Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.
If the vehicle becomes involved in a
collision but a pretensioner is not
activated, be sure to have the preten-
sioner system checked and, if necessary,
replaced. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
.
No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the pretensioner system. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental activa-
tion of the pretensioners. Tampering
with the pretensioner system may result
in serious personal injury.
.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for work on and around the
pretensioner system. It is also recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
installation of electrical equipment. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on
the pretensioner system.
.
If you need to dispose of the preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. Correct pretensioner dispo-
sal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate INFINITI Service Instruction.
Incorrect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain
types of collisions. Working with the seat
belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt
when the vehicle becomes involved in
certain types of collisions, helping to
restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat
belt retractor. These seat belts are used the
same way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is
released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is not harmful, and it 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 breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the
chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is used to indicate malfunctions in the
pretensioner system. (See “Supplemental
air bag warning light” (P.1-55) for more
details.) If the operation of the supple-
mental air bag warning light indicates
there is a malfunction, have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the preten-
sioner system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-
ual.
