SEAT BELTS PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced. INFINITI strongly encourages you and all of your passengers to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seating position includes a supplemental air bag.
WARNING ● Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child restraint. ● The seat belt should be properly adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the entire restraint system and increase the chance or severity of injury in an accident. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
● Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt. ● Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts. ● If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the ignition is turned ON with all doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the system. Have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer. ● No changes should be made to the seat belt system.
CHILD SAFETY Children need adults to help protect them. They need to be properly restrained. In addition to the general information in this manual, child safety information is available from many other sources, including doctors, teachers, government traffic safety offices, and community organizations. Every child is different, so be sure to learn the best way to transport your child.
(142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg). A booster seat should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit.

To increase your confidence in the seat belts, check the operation as follows: ● Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and restrict further belt movement. If the retractor does not lock during this check or if you have any question about seat belt operation, see an INFINITI retailer. SSS0326 SSS0687 Unfastening the seat belts Center of rear seat (Sedan) To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
WARNING ● After adjustment, release the adjustment button and try to move the shoulder belt anchor up and down to make sure it is securely fixed in position. ● The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position best for you. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the entire restraint system and increase the chance or severity of injury in an accident.
CHILD RESTRAINTS SEAT BELT EXTENDERS SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE If, because of body size or driving position, it is not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with the installed seat belts is available that can be purchased. The extender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm) of length and may be used for either the driver or front passenger seating position. See an INFINITI retailer for assistance with purchasing an extender if an extender is required.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS WARNING ● Infants and small children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint can result in serious injury or death. ● Infants and small children should never be carried on your lap. It is not possible for even the strongest adult to resist the forces of a severe accident. The child could be crushed between the adult and parts of the vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal child restraint lower anchor system, referred to as the Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren System or LATCH. Some child restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected to these lower anchors. For details, see “Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren System (LATCH)” later in this section. If you do not have a LATCH compatible child restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
LATCH lower anchor point locations The LATCH lower anchors are located at the rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. A label is attached to the seatback to help you locate the LATCH anchors. WARNING SSS0370B LATCH label location (Coupe) SSS0637 LATCH lower anchor location (Sedan) The LATCH anchor points are provided to install child restraints in the rear outboard seating positions only. Do not attempt to install a child restraint in the center position using the LATCH anchors.
SSS0643 LATCH webbing-mounted attachment Installing child restraint LATCH anchor attachments LATCH compatible child restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected to two lower anchors located at certain seating positions in your vehicle. With this system, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint. Check your child restraint for a label stating that it is compatible with LATCH.

● INFINITI recommends that the booster seat be installed in the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If you must install a booster seat in the front seat, see “BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION” later in this section. ● A booster seat must only be installed in a seating position that has a lap/shoulder belt.
LRS0455 LRS0453 LRS0464 Booster seats of various sizes are offered by several manufacturers. When selecting any booster seat, keep the following points in mind: ● Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat and seat belt system. ● Choose only a booster seat with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION WARNING INFINITI recommends that booster seats be installed in the rear seat. However, if you must install a booster seat in the front passenger seat, move the passenger’s seat to the rearmost position. CAUTION Do not use the lap/shoulder belt Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode when using a booster seat with the seat belts. Follow these steps to install a booster seat in the rear seat or in the front passenger seat: LRS0451 SSS0640 1.
LRS0454 SSS0676 Outboard position LRS0452 Front seat 4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section contains important information concerning the driver and passenger front impact supplemental air bags (INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System), front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag system, roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bag and seat belt with pretensioners.
WARNING ● The supplemental 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. 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 front seat-mounted side-impact air bags and roof-mounted 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. Seat belts with pretensioners INFINITI ADVANCED AIR BAG SYSTEM (front seats) 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 requirements under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in Canada.
SSS0807 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 sensor. If the front passenger air bag is OFF, the 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).
Status light : 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.
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 sensor (pattern sensor) is in the front passenger seat cushion and is designed to detect an occupant and objects on the seat.
retailer that your air bag is working properly, reposition the occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.

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.
CAUTION ● Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits from leaded gasoline seriously reduce the threeway catalyst’s ability to help reduce exhaust pollutants. ● 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.
Additional information ● The TPMS does not monitor the tire pressure of the spare tire. ● The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while driving). ● The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is adjusted.
Some devices and transmitters may temporarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS and cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. Some examples are: – Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies are near the vehicle. – If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle. – If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near the vehicle.
● If you decide that it is not safe to return the vehicle to the road surface based on vehicle, road or traffic conditions, gradually slow the vehicle to a stop in a safe place off the road. RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air pressure loss can also be caused by driving on underinflated tires.
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition. ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING ● Do not drive beyond the performance capability of the tires, even with AWD engaged. Accelerating quickly, sharp steering maneuvers or sudden braking may cause loss of control.
● The trunk area is not included in the operating range but the Intelligent Key may function. ● If the Intelligent Key is placed on the instrument panel, rear parcel shelf, inside the glove box or door pocket, the Intelligent Key may not function. ● If the Intelligent Key is placed near the door or window outside the vehicle, the Intelligent Key may function.
The ignition switch is equipped with an antitheft steering lock device. In order for the steering wheel to be locked, it must be turned about 1/8 of a right or left turn from the straight up position. To lock the steering wheel, shift the ignition switch to the LOCK position. To unlock the steering wheel, push the ignition switch.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE NOTE: The Intelligent Key port does not charge the Intelligent Key battery. If you see the low battery indicator in the dot matrix liquid crystal display, replace the battery as soon as possible. (See “INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Automatic Transmission (AT) model: Move the selector lever to the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position. (P is recommended.) The starter is designed not to operate unless the selector lever is in either of the above positions. Manual Transmission (MT) model: Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position.

For quick acceleration in low altitude areas or in high altitude areas [over 4,000 ft (1,219 m)]: Sedan: Gear MPH (km/h) The shift lever returns to its original position when the shift lever is moved to the N (Neutral) position.
PARKING BRAKE WARNING ● Be sure the parking brake is fully released before driving. Failure to do so can cause brake failure and lead to an accident. ● Do not release the parking brake from outside the vehicle. ● Do not use the gear shift in place of the parking brake. When parking, be sure the parking brake is fully engaged. ● Do not leave children unattended in a vehicle. They could release the parking brake and cause an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CONTROL ● on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.) ● If the cruise control system malfunctions, it will cancel automatically. The SET indicator on the dot matrix crystal display will then blink to warn the driver. ● in very windy areas ● If the engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high, the cruise control system will be canceled automatically.
To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle to the desired speed, push the SET/COAST switch and release it. (The CRUISE SET indicator will come on in the instrument panel.) Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the set speed. ● To pass another vehicle, depress the accelerator pedal. When you release the pedal, the vehicle will return to the previously set speed. ● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on winding or hilly roads.
INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC) SYSTEM (if so equipped) The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle traveling in front of you according to that vehicle’s speed (up to the set speed), or at the set speed when the road ahead is clear. The ICC function can be set to one of two cruise control modes: ● In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, a warning chime will not sound to warn you if you are too close to the vehicle ahead.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle traveling in front of you according to that vehicle’s speed (up to the set speed), or at the set speed when the road ahead is clear. With ICC, the driver can maintain the same speed as other vehicles without the constant need to adjust the set speed as you would with a normal cruise control system. SSD0604 1.
The detection range of the sensor is approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead. WARNING ● This system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a collision warning or avoidance device. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
This system will not automatically brake the vehicle to a stop. WARNING ● As there is a performance limit to the distance control function, never rely solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control system. This system does not correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather.
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode A located on the front of the uses a sensor 䊊 vehicle to detect vehicles traveling ahead. The sensor generally detects the signals returned from the reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannot detect the reflector on the vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not maintain the selected distance.
The ICC system is designed to automatically check the sensor’s operation within the limitations of the system. When the sensor is covered with dirt or obstructs, the system will automatically be canceled. If the sensor is covered with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode may not cancel and may not be able to maintain the selected following distance from the vehicle ahead.
SSD0252 The detection zone of the ICC sensor is limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle distance detection mode to maintain the selected distance from the vehicle ahead. may have to manually control the proper distance away from vehicle traveling ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detection zone due to its position within the same lane of travel.
SSD0254 SSD0253 When driving on some roads, such as winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads which are under construction, the ICC sensor may detect vehicles in a different lane, or may temporarily not detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This may cause the ICC system to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The detection of vehicles may also be affected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.) or vehicle condition.
4) DISTANCE switch: Changes the vehicle’s following distance: ● Long ● Middle ● Short 5) MAIN switch: Master switch to activate the system SSD0605 Intelligent cruise control switch The system is operated by a MAIN switch and four control switches, all mounted on the steering wheel. 1) RESUME/ACCELERATE switch: Resumes set speed or increases speed incrementally. SSD0606 Intelligent cruise control system display and indicators The display is located between the speedometer and tachometer.
5) Set vehicle speed indicator: Indicates the set vehicle speed. For Canadian models, the speed is displayed in km/h. 6) Intelligent Cruise Control system warning light (orange): The light comes on if there is a malfunction in the ICC system. SSD0607 When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, the indicators come on as illustrated to check for a burned-out bulb, and it turns off when the engine is started.
SSD0609 SSD0784 SSD0614 To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle to the desired speed, push the SET/COAST switch and release it. (Vehicle ahead detection indicator, set distance indicator and set vehicle speed indicator come on.) Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead : When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by controlling the throttle and applying the brakes to match the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The system then controls the vehicle speed based on the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver selected distance. The stoplights of the vehicle come on when braking is performed by the ICC system. When the brake operates, a noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction. SSD0610 1.
● Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed indicator will go out. If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system is in operation, the system controls the distance to that vehicle. ● Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the MAIN switch indicator and set vehicle speed indicator will go out. To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of the following methods: ● Depress the accelerator pedal.
● Push, then quickly release the SET/COAST switch. Each time you do this, the set speed will decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h for Canada). To resume the preset speed, push and release the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch. The vehicle will resume the last set cruising speed when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h). SSD0612 How to change the set distance to the vehicle ahead The distance to the vehicle ahead can be selected at any time depending on the traffic conditions.
Approach warning If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver with the chime and ICC system display. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle distance if: ● The chime sounds. ● The vehicle ahead detection and set distance indicator blink. The warning chime may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between vehicles.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage). Automatic cancellation A chime sounds under the following conditions and the control is automatically canceled.
Action to take : When the conditions listed above are no longer present, turn the system off using the Intelligent Cruise Control MAIN Switch. Turn the ICC system back on to use the system. SSD0615 SSD0616 Condition B : Condition C : When the sensor window is dirty, making it impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the ICC system is automatically canceled. When the ICC system is not operating properly, the chime sounds and the ICC system warning light (orange) will come on.
cause failure or malfunction. If the sensor is damaged due to an accident, contact an INFINITI retailer. ● Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material) or install an accessory near the sensor. This could cause failure or malfunction.
● Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode when driving under the following conditions: – when it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed – in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed – on winding or hilly roads – on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.) – in very windy areas ● Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in an accident.
When the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position, the system is also automatically turned off. To use the Intelligent Cruise Control again, quickly push and release the MAIN switch (vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode) or push and hold it (conventional cruise control mode) again to turn it on. CAUTION To avoid accidentally engaging cruise control, make sure to turn the MAIN switch off when not using the Intelligent Cruise Control system.
b) Tap the brake pedal. The SET indicator will go out. c) Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the CRUISE indicator and SET indicator will go out. To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of the following three methods: a) Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and release the SET/COAST switch. b) Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELERATE set switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you desire, release the switch. c) Push, then quickly release the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch.
BREAK-IN SCHEDULE PREVIEW FUNCTION (for Intelligent Cruise Control system equipped models) The ICC system with the preview function identifies the need to apply emergency braking by sensing the vehicle ahead in the same lane and the distance to the vehicle ahead and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before the driver depresses the brake pedal and helps improve brake response by reducing pedal free play. For more details, see “BRAKE ASSIST” later in this section.
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.
PARKING/PARKING ON HILLS CAUTION ● Do not operate the engine on a free roller when any of the wheels are raised. ● 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.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake. 2. Automatic transmission models: 4. Push the ignition switch to the OFF position. Move the selector lever to the P (Park) position. Manual transmission models: Place the shift lever in the R (Reverse) gear. When parking on an uphill grade, place the shift lever in the 1st gear. 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.
SONAR SYSTEM (if so equipped) CAUTION Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as possible to hear the tone clearly. The sonar system sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the bumper. When the “Sonar Display” key is ON, the sonar indicator will also appear in the center display. (See “SONAR INDICATOR” later in this section.) The system detects rear obstacles when the selector lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position.
The sensitivity level of the corner/center sonar can be adjusted (higher or lower) in the SONAR setting display. (See “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems” section for the “Sonar” settings.) When an object is detected, the indicator (green) appears and blinks (the tone sounds intermittently). When the vehicle moves closer to the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow and the rate of blinking increases (the rate of the tone increases).
POWER STEERING BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING 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. BRAKING PRECAUTIONS The brake system has two separate hydraulic circuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still have braking at two wheels. Vacuum assisted brakes The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering.
BRAKE ASSIST PARKING BRAKE BREAK-IN WARNING Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums/rotors are replaced, in order to assure the best braking performance. ● 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.
● The pre-pressure function ceases when the following conditions are met: ● 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. a) When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
How to handle the sensor ● When the Preview Function operates, the brake pedal may move slightly and may make a small noise. This is not a system malfunction. 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.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) WARNING ● The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a sophisticated device, but it cannot prevent accidents resulting from careless or dangerous driving techniques. It can help maintain vehicle control during braking on slippery surfaces. Remember that stopping distances on slippery surfaces will be longer than on normal surfaces even with ABS. Stopping distances may also be longer on rough, gravel or snow covered roads, or if you are using tire chains.
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. ● Controls brake pressure and engine output to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle speed (traction control function).
4 WHEEL ACTIVE STEER (4WAS) SYSTEM (if so equipped) ● 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 hanindicator dling performance, and the and indicator may flash or both lights may illuminate.
COLD WEATHER DRIVING ● The steering wheel is forcibly turned beyond its operation limits. ● The battery voltage is reduced. Repeated steering maneuvers that may activate the protection mechanism will damage the 4WAS system. WARNING The 4WAS system, although a sophisticated device, cannot prevent accidents resulting from careless or dangerous driving techniques. Ultimately the responsibility for safety of self and others rests in the hands of the driver.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT It is recommended that the following items be carried in the vehicle during winter: ● A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice and snow from the windows and wiper blades. ● A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack to give it firm support. ● A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts. ● Extra window washer fluid to refill the reservoir tank. DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE WARNING ● Allow more stopping distance under these conditions.
WARNING ● Do not use your engine block heater with an ungrounded electrical system or a 2-pronged adapter. You can be seriously injured by an electrical shock if you use an ungrounded connection. ● Disconnect and properly store the engine block heater cord before starting the engine. Damage to the cord could result in an electrical shock and can cause serious injury. ● Use a heavy-duty 3-wire, 3-pronged extension cord rated for at least 10A.

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.
SEAT BELTS Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before using air fresheners. The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT Your new INFINITI has been designed to have minimum maintenance requirements with long service intervals to save you both time and money. However, some day-to-day and regular maintenance is essential to maintain your INFINITI’s fine mechanical condition, as well as its emission and engine performance. It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that the scheduled maintenance, as well as general maintenance, is performed.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubrication frequently. straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel alignment. Lights*: Clean the headlights on a regular basis. Make sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.
restraints move up and down smoothly and that the locks (if so equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Brake fluid level*: Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir. Steering wheel: Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange noises. Engine coolant level*: Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS When performing any inspection or maintenance work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to the vehicle. The following are general precautions which should be closely observed. WARNING ● Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake securely and block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. For manual transmission models, move the shift lever to N (Neutral).

WHEELS AND TIRES If you have a flat tire, see “FLAT TIRE” in the “6. In case of emergency” section. TIRE PRESSURE Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) SDI2032 Vanity mirror light (Type A) This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated.
WARNING ● Improperly inflated tires can fail sud- denly and cause an accident. ● The Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S.S./ C.M.V.S.S. label. The vehicle weight capacity is indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label. Do not load your vehicle beyond this capacity. Overloading your vehicle may result in reduced tire life, unsafe operating conditions due to premature tire failure, or unfavorable handling characteristics and could also lead to a serious accident.
3 Original size: The size of the tires 䊊 originally installed on the vehicle at the factory. 4 Cold tire pressure: Inflate the tires 䊊 to this pressure when the tires are cold. Tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds. The recommended cold tire inflation is set by the manufacturer to provide the best balance of tire wear, vehicle handling, driveability, tire noise, etc., up to the vehicle’s GVWR.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge SDI1949 Checking the tire pressure 1. Remove the valve stem cap from the tire. 2. Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do not press too hard or force the valve stem sideways, or air will escape.

● For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet. All season tires INFINITI specifies all season tires on some models to provide good performance all year, including snowy and icy road conditions. All Season tires are identified by ALL SEASON and/or M&S (Mud and Snow) on the tire sidewall.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 80 ft-lb (108 N·m) Never install tire chains on a TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire. Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with tire chains in such conditions can cause damage to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to some overstress. The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to the specification at all times. It is recommended that wheel nuts be tightened to the specification at each tire rotation interval.
Tire rotation (Models equipped with different size tires on front and rear) Tires cannot be rotated on this vehicle, as front tires are a different size from rear tires and the direction of the wheel rotation is fixed for each tire. A pin is on the front brake rotor to prevent the rear wheels from being installed in place of the front wheels. The spare tire can be installed in place of the front and rear wheels.
● The original tires have built-in tread Replacing wheels and tires wear indicators. When wear indicators are visible, the tire(s) should be replaced. ● Tires degrade with age and use. Have tires, including the spare, over 6 years old checked by a qualified technician, because some tire damage may not be obvious. Replace the tires as necessary to prevent tire failure and possible personal injury. ● Improper service of the spare tire may result in serious personal injury.
● For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet. Wheel balance Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as required. ● The T-type spare tire should be used for emergency use.
● Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire will wear at a faster rate than the standard tire. Replace the spare tire as soon as the tread wear indicators appear. ● Do not use the spare tire on other vehicles. ● Do not use more than one spare tire at the same time. ● Do not tow a trailer when the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire is installed. CAUTION ● Do not use tire chains on a TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire. Tire chains will not fit properly and may cause damage to the vehicle.
