SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section contains important information concerning the following systems.
WARNING ● The front air bags ordinarily 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” later in this section.
● 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 as needed. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident. ● The front passenger seat is equipped with an occupant classification sensor (pattern sensor) that turns the front passenger air bag OFF under some conditions.
WARNING ● Never let children ride unrestrained or extend their hands or face out of the window. Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the illustrations. SSS0099 ● 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.
SSS0140 SSS0159 WARNING Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags: ● The side air bags and curtain air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a frontal 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.
7. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bag inflators 8. Air bag Control Unit (ACU) 9. Satellite sensors 10.

This system is designed to meet certification requirements under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in Canada.
information from the crash zone sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), the diagnosis sensor unit, seat belt buckle sensors and the occupant classification sensor (pattern sensor). Inflator operation is based on the severity of a collision and seat belt usage for the driver. For the front passenger, the occupant classification sensor is also monitored.
Status light : The front passenger air bag status light is located under the climate controls. After the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the front passenger air bag status light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns off or illuminates depending on the front passenger occupied status. The light operates as follows: is ● Unoccupied passenger seat: The OFF and the front passenger air bag is OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and children be properly restrained in a rear seat. INFINITI also recommends that appropriate child restraints and booster seats be properly installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the occupant classification sensor is designed to operate as described above to turn the front passenger air bag OFF for specified child restraints.
● 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 sensor (pattern sensor). This can affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury. ● Tampering with the air bag system may result in serious personal injury.
forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity side impact. They are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in certain side collisions on the side where the vehicle is impacted. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper side air bag and curtain air bag operation.
WARNING ● Do not place any objects near the seatback of the front seats. Also, do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door finisher and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if a side air bag inflates. ● Right after inflation, several front seatmounted side air bags and roof-mounted curtain air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself.
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 breathing condition should get fresh air promptly.
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.

AUDIO SYSTEM AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS Radio Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position and push the radio band select button to turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio with the engine not running, the ignition switch should be pushed to the ACC position. Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other external influences.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from buildings, large hills or due to antenna position, usually in conjunction with increased distance from the station transmitter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the treble setting to reduce the treble response. Multipath reception: Because of the reflective characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected signals reach the receiver at the same time.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING ● Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the support of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. They could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
● Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical systems can cause overrich fuel flow into the three-way catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance or other unusual operating conditions are detected. Have the vehicle inspected promptly by an INFINITI retailer. ● Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.
and low tire pressure is detected. The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off when the low tire pressure warning light turns off. The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning does not appear if the low tire pressure warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction. ● Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tire which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure.
● If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near the vehicle. AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLLOVER FCC Notice: Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and prudent manner may result in loss of control or an accident. For USA: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY If the right side or left side wheels unintentionally leave the road surface, maintain control of the vehicle by following the procedure below. Please note that this procedure is only a general guide. The vehicle must be driven as appropriate based on the conditions of the vehicle, road and traffic. 1. Remain calm and do not overreact. 2. Do not apply the brakes. 3.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and either contact a roadside emergency service to change the tire or see “CHANGING A FLAT TIRE” in the “6. In case of emergency” section of this Owner’s Manual. DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND DRIVING WARNING Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces coordination, delays reaction time and impairs judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of being involved in an accident injuring yourself and others.
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH ● The trunk area is not included in the operating range but the Intelligent Key may function. WARNING Do not operate the push-button ignition switch while driving the vehicle except in an emergency. (The engine will stop when the ignition switch is pushed 3 consecutive times or the ignition switch is pushed and held for more than 2 seconds.) If the engine stops while the vehicle is being driven, this could lead to a crash and serious injury.
The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition switch position cannot be switched to LOCK until the selector lever is moved to the P (Park) position. SSD1021 When the ignition switch cannot be switched toward the LOCK position, proceed as follows: 1. Move the selector lever into the P (Park) position. 2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF position. The ignition switch position indicator will not illuminate. 3. Open the door. The ignition switch will change to the LOCK position.

The LDW and LDP systems monitor the lane markers on the traveling lane using the camera 1 located inside the front map light cover.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) SYSTEM Precautions on LDW system WARNING ● This system is only a warning device to inform the driver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times. ● The system will not operate at speeds below approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers.
LDW system operation The LDW system provides a lane departure warning function when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and above. When the vehicle approaches either the left or the right side of the traveling lane, a warning chime will sound and the lane departure warning light (orange) on the instrument panel will blink to alert the driver. The warning function will stop when the vehicle returns inside of the lane markers.
When the interior temperature is reduced, the LDW system will resume operating automatically and the warning systems ON indicator will stop flashing. ● When the LDP system is operating, avoid excessive or sudden steering maneuvers. Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehicle. LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP) SYSTEM ● The LDP system will not operate at speeds below approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers.
● On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM (if so equipped) The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system can help alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. SSD1030 SSD1155 A inThe BSW system uses radar sensors 䊊 stalled near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent lane. Detection zone The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side of your vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated.
WARNING ● The BSW system is not a replacement for proper driving procedure and is not designed to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction you will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW system. ● The BSW system may not provide a warning for vehicles that pass through the detection zone quickly.
The brightness of the BSW indicator lights is adjusted automatically depending on the brightness of the ambient light. A chime sounds if the radar sensors have already detected vehicles when the driver activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after the driver activates the turn signal, then only the BSW indicator light flashes and no chime sounds.
SSD1026 BSW DRIVING SITUATIONS Another vehicle approaching from behind The BSW indicator light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from behind in an adjacent lane. However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.
SSD1033 Overtaking other vehicles The BSW indicator light illuminates if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle stays in the detection zone for approximately 3 seconds. SSD1034 If the driver activates the turn signal while another vehicle is in the detection zone, then the BSW indicator light flashes and a chime will sound twice. The radar sensors may not detect slower moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.
SSD1037 SSD1036 NOTE: Entering from the side When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first vehicle may not be detected if they are traveling close together. The BSW indicator light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from either side. NOTE: The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle which is traveling at about the same speed as your vehicle when it enters the detection zone.
ing light (orange) will blink. The BSW system is not available until the condition no longer exists. The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist or fog. The blocked condition may also be caused by objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the radar sensors. Action to take: When the above condition no longer exists, the BSW system will resume automatically.

The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system will warn the driver by a warning light and chime when your vehicle is getting close to the vehicle ahead in the traveling lane.
PRECAUTIONS ON FCW SYSTEM WARNING ● The FCW system is intended to warn you before a collision but will not avoid a collision. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times. SSD1156 Warning systems switch A The FCW system uses the distance sensor 䊊 located below the front bumper to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead.
– When abruptly decelerating. accelerating or – On a steep downhill slope or on roads with sharp curves. – When there is a highly reflective object near the vehicle ahead (i.e., being very close to another vehicle, signboard, etc.) – When you are towing a trailer. ● Depending on certain road conditions (curved or beginning of a curve), vehicle conditions (steering position or vehicle position), or the preceding vehicle’s conditions (position in lane, etc.), the system may not function properly.
INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST (IBA) SYSTEM (if so equipped) systems ON indicator light will turn off. To turn on the system, push the warning systems switch again. When the warning systems switch is pushed, the LDW BSW system will also turn on or off simultaneously. See “LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) SYSTEM” earlier in this section and “BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM” earlier in this section.
A The IBA system uses a distance sensor 䊊 located below the front bumper to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead. When the system judges that your vehicle is getting close to the vehicle ahead in the traveling lane, the vehicle ahead detection indicator light on the instrument panel blinks and a warning chime sounds. The IBA system will be turned on/off by pushing the IBA OFF switch. The IBA OFF indicator light display will illuminate when the system is turned off.
– When dense exhaust or other smoke (black smoke) from vehicles reduces the visibility of the sensor. ● The system may not function when the distance to the vehicle ahead is extremely close. – When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the luggage room of your vehicle. – When abruptly decelerating. accelerating or – On a steep downhill slope or on roads with sharp curves. – When there is a highly reflective object near the vehicle ahead (i.e.
● The system is designed to automatically check the sensor’s functionality. If the sensor is covered with ice, a transparent or translucent plastic bag, etc., the system may not detect them. In these instances the system may not be able to warn the driver properly. Be sure to check and clean the sensor regularly. ● Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard. ● Never place your foot under the brake pedal when the IBA system turns on.
BREAK-IN SCHEDULE The IBA system will remain in the last ON or OFF state it was left in until it is manually changed by pressing the IBA OFF switch. Illumination of the IBA OFF indicator light without the warning chime sound is an indication that the IBA system is temporarily unavailable.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) (if so equipped) If any malfunction occurs in the AWD system while the engine is running, the warning light will come on. The warning light may blink rapidly (about twice per second) while trying to free a stuck vehicle due to high power train oil temperature. The driving mode may change to two-wheel drive. If the warning light blinks rapidly during operation, stop the vehicle with the engine idling in a safe place immediately.
● If the warning light comes on while driving there may be a malfunction in the AWD system. Reduce the vehicle speed and have your vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible. ● If the warning light remains on after the above operation, have your vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible. ● The power train may be damaged if you continue driving with the warning light blinking.
PARKING/PARKING ON HILLS 1. Firmly apply the parking brake. 2. Move the selector lever to the P (Park) position. 3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street when parked on a sloping drive way, it is a good practice to turn the wheels as illustrated. 1 ● HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB: 䊊 Turn the wheels into the curb and move the vehicle forward until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb.
POWER STEERING BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING BRAKING PRECAUTIONS If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the steering will not work. Steering will be harder to operate. The brake system has two separate hydraulic circuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still have braking at two wheels. The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering.
BRAKE ASSIST WARNING ● While driving on a slippery surface, be careful when braking, accelerating or downshifting. Abrupt braking or accelerating could cause the wheels to skid and result in an accident. ● If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the brakes will not work. Braking will be harder.
● As there is a performance limit to the Preview Function, never rely solely on this system. This system does not correct careless inattentive or absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather. Reduce vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles.
How to handle the sensor The sensor for the Preview Function is common with Intelligent Cruise Control and is located below the front bumper. To keep the Preview Function operating properly, be sure to observe the following: ● Always keep the sensor clean. Wipe with a soft cloth carefully so as not to damage the sensor. SSD0471 Warning light and display When the Preview Function is not operating properly, the buzzer sounds and the system warning light (orange) will come on.
– For detailed information, see “WHEELS AND TIRES” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of this manual. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls the brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard braking or when braking on slippery surfaces. The system detects the rotation speed at each wheel and varies the brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheel from locking and sliding.
VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under certain driving conditions, the VDC system helps to perform the following functions. ● Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is transferred to a non slipping drive wheel on the same axle. ● The road may be slippery or the system may determine some action is required to help keep the vehicle on the steered path.
COLD WEATHER DRIVING ● Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If suspension parts such as shock absorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars, bushings and wheels are not INFINITI recommended for your vehicle or are extremely deteriorated, the VDC system may not operate properly. This could adversely affect vehicle handling performance, and the VDC warning may illuminate.
TIRE EQUIPMENT SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT SUMMER tires have a tread designed to provide superior performance on dry pavement. However, the performance of these tires will be substantially reduced in snowy and icy conditions. If you operate your vehicle on snowy or icy roads, INFINITI recommends the use of MUD & SNOW or ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels. Consult an INFINITI retailer for the tire type, size, speed rating and availability information.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so equipped) Engine block heaters are used to assist in cold temperature starting. The engine block heater should be used when the outside temperature is 20°F (⫺7°C) or lower.

CLEANING EXTERIOR In order to maintain the appearance of your vehicle, it is important to take proper care of it. To protect the paint surface, wash your vehicle as soon as you can: ● after a rainfall to prevent possible damage from acid rain ● after driving on coastal roads ● when contaminants such as soot, bird droppings, tree sap, metal particles or bugs get on the paint surface ● when dust or mud builds up on the surface Whenever possible, store or park your vehicle inside a garage or in a covered area.
REMOVING SPOTS Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible from the paint surface to avoid lasting damage or staining. Special cleaning products are available at an INFINITI retailer or any automotive accessory stores. UNDERBODY In areas where road salt is used in winter, the underbody must be cleaned regularly. This will prevent dirt and salt from building up and causing the acceleration of corrosion on the underbody and suspension.
CLEANING INTERIOR TIRE DRESSING INFINITI does not recommend the use of tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to the tires to help reduce discoloration of the rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it may react with the coating and form a compound. This compound may come off the tire while driving and stain the vehicle paint. If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the following precautions: ● Use a water-based tire dressing.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before using air fresheners. FLOOR MATS WARNING To avoid potential pedal interference that may result in a collision or injury: ● NEVER place a floor mat on top of another floor mat in the driver front position. ● Use only genuine NISSAN floor mats specifically designed for use in your vehicle model. See your INFINITI retailer for more information. ● Properly position the mats in the floorwell using the floor mat positioning aid.
CORROSION PROTECTION WARNING Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye, or chemical solvents to clean the seat belts, since these materials may severely weaken the seat belt webbing. MOST COMMON FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE CORROSION ● The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt and debris in body panel sections, cavities, and other areas. ● Damage to paint and other protective coatings caused by gravel and stone chips or minor traffic accidents.
CAUTION ● NEVER remove dirt, sand or other debris from the passenger compartment by washing it out with a hose. Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner. ● Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them. Chemicals used for road surface deicing are extremely corrosive. They accelerate corrosion and deterioration of underbody components such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders.

EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR) This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
