Repair and replacement procedure

The front air bags, side air bags, curtain and rollover 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 retailer. 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 conducting the maintenance. The ignition switch should always be in the LOCK position when working under the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
► Once a front air bag, side air bag or
curtain and rollover air bag has inflated,
the air bag module will not function
again and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner must
also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner should be replaced by
an INFINITI retailer. The air bag module
and pretensioner system cannot be
repaired.
► The front air bag, side air bag, curtain
and rollover air bag and the pretensioner
should be inspected by an INFINITI
retailer if there is any damage to the
front end or side portion of the vehicle.
► If you need to dispose of a supplemental
air bag or pretensioner or scrap the
vehicle, contact an INFINITI retailer.
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.
