operated undersome conditions as described below as permitted by U.S. regulations. 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 risk of injury or death from an inflating airbag to certain front passenger seat occupants, such as children, by requiring the airbag to be automatically turned off.

The occupant classification sensors (weightsensors) are on these at cushion frame under the front passenger seat and are designed to detect an occupant and object on these. For example, if a child is in the front passenger seat, the Advanced Air Bag System is designed to turn the passenger air bag Off in accordance with the regulations. Also, if a child restraint of the types specified in the regulations is on these, the occupant classification sensors can detect it and cause the air bag to turn OFF.

Frontpassengerseatadultoccupantswho areproperlyseatedandusingtheseatbelt asoutlinedinthismanualshouldnot causethepassengerairbagtobeauto-

Forsmalladultsit may be returnedOFF, however, if the occupant does not sit in theseat properly (forexample, bynotsittingupright, by sittingonanedgeoftheseat, orby otherwise being out of position), this could cause the sense to turn their airbag OFF. Always besuretobeseated and wearing these at belt properly for them most effective protection by these at belt and supplement alairbag.

Alwaysbesurethatyouand allvehicleoccupantsareseatedand restrainedproperly.

Using the 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.

Makesure that the child restraint is installed properly, these belt is used properly and the occupant is positioned properly. If the passenger air bag status light is still illuminated, reposition the occupant or child restraint in are seat. If the passenger air bag status light will not illuminate event though you believe that the child restraint, these belts and the occupant are properly positioned, the system may besensing an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is OFF).

AUTOMATICDRIVEPOSITIONER(ifso equipped)

The automatic drive positionersystem has two features:

-Entry/exitfunction

■Memorystorage

ENTRY/EXITFUNCTION

This system is designed so that the driver's seat and steering column will automatically move when the shift lever is in the P (Park) position. This allows the driver to get into and out of the driver's seat more easily.

The driver's seat will slide backward and the steering wheel will move up when the driver's door is opened with the ignition switch in the LOCK position.

The driver's seat and steering wheel will return to the previous positions when the ignition switch is pushed to the ACC position.

The driver's seat will not return to the previous positions if theseator steering adjusting switch is operated when theseat is at the exit position.

Cancel or activate entry/exit function

All the following conditions must be met before cancelling or activating the entry/ exitfunction.

●Theignitionswitchisplacedinthe LOCKposition.

●Theentry/exitfunctionisnotinoperation.

TIREPRESSUREMONITORING SYSTEM(TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltalewhenone or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltaleilluminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire treadlife, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

If the vehicle is being driven with one or moreflattires,thelowtirepressure warning light will illuminate continuously andachimewillsoundfor10seconds.The flattirewarningwillalsoappearinthe vehicleinformationdisplay.Thechimewill onlysoundatthefirstindicationaflat tire, and the warning light will illuminate continuously.Whentheflattirewarningis activated, have the system reset and the tirecheckedandreplacedifnecessarby anINFINITiretail.Evenithetireis inflatedtothespecifiedCOLDtirepres-sure, the warninglightwill continueto

WARNING

Neverdriveundertheinfluenceofalcoholor drugs. Alcoholinthebloodstreamreduces coordination, delaysreactiontimeandimpairsjudgement. Drivingafterdrinking alcoholincreasesthelikelihoodofbeing involved in accident injurying yourself and others. Additionally, if you are injured in an accident, alcohol can increase the severity of their injury.

INFINITliscommittedtosafedriving. However, you must choose nottodrive under the influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are injured or killed in alcohol-related accidents. Although the callaws vary on what is considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact that alcohol affects all peopled differently and most people underestimate the effect of alcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving don't mix! And that ist rue for drugs, too (over-the-counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).

Shiftrangesupordownonebyoneas follows:

7^M (7th):

Use this position for all normal forward driving a t highway speeds.

6^M (6th) and 5^M (5th):

Use these positions when driving up long slopes, or for engine braking when driving

downlongslopes.

4^M (4th), 3^M (3rd) and 2^M (2nd):

Use these positions for hill climbing or engine braking on downhill grades.

1 ^M (1st):

Use this position when climbing steep hills slowly or driving slowly through deep snow, or maximum engine braking on steepdownhill grades.

- Remembernottodriveathighspeeds forextendedperiodsoftimeinlower than7thgear. Thisreducesfueleconomy.

- Movingtheshiftleverrapidlytothe samesidetwicewillshifttherangesin succession.

•Inthemanualshiftmode, the transmission may not shift to these selected gear or may automatically shift to the other gear. This helps maintain driving performance and reduce the chance of vehicle damage or loss of control.

- When the transmission does not shift to the selected gear, the Automatic Transmission (AT) position indicator (in the vehicle information display) will blink and the buzzer will sound.

•Inthemanualshiftmode, the transmission automatically shifts downto1st gear before the vehicle comestoa stop. When accelerating again, it is necessary to shift up to the desired range.

Fail-safe

Whenthefail-safeoperationoccurs, note that the transmission will be locked in any of the forward gears according to the condition.

If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions, such as excessive wheelspinning and subsequent hard braking, the fall safesystem maybe activated. This will occur even if a electrical circuit are functioning properly. In this case, push the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait for seconds. Then push the ignition switch back to the ON position. The vehicle should return to its normal operating condition. If it does not return to its

AdaptiveShiftControl(ASC)

The adaptiveshift control system automatically operates when the transmission is in the D(Drive) position and selects an appropriate gear depending on the road condition such as uphill, downhill or curving roads.

- Duringsomedrivingsituations, hard brakingforexample, the adaptiveshift controlmay automaticallyoperate. The transmission may automatically shift to alower gear forengine braking. This increases enginespeed but not vehicle speed. Vehiclespeed is controlled by the accelerator pedal when the vehicle is in the Adaptiveshift control mode.

- When the adaptiveshift control operates, the transmission sometimes maintains lower gear for longer period of time than when adaptive shift control is not operating. Engine speed will be higher for a specific vehicle speed while ASC system is operating

Vehicledetectedahead:

When vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the CC system decelerates the vehicle by controlling the throttle and applying the brake stomatch the speed of as low vehicle ahead. The system then controls the vehicles speed based on the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver selected distance.

Whenavehicleaheadisdetected, the vehicleaheaddetectionindicatorcomes on. The ICCsystemwillalsodisplaytheset speedandselecteddistance.

Vehicleaheadnotdetected:

When vehicle is nolonger detected ahead, the CC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to resumethepreviously set vehicles speed. The CC system then maintains the sets speed.

SYSTEMOPERATION

The forward emergency braking system will function when your vehicle is driven at speeds above approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h).

If the driver appliesthe brakes quickly and forcefully after the warning, and the forward emergency braking system detects that there is still the possibility of a forward collision, the system will automatically increase the braking force.

If a forward collision is imminent and the driver does not take action, the forward emergency braking system issues the second visual (red) and audible warning and automatically applies harder braking.

NOTE:

The vehicle's stoplights come on when braking is performed by the forward emergency braking system.

Depending on vehicles speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway conditions, the system may help the driver avoid a forward collision or may help mitigate the consequences of facollisions should done be unavoidable.

If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accelerating or braking, the forward emergency braking system will function later or will not function.

The automatic braking will cease under the following conditions:

  • When theesteeringwheelisturnedas faras necessary to avoid a collision.
  • When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
  • Whenthereisnolongeravehicle detectedahead.

If the forward emergency braking system has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a stand still for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.

Usingthebrakes

Avoidrestingyourfootonthebrakepedal whiledriving. This will cause overheating of the brakes, wearing out the brake and pads faster and reduce gasmileage.

To helps a vet the brakes and to prevent the brakes from overheating, reduces speed and downshift to lower gear before going down aslope or long grade. Overheated brakes may reduce braking performance and could result in loss of vehicle control.

WARNING

- Whiledrivingonaslippery surface, be careful when braking, accelerating or downshifting. Abrupt braking or accelerating could cause the wheel stoskid and result in an accident.

- If the engine is not running oristurned off while driving, the power assist for the brakes will not work. Braking will be harder.

TIREPRESSURE

TirePressureMonitoringSystem (TPMS)

This vehicleisequipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitor tire pressure of all tire except these spare. Whentelow tire pressure warning lights lit and the "Tire Pressure Low-Add Air" warning appears in the vehicle information display, one more or more your tiresis significantly under inflated. 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 afall tire while driving).

Formoredetails,see"Lowtirepressure warninglight"(P.2-14),"TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)("P.5-4)and"Tire PressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)("P.6-3).

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. If the hissing sound of air escaping from the tire is heard while checking the pressure deposition on the gauge to eliminate this leakage.

  3. Remove the gauge.

  4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge stem and compare it to the specification shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
  5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too much air is added, press the core of the valve stem briefly with the tip of the gauge stem to release pressure. Recheck the pressure and add or release air as needed.
  6. Install the valve stem cap.
  7. Check the pressure of all other tires, including the spare.

- Replacement tires may have a lower speed rating than the factory equipped tires, and may not match the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed

themaximum speedrating of the tire.

  • Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINIT could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
  • Foradditionalinformationregarding tires,referto"ImportantTireSafety Information"(US)or"TireSafetyInformation" (Canada) in the Warranty InformationBooklet.

  • Theuseoftiresotherthanthose recommendedorthemixeduseoftires of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted, radialorrun-flat), ortread patterns can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speedometercalibration, headlightaimand bumperheight. Someof these effects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury.
  • For Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) models, If your vehicle was originally equipped with 4 tires that were the same size and you are only replacing 2 of the 4 tires, install the new tires on the rear axle. Placing new tires on the frontaxle may cause loss of vehicle control in some driving conditions and cause an

accidentandpersonalinjury.

- If the wheels are changed for any reason, always replace with wheels which have the same off-set dimension. Wheel so far different off-set could cause premature tire wear, degrade vehicle handling characteristics and/or interference with the braked discs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/show wear. See "Wheelsandtries" (P.9-9) of this manual for wheel off-set dimensions.

CAUTION

- Do not use tire chains on a TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire. Tire chains will not

fitproperlyandmaycausedamageto thevehicle.

●Because the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire is smaller than the original tire, ground clearance is reduced. To avoid damage to the vehicle, donot drive over obstacles. Also on to drive the vehicle through an automatic car wash since it may get caught.

Octaneratingtips

Using unlegadedgasoline with an octane rating lower than recommended above can cause persistent, heavysparkknock. (Sparkknock is a metallic rapping noise.) If severe, this can lead to an injured damage. If you detect epistersent the heavyspark knock even when using gas gasoline of the stated octanating, or if you hear steady sparkknock while holding a steady speed on levelroads, have an infinitretailer correct the condition. Failure to correct the condition is misuse the vehicle, for which infinitile is not responsible.

Incorrect ignition timing will result in knocking, after run over heating. This turn may cause excessive fuel consumption, or damage to the engine. If any of the

Technicalandconsumerinformation9·5

above symptoms are encountered, have your vehicle checked at an INFINIT retailer or other competent service facility. However, now and then you may notice lightsparknockforashort timwhile accelerating or driving up hills. This is no cause for concern, because you get the greatest fuel benefit when there is light sparkknockforashort time under heavy engine load.

Toget "the combined weight of occupants and cargo", add the weight of allooccupants, then add

thetotalluggageweight.Examples areshownintheillustration.

Stepsfordeterminingcorrectload limit

  1. Locatetheatement"Thecombinedweightofoccupantsand cargoshouldneverexceedXXXkg orXXXlbs"onyourvehicle's placard.

  2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers will be riding in your vehicle.

  3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXXkgorXXXlbs.

  4. Theresultingfigureequalsthe availableamountofcargo and luggageloadcapacity. Forexample, iftheXXXamountequals 1400lbs.andtherewillbefive 150lb.passengersinyouvehicle, theamountofavailablecargo andluggageloadcapacityis650 lbs.(1400-750(5x150)=650lbsor640-340(5x70)=300kg.)

  5. Determinethecombinedweightof luggageandcargobeingloaded onthevehicle.Thatweightmay notsafelyexceedtheavailable cargoandluggageloadcapacity calculatedinStep4.

  6. If your vehicle will betowing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available

cargoandluggageloadcapacity of your vehicle.
