The drivers supplemental front-impact air bag is located in the center of the steering wheel. The passengers supplemental front-impact air bag is mounted in the instrument panel abovetheglovebox. The front air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, although they may inflate if the forces in another type of collisiona similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact. They may not inflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of fit) is not always an indication of proper front air bag operation.

The purpose of the regulation is to help reduce 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 sensors (weightsensors) are on these at cushion frame under the front passenger seat and are designed to detect an occupant 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 classifications sensors can detect it and cause the air bag to turn OFF.

Frontpassengerseatadultoccupantswho areproperlyseatedandusingtheseatbelt asoutlinedinthismanualshouldnot causethepassengerairbagtobeautomaticallyturnedOFF.Forsmalladultsit maybeturnedOFF,however,ifthe occupantdoesnotsitintheseatproperly (forexample,bynotsittingupright,by sittingonanedgeoftheseat,orby otherwisebeingoutofposition),thiscould causethesensortoturntheairbagOFF.

insteadofbeingOFF.(See "Childrestraints" (P.1-20) for proper use and installation.)

If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the passenger air bag is designed not to inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects placed on these at could result in air bag inflation, because of the object being detected by the occupant classification sensors. Other conditions could also result in air bag inflation, such as if a child is standing on these at, or if two children are on these at, contrary to the instructions in this manual. Always besure that you and all vehicle occupants are seated and restrained properly.

Using the passenger air bag status light, you can monitor when the front passenger air bag is automatically turned off with the seat occupied. Thelight will not illuminate when the front passenger seat is unoccupied.

Ifachildrestraintmustbeusedinthefront seat, thepassengerairbagstatuslight

mayormaynotbeilluminated,depending onthesizeofthechildandthetype of childrestraint being used. If the passenger airbagstatuslightisnotilluminated (indicating that the airbag might inflate inacrash), it could be that the child restraint or seat belt is not being used properly. Makesure that the child restraint is installed properly, these at belt is used properly and the occupant is positioned properly. If the passenger airbag 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 at belts and the occupant are properly positioned, the system may be sensing an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is OFF). Your INFINIT retail can check that the system is OFF by using aspecial tool. However, until you have confirmed with your retailer that your air bag is working properly, reposition the occupant or child restraint in arearseat.

The INFINITIA Advanced Air Bag System and passenger air bag status light will take a few second store register change in the passenger seat status. However, if these at

AUTOMATICDRIVEPOSITIONER(ifso equipped)

Theautomaticdrivepositionersystemhas threefeatures:

-Entry/exitfunction
- Seatsynchronizationfunction
●Memorystorage

ENTRY/EXITFUNCTION

Thisystemisdesignedsothatthedriver's seatandsteeringcolumnwillautomaticallymovewhentheautomatictransmissionselectorleverisintheP(Park) position. Thisallowsthedrivertogetinto andoutofthedriver'sseatmoreeasily. Thedriver'sseatwillslidebackward and thesteeringwheelwillmoveupwhenthe driver'sdoorisopenedwiththeignition switchintheOFFposition.

The driver's seat and steering wheel will return to the previous positions when none of the following is operated:

  • Whentheignitionswitchispushed to theACCpositionafterthedriver'sdoor isclosed.
  • Whentheignitionswitchispushed to theONposition.

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.

Canceloractivateentry/exitfunction

TheselectorlevermustbeintheP(Park) positionwiththeignitionswitchintheOFF position.

Theentry/exitfunctioncanbeactivatedor canceledbypressingandholdingtheSET switchformorethan10seconds.

The indicator lights on the memory switches(1 and 2) will blink once when the function is canceled, and the indicator light will blink twice when the function is activated. Not that the indicator lights may illuminate after 5 seconds while holding the SET switch. This indicates readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to astored memory position. Keep the SET switch pressed for more than 10 seconds to turn on or off the entry/exit function.

Theentry/exitfunctioncanalsobeeactivatedorcanceledifthe"LiftSteering WheelonExit"keyor"SlideDriverSeat BackonExit"keyisturnedtoONorOFFin the"Comfort"settings.(See"Vehicle informationandsettings"(P.4-9).)

Initializeentry/exitfunction

If the batterycable is disconnected, or if the fuse opens, the entry / exit function will not work though this function was set on before. Ins such a case, after connecting the battery or replacing with anewfuse, open and closed the driver's doormorethant two times after the ignition switch is turned from the ON position to the LOCK position. The entry / exit function will be activated.

CompressedAudioFiles(MP3/WMA/AAC/ATRAC3)

Explanationofterms:

- MP3—MP3isshortforMovingPictures ExpertsGroupAudioLayer3.MP3is themostwell knowncompressed digitalaudiofileformat.This format allowsfornear“CDquality”sound,but atafractionofthesizeofnormalaudio files.MP3conversionofanaudiotrack canreducethefilesizebyapproximatelya10:1ratio(Sampling:44.1 kHz,Bitrate:128kbps)withvirtually noperceptible loss inquality.The compressionreduces certain parts of sound that seem inaudible to most people.

●WMA—WindowsMediaAudio(WMA)is acompressedaudioformatcreatedby MicrosoftasanalternativetoMP3. The WMAcodeoffersgreaterfilecompression than the MP3 codec, enabling storageofmoredigitalaudiotracksin thesameamountof spacewhen comparedtoMP3satthesamelevel ofquality.

- AAC/M4A — Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a lossy audio compression format. Audiofiles that have been encoded with AACaregenerally smaller insize and deliver a higher quality of sound than MP3.

- Bitrate—Bitratedenotesthenumber of bits per second used by a digital music file. The size and quality of a compresseddigitalaudiofileisdeterminedby thebitrateusedwhen encodingthefile.

- Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency is therate at which the samples of asignal are converted from analog to digital (A/D conversion) per second.

- Multisession—Multisessionisoneof themethodsforwritingdatatomedia. Writingdataoncetothemediaiscalled asinglesession,andwritingmorethan onceiscalledamultisession.

- ID3/WMATag—TheID3/WMAtagisthe partoftheencodedMP3orWMAfile that contains information about the digital music file such as song title, artist, albumtitle, encoding bitrate, tracktimeduration,etc.ID3taginformationisdisplayontheAlbum/ Artist/Tracktitlelineonthedisplay.

TIREPRESSUREMONITORINGSYSTEM(TPMS)

Eachtire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle hastires of different sizen the size indicated on the vehicle placard tire inflation pressure label, you should determin the property inflation pressure forthosetires.)

Asanadded safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltale when none or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and in flat the them to the proper pressure. Driving on asignificantly under-inflated tire cause esthetire too overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

DRINKINGALCOHOL/DRUGSAND DRIVING

INFINITI FX35 (2013) - DRINKINGALCOHOL/DRUGSAND DRIVING - 1

WARNING

Neverdriveundertheinfluenceofalcoholor drugs. Alcoholinthebloodstreamreduces coordination, delaysreactiontimeandimpairsjudgement. Drivingafterdrinking alcoholincreasesthelikelihoodofbeing involvedanaccidentinjuringyourselfand others. Additionally, ifyouareinjuredinan accident, alcoholcanincreasetheseverity oftheinjury.

INFINITliscommittedtosafedriving. However, you must choose nottodrive under the influence of alcohol. Every year thousand so people are injured or killed in alcohol-related accidents. Although the callaws vary on what is considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is 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).

Don't drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition.

NOTE:

The approach warning chimemaysound and the system display may blink when the Ccsensor detect somereflectors which are fitted on vehicles in other lanes or on the side of the road. This may cause the Ccsystem to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The Ccsensor may detect the reflectors when the vehicle is driven on winding roads, hillyroads or when enteringorexiting arc curve. The Ccsensor may also detect reflector on narrow roads or in road construction zones. In these cases you will have to control the proper distance ahead of your vehicle.

    ●Neverplaceyourfootunderthebrake pedal.Yourfootmaybecaughtwhenthe systemcontrolsthebrake.
  • Depending on the position of the accelerator pedal, the system may not be able to assist the drivertoreleasethe accelerator pedal appropriately.
  • If the vehicle ahead comestoastandstill, the vehicle decelerate to a standstill within the limitation of the system. Thesystem will release brake control with warning chime once it judges the vehicle is at a stand still. Top prevent the vehicle from moving, the driver must depress the brake pedal. (Thesystem will resume control automatically once the system reaches 3 MPH (5 km/h)).

POWERSTEERING

INFINITI FX35 (2013) - POWERSTEERING - 1

WARNING

If the engine is not running oristurned off while driving, the power assist for the steering will not work. Steering will be hard to operate.

The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering.

If the engine stops orthedrive belt breaks, you will still have control of the vehicle. However, much greater steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns and at lowspeeds.

EUROPEANDESIGNBRAKEPADS(if soequipped)

TheFX50Sport(only)isequipped with more aggressive European style brake pads which provide increased faderesistance when repeatedly braking from very high speeds. These pads are likely to experience increased brakedustandnoise as well as increased pad and rotor wear, with replacement interval soflessthan 20,000 miles (32,000 km) for some customers depending upon their driving patterns.

This procedure is described in the vehicle servicemanual and can be performed by an INFINIT retailer.

Usingthebrakes

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

Tohelpsavethebrakesandtopreventthe brakesfromoverheating, reducespeed anddownshifttoalowergearbeforegoing downaslopeorlonggrade. Overheated brakesmayreducebrakingperformance andcouldresultinlossofvehiclecontrol.

ANTI-LOCKBRAKINGSYSTEM(ABS)

INFINITI FX35 (2013) - ANTI-LOCKBRAKINGSYSTEM(ABS) - 1

WARNING

- The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a sophisticated device, but it cannot prevent accidents resulting from carelessor 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, gravelors now covered roads, or if you are using tire chains. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the driver is responsible for safety.

- Tiretypeandconditionmayalsoaffect brakingeffectiveness.

— Whenreplacingtires,installthe specifiedsizeof tireson allfour wheels.
- Wheninstallingasparetire, make surethatitisthepropersizeand typeasspecifiedontheTireand LoadingInformationlabel.See“Tire

andLoadingInformationlabel"(P.9-13)ofthismanual.

— Fordetailed information, see "Wheelsandtires"(P.8-32)ofthis manual.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) control the braking wheel wheels donotlock during hard braking or when braking on slippery surfaces. The system detects the rotations speed at each wheeland varies the brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheelfromlocking and sliding. By preventing each wheelfromlocking, the system helps the driver maintain steering control and help to minimize werving and spinning on slippery surfaces.

The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect as undendropintire pressure (for example a flattire while driving).

Formoredetails, see "Lowtirepressure warninglight" (P.2-15), "TirePressure MonitoringSystem(TPMS)" (P.5-4) and "TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)" (P.6-3).

Tireinflationpressure

wayspriortolongdistancetrips. The recommended tirepressurespecificationsareshownontheTireand LoadingInformationlabelunderthe "ColdTirePressure"heading.The TireandLoadingInformationlabelis affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tirepressuresshouldbechecked regularlybecause:

  • Mosttiresnaturallyloseairover time.
  • Tirescanloseairsuddenlywhen drivenoverpotholesorother objects or if the vehicle strikes a curbwhileparking.

The tirepressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The 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.

Incorrect tire pressure, including underinflation, may adversely affect tire life and vehicle handling.

If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, pleasetakethe following precautions as the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle performance problems and/or fuel system damage.

  • Thefuel should be unleaded and have an octanerating nolower than that recommended for unleaded gasoline.
  • Ifanoxygenate-blend, excepting a methanol blend, is used, it should contain no more than 10% oxygenate. (MTBEmay, however, be added upto

15%.)

- Ifamethanolblendisused, it should containnomorethan5% methanol (methylalcohol, woodalcohol). It should also contain suitable amount of appropriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. If not properly formulated with appropriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, such methanol blends may cause fuel system damage and/or vehicle performance problems. Atthistime, sufficient data is not available to ensure that all methanol blends are suitable for use in INFINITE vehicles.
