WARNING

- Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

  • For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, these should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor of adjust the seat properly. For additional information, refer to "Precautions on seat belt usage" in this section.
  • After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
  • Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls or make the vehicle move. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

  • To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

  • Do not adjust the driver's seat while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
  • The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger and sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

INFINITI QX50 (2019) - WARNING - 1

natural_image Diagram of a person seated in a car with cross-shaped seatbelt bands (no text or symbols)

WARNING

  • Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but no falling off your shoulder.
  • Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could increase the risk of internal injuries in an accident.

  • Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely fastened to the proper buckle.

  • Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted. Doing so may reduce its effectiveness.
  • Do not allow more than one person to 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. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do not modify the seat belt, add material, or install devices that may change the seat belt routing or tension. Doing so may affect the operation of the seat belt system. Modifying or tampering with the seat belt system may result in serious personal injury.

  • Once a seat belt pretensioner(s) have activated, they cannot be reused and must be replaced together with the retractor. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
    All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, should be inspected after any collision. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. INFINITI recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

All child restraints and attaching hardware should be inspected after any collision. Always follow the restraint manufacturer's inspection instructions and replacement recommendations. The child restraints should be replaced if they are damaged.

SEAT BELT WARNINGLIGHT

Both the driver's and passenger's front seats are equipped with a seat belt warning light. The warning light, located on the instrument panel, will show the status of the driver and passenger seat belt.

NOTE:

The front passenger seat belt warning light will not light up if the seat is not occupied.

For additional information, refer to "Warning lights, indicator lights and audible reminders" in the "Instruments and controls" section of this manual.

PREGNANT WOMEN

INFINITI recommends that pregnant women use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug and always position the lap belt as low as possible around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

INJURED PERSONS

INFINITI recommends that injured persons use seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific recommendations.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT WITH RETRACTOR

WARNING

- Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be in the rear seats and i an appropriate restraint.

- Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt properly.

- Do not allow children to play with the seat belts. Most seating positions are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes wrapped around a child's neck with the ALR mode activated, the child can be seriously injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and becomes tight. This can occur even if the vehicle is es.parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release inthe child. If the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release the child by cutting the seat belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to release the seat belt.

Fastening the seat belts

  1. Adjust the seat. For additional information, refer to "Seats" in this section.

  2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle Ⓐ until you hear and feel the latch engage.

The retractor is designed to lock during a sudden stop or on impact. A slot pulling motion permits the seat belt to move and allows you some freedom of movement in the seat.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.

INFINITI QX50 (2019) - Fastening the seat belts - 1

text_image A B C LRS2675
  1. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the hip® as shown.
  2. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is routed over shoulder and across your chest.

The front passenger seat and the rear seat positions three-point seat belts have two modes of operation:

• Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
• Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The ELR mode allows the seat belt to extend and retract to allow the driver and passengers some freedom of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly or during certain impacts.

The ALR mode (child restraint mode) locks the seat belt for child restraint installation.

When the ALR mode is activated, the seat belt cannot be extended again until the seat belt tongue is detached from the buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt returns to the ELR mode after the seat belt fully retracts. For additional information, refer to "Child restraints" in this section.

The ALR mode should be used only for child restraint installation. During normal seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode should not be activated. If it is activated, it may cause uncomfortable seat belt tension. It can also change the operation of the front passenger air bag. For additional information, refer to "Front passenger air bag and status light" in this section.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be certain that the seatbacks are completely secured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

INFINITI QX50 (2019) - WARNING - 1

When the seat belt is not in use and when folding down the rear seats, hook the rear seat belts on the seat belt hooks.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

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 for purchase. The extender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm) of length and may be used for all seating positions.

Seat belt extenders are available for the:

  • Driver and front passenger seating positions
  • Rear seating positions

It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for assistance with purchasing an extender if an extender is required.

WARNING

  • Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made by the same company which made the original equipment seat belts, should be used with INFINITI seat belts.
  • Adults and children who can us the standard seat belt should not use an extender. Such unnecessary use could result in serious personal injury in the event of an accident.
  • Never use seat belt extenders to install child restraints. If the child restraint is not secured properly, the child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision or a sudden stop.

CHILD SAFETY

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild soap solution or any solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Then wipe with a cloth and allow to seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they are completely dry.
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt gu of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

Periodically check to see that the seat belt and the metal components, such as

buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and anchors, work properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts or other damage on the webbing is found, the entire seat belt assembly should be replaced.

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the seat belts. Most seating positions are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes wrapped around a child's neck with the ALR mode activated, the child can be seriously injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and becomes tight. This can occur even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release the child. If the seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release the child by cutting the seat belt with a
suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to release the seat belt.

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 transport your child.

There are three basic types of child restrain systems:

- Rear-facing child restraint

- Forward-facing child restraint

Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the child's size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year and less than 20 lbs. (9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints. Forward-facing child restraints are available for children who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old. Booster seats are used to help position a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longer use a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protection. The vehicle's seat belts may not fit them properly. The shoulder belt may come too close to the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over their small hip bones. In accident, an improperly fitting seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury. Always use appropriate child restraints.

AP U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories require the use of approved child restraints for infants and small children. For additional information, refer to "Child restraints" in this section.

A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle SMALL CHILDREN

by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor and Tethers for CHildren) system or with t vehicle seat belt. For additional information, refer to "Child restraints" in this section.

INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens and children be restrained in the rear seat. Studies show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

This is especially important because your vehicle has a supplemental restraint system (air bag system) for the front passenger. Additional information, refer to "Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)" in this section.

INFANTS

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed in a rear-facing child restraint. INFINITI recommends that infants be placed in child restraints that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You should choose a child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use.

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at the least 20 lbs. (9 kg) should remain in a rear face. The top, middle portion of the shoulder. The facing child restraint as long as possible up to shoulder belt should not cross the neck or the height or weight limit of the child restraint. Children who outgrow the height or weight limit of the rear-facing child restraint are at least 1 year old should be secured. In a forward-facing child restraint with a hairless. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for minimum and maximum weight and height recommendations. INFINITI recommends that small children be placed in children on both seats with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

LARGER CHILDREN

Children should remain in a forward-facing child restraint with a harness until they reach the maximum height or weight limit allowed by the child restraint manufacturer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weight limit of the harness-equipped forward-facing child restraint, INFINITI recommends that the child be placed in a commercially available booster seat to obtain proper seat belt fit. For

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS

WARNING

- Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use and installation of child restraints could result in serious injury or death of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop or collision:

- The child restraint must be used and installed properly. Always follow all of the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for installation and use.

  • Infants and children should never be held on anyone's lap. Even the strongest adult cannot resist the forces of a collision.
  • Do not put a seat belt around both a child and another passenger.
  • INFINITI recommends that all child restraints be installed in the rear seat. Studies show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If you must install a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat, refer to "Forward-facing child restraint installation using the seat belts" in this section.
  • Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat. An inflating air bag could seriously injure or kill a child. A rear-facing child restraint must only be used in the rear seat.
  • Be sure to purchase a child restraint that will fit the child and vehicle. Some child restraints may not fit properly in your vehicle.

1-22 Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

  • Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used to attach adult seat belts, or other items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage the child restraint anchorages. The child restraint will not be properly installed using the damaged anchorage, andachildcouldbeseriouslyinjuredor killed in a collision.
  • Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts, or other items.
  • A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be used in the first passenger seat.
  • Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child restraint.
  • Infants and children should always placed in an appropriate child restraint while in the vehicle.

- When the child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with the LATCH system or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or collision, loose objects can injure occupants or damage the vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing a child in the child restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal child restraint anchor system, referred to as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system. Some child restraints include rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected to these anchors. For additional information, refer to "LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system" in this section.

If you do not have a LATCH compatible child restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints for infants and children of various sizes. When selecting any child restraint, keep the following points in mind:

  • Choose only a restraint with a label tifying that it complies with Federal tor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
  • Check the child restraint in your vehicle be sure it is compatible with the vehicle seat and seat belt system.

If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint and check the various adjustments to be sure the child restraint is compatible with your child. Choose a child restraint that is designed for your child's height and weight. Always follow all recommended procedures.
If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is less than 65 lbs. (29.5 k) you may use either the LATCH anchors or the seat belt to install the child restraint (not both at the same time).
If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehicle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the child restraint.
- Be sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for installation.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories require that infants and small children be restrained in an approved child restraint at all times while the vehicle is being operated. Canadian law requires the top tether strap on forward-facing child re-

straints be secured to the designated anchor point on the vehicle.

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 reducetherisk 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. For additional information, refer to "Front passenger air bag and status light" in this section.

The seat belts and the front air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat. The front a bags inflate with great force. Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System, if you are unrestrained, leaning forward,
sitting sideways or out of position in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the front air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. Always sit back against the seat-back and as far away as practical from the steering wheel or instrument panel.
Always properly use the seat belts.

  • The driver and front passenger seat belt buckles are equipped with sensors that detect if the seat belts are fastened. The INFINITI 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 (weight sensor) that turns the front passenger air bag OFF under some conditions. This sensor is only used in this seat. Failure to be properly seated and wear-

ing the seat belt can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident. For additional information, refer to "Front passenger air bag and status light" in this section.

Keep hands on the outside of the steering wheel. Placing them inside the steering wheel rim could increase the risk that they are injured when the front air bag inflates.

  • If a forward-facing child restraint is installed in the frontpassenger seat, do not position the front passenger seat so the child restraint contacts the instrument panel. If the child restraint does contact at the instrument panel, the system may determine the seat is occupied and the passenger air bag may deploy in a collision. Also the front passenger air bag status light may not illuminate. For additional information, refer to "Child restraints" in this section.

  • Confirm the operating condition with the front passenger air bag status light.
  • If you notice that the front passenger at bag status light is not operating as de-b scribed in this section, get the occupant classification system checked. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
  • Until you have confirmed with a retailer that your passenger seat occupant classification system is working properly, position the occupants in the rear seating positions.

- Do not position the front passenger seat to so it contacts the rear seat. If the front seat does contact the rear seat, the air bag system may determine a sensor malfunction has occurred and the front passenger air bag status light may illuminate and the supplemental air bag warning light may flash.

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. All of the information, cautions and warnings in this manual still apply and must be followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is located in the center of the steering wheel. The front passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is mounted in the dashboard above the glove box. The front air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, although they may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact. They may not inflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper front air bag system operation.

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System Monitors information from the crash zone sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle sensor and occupant classification sensor (weight sensor). Inflator operation is based on the severity of a collision seat belt usage for the driver. For the front passenger, the occupant classification sensor When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by the released smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care should be taken to not inhale it, as it may cause irritation and drinking. Those with a history of a breathing condition should get fresh air promptly. The front air bags operate only when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. After placing the ignition switch in the ON position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates.

Normal operation

In order for the occupant classification sensor system to classify the front passenger based on weight, please follow the precautions and steps outlined below:

Precautions

- Make sure that there are no objects weighing over 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) hanging on the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.

Make sure that a child restraint or other 4. object is not pressing against the rear of the seatback. Make sure that a rear passenger is not pushing or pulling on the back of the fro5t passenger seat.

Make sure that the front passenger seat NO or seatback is not forced back against an object on the seat or floor behind it. This make sure that there is no object placed under the front passenger seat.

eps

  1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the "Seat section of this manual. Sit upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on the seat cushion with your feet comfortably extended to the floor.
  2. Make sure there are no objects on your lap.
  3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the "Seat belts" section of this manual. From passenger seat belt buckle status is monitored by the occupant classification system, and is used as an input to determine occupancy status. So, it is highly recommended that the front passenger belt fasten their seat belt.

Remain in this position for 30 seconds allowing the system to classify the front passenger before the vehicle is put into motion.

Ensure proper classification by checking the front passenger air bag status light.

NOTE:

This vehicle's occupant classification sensor system generally keeps the classification locked during driving, so it is important that you confirm that the front passenger is properly classified prior to driving. However, the occupant classification sensor may re-calculate the weight of the occupant under some conditions (both while driving and when stopped), so front passenger seat occupants should continue to remain seated as outlined above.

Troubleshooting

If you think the front passenger air bag status is incorrect:

  1. If the light is ON with an adult occupy in the front passenger seat:
  2. Occupant is a small adult – the air bag light is functioning as intended. The front passenger air bag is suppressed.

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:

  • Will operate most radio frequency devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and security systems.
  • Is powered by your vehicle's battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehicle's battery is discharged or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.

When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For additional information, refer to "Programming HomeLink®" in this section.

WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by federal safety standards. (These standards became effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener which cannot detect an object in the path of a closing garage door and then automatically stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.

During the programming procedure your garage door or security gate will open and close (if the transmitter is within range). Make sure that people or objects are clear of the garage door, gate, etc., that you are programming.

Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death.

If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at: -www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.

NOTE:

Place the ignition switch in the ACC position when programming HomeLink®. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink® for quicker programming and accurate transmission of the radio frequency.

- Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
- To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, including entrapment in windows and/or inadvertent door lock activation, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others and/or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and/or pets.

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK

Child safety locks help prevent the rear doors from being opened accidentally, especially when small children are in the vehicle.

The child safety lock levers are located on the edge of the rear doors.

When the lever is in the LOCK position, the door can be opened only from the outside.

WARNING

  • Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influences before use.
  • The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pressed. The FAA advises the radio waves may affect aircraft navigation and communication systems. Do not operate the Intelligent Key while on an airplane. Make sure the buttons are not operated unintentionally when the unit is stored for a flight.
  • Before leaving the vehicle, engage the P _P (Park) position and check that the electronic parking brake warning light is illu-

minated to confirm that the electronic parking brake is applied. The electronic parking brake warning light will remain on for a period of time after the driver's door is locked.

  • Make sure to engage the P (Park) position and apply the parking brake when parking your vehicle, riding on or off the vehicle or loading luggage. Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to move or roll away unexpectedly and result in serious personal injury or property damage.
    The Intelligent Key system can operate all the door locks using the remote control function or pushing the request switch on the vehicle without taking the key out from a pocket or course. The operating environment and/or conditions may affect the Intelligent Key system operation.
    Be sure to read the following before using the intelligent Key system.

CAUTION

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

interfere with the operation of the Intelligent Key system under the following operating "k conditions:

  • When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such as a TV tower, power station and broad casting station.
  • When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular telephone, transceiver or a CB radio.

  • When any type of radio wave remote control is used nearby.
  • When the Intelligent Key is placed near electric appliance such as a personal computer.
  • When the vehicle is parked near a park meter.

In such cases, correct the operating conditions before using the Intelligent Key function or use the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies depending on the operating conditions, the battery's life is approximately two years. If the battery is discharged, replace it with a new one.

When the Intelligent Key battery is low, a "Key Battery Low" indicator illuminates in the vehicle information display. For additional information, refer to "Vehicle information display warnings and indicators" in the "Instruments and controls" section of this manual.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving radio waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio waves, such as signals from a TV and personal computer, the battery life may become shorter.

For additional information, refer to "Battery replacement" in the "Do-it-yourself" section of this manual.

CAUTION

Listed below are conditions or occurrences which will damage the Intelligent Key:

  • Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which contains electrical components, to come into contact with water or salt water. This could affect the system function.
  • Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
  • Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply against another object.

Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.

  • Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, immediately wipe until it is completely dry.

lon control:

The Automatic Climate Control System unit generates highly concentrated Plasmacluster® ions into the air blown from the ventors to reduce odor absorbed into the intertrim and to suppress airborne bacteria. The high-density Plasmacluster® ions also have a proven skin moisture preserving effect.

The Plasmacluster® icon on the CLIMATE screen indicates the status of the Plasma-cluster® ion emission from the system and changes with the amount of the air flow.

Automatic air recirculation control with the exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:

The Automatic Climate Control System comes with an exhaust gas detection/outside odor sensor. When the automatic air circulation control is activated, the sensor detects odors outside the vehicle such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust such as gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gases are detected the display and the system automatically change from fresh air mode to the recirculation mode.

When the automatic air recirculation is on, for the first 5 minutes, the air recirculation mode is selected to prevent dust, dirt, and pollen from entering the vehicle and to clean the air inside of the vehicle.

After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust gas and automatically alternates between the air recirculation mode and the fresh air mode.

The automatic air recirculation mode can be activated under the following conditions.

- The air flow control is not in the front defroster mode (the indicator light on the front defroster button is turned off).

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING

  • Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should alsonotbeleftalone.Theycouldaccidentally 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.
  • Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

- Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death.

  • If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, drive with all windows fully open, and have the vehicle inspected immediately.
  • Do not run the engine in closed spaces such as a garage.
    Do not park the vehicle with the engine running for any extended length of time.
  • Keep the rear vent windows, liftgates, doors and trunk lids (if so equipped) closed while driving, otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn into the passenger compartment. If you must drive with or of these open, follow these precautions

  • Open all the windows.

  • Set the air recirculation button to off and the fan control dial to high to circulate the air.

- If electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass to a trailer through the seal on the liftgate or the body, follow the manufacturer's recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.

- The exhaust system and body should be inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:

a. The vehicle is raised for service.

b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST

The three-way catalyst is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.

WARNING

  • The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are very hot. Keep people, animals or flammable materials away from the exhaust system components.
  • Do notstopor park the vehicleover flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.

5-4 Starting and driving

CAUTION

  • Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits from leaded gasoline will seriously reduce the three-way catalyst's ability to help reduce exhaust pollutants.
  • Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunction in the ignition, fuel injection, or electric systems can cause over rich fuel flow of 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. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for service.
  • Avoid driving with an extremely low f level. Running out of fuel could cause engine to misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.
  • Do not race the engine while warming up.
  • Do not push or tow your vehicle to s the engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING 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

In this vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure lab, if your vehicle has tires of a different size into than the size indicated on the vehicle place or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

cleAs an added safety feature, your vehicle h been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor this System (TPMS) that illuminates a low pressure telltale when one or more of you

tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale ill minutes, you should stop and check all your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them the proper pressure. Driving on a significant under-inflated tire causes the tire to overh and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitut for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then

as remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle heart-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect proper signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reactions, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction

tion telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Additional information:

  • When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, 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. After the tire is inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.
  • The "Tire Pressure Low - Add Air" warning appears in the vehicle information display when the low tire pressure warning light is illuminated and low tire pressure is detected. The "Tire Pressure Low - Add Air" warning turns off when the low tire pressure warning light turns off.

  • The "Tire Pressure Low – Add Air" warnFor additional information, refer to "Low tire ing appears each time the ignition switchpressure warning light" and "Tire Pressure is in the ON position as long as the lowwow – Add Air" in the "Instruments and con-tire pressure warning light remains illumi-trols" section and "Tire Pressure Monitoring nated. System (TPMS)" in the "In case of emergency"
    The "Tire Pressure Low - Add Air" 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. Do not reduce the tire pressure after driving because the tire pressure rises after driving. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tire which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure for all four tires.
  • The Tire and Loading Information label is located in the driver's door opening.
  • You can also check the pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the vehicle information display screen. The order of the tire pressure figures displayed on the screen corresponds with the actual order of the tire position.
    Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influences before use.

5-6 Starting and driving

WARNING

- If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Driving with underinflated tires may permanently damage the tires and increase the likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal injury. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the low tire pressure warning light off. If you have a flat tire, replace it with replacement tire as soon as possible. (For additional information, refer to "Flat tire" in the "In case of emergency" section for changing a flat tire.)

When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, when a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS system reset as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.

hD@ not inject any tire liquid or aerosol sealant into the tires, as this may cause malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.

CAUTION

  • The TPMS may not function properly when the wheels are equipped with tire chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
  • Do not place metalized film or any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may cause poor reception of the signals from the tire pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not function properly.

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.

The low tire pressure warning light may illuminate in the following cases:

a If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS.

- If the TPMS has been replaced and the II has not been registered.

- If the wheel is not originally specified by INFINITI.

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator

When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visual and audible signals outside the vehicle to help you inflate the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure.

5-8 Starting and driving

Vehicle set-up:

  1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
    Apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in the P (Park) position.
  2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine.

Operation:

  1. Add air to the tire.
  2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators will start flashing.
    -3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the hazard indicators stop flashing.
  3. Perform the above steps for each tire.

- If the tire is over-inflated more than approximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn beeps and the hazard indicators flash three times. To correct the pressure, push the core of the valve stem on the tire briefly to release pressure. When the pressure reaches the designated pressure, the horn beeps once.

- If the hazard indicator does not flash ^n within approximately 15 seconds after starting to inflate the tire, it indicates that the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is not operating.

  • The TPMS will not activate the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator under the following conditions:
  • If there is interference from an external device or transmitter.
  • The air pressure from the inflation device is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
  • There is a malfunction in the TPMS system.
  • There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators.
  • The identification code of the tire pressure sensor is not registered to the system.
  • The battery of the tire pressure sensor is low.
  • If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator does not operate due to TPMS interference, move the vehicle about 3 ft (1 m) backward or forward and try again.

If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is not working, use a tire pressure gauge.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVINGPRECAUTIONS

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles.

They have higher ground clearance than passenger cars to make them capable of performing in a variety of on-pavement and of road applications. This gives them a higher center of gravity than ordinary vehicles. An advantage of higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems. However, they are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns at high speeds. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.

For additional information, refer to "Driving safety precautions" in this section.

Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe or prudent manner may result in loss of control or an accident.

Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed, high speed cornering, or sudden steering maneuvers, because these driving practices could cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

As with any vehicle, loss of control could result in a collision with other vehicles or objects or cause the vehicle to roll over, particularly if the loss of control causes the vehicle to slide sideways.

B4s attentive at all times, and avoid driving when tired. Never drive when under the influence of alcohol or drugs (including prescription or over-the-counter drugs which may cause drowsiness). Always wear your seat belt as outlined in the "Safety - Seats, seat 5 belts and supplemental restraint system" section of this manual, and also instruct your passengers to do so.

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash, an unbelted or improperly belted person is significantly more likely to be injured or killed than a person properly wearing a seat belt.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY

While driving, the right side or left side where may unintentionally leave the road surface. If this occurs, 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.

  1. Do not apply the brakes.

  2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands and try to hold a straight course.

  3. When appropriate, slowly release the accelerator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.

  4. If there is nothing in the way, steer the vehicle to follow the road while vehicle speed is reduced. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle back onto the road surface until vehicle speed is reduced.

Starting and driving 5-9

  1. When it is safe to do so, gradually turneral guide. The vehicle must be driven as ap5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu- the steering wheel until both tires return appropriate based on the conditions of the ve- ally stop the vehicle. to the road surface. When all tires are liable, road and traffic.
  2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers on
    the road surface, steer the vehicle to stay in the appropriate driving lane.
  3. If you decide that it is not safe to move the vehicle to the road surface based on vehicle, road or traffic conditions, gradually slow the vehicle to a stop if safe place off the road.
    The following actions can increase the chance of losing control of the vehicle if there is a sudden loss of tire air pressure. Losing control of the vehicle may cause a collision and result in personal injury.
    DRINKINGALCOHOL/DRUGS AND DRIVING

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 under-inflated tires.

Rapid air pressure loss can affect the handling and stability of the vehicle, especially highway speeds.

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by maintaining the correct air pressure and visually inspecting the tires for wear and damage. For additional information, refer to "Wheels and tires" in the "Do-it-yourself" section of this manual. If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or "blows-out" while driving, maintain control of 4. the vehicle by following the procedure below. Please note that this procedure is only a gen-5-10 Starting and driving

WARNING

  • The vehiclegenerally moves or pulls in the direction of the flat tire.
  • Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
  • Do not rapidly release the accelerator pedal.
  • Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.

  • Remain calm and do not overreact.

  • Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands and try to hold straight course.

When appropriate, slowly release the accelerator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.

Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe lo- cation off the road and away from traffic if possible.

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. Additionally, if you are injured in an accident, alcohol can increase the severity of the injury.

INFINITI is committed to safe driving. However, you must choose not to drive under the influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are injured or killed in alcohol-related accidents. Although the local laws vary on what is considered to be legally intoxicated,

the fact is that alcohol affects all people diPlease observe the following precautions: ferently and most people underestimate the effects of alcohol.

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.

DRIVINGSAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your INFINITI is designed for both normal and off-road use. However, avoid driving in deep water or mud as your INFINITI is main designed for leisure use, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle.

Remember that 2-wheel drive models are less capable than All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models for rough road driving and extrication when stuck in deep snow or mud, or the like

WARNING

  • Spinning the front wheels on slippery surfaces may cause the AWD warning message to display and the AWD system is to automatically switch from the AWD to the 2WD mode. This could reduce the traction. Be especially careful when towing a trailer (AWD models).
  • Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas. Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should be seated with their seat belt fastened. This will keep you and your passengers in position when driving over rough terrain.
  • Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead drive either straight up or straight down the slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip over sideways much more easily than they can forward or backward.
  • Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. I you drive up them, you may stall. If you drive down them, you may not be able to control your speed. If you drive across them, you may roll over.

  • Do not shift gears while driving on downhill grades as this could cause loss of control of the vehicle.

  • Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At the top there could be a drop-off or other hazard that could cause an accident.

If your engine stalls or you cannot make to the top of a steep hill, never attempt turn around. Your vehicle could tip or roll over. Always back straight down in R (Reverse) gear and apply brakes to control your speed.

Heavy braking going down a hill could cause your brakes to overheat and fade, resulting in loss of control and an accident. Apply brakes lightly and use a low gear to control your speed.

Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when driving over rough terrain. Properly secure all cargo so it will not be thrown forward and cause injury to you or your passengers.

- Secure heavy loads in the cargo area as farforward and aslow as possible. Do not equip the vehicle with tires larger than specified in this manual. This could cause your vehicle to roll over.

  • Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steering wheel when driving off-road. The steering wheel could move suddenly and injure your hands. Instead drive with yourfingersandthumbsontheoutsideof the rim.
  • Before operating the vehicle, ensure that the driver and all passengers have their seat belts fastened.
  • Always drive with the floor mats in place as the floor may become hot.
  • Lower your speed when encountering strong crosswinds. With a higher center of gravity, your INFINITI is more affected by strong side winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control.
  • Do not drive beyond the performance capability of the tires, even with AWD engaged.
  • For AWD equipped vehicles, do not attempt to raise two wheels off the ground and shift the transmission to any drive or reverse position with the engine running. Doing so may result in drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle movement which could result in serious vehicle damage or personal injury.

Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer (such as the dynamometers used by some states for emissions testing) or similar equipment even if the other two wheels are raised off the ground. Make sure you inform test facility personnel that your vehicle is equipped with AWD before it is placed on a dynamometer. Using the wrong test equipment may result in drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle movement which could result in serious vehicle damage or personal injury.

When a wheel is off the ground due to unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel excessively.
- When a wheel is off the ground due to d unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel excessively.
- Accelerating quickly, sharp steering ma- - maneuvers or sudden braking may cause loss of control.
- If at all possible, avoid sharp turning maneuvers, particularly at high speeds. Your and INFINITI vehicle has a higher center of or gravity than a passenger car. The vehicle is not designed for cornering at the same speed as passenger cars. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly could result in loss of control and/or a rollover accident.

Always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction (bias, bias-belted, or radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels. Install tire chains on the front wheels when driving on slippery roads and drive carefully.

Be sure to check the brakes immediately after driving in mud or water. For additional information, refer to "Brake precautions" in this section.

  • Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If you get out of the vehicle and it rolls forward, backward or sideways, you can could be injured.
  • Whenever you drive off-road through sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel hub, more frequent maintenance may be required. For additional information, refer to "Maintenance under severe operating conditions" in the "Maintenance and schedules" section of this manual.

INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (if so equipped)

WARNING

  • Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
  • Always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels. Install tire chains on the front wheels when driving on slippery roads and drive carefully.
  • This vehicle is not designed for off-road (roughroad)use.Do notdrive on sandy or muddy roads that tires may get stuck in.
  • For AWD equipped vehicles, do not attempt to raise two wheels off the ground and shift the transmission to any D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position with the engine running. Doing so may result in drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle movement which could result in serious vehicle damage or personal injury.

  • Do not attempt to test an AWDequipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer (such as the dynamometers used by some states for emissions testing) or similar equipment even if the other two wheels are raised off the ground. Make sure you inform test facility personnel that your vehicle is equipped with AWD before it is placed on a dynamometer. Using the wrong test equipment may result in drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle movement which could result in serious vehicle damage or personal injury.

  • When a wheel is off the ground due to an unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel excessively.

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 three consecutive times in quick succession 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.

BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations for the BSI system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.

  • The BSI system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
  • The radar sensors may not be able to detect and activate BSI when certain objects are present such as:

  • Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.

  • Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clearance vehicles.
  • Oncoming vehicles.
  • Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop. For additional information, refer to "BSI driving situations" in this section.
  • A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as your vehicle. For additional information, refer to "BSI driving situations" in this section.

  • A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. For additional information, refer to "BSI driving situations" in this section.

  • A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly. For additional information, refer to "BSI driving situations" in this section.
  • A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
  • When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first vehicle may not be detected if they are traveling close together.

  • The radar sensors' detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the radar sensors may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
    The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects; however, objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal driving condition.

  • The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other s vehicles:

  • Severe weather
  • Road spray
  • Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
  • Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors. These conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
  • The camera may not detect lane markers in the following situations and the BSI system may not operate properly:

  • On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.

  • On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
  • On roads where there are sharp curves.

  • On roads where there are sharply trasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs.

  • On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
  • When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane markers.
  • When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection range.
  • When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of a lane camera unit.
  • When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is not adjusted properly.
  • When strong light enters a lane camera unit (e.g., light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset).
  • When a sudden change in brightness occurs (e.g., when the vehicle enters exits a tunnel or under a bridge).

Do not use the BSI system under the lowing conditions because the system may not function properly:
- During bad weather (e.g., rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- During bad weather (e.g., rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
- When driving on winding or uneven roads.
- When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
- When driving in a makeshift lane.
- When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.

BCI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations for the BCI system. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the BCI system could result in serious injury or death.

  • The BCI system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
  • Always check surroundings and turn to check what is behind you before backing up. The radar sensors detect approaching (moving) vehicles. The radar sensors cannot detect every object such as:

  • Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child-operated toy vehicles

  • A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 15 mph (24 km/h)

- The radar sensors may not detect approaching vehicles in certain situations:

  • Illustration a: When a vehicle parked next to you obstructs the beam of the radar sensor.
  • Illustration b: When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.

  • Illustration c: When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.

  • Illustration d: When an approaching vehicle turns into your vehicle's parking lot aisle.
  • Illustration e: When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching vehicle is small.

  • The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects; however, objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal operation condition.

  • The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles:

  • Severe weather

  • Road spray
  • Ice/frost/dirt build up on the vehicle
  • Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near theradarsensors. These conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.

- The sonar sensors detect stationary objects behind the vehicle. The sonar sensor may not detect:

  • Small or moving objects
  • Wedge-shaped objects
  • Objects close to the bumper (less than approximately 1 ft [30 cm])
  • Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.

The brake engagement by the BCI system is not as effective on a slope as it is on ground. When on a steep slope the system may not function properly.

Do not use the BCI system under the following conditions because the system may not function properly:
- When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g., tire wear, low tire pressure, installation of spare tire, tire chains, non-standard wheels).
- When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspension parts.
- Do not use the BCI system when towing trailer.

- Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE

In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the 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 system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following a vehicle traveling in the same lane and direction.

If the radar sens® detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the selected distance.

The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to approximately 40% of vehicle braking power) if necessary.

The detection range of the sensor is approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

5-86 Starting and driving

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is designed to maintain a selected distance from the vehicle in front of you and can reduce the speed to match a slower vehicle ahead. The system will decelerate the vehicle, as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC system can only apply up to 40% of the vehicle's total braking power.

This system should only be used when traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance between vehicles may become closer because the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system will sound a warning chime and blink the system display to notify the driver to take necessary action.

This system does not correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the distance to the vehicle ahead and the surrounding circumstances in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles.

  • If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the htvehicle decelerates to a standstill within the limitations of the system. The system will cancel once it judges that the vehicle has come to a standstill and sound a warning chime. To prevent the vehicle from moving, the driver must depress the brake pedal.
  • Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manually control the proper following distance. The ICC system may not be able to maintain the selected distance between vehicles (following distance) or selected vehicle speed under some circumstances.

-The system may not detect the vehicle in front of you in certain road or weather conditions. To avoid accidents, never use the ICC system under the following conditions:

  • On roads where the traffic is heavy or there are sharp curves
  • On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
  • During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
  • When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the bumper around the distance sensor
  • On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set vehicle speed and frequent braking may result in overheating the brakes)
  • On repeated uphill and downhill roads
  • When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper distance between vehicles because of frequent acceleration or deceleration
  • Interference by other radar sources

- Do not use the ICCsystem if you are towing a trailer. The system may not detect vehicle ahead.

- In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle or object can unexpectedly come into the sensor detection zone and cause automatic braking. Always stay alert and avoid using the ICC system where not recommended in this warning section.

- When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc. A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detection zone due to its position within the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be detected in the same lane ahead if they are traveling offset from the centerline of the The ICC system is designed to automatically lane. A vehicle that is entering the lane ahead check the sensor's operation within the limi-may not be detected until the vehicle has completely moved into the lane.

The radar sensor will not detect the following actions of the system.

objects:

• Stationary and slow moving vehicles
- Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
- Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane

The sensor generally detects the signals returned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannot detect the reflection from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not maintain the selected distance.

When the sensor is covered with dirt or is if obstructed, the system will automatically be by canceled. If the sensor is covered with ice, ing transparent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In these vehicle 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. Be sure to check and clean the sensor regularly.

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you by blinking the system indicator and sounding the chime. The driver may have to manually control the proper distance away from vehicle traveling ahead.

The following are some conditions in which the sensor cannot properly detect a vehicle ahead and the system may not operate properly:

The detection zone of the radar 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.

- When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles reduces the sensor's detection.

ICC system operation

The ICC system is designed to maintain a selected distance from the vehicle in front of you and can reduce the speed to match a slower vehicle ahead. The system decelerates the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC system can only apply up to 40% of the vehicle's total

braking power. This system should only be The ICC system operates as follows:

used when traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance between vehicles may become closer because the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system sounds a warning chime and blinks the system display to notify the driver to take necessary action.

The ICC system cancels and a warning chime sounds if the speed is below approximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not detected ahead.

When there are no vehicles traveling ahead, the ICC system maintains the speed set by the driver. The set speed range is between approximately 20 and 90 mph (32 and 144 km/h).

When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain the distance, selected by the driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC system keeps the vehicle stopped.

  • When your vehicle is at a standstill for more than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to accelerate, push the RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelerator pedal. The ICC system starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
  • When the vehicle traveling ahead moves to a different traveling lane, the ICC system accelerates and maintains vehicle speed up to the set speed.

The ICC system does not control vehicle speed or warn you when you approach stationary and slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to vehicle operation to maintain proper distance from vehicles ahead when approaching toll gates or traffic congestion.

INFINITI QX50 (2019) - ICC system operation - 1

Normally when controlling the distance to a vehicle ahead, the system automatically accelerates or decelerates your vehicle according to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

Depress the accelerator to properly accelerate your vehicle when acceleration is required for a lane change. Depress the brake pedal when deceleration is required to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead due to sudden braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when using the ICC system.

When driving on the freeway at a set speed and approaching a slower traveling vehicle ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain the distance, selected by the driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway, the ICC system accelerates and maintains the speed up to the set speed. Pay attention to the driving operation to maintain control of the vehicle as it accelerates to the set speed.

The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you will have to manually control the vehicle speed.

When passing another vehicle, the set speed indicator ⑧ flashes when the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed. The vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off when the area ahead of the vehicle is open. When the pedal is released, the vehicle returns to the previously set speed. Even though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC system, you can depress the accelerator pedal when it is necessary to accelerate your vehicle rapidly.

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 indicator and set distance indicator blink.
  • You judge it necessary to maintain a safe distance.

The warning chime may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between vehicles. Some examples are:

When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between vehicles is not changing.

When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster and the distance between vehicles is increasing.

When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle. e warning chime will not sound when:

- Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.

The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-riding the system.

5-122 Starting and driving

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may sound and the system display may flash when the radar sensor detects objects on the side of the vehicle or on the side of the road. This may cause the ICC system to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The radar sensor may detect these objects when the vehicle is driven on winding, narrow, or hilly roads or when the vehicle is entering or exiting a curve. In these cases, you will have to manually control the proper distance ahead of your vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle conditions (for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage).

ICC system limitations

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations for the ICC system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death:

- The ICC system is primarily intended for use on straight, dry, open roads with light traffic. It is not advisable to use the ICC system in city traffic or congested areas.

The ICC system will not adapt automatically to road conditions. This system should be used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not use the system on roads with sharp curves or on icy roads, in heavy ra or in fog.

As there is a performance limit to the distance control function, never rely solely on the ICC system. This system does not correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather. Deelerate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the distance to the vehicle ahead and the surrounding circumstances in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles.

- When the ICC system automatically brings the car to a stop, your vehicle can automatically accelerate if the vehicle is stopped for less than approximately 3 seconds. Be prepared to stop your vehicle if necessary.

Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manually control the proper following distance. The ICC system may not be able to maintain the selected distance between vehicles (following distance) or selected vehicle speed under some circumstances.

- The system may not detect the vehicle in airfront of you in certain road or weather conditions. To avoid accidents, never use the ICC system under the following dis-conditions:

  • On roads with heavy, high-speed traffic or sharp curves
  • On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
  • During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
  • When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the bumper around the distance sensor
  • On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set vehicle speed and frequent braking may result in overheating the brakes)
  • On repeated uphill and downhill roads

  • When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper distance between vehicles because of frequent acceleration or deceleration

  • Interference by other radar sources.
  • Do notuse the ICCsystem if you are towing a trailer. The system may not detect a vehicle ahead.
  • In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle or object can unexpectedly come into the sensor detection zone and cause automatic braking. Alwaysstay alert and avoid using the ICC system where not recommended in this warning section.
    The ICC system will not detect the following objects:
  • Stationary or slow moving vehicles
  • Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
  • Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
  • Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
    The following are some conditions in which The detection zone of the radar sensor is the radar sensor cannot properly detect a limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the detect-vehicle ahead and the system may not operation zone for the ICC system to maintain the ate properly: selected distance from the vehicle ahead. A
  • When the sensor detection is reduced (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and road spray from other vehicles)
  • Driving on a steep downhill slope or roof with sharp curves
  • Driving on a bumpy road surface, such an uneven dirt road
  • If dirt, ice, snow or other material is co ering the radar sensor area

    • Interference by other radar sources
  • When your vehicle is towing a trailer, et
  • When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of your vehicle.
    The ICC system is designed to automatically check the radar sensor's operation within the limitations of the system.
    The detection zone of the radar sensor is limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for the ICC system to maintain the selected distance from the vehicle ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detection zone due to its position within the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be detected in the same lane ahead if they are traveling offset from the center line of the lane. A vehicle that is entering the lane ahead may not be detected until the vehicle has completely moved into the lane.
    If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you by blinking the system indicator and sounding the chime. The driver may have to manually control the proper distance away from the vehicle traveling ahead.
    The ICC system (with ProPILOT™ Assist) uses a multi-sensing front camera. The following are some conditions in which the camera may not properly detect a vehicle and detection of a vehicle ahead may be delayed:
  • Poor visibility (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and road spray from other vehicles)
    The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water drops, ice, snow, etc.

  • Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) enters the front camera

  • Strong light causes the area around the pedestrian to be cast in a shadow, making it difficult to see
  • A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning flashes)

STEERING ASSIST

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the Steering Assist could result in serious injury or death.

- The Steering Assist is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not designed to correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving. The Steering Assist will not always steer the vehicle to keep it in the lane. It is not designed to 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.

As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist's capability, never rely solely on the system. The Steering Assist does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions. Always drive safely, pay attention to the operation of the vehicle, and manually control your vehicle appropriately.

- The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed freeways or highways with gentle (moderate) curves. To avoid risk of an accident, do not use this system on local or non-highway roads.

- The Steering Assist only steers the vehicle to maintain its position in the center of a lane. The vehicle will not steer to avoid objects in the road in front of the vehicle or to avoid a vehicle moving into your lane.

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. Never take your hands off the steering wheel when driving. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and drive your vehicle safely.

5-128 Starting and driving

- Always drive carefully and attentively when using the Steering Assist. Read and understand the Owner's Manual thoroughly before using the Steering Assist. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the vehicle's speed in emergency situations. Do not use the Steering Assist except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.

Steering Assist operation

The Steering Assist controls the steering system to help keep your vehicle near the center of the lane when driving. The Steering Assist is combined with the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional information, refer to "Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (with ProPILOT™ Assist)" in this section.

The Steering Assist can be activated when the following conditions are met:

  • The ICC system is activated.
  • Lane markers on both sides are clearly detected.
  • A vehicle ahead is detected (when the vehicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph [60 km/h])
  • The driver grips the steering wheel.

The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.

The turn signals are not operated.

The windshield wiper is not operated in the low (LO) or high (HI) speed operation (the steering assist function is disabled after the wiper operates for approximately 10 seconds).

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the DCA system could result in serious injury or death.

- Always drive carefully and attentively when using the DCA system. Read and understand the Owner's Manual thoroughly before using the DCA system. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the vehicle's speed in emergency situations. Do not use the DCA system except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.

The 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.

  • As there is a performance limit to the distance control function, never rely solely on the DCA system. This system does not correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the distance to the vehicle ahead and the surrounding circumstances in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles.
  • Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manually decelerate to maintain the proper following distance. The DCA system may not be able to decelerate the vehicle under some circumstances.

This system only brakes and moves the accelerator pedal upward to help assist the driver to maintain a following distance from the vehicle ahead. Acceleration should be operated by the driver.

- The DCA system does not control the vehicle speed or warn you when you approach stationary and slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to vehicle operation to maintain proper distance from vehicles ahead.

  • The DCA system automatically decelerates your vehicle to help assist the driver to maintain a following distance from the vehicle ahead. Manually brake when deceleration is required to maintain a safe distance upon sudden braking by the vehicle ahead or when a vehicle suddenly appears in front of you. Always stay alert when using the DCA system.
  • If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within the limitations of the system. The system will cancel with a warning chime once it judges that the vehicle has come to a standstill. To prevent the vehicle from moving, the driver must depress the brake pedal.

The DCA system is intended to assist the driver in keeping a following distance from the vehicle ahead traveling in the same lane and direction.

If the radar sensor detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle speed to help assist the driver to maintain a following distance.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the DCA system could result in serious personal injury or death.

  • When the vehicleahead detection indicator light is not illuminated, the system will not control the vehicle or warn the driver.
  • Never place your foot under the brake pedal. Your foot may be caught when the system controls the brake.
  • Depending on the position of the accelerator pedal, the system may not be able to assist the driver to release the accelerator pedal appropriately.

The DCA system brakes and moves the accelerator pedal upward according to the distance from and the relative speed of the vehicle ahead to help assist the driver in maintaining a following distance. The system will decelerate as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. However, the DCA system can only apply up to approximately 40% of the vehicle's total braking power. If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or in a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance between vehicles may become closer because the DCA system cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs, the DCA system will sound a warning chime and blink the system display to notify the driver to take necessary action. For additional information, refer to "Approach warning" in this section.

INFINITI QX50 (2019) - WARNING - 2

text_image Safety Shield STANDARD 999999 miles D 1999 miles LSD2991

The DCA system helps assist the driver to keep a following distance to the vehicle ahead by braking and moving the accelerat pedal upward in the normal driving condition

When vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead:

  • If the driver's foot is not on the accelerator pedal, the system activates the brakes to decelerate smoothly as necessary. If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within the limitations of the system.
  • If the driver's foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system moves the accelerator pedal upward to assist the driver to release the accelerator pedal.

When brake operation by driver is required:

The system alerts the driver by a warning chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detection indicator. If the driver's foot is on the accelerator pedal after the warning, the system moves the accelerator pedal upward to assist the driver to switch to the brake pedal

When a vehicle is detected ahead:

The vehicle ahead detection indicator comes on.

NOTE:

The stop lights of the vehicle come on when braking is performed by the DCA system.
- When the brakeoperates,anoise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.

Overriding the system:

The following driver's operations override the system operation:

  • When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal even further while the system is moving the accelerator pedal upward, the DCA system control of the accelerator pedal is canceled.
  • When the driver's foot is on the accelerator pedal, the brake control by the system is not operated.
  • When the driver's foot is on the brake pedal, neither the brake control nor the alert by the system operates.
  • When the ICC system is set, the DCA system will be canceled.

- The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.

The warning chime may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between vehicles. Some examples are:

When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between vehicles is not changing

When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster and the distance between vehicles is increasing

- When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle. The warning chime will not sound when you vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may sound and the system display may blink when the radar sensor detects objects on the side of the road. This may cause the DCA system to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The radar sensor may detect these objects when the vehicle is driven on winding roads, narrow roads, hilly roads or when entering or exiting a curve. In these cases you will have to manage control the proper distance ahead of your vehicle.

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).

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 DCA system display. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:

- The chime sounds.

FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy from your vehicle.

1. Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake Pedal Application

  • Avoid rapid starts and stops.
  • Use smooth, gentle accelerator and brake application whenever possible.
  • Maintain constant speed while commuting and coast whenever possible.

2. Maintain Constant Speed

  • Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
  • Synchronizing your speed with traffic lights allows you to reduce your number of stops.
  • Maintaining a steady speed can minimize red light stops and improve fuel efficiency.

3. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher Vehicle Speeds

Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to open windows to cool the vehicle due to reduced engine load.

  • Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle due to increased aerodynamic drag.
  • Recirculating the cool air in the cabin when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.

4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Distances

  • Observing the speed limit and not exceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where legally allowed) can improve fuel efficiency due to reduced aerodynamic drag.
  • Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces unnecessary braking.
  • Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced braking and smooth acceleration changes.
  • Select a gear range suitable to road conditions.

5. Use Cruise Control

- Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady speed.

- Cruise control is particularly effective in providing fuel savings when driving on flat terrains.

6. Plan for the Shortest Route

- Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save time.

7. Avoid Idling

- Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves fuel and reduces emissions.

8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads

- Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruising speed through the toll and avoid stopping and starting.

9. Winter Warm Up

  • Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
  • Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to effectively circulate the engine oil before driving.
  • Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating temperature more quickly while driving versus idling.

Starting and driving 5-171

INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) (if so equipped)

10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool

  • Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever possible.
  • When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the inside temperature faster, resulting in reduced demand on your A/C system.

  • Keep your engine tuned up.

  • Follow the recommended scheduled maintenance.
  • Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
  • Keep all the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
  • Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, refer to "Engine oil and oil filter recommendations" in the "Technical and consumer information" section of this manual.

If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent AWD system while the engine is running, messages are displayed in the meter.

  • When the Direct Adaptive Steering system malfunctions or does not operate normally (including activating the protection mechanism).
  • When the Infiniti InTouch™ system malfunctions or does not operate normally.
  • While driving (the vehicle is not stopped).

\*BRAKE PRECAUTIONS

Vacuum assisted brakes

The brake booster aids braking by using engine vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. However, greater foot pressure on the brake pedal will be required to stop the vehicle and stopping distance will be longer.

Using the brakes

Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the brake pads faster, and reduce gas mileage.

To help reduce brake wear and to prevent brakes from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a lower gear before going do a slope or long grade. Overheated brakes may reduce braking performance and could result in loss of vehicle control.

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.

Wet brakes

When the vehicle is washed or driven through water, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your braking distance will be longer and the vehicle may pull to one side during braking.

To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed while lightly pressing the brake pedal to heat up the brakes. Do this until the brake return to normal. Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds until the brakes function correctly.

Parking brake break-in

Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or rotors are replaced, in order to assure the best brake performance.

Starting and driving

This procedure is described in the INFINITI Service Manual. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

  • The 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. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the driver is responsible for safety.
  • Tire type and condition may also affect braking effectiveness.

- When replacing tires, install the specified size of tires on all four wheels.

  • When installing aspare tire, make sure that it is the proper size and type as specified on the Tire and Loading Information label. For additional information, refer to "Tire and Loading Information label" in the "Technical and consumer information" section of this manual.
  • For additional information, refer to "Wheels and tires" in the "Do-it-yourself" section of this manual.

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may result in increased stopping distances.

Self-test feature

The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you start the engine and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward or reverse. When the self-

- The ABS controls the brakes so the wheel not lock during hard braking or when brake 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. By preventing each wheel from locking, the system helps the driver maintain steering control and helps to minimize swerving and spinning on slippery surfaces.

Using the system

Depress the brake pedal and hold it down. Depress the brake pedal with firm steady pressure, but do not pump the brakes. The Anti-lock Braking System will operate to prevent the wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle to avoid obstacles.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during the self-test or while driving, have the vehicle checked. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Normal operation

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) operates at speeds above 3 - 6 mph (5 - 10 km/h). The speed varies according to road conditions.

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM

brakes very quickly. You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise from under the hood or feel a vibration from the actuator when it is operating. This is normal and indicates that the ABS is operating properly. However, the pulsation may indicate that road conditions are hazardous and extra care is required while driving.

BRAKE ASSIST

When the force applied to the brake pedal exceeds a certain level, the brake assist is activated generating greater braking force than a conventional brake booster even with light pedal force.

WARNING

The brake assist is only an aid to assist braking operation 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 time 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).

- Controls brake pressure at individual wheels and engine output to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle in the following conditions:

  • Understeer (vehicle tends to not follow the steered path despite increased steering input)
  • Oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due certain road or driving conditions)

The VDC system can help the driver to maintain control of the vehicle, but it cannot prevent loss of vehicle control in all driving situations.

The road may be slippery or the system may determine some action is required to help keep the vehicle on the steered path
You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or vibration from under the hood. This is normal and indicates that the VDC system is working properly.
Adjust your speed and driving to the road conditions.

For additional information, refer to "Slip indicator light" and "Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF indicator light" in the "Instruments and controls" section of this manual.

If a malfunction occurs in the system, the ① and ② indicator lights come on in the instrument panel. The VDC system automatically turns off when these indicator lights are on.

The lower display is used to turn off the VD system. The indicator illuminates to indicate the VDC system is off.

When the lower display is used to turn off a system, the VDC system still operates to prevent one drive wheel from slipping by transferring power to a non-slipping drive wheel. The indicator flashes if this occurs. All other VDC functions are off and the indicator will not flash.

The VDC system is automatically reset to on when the ignition switch is placed in the OFI position then back to the ON position.

The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you state the engine and move the vehicle forward or reverse at a slow speed. When the self-test occurs, you may hear a clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. This is normal and is not an indication of a malfunction.

WARNING

  • The VDC system is designed to help the driver maintain controllability but does not prevent accidents due to abrupt steering operation at high speeds or by careless or dangerous driving techniques. Reduce vehicle speed and be especially careful when driving and cornering on slippery surfaces and always drive carefully.

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.

CLEANING EXTERIOR

In order to maintain the appearance of you WASHING vehicle, it is important to take proper care of

it.

To protect the paint surfaces, 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.

When it is necessary to park outside, park in shady area or protect the vehicle with a body cover.

Be careful not to scratch the paint surface, when putting on or removing the body cover.

Wash dirt off with a wet sponge and plen of water. Clean the vehicle thoroughly using mild soap, a special vehicle soap or general purpose dishwashing liquid mixed with clean lukewarm (never hot) water.

CAUTION

  • Do not use car washes that use acid in detergent. Some car washes, especially brushless ones, use some acid for cleaning. The acid may react with some plastic vehicle components, causing them to crack. This could affect their appearance and also could cause them not to function properly. Always check with your car wash to confirm that acid is not used.
    Do not wash the vehicle with strong household soap, strong chemical detergents, gasoline or solvents.
    Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunliger, or while the vehicle body is hot, as the surface may become water-spotted.
  • Avoid using tight-napped or rough cloths, such as washing mitts. Care must be taken when removing caked-on dirt or other foreign substances so the paint surface is not scratched or damaged.

Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of clean water.

Inside edges, seams and folds on the doors, hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable to the effects of road salt. Therefore, these areas must be cleaned regularly. Take care that the drain holes in the lower edge of the door are open. Spray water under the body and in the wheel wells to loosen the dirt and wash away road salt.

A damp chamois can be used to dry the vehicle to avoid water spots.

WAXING

Regular waxing protects the paint surface and helps retain new vehicle appearance. Polishing is recommended to remove built-up wax residue and to avoid a weathered appearance before re-applying wax.
An INFINITI retailer can assist you in choosing the proper product.

- Wax your vehicle only after a thorough washing. Follow the instructions supplied with the wax.

or. Do not use a wax containing any abrasives, cutting compounds or cleaners that may damage the vehicle finish.

7-2 Appearance and care

Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish r dull the finish or leave swirl marks.

REMOVING SPOTS

Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible from the surface of the paint to avoid lasting day or staining. Special cleaning products are available at an INFINITI retailer or any auto-motive accessory store. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for these products.

UNDERBODY

In areas where road salt is used in winter, it necessary to clean the underbody regularly in order to prevent dirt and salt from building and causing the acceleration of corrosion on the underbody and suspension. Before the winter period and again in the spring, the underseal must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.

GLASS

Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to become coated with a film after the vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will easily remove this film.

CAUTION

When cleaning the inside of the windows, do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or chlorine-based disinfectant cleaners. They could damage the electrical conductors, radio antenna elements or red window defroster elements.

ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS

Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution, especially during winter months in areas where road salt is used. If not removed, road salt can discolor the wheels.

it is

CAUTION

Follow the directions below to avoid staining or discoloring the wheels:

Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acidic or alkali contents to clean the wheels.

Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels when they are hot. The wheel temperature should be the same as ambient temperature.

Rinse the wheel to completely remove the cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is applied.

CHROME PARTS

Clean all chrome parts regularly with a non-abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish.

TIRE DRESSINGS

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 tire 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. The coating on the tire dissolves more easily than with an oil-based tire dressing.

Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help prevent it from entering the tire tread/grooves (where it would be difficult to remove).

Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing is completely removed from the tire tread/grooves.

- Allow the tire dressing to dry as recommended by tire dressing manufacturer.

CLEANING INTERIOR

This vehicle has new and unique surfaces on the center console and door pull finishers. If cleaning is required use mild soap and water. However if mild soap and water won't clean the center console and door pull finishers, use Genuine INFINITI Vinyl and Leather Cleaner (or equivalent).

Occasionally remove loose dust from the interior trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with a clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.

Regular care and cleaning is required in order to maintain the appearance of the leather.

Before using any fabric protector, read the manufacturer's recommendations. Some fabric protectors contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the seat material.

Use a cloth dampened only with water to clean the meter and gauge lens.

Use a slightly moist (with water) microfiber cloth to clean the wood trim. If necessary, water with natural soap or wood dedicated cleaning products, such as furniture polish.

WARNING

Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the seat or occupant classification series. This can also affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION

- Never use benzine, thinner, or any similar material on the interior surfaces or surface damage may occur. Such damage is not covered under the INFINITI warranty.

- Small dirt particles can be abrasive and damaging to leather surfaces and should be removed promptly. Do not use saddle soap, car waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage the leather's natural finish.

- Never use fabric protectors unless recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter or gauge lens covers. It may damage the lens cover.

LEATHER CLEANING KIT (if so equipped)

Spray onto leather cleaning cloth, then gently wipe the surface of the leather. Use a dry towel to absorb any excess moisture.

Clean light-colored leather more frequently because soiling on such surfaces is much more visible.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the leather cleaning kit.

*You can obtain the leather cleaning kit from an INFINITI retailer or other authorized repair shop.

CAUTION

Do not leave the leather cleaning kit inside the vehicle. The leather cleaning kit left in a closed vehicle can become very hot.

7-4 Appearance and care

AIR FRESHENERS

Most air fresheners use a solvent that could affect the vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener, take the following precautions:

  • Hanging-type air fresheners can cause permanent discoloration when they contact vehicle interior surfaces. Place the air freshener in a location that allows it to hang free and not contact an interior surface.
  • Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on the vents. These products can cause immediate damage and discoloration when spilled on interior surfaces.

Carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions before using the air fresheners.

POWER MOONROOF (if so equipped)

The sunshade is made from a tricot material.

CAUTION

To help prevent damaging the moonroof while cleaning:

- Do not rub the material with a cloth. Doing so can damage the surface of the material or cause a stain to spread.

  • Never use benzine, thinner or any similar chemical to clean the sunshade. This may discolor the moonroof and damage the surface.
  • Clean water based stains by patting the surface with a clean soft cloth dampened in warm water. Press a clean dry cloth onto the surface to remove as much dampness as possible and then let air dry.
  • Clean oil based stains by patting the surface with a clean soft cloth dampened in warm water. Press a clean dry cloth onto the surface to remove as much dampness as possible and then let air dry.

not SEAT BELTS

The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution. Allow the belts to dry completely in the shade before using them. For additional information, refer to "Seat belt maintenance" in the "Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system" section of this manual.

CORROSION PROTECTION

WARNING

Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye or chemical solvents to clean the seat belts, since these materials may severely weaken the seat belt webbing.

CLEANING THE SEAT TRACKS

A CAUTION

Periodically clean the seat tracks to prevent reduction of ability to move the seats.

Clean periodically with a high-powered vacuum cleaner. Dirt and debris may reduce the ability to adjust the seat. A wet cleansi agent may be used if necessary.

MOST COMMON FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE the CORROSION

Most vehicle corrosion is caused by:

  • 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 collisions.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCE THE RATE OF CORROSION

Moisture

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the vehicle body underside can accelerate corrosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry completely inside the vehicle and should be removed for drying to avoid floor panel corrosion.

Relative humidity

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high relative humidity, especially those areas where the temperatures stay above freezing and where atmospheric pollution exists and road salt is used.

Temperature

High temperatures accelerate the rate of corrosion to those parts which are not well ventilated.

Air pollution

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air in coastal areas, or heavy road salt use accelerates the corrosion process. Road salt also accelerates the disintegration of paint surfaces.

PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM CORROSION

Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the vehicle clean.

· Always check for minor damage to the paint and repair it as soon as possible.
- Keep drain holes at the bottom of the doors open to avoid water accumulation.

Check the underbody for accumulation of sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water as soon as possible.

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 or broom.
  • 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 de-icing 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.

In winter, the underbody must be cleaned periodically.

For additional protection against rust and corrosion, which may be required in some areas, it is recommended that you consult an INFINITI retailer.

TYPES OF TIRES

WARNING

- When changing or replacing tires, be sure all four tires are of the same type (i.e., Summer, All Season or Snow) and construction. An INFINITI retailer may be able to help you with information about tire type, size, speed rating and availability.

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

- Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the proper operation of the low tire pressure warning system.

  • Always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tires on the front and rear axles which can cause the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system to malfunction resulting in personal injury or death, excessive tire wear and may damage the trans mission, transfer case and differential gears.
  • For additional information regarding tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models

CAUTION

- ONLY use spare tires specified for the AWD model.

If excessive tire wear is found, it is recommended that all four tires be replaced with tires of the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tire pressure and wheel alignment should also be checked and

corrected as necessary. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

All season tires

INFINITI specifies All Season tires on some models to provide good performance all yed including snowy and icy road conditions. All Season tires are identified by ALL SEASON and/or M&S on the tire sidewall. Snow tire have better snow traction than All Season tires and may be more appropriate in some areas.

Summer tires

INFINITI specifies summer tires on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads. Summer tire performance is substantially reduced in snow and ice. Summer tires do not have the tire traction rating "M&S" on the tire sidewall.

If you plan to operate your vehicle in snow icy conditions, INFINITI recommends the use of SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires on a four wheels.

Snow tires

If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and load ratio to the original equipment tires. If you do it can adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.

Generally, snow tires have lower speed ratings than factory equipped tires and may match the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tire. If you install snow tires, they must be the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels.

For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However, some U.S. state and Canadian provinces prohibit their use. Check local, state and provincial laws before installing studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow tires on wet or surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.

Run-Flat Tires

Your vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires and is not equipped with a spare tire, or and tool kit. The jack and tool kit may be purchased at the dealer. Please consult an INFINITI retailer for additional information.

  • Although you can continue driving with a punctured run-flat tire, remember that vehicle handling stability is reduced, which could lead to an accident and personal injury. Also, driving a long distance at high speeds may damage the tire.
  • Do not drive at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h) and do not drive more than approximately 93 miles (150 km) with a punctured run-flat tire. The actual distance the vehicle can be driven on a flat-tire depends on outside temperature, vehicle load, read conditions and other factors.
  • Drive safely at reduced speeds. Avoid hard cornering or braking, which may cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
  • If you detect any unusual sounds or vibrations while driving with a punctured run-flat tire, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon as possible. The tire may be seriously damaged and need to be replaced.

CAUTION

Never install tire chains on a punctured run-flat tire, as this could damage your vehicle.

Avoid driving over any projection or pot-hole, as the clearance between the vehicle and the ground is smaller than normal.
- Do not enter an automated car wash with a punctured run-flat tire.

Have the punctured tire inspected by an INFINITI retailer or other authorized repair shop. Replace the tire as soon as possible if the tire is seriously damaged.

  • Always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tires on the front and rear axles which will cause excessive tire wear and may damage the transmission, transfer case and differential gears (AWD models).
  • ONLY use spare tires specified for the AWD model.

- If excessive tirewear is found, it is recommended that all four tires be replaced with tires of the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tire pressure and wheel alignment should also be checked and corrected as necessary. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

TIRE CHAINS

CAUTION

Tire chains/cables should not be installed on 255/45R20 size tires. Installation of the tire chains/cables on 255/45R20 size tires will cause damage to the vehicle. If plan to use tire chains/cables, you should install 235/55R19 size tires on your vehicle.

Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to location. Check the local laws before installing tire chains. When installing tire chains, make sure they are the proper size for the tires on your vehicle and are installed according to the chain manufacturer's suggestions. Use only SAEclass "S" chains. Class "S" chains are used on vehicles with restricted tire to vehicle clearance. Vehicles that can use Class "S" chains are designed to meet the minimum clearances between the tire and the

8-34 Do-it-yourself

closest vehicle suspension or body component required to accommodate the use of a winter traction device (tire chains or cables). The minimum clearances are determined using the factory equipped tire size. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners when recommended by the tire chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent the possibility of whipping action damage to the fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling and performance may be adversely affected.

Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with chains in such conditions can cause damage to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to some overstress.

'CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

^9 Tire rotation

INFINITI recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).

For additional information on tire replacing procedures, refer to "Flat tire" in the "In case of emergency" section of this manual.

As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque with a torque wrench.

Wheel nut tightening torque: 83 ft-lb (113 N·m)

The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to specifications at all times. It recommended that wheel nuts be tightened to specification at each tire rotation interval.

A WARNING

  • After rotating the tires, check and adjust the tire pressure.
  • Retighten thewheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for 600 miles (1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).
  • Do not include the spare tire in tire rotation.
  • For additional information regarding tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.

Tire wear and damage

  1. Wear indicator
  2. Location mark

A WARNING

- Tires should be periodically inspected for wear, cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are found, the tire(s) should be replaced.

  • The original tires have built-in tread wear indicators. When the 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. If it is necessary to repair the spare tire, it is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
  • For additional information regarding tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information"
  • (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.

Replacing wheels and tires

When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread design, speed rating and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. For additional information, refer to "Wheels and tires in the "Technical and consumer information" section of this manual.

WARNING

  • The use of tires other than those recommended or the mixed use of tires of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling, VDC system, ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury.
  • For 2WD models, if your vehicle was originally equipped with four tires that were the same size and you are only replacing two of the four tires, install the new tires on the rear axle. Placing new tires on the front axle may cause loss of vehicle control in some driving conditions and cause an accident and personal injury.

  • If the wheels are changed for any reason, always replace with wheels which have the same off-set dimension. Wheels of a different off-set could cause premature tire wear, degrade vehicle handling characteristics, affect the VDC system and/or interference with the brake discs. Such interference can lead to decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad wear. For additional information on wheel off-set dimensions, refer to "Wheels and tires" in the "Technical and consumer information" section of this manual.

  • When replacing a wheel without the TPMS, such as the spare tire, the TPMS will not function and the low tirepressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS system reset as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
  • Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
    The TPMS sensor may be damaged if not handled correctly. Be careful when handling the TPMS sensor.

When replacing the TPMS sensor, the ID registration may be required. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for ID registration.

Do not use a valve stem cap that is not specified by INFINITI. The valve stem cap may become stuck.

  • Be sure that the valve stem caps are correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve may be clogged up with dirtandcauseamalfunction or loss of pressure.
  • Do not install a damaged or deformed wheel or tire even if it has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could have structural damage and could fail without warning.

The use of retread tires is not recommended.

- 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.

Wheel balance service should be performed with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle could lead to mechanical damage.

For additional information regarding tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.

Care of wheels

  • Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to maintain their appearance.
  • Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle is washed.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the wheels.
  • Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
  • INFINITI recommends waxing the road wheels to protect against road salt in areas where it is used during winter.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions:

- Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon as possible.

- Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.

Use unleaded premium gasoline for maximum vehicle performance.

CAUTION

Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control system, and may also affect the warranty coverage.

- Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way catalyst.

- Do not use a fuel containing more than 15% ethanol in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on a fuel containing more than 15% ethanol. Using a fuel containing more than 15% ethanol in a vehicle not specifically designed for a fuel-containing more than 15% ethanol can adversely affect the emission control devices and systems of the vehicle. Damage caused by such fuel is not covered by the INFINITI New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

  • Do not use fuel that contains the octane booster methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel containing MMT may adversely affect vehicle performance and vehicle emissions. Not all fuel dispensers are labeled to indicate MMT content, so you may have to consult your gasoline retailer for more details. Note that Federal and California laws prohibit the use of MMT in reformulated gasoline.
  • U.S. government regulations require ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified by a small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region.

Reformulated gasoline

Some fuel suppliers are now producing reformulated gasolines. These gasolines are specially designed to reduce vehicle emissions. INFINITI supports efforts towards cleaner air and suggests that you use reformulated gasoline when available.

Gasoline containing oxygenates

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE and methanol with or without advertising their

presence. INFINITI does not recommend the if any driveability problems such as engine use of fuels of which the oxygenate contentstalling and difficult hot-starting are experi- and the fuel compatibility for your INFINITIenced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, im- cannot be readily determined. If in doubt, immediately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or your service station manager. a fuel with a low blend of MTBE.

If a methanol blend is used, it should contain no more than 5% methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). It should also contain a 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. At this time, sufficient data is not available to ensure that all methanol blends are suitable for use in INFINITI vehicles.

Gasoline specifications

INFINITI recommends using gasoline that meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) specifications where it is available. Many of the automobile manufacturers developed this specification to improve emission control system and vehicle performance. Ask your service station manager if the gas line meets the WWFC specifications.

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

Take care not to spill gasoline during refueling. Gasoline containing oxygenates can cause paint damage.

The fuel should be unleaded and have an octane rating no lower than that recommended for unleaded gasoline.

If an oxygenate-blend other than methanol blend is used, it should contain no more than 15% oxygenate.

10-4 Technical and consumer information

E-15 fuel

E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately 15% fuel ethanol and 85% unleaded gasoline.

E-15 can only be used in vehicles designed run on E-15 fuel. U.S. government regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified with small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region.

E-85 fuel

E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do not use E-85 in your vehicle U.S. government regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified by a small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region.

Fuel containing MMT

MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting additive. INFINITI does not recommend the use of f containing MMT. Such fuel may adversely affect vehicle performance, including the emissions control system. Note that while some fuel pumps label MMT content, not

Many of these additives intended for gum, varnish or deposit removal may contain active solvents or similar ingredients that can be harmful to the fuel system and engine. Octane rating tips. However, now and then you may notice light spark knock for a short time while accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a cause f concern, because you get the greatest fuel benefit when there is light spark knock for short time under heavy engine load.

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than recommended can cause persistent, heavy "spark knock." ("Spark knock" is a metallic rapping noise.) If severe, this can lead to engine damage. If you detect a persistent heavy spark knock even when using gasoline of the stated octanerating, or if you hear steady spark knock while holding a steady speed on level roads, it is recommended that you have an INFINITI retailer correct the condition. Failure to correct the condition is misuse of the vehicle, for which INFINITI is not responsible.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RECOMMENDATIONS

Selecting the correct oil

It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory engine life and performance. For additional information, refer to "Recommended fluids/lubricants and capacities" in this section. INFINITI recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.

International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils have the API certification mark on the front of a container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label should not be used as the could cause engine damage.

Oil additives

INFINITI does not recommend the use of oil additives. The use of an oil additive is not necessary when the proper oil type is used and maintenance intervals are followed.

Select only engine oils that meet the Ameri-Oil which may contain foreign matter or has can Petroleum Institute (API) certification or been previously used should not be used.

10-6 Technical and consumer information

Oil viscosity

The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes with temperature. Because of this, it is important to select the engine oil viscosity based on the temperatures at which the vehicle will be operated before the next oil change. Choosing an oil viscosity other than that recommended could cause serious engine damage.

Selecting the correct oil filter

Your new INFINITI vehicle is equipped with a high-quality Genuine NISSAN oil filter. When replacing, use a Genuine NISSAN oil filter or its equivalent for the reason described in "Change intervals".

Change intervals

The oil and oil filter change intervals for your engine are based on the use of the specified quality oils and filters. Using engine oil and filters that are not of the specified quality, or exceeding recommended oil and filter change intervals could reduce engine life.

CAUTION

Damage to engine caused by improper maintenance or use of incorrect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not covered by the INFINITI New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Your engine was filled with a high-quality N engine oil when it was built. You do not have to change the oil before the first recommended change interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend upon how you use your vehicle.

Operation under the following conditions may require more frequent oil and filter changes:

  • repeated short distance driving at cold outside temperatures
  • driving in dusty conditions
  • extensive idling
  • towing a trailer
  • stop and go commuting

For additional information on maintenance schedules, refer to the "Maintenance and schedules" section of this manual.

AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM REFRIGERANT AND OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

The air conditioner system in your INFINIT vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the oil, Genuine NISSAN A/C System Oil Type ND-OIL8 or the exact equivalents.

CAUTION

The use of any other refrigerant or oil will cause severe damage to the air conditioning system and will require the replacement of all air conditioner system components.

The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your INFINITI vehicle does not harm the earth's ozone layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the earth's atmosphere, certain government regulations require the recovery and recycling of any refrigerant during automotive air conditioner system service. An INFINITI retailer has the trained technicians and equipment needed to recover and recycle your air conditioner system refrigerant.

It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer when servicing your air conditioner system.

VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION

WARNING

  • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area inside a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
  • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
  • Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

TERMS

It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms before loading your vehicle:

- Curb Weight (actual weight of your vehicle) - vehicle weight including: standard and optional equipment, fluids, emergency tools, and spare tire assembly. This weight does not include passengers and cargo.

  • GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb weight plus the combined weight of passengers and cargo.
    GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - maximum total combined weight of the unloaded vehicle, passengers, luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load and any other optional equipment. This information is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
  • GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) - maximum weight (load) limit specified for the front or rear axle. This information is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
  • GCWR (Gross Combined Weight rating) - The maximum total weight rating of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and trailer.

- Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, Total load capacity - maximum total weight limit specified of the load (passengers and cargo) for the vehicle. This is the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo that can be loaded into the vehicle. If the vehicle is used to tow a trailer, the trailer tongue weight must be included as part of the cargo load. This information is located on the Tire and Loading Information label.

- Cargo capacity - permissible weight of cargo, the subtracted weight of occupants from the load limit.

10-14 Technical and consumer information

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle shown as "The combined weight of occupants and cargo" on the Tire and Loading Information label. Do not exceed the number of occupants shown as "Seating Capacity" on the Tire and Loading Information label.

To get "the combined weight of occupants and cargo", add the weight of a occupants, then add the total luggage weight. Examples are shown in the following illustration.

Steps for determining correct load limit

  1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs. or XXX kg" on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information label.
  2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
  3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX lbs. or XXX kg.
  4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For ex-

  5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.

  6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that you do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR for your vehicle. For additional information, refer to "Measurement of weights" in this section.

INFINITI QX50 (2019) - VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY - 2

Cargo area luggage hooks SECURING THE LOAD

There are luggage hooks located in the cargo area as shown. The hooks can be used to secure cargo with ropes or other types of straps.

When securing items using luggage hooks located on the side finisher do not apply a load over more than 6.5 lbs. (29 N) to a single hook.

The luggage hooks that are located on the floor should have loads less than 110 lbs. (490 N) to a single hook.

10-16 Technical and consumer information

WARNING

  • Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
  • The child restraint top tether strap may be damaged by contact with items in the cargo area. Secure any items in the cargo area. Your child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the top tether strap is damaged.
  • Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of your vehicle can break, tire damage could occur, or it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could result in loss of control and cause personal injury.

LOADING TIPS

- The GVW must not exceed GVWR or GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.

- Do not load the front and rear axle to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.

WARNING

- Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seat-backs. In a sudden stop or collision unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of your vehicle break, tire damage could occur, it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could result in loss control and cause personal injury.

Overloading not only can shorten the life of your vehicle and the tire, but can also cause unsafe vehicle handling and longer braking distances. This may cause a premature tire failure which could result in a serious accident and personal injury. Failures caused by overloading are not covered by the vehicle's warranty.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of your vehicle. When the vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh the front and the rear wheels separately to determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed either of the gross axle weight ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads should not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). These ratings are given on the vehicle certification label. If weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to bring all weights below the ratings.

Overloading or improper loading of a trail and its cargo can adversely affect vehicle handling, braking and performance and may lead to accidents.

An INFINITI Towing Guide (U.S. only) is available on the website at www.InfinitiUSA.com. This guide includes information on trailer towing capability and the special equipment required for proper towing.

WARNING

The Lifestyle Receiver cannot be used for towing a trailer. Only use the Lifestyle Receiver for receiver mounted accessories that meet the below requirements.

  • The maximum allowable load is 300 lbs. (136 kg) including the weight of the installed accessory carrier.
  • Do not exceed allowable cargo weight capacity of your vehicle.

Failure to use the Lifestyle Receiver as intended can result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION

If your vehicle is equipped with the Lifest Receiver to avoid damage to your vehicle do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle with Lifestyle Receiver (if so equipped). The Lifestyle Receiver should be used for receiver-mounted accessories only. The Lifestyle Receiver is designed for carrying bikes, snow boards/skis, camping gear and various other bulky items.

MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS

Maximum trailer loads

Never allow the total trailer load to exceed the value specified in the following Towing Load/Specification Chart found in this section. The total trailer load equals trailer weight plus its cargo weight.

The maximum Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) should not exceed the value specified in the following Towing Load/Specification Chart.

INFINITI QX50 (2019) - MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS - 1

text_image yle the LTI2030

The GCWR equals the combined weight of the towing vehicle (including passengers and cargo) plus the total trailer load. Towing loads greater than these or using improper towing equipment could adversely affect vehicle handling, braking and performance.

- The ability of your vehicle to tow a trailer not only related to the maximum trailer load but also the places you plan to tow. Tow weights appropriate for level highway driving may have to be reduced for low traction situations (for example, on slippery boat ramps).

Temperature conditions can also affect towing. For example, towing a heavy trailer in high outside temperatures on graded roads

can affect engine performance and cause overheating. The engine protection mode, which helps reduce the chance of engine damage, could activate and automatically decrease engine power. Vehicle speed may decrease under high load. Plan your trip carefully to account for trailer and vehicle load, weather and road conditions.

WARNING

Overheating can result in reduced engine power and vehicle speed. The reduced speed may be lower than other traffic, which could increase the chance of a collision. Be especially careful when driving. If the vehicle cannot maintain a safe driving speed, pull to the side of the road in a sal area. Allow the engine to cool and return t normal operation. For additional information, refer to "If your vehicle overheats" in the "In case of emergency" section of this manual.

CAUTION

gVehicle damage resulting from improper towing procedures is not covered by INFINITI warranties.

Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)/maximum Gross Axle Weight (GAW)

When using a weight carrying or a weight distributing hitch, keep the tongue load between 10 - 15% of the total trailer load of the trailer tongue load specified by the trail manufacturer. The tongue load must be within the maximum tongue load limits shown in the following "Towing Load/Specification" chart. If the tongue load becomes excessive, rearrange cargo to allow for proper tongue load. the GVW of the towing vehicle must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label. The GVW equals the com-2. bined weight of the unloaded vehicle, passengers, luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load and any other optional equipment. In addition, front or rear GAW must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.

Towing capacities are calculated assuming a base vehicle with driver and any options required to achieve the rating. Additional passengers, cargo and/or optional equipment, such as the trailer hitch, will add weight to the vehicle and reduce your vehicle's maximum towing capacity and trailer tongue load.

The vehicle and trailer need to be weighed to confirm the vehicle is within the GVWR, Front GAWR, Rear GAWR, Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) and Towing capacity.

All vehicle and trailer weights can be measured using platform type scales commonly found at truck stops, highway weigh stations, building supply centers or salvage yards.

To determine the available payload capacity for tongue/king pin load, use the following procedure.

  1. Locate the GVWR on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label. n-2. Weigh your vehicle on the scale with all of the passengers and cargo that are normally in the vehicle when towing a trailer.

Subtract the actual vehicle weight from the GVWR. The remaining amount is the available maximum tongue/king pin load.

To determine the available towing capacity, Example: use the following procedure.

  1. Find the GCWR for your vehicle on the "Towing Load/Specification" chart found in this section.
  2. Subtract the actual vehicle weight from the GCWR. The remaining amount is the available maximum towing capacity.

To determine the Gross Trailer Weight, weigh your trailer on a scale with all equipment and cargo, that are normally in the trailer when it is towed. Make sure the Gross trailer weight is not more than the Gross Trailer Weight Rating shown on the trailer and is not more than the calculated available maximum towing capacity.

Also weigh the front and rear axles on the scale to make sure the Front Gross Axle Weight and Rear Gross Axle Weight are not more than Front Gross Axle Weight and Rear Gross Axle Weight on the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label. The cargo in the trailer and vehicle may need to be moved or removed to meet the specified ratings.

Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) as weighed on a scale - including passengers, cargo and hitch - 4,650 lbs. (2,109 kg).

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) from F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label - 4,916 lbs. (2,230 kg).

The available towing capacity may be less than the maximum towing capacity due to the passenger and cargo load in the vehicle.

Remember to keep trailer tongue weight between 10 - 15% of the trailer weight or with the trailer tongue load specification recommended by the trailer manufacturer. If the tongue load becomes excessive, rearrange the cargo to obtain the proper tongue load. Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight specification shown in the "Towing Load/Specification" chart even if the calculated available tongue weight is greater than 15%. If the calculated tongue weight is less than 10%, reduce the total trailer weight to match the available tongue weight.

Always verify that available capacities are within the required ratings.

TOWING LOAD/SPECIFICATION

WARNING

The towing capacities provided in this manual are for general reference only. The safe towing capacity of your vehicle is affected by dealer and factory installed options and passenger and cargo loads. You must weigh the vehicle and trailer as described in this manual to determine the actual vehicle towing capacity. Do not exceed the published maximum towing capacity or the GCWR or the GVWR shown on the FMVSS/CMVSS label. Doing so can result in an accident causing serious injury or property damage.

TOWING SAFETY

Trailer hitch

Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional trailer tow package. The trailer tow package includes a receiver-type frame mounted hitch. This hitch is rated for the maximum towing capacity of this vehicle when the proper towing equipment is used. Choose a proper ball mount and hitch ball that is rated for the trailer to be towed. Cine INFINITI ball mounts and hitch balls are available from an INFINITI retailer.

If your vehicle is not equipped with the optional trailer tow package, check the towing capacity of your bumper hitch or receiver-type frame mounted hitch. Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and trailer. A Genuine INFINITI trailer hitch is available from an INFINITI retailer. Make sure the trailer hitch is securely attached to the vehicle to help avoid personal injury or property damage due to sway caused by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks.

WARNING

Trailer hitch components have specific weightratings. Your vehicle may be capable of towing a trailer heavier than the weight rating of the hitch components. Never exceed the weight rating of the hitch components. Doing so can cause serious person injury or property damage.

Hitch ball

Choose a hitch ball of the proper size and weight rating for your trailer:

The required hitch ball size is stamped most trailer couplers. Most hitch balls also have the size printed on the top the ball.

Choose the proper class hitch ball based on the trailer weight.

The diameter of the threaded shank of the hitch ball must be matched to the mount hole diameter. The hitch ball should be no more than 1/16" smaller than the hole in the ball mount.

- The threaded shank of the hitch ball must vehicle, be long enough to be properly secured to the ball mount. There should be at least 2 threads showing beyond the lock washer and nut.

Ball mount

The hitch ball is attached to the ball mount and the ball mount is inserted into the hitch receiver. Choose a proper class ball mount based on the trailer weight. Additionally, the ball mount should be chosen to keep the trailer tongue level with the ground.

Weight carrying hitches

A weight carrying or "dead weight" ball mount is one that is designed to carry the whole amount of tongue weight and gross weight directly on the ball mount and on the Receiver.

Weight distribution hitch

This type of hitch is also called a "load-leveling" or "equalizing" hitch. A set of bars attach to the ball mount and to the trailer to distribute the tongue weight (hitch weight) of your trailer. Many vehicles can't carry the full tongue weight of a given trailer, and need some of the tongue weight transferred through the frame and pushing down on the front wheels. This gives stability to the tow

A weight-distributing hitch system (Class IV) is recommended if you plan to tow trailers with a maximum weight over 5,000 lbs. (2,268 kg). Check with the trailer and towing equipment manufacturers to determine if they recommend the use of a weight-distributing hitch system.

NOTE:

A weight-distributing hitch system may affect the operation of trailer surge brakes. you are considering use of a weight-distributing hitch system with a surge brake-equipped trailer, check with the surge brake, hitch or trailer manufacturer to determine if and how this can be done.

Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for installing and using the weight-distributing hitch system.

General set-up instructions are as follows:

  1. Park unloaded vehicle on a level surface With the ignition on and the doors closed, allow the vehicle to stand for several minutes so that it can level.
  2. Measure the height of a reference point on the front and rear bumpers at the center of the vehicle.

  3. Attach the trailer to the vehicle and adClass I hitch

just the hitch equalizers so that the fro bumper height is within 0-.5 inches (0 13 mm) of the reference height measured in step 2. The rear bumper should be no higher than the reference height measured in step 2.

Class I trailer hitch equipment (receiver, ball mount and hitch ball) can be used to tow trailers of a maximum weight of 2,000 lbs. (907 kg).

Class II hitch

WARNING

Properly adjust the weight distributing which so the rear of the bumper is no higher than the measured reference height when the trailer is attached. If the rear bumper is higher than the measured reference height when loaded, the vehicle may handle unpredictably which could cause a loss of vehicle control and cause serious personal injury or property damage.

Sway control device

Sudden maneuvers, wind gusts, and buffet- ing caused by other vehicles can affect trailer handling. Sway control devices may be used to help control these affects. If you choose to use one, contact a reputable trailer hitch supplier to make sure the sway control device will work with the vehicle, hitch, trailer and the trailer's brake system. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for installing Always and using the sway control device.

Class II trailer hitch equipment (receiver, ball mount and hitch ball) can be used to tow trailers of a maximum weight of 3,500 lbs. (1,587 kg).

Tire pressures

When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tires to the recommended cold tire pressure indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label.

Trailer tire condition, size, load rating and proper inflation pressure should be in accordance with the trailer and tire manufacturer's specifications.

Safety chains Always use suitable safety chains between your vehicle and the trailer. The safety chains

bumper. Be sure to leave enough slack in the vehicle. Adapters are available at auto parts chains to permit turning corners. stores and hitch retailers.

Trailer lights

CAUTION

When splicing into the vehicle electrical system, a commercially available power-type module/converter must be used to provide power for all trailer lighting. This unit uses the vehicle battery as a direct power source for all trailer lights while using the vehicle tail light, stop light and to signal circuits as a signal source. The module/converter must draw no more than 15 milliamps from the stop and tail lamp circuits. Using a module/converter that exceeds these power requirements may damage the vehicle's electrical system. See a reputable trailer retailer to obtain the proper equipment and to have it installed.

Trailer lights should comply with federal and/or local regulations. For assistance in hooking up trailer lights, contact an INFINITE retailer or reputable trailer retailer. Vehicles equipped with the optional trailer tow pack

Trailer brakes

Most states require a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight above specific amount, make sure the trailer meets the local regulations and the regulations where you plan to tow.

Several types of braking systems are available.

Surge Brakes - The surge brake actuator is mounted on the trailer tongue with a hydraulic line running to each trailer wheel. Surge brakes are activated by the trailer pushing against the hitch ball when the tow vehicle is braking. Hydraulic surge brakes are common on rental trailers and some boat trailers. In this type of system, there is no hydraulic or electric connection for brake operation between the tow vehicle and the trailer.

Electric Trailer Brakes - Electric braking sys-Items are activated by an electronic signal sent from a trailer brake controller (special-brake-sensing module).

WARNING

Never connect a trailer brake system directly to the vehicle brake system.

Pre-towing tips

Be certain your vehicle maintains a level position when a loaded and/or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it has an abnormal nose-up or nose-down condition; check for improper tongue load, overload, worn suspension or other possible causes of either condition.

Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
Keep the cargo load as low as possible in the trailer to keep the trailer center of gravity low.
Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in the back half. Also make sure the load is balanced side to side.

  • Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, vehicle tire pressure, trailer light operation, and trailer wheel lug nuts every time you attach a trailer to the vehicle.
  • Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to all federal, state or local regulations. If not, install any mirrors required for towing before driving the vehicle.
  • Determine the overall height of the vehicle and trailer so the required clearance is known.

  • Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.
    When backing up, hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Move you hand in the direction in which you want the trailer to go. Make small corrections and back up slowly. If possible, have someone guide you when you are backing up.
    Always block the wheels on both vehicle and trailer when parking. Parking on a slope is not recommended; however, if you must do so: 6.

  • Turn off the engine.
    To drive away:

  • Start the vehicle.

  • Apply and hold the brake pedal.

  • Shift the transmission into gear.

  • Release the parking brake.

  • Drive slowly until the vehicle and trailer are clear from the blocks.

  • Apply and hold the brake pedal.

  • Have someone retrieve and store the blocks.

While going downhill, the weight of the trailer pushing on the tow vehicle may decrease overall stability. Therefore, to maintain adequate control, reduce your speed and shift to a lower gear. Avoid long or repeated use of the brakes when descending a hill, as this reduces their effectiveness and could cause overheating. Shifting to a lower gear instead provides "engine braking" and reduces the need to brake as frequently.
- If the engine coolant temperature rises to a high temperature, refer to "If your vehicle overheats" in the "In case of emergency" section of this manual.

Trailer towing tips

In order to gain skill and an understanding the vehicle's behavior, you should practice turning, stopping and backing up in an area which is free from traffic. Steering stability and braking performance will be somewhat different than under normal driving conditions.

  • Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
  • Lock the trailer hitch coupler with a pin or lock to prevent the coupler from inadver-3. tently becoming unlatched.
  • Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
  • Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.

of !CAUTION If you move the shift selector to the (Park) position before blocking the wheel and applying the parking brake, transmission damage could occur.

  1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
  2. Have someone place blocks on the downhill side of the vehicle and trailer wheels.
    After the wheel blocks are in place, slowly release the brake pedal until the blocks absorb the vehicle load.
  3. Apply the parking brake.
  4. Shift the transmission into P (Park).

10-26 Technical and consumer information

  • Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal circumstances.
  • Avoid towing a trailer for your vehicle's first 500 miles (805 km).
  • For the first 500 miles (805 km) that you do tow, do not drive over 50 mph 2 (80 km/h).
  • Have your vehicle serviced more often than at intervals specified in the recommended maintenance schedule in the "Maintenance and schedules" section of this manual.
  • When making a turn, your trailer wheels will be closer to the inside of the turn your vehicle wheels. To compensate for this, make a larger than normal turning radius during the turn.
  • Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect vehicle/trailer handling, possibly causing vehicle sway. When being passed by larger vehicles, be prepared for possible changes in crosswinds that could affect vehicle handling.

Do the following if the trailer begins to sway:

  1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal to allow the vehicle to coast and steer as

straight ahead as the road conditions allow. This combination will help stabilize the vehicle

- Do not correct trailer sway by steering or applying the brakes.

  1. When the trailer sway stops, gently apply the brakes and pull to the side of the road in a safe area.
  2. Try to rearrange the trailer load so it is balanced as described in this section.
  3. Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing while towing a trailer requires considerably more distance than normal than passing. Remember, the length of the trailer must also pass the other vehicle before you can safely change lanes.
  4. Downshift the transmission to a lower gear for engine braking when driving down steep or long hills. This will help slow the vehicle without applying the brakes.

Avoid holding the brake pedal down to long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.

- Increase your following distance to allow for greater stopping distances while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops and brake gradually.

INFINITI recommends that the cruise control not be used while towing a trailer

Some states or provinces have specific regulations and speed limits for vehicles that are towing trailers. Obey the local speed limits.

  • Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness connections, and trailer wheel lug nuts after 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at every break.
  • When launching a boat, don't allow the water level to go over the exhaust tail pipe or rear bumper.
    • Make sure you disconnect the trailer lights before backing the trailer into the water or the trailer lights may burn out.

When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil should be replaced and transmission

oil/fluid should be changed more frequently. For additional information, refer to the "Do-it-yourself" section of this manual.

FLAT TOWING FOR FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE (if so equipped)

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground is sometimes called flat towing. This method is sometimes used when towing a vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a motor home.

CAUTION

  • Failure to follow these guidelines can suit in severe transmission damage.
  • Whenever flat towing your vehicle, always tow forward, never backward.
  • Never tow your front wheel drive vehicle with the front tires on the ground. Doing so may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
  • DO NOT tow your front wheel drive continuously variable transmission vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (flat towing). Doing so WILL DAMAGE internal transmission parts due to lack of transmission lubrication.

- For emergency towing procedures refer to "Towing recommended by INFINITI" in the "In case of emergency" section of the manual.

FLAT TOWING FOR ALL-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE (if so equipped)

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground is sometimes called flat towing. This method is sometimes used when towing a vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a motor home.

CAUTION

  • Failure to follow these guidelines can result in severe transmission damage.
    Never flat tow your All-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle.
    DO NOT tow your All-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle with any wheels on the ground. Doing so may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
    For emergency towing procedures refer to "Towing recommended by INFINITI" in the "In case of emergency" section of this manual.

Continuously Variable Transmission

To tow a vehicle equipped with a continuously variable transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST be placed under the towed vehicle's drive wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacturer's recommendations when using their product.

these grades.

Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B and C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, than the minimum required by law.

are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

Temperature A, B and C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat, and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, orexcessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure.

GAS STATION INFORMATION

FUEL RECOMMENDATION:

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions:

  • Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon as possible.
  • Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.

Use unleaded premium gasoline for maximum vehicle performance.

CAUTION

Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control system, and may also affect the warranty coverage.

Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way catalyst.

- Do not use a fuel containing more than 15% ethanol in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on a fuel containing more than 15% ethanol. Using a fuel containing more than 15% ethanol in a vehicle not specifically designed for a fuel containing more than 15% ethanol can adversely affect the emission control devices and systems of the vehicle. Damage caused by such fuel is not covered by the INFINITI New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

- Do not use fuel that contains the octane booster methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel containing MMT may adversely affect vehicle performance and vehicle emissions. Not all fuel dispensers are labeled to indicate MMT content, so you may have to consult your gasoline retailer for more details. Note that Federal and California laws prohibittheuseofMMT in reformulated gasoline.

U.S. government regulations require ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified by a small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region.

For additional information, refer to "Recommended fluids/lubricants and capacities" in the "Technical and consumer information" section of this manual.

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION:

- Genuine "Nissan Motor Oil Ester 5W-30 SN" is recommended.

For additional information, refer to "Engine oil and oil filter recommendations" in the "Technical and consumer information" section of this manual.

COLD TIRE PRESSURE:

Refer to the Tire and Loading Information label.

The label is typically located on the driver center pillar or on the driver's door. For a tional information, refer to "Wheels and tir in the "Do-it-yourself" section of this manu

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of vehicle use, follow the break-in procedure recommendations for the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle. For additional information, refer to "Break-in schedule" in the "Starting and driving" section of this manual. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in vehicle damage or shortened engine life.
