat
so it contacts the rear seat. If the front
seat does contact the rear seat, the air
bag system may determine a sensor
malfunction has occurred and the front
passenger air bag status light may

Condition:

(83,1)

illuminate and the supplemental air bag
warning light may flash.

.

If a forward facing child restraint is
installed in the front passenger seat,
do not position the front passenger seat
so the child restraint contacts the
instrument panel. If the child restraint
does contact the instrument panel, the
system may determine the seat is
occupied and the passenger air bag
may deploy in a collision. Also the front
passenger air bag status light may not
illuminate. See “Child restraints” (P.1-
32) for information about installing and
using child restraints.

.

Confirm the operating condition with the
front passenger air bag status light.

.

If you notice that the front passenger air
bag status light is not operating in
accordance with the above description,
it is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer to check the passenger seat
advanced air bag system.

.

Until you have confirmed with your
retailer that your passenger seat ad-
vanced air bag is working properly,
position the occupants in the rear seat-
ing positions.

This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is
designed to meet certification require-
ments under U.S. regulations. It is also
permitted in Canada. All of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this manual
apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the steering
wheel. The passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag is mounted in the instru-
ment panel above the glove box. The front
air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. They may not
inflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle
damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper front air bag operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the Air bag
Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle sen-
sors and the occupant classification sen-
sors (weight sensors). Inflator operation is
based on the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage for the driver. For the front
passenger, the occupant classification

sensors are also monitored. Based on
information from the sensors, only one
front air bag may inflate in a crash,
depending on the crash severity and
whether the front occupants are belted or
unbelted. Additionally, the front passenger
air bag may be automatically turned OFF
under some conditions, depending on the
information provided by the occupant
classification sensors. If the front passen-
ger air bag is OFF, the front passenger air
bag status light will be illuminated (if the
seat is unoccupied, the light will not be
illuminated, but the air bag will be off).
(See “Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P.1-62) for further details.) One front
air bag inflating does not indicate improper
performance of the system.
If you have any questions about your air
bag system, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a
disability, you may also contact INFINITI.
Contact information is contained in the
front of this Owner’s Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, 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.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the head and chest of the front occupants.
They can help save lives and reduce
serious injuries. However, an inflating front
air bag may cause facial abrasions or other
injuries. Front air bags do not provide
restraint to the lower body.
Even with INFINITI advanced air bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far
as practical away from the steering wheel
or instrument panel. The front air bags
inflate quickly in order to help protect the
front occupants. Because of this, the force
of the front air bag inflating can increase
the risk of injury if the occupant is too close
to, or is against, the air bag module during
inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a
collision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental air
bag warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. Read this section carefully to learn
how it operates. Proper use of the seat, seat
belt and child restraints is necessary for
most effective protection. Failure to follow
all instructions in this manual concerning
the use of seats, seat belts and child
restraints can increase the risk or severity

Condition:

of injury in an accident.

Status light:
The front passenger seat is equipped with
the occupant classification sensors (weight
sensors) that turn the front passenger air
bag on or off depending on the weight
applied to the front passenger seat. The
status of the front passenger air bag (ON or
OFF) is indicated by the front passenger air
bag status light

which is located on the

instrument panel. After the ignition switch
is placed in the "ON" position, the front
passenger air bag status light on the
instrument panel illuminates for about 7
seconds and then turns off or illuminates
depending on the front passenger seat
occupied status.
The light operates as follows:
.

Unoccupied passenger seat: The

light is OFF and the front passenger air
bag is OFF and will not inflate in a
crash.

.

Passenger seat occupied by a small

adult, child or child restraint as out-
lined in this section: The

light

illuminates to indicate that the front
passenger air bag is OFF and will not

inflate in a crash.

.

Occupied passenger seat and the pas-

senger meets the conditions outlined in
this section: The

light is OFF to

indicate that the front passenger air
bag is operational.

In addition to the above, certain objects
placed on the front passenger seat may
also cause the light to operate as de-
scribed above depending on their weight.
For additional information related to the
normal operation and troubleshooting of
this occupant classification sensor system,
please refer to “Normal operation” (P.1-64)
and “Troubleshooting” (P.1-65) in this
section.
Front passenger air bag:
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as de-
scribed below as permitted by U.S. regula-
tions. If the front passenger air bag is OFF,
it will not inflate in a crash. The driver air
bag and other air bags in your vehicle are
not part of this system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help
reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger

seat occupants, such as children, by
requiring the air bag to be automatically
turned OFF.
The occupant classification sensors
(weight sensors) are on the seat cushion
frame under the front passenger seat and
are designed to detect an occupant and
objects on the seat. For example, if a child
is in the front passenger seat, the Ad-
vanced Air Bag System is designed to turn
the passenger air bag OFF in accordance
with the regulations. Also, if a child
restraint of the type specified in the
regulations is on the seat, the occupant
classification sensors can detect it and
cause the air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who
are properly seated and using the seat belt
as outlined in this manual should not
cause the passenger air bag to be auto-
matically turned OFF. For small adults it
may be turned OFF, however, if the
occupant does not sit in the seat properly
(for example, by not sitting upright, by
sitting on an edge of the seat, or by
otherwise being out of position), this could
cause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF.
Always be sure to be seated and wearing
the seat belt properly for the most effective

protection by the seat belt and supple-
mental air bag.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear
seat. INFINITI also recommends that appro-
priate child restraints and booster seats be
properly installed in a rear seat. If this is
not possible, the occupant classification
sensors are designed to operate as de-
scribed above to turn the front passenger
air bag OFF for specified child restraints.
Failing to properly secure child restrains
and to use the ALR mode may allow the
restraint to tip or move in an accident or
sudden stop. This can also result in the
passenger air bag inflating in a crash
instead of being OFF. (See “Child re-
straints” (P.1-32) for proper use and
installation.)
If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the passenger air bag is designed not to
inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects
placed on the seat could result in air bag
inflation, because of the object being
detected by the occupant classification
sensors. Other conditions could also result
in air bag inflation, such as if a child is
standing on the seat, or if two children are
on the seat, contrary to the instructions in

this manual. Always be sure that you and
all vehicle occupants are seated and
restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status
light, you can monitor when the front
passenger air bag is automatically turned
OFF with the seat occupied. The light will
not illuminate when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
front passenger air bag status light is
illuminated (indicating that the air bag is
OFF), it could be that the person is a small
adult, or is not sitting on the seat properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front
seat, the front passenger air bag status
light may or may not be illuminated,
depending on the size of the child and
the type of child restraint being used. If the
front passenger air bag status light is not
illuminated (indicating that the air bag
might inflate in a crash), it could be that
the child restraint or seat belt is not being
used properly. Make sure that the child
restraint is installed properly, the seat belt
is used properly and the occupant is
positioned properly. If the front passenger
air bag status light is still not illuminated,
reposition the occupant or child restraint in

a rear seat.
If the front passenger air bag status light
will not illuminate even though you believe
that the child restraint, the seat belts and
the occupant are properly positioned, the
system may be sensing an unoccupied seat
(in which case the air bag is OFF). Your
INFINITI retailer can check that the system
is OFF by using a special tool. However,
until you have confirmed with your retailer
that your air bag is working properly,
reposition the occupant or child restraint
in a rear seat.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System and
front 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 pas-
senger air bag system, the supplemental
air bag warning light

, located in the

meter and gauges area will blink. Have the
system checked. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

sensor system to classify the front passen-

Condition:

(87,1)

Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX80(Z62) OM17E00Z62U0 ]

ger based on weight, please follow the
precautions and steps outlined below:
Precautions:
.

Make sure that there are no objects

weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg) hanging on
the seat or placed in the seatback
pocket.

.

Make sure that a child restraint or other

object is not pressing against the rear
of the seatback.

.

Make sure that a rear passenger is not

pushing or pulling on the back of the
front passenger seat.

.

Make sure that the front passenger seat

or seatback is not forced back against
an object on the seat or floor behind it.

.

Make sure that there is no object placed

under the front passenger seat.

Steps:
1. Adjust the seat as outlined. (See

“Seats” (P.1-3).) Sit upright, leaning
against the seatback, and centered on
the seat cushion with your feet comfor-
tably extended to the floor.

2. Make sure there are no objects on your

lap.

3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined. (See

“Seat belts” (P.1-19).)

4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds

allowing the system to classify the front
passenger before the vehicle is put into
motion.

5. Ensure proper classification by check-

ing the front passenger air bag status
light.

NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sen-
sor system locks the classification during
driving so it is important that you confirm
that the front passenger is properly
classified prior to driving. Also, the occu-
pant classification sensor system may
recalculate the weight of the occupant
when the vehicle comes to a stop (i.e. stop
light, stop sign, etc.), so the front passen-
ger seat occupant should continue to
remain seated as outlined above.
Troubleshooting:
If you think the front passenger air bag
status light is incorrect:

1.

If the light is ON with no front
passenger and no objects on the front
passenger seat:

This may be due to the following conditions
that may be interfering with the weight

sensors:
.

An object weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg)

hanging on the seat or placed in the
seatback pocket.

.

A child restraint or other object pressing

against the rear of the seatback.

.

A rear passenger pushing or pulling on

the back of the front passenger seat.

.

Forcing the front seat or seatback

against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.

.

An object placed under the front pas-

senger seat.

.

An object placed between the seat

cushion and center console or between
the seat cushion and the door.

If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions. Restart
the vehicle and wait 1 minute.

NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still ON after this, it is
recommended that the vehicle be checked
by an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.

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 bags inflate.

.

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 perso-
nal 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. Tamper-
ing 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.

.

Removing or modifying the front pas-
senger seat may affect the function of
the air bag system and result in serious
personal injury.

.

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

.

No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the seat belt system. This may affect the
front air bag system. Tampering with the
seat belt system may result in serious
personal injury.

.

It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for work on and around the front
air bag. It is also recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for installation of
