WARNING

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when theseatback is reclined. This can be danger-ous. The shoulder belt will not be againstyour body. In an accident, you could bethrown into it and receive neck or otherserious injuries. You could also slideunder the lap belt and receive seriousinternal injuries.

. For the most effective protection whenthe vehicle is in motion, the seat shouldbe upright. Always sit well back and

upright in the seat with both feet on thefloor and adjust the seat properly. See“Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-12).

. After adjustment, gently rock in the seatto make sure it is securely locked.

. Do not leave children unattended insidethe vehicle. They could unknowinglyactivate switches or controls. Unat-tended children could become involvedin serious accidents.

. To help avoid risk of injury or deaththrough unintended operation of the

vehicle and/or its systems, do not leavechildren, people who require the assis-tance of others or pets unattended inyour vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-ture inside a closed vehicle on a warmday can quickly become high enough tocause a significant risk of injury or deathto people and pets.

. The seatback should not be reclinedfurther than necessary for comfort. Seatbelts are most effective when the pas-senger sits well back and straight up inthe seat. If the seat back is reclined, therisk of sliding under the lap belt andbeing injured is increased.

The Active Head Restraint moves forwardutilizing the force that the seatback re-ceives from the occupant in a rear-endcollision. The movement of the headrestraint helps support the occupant’shead by reducing its backward movementand helping absorb some of the forces thatmay lead to whiplash-type injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective forcollisions at low to medium speeds inwhich it is said that whiplash injury occursmost.

Active Head Restraints operate only incertain rear-end collisions. After the colli-sion, the head restraints return to theiroriginal positions.

Adjust the Active Head Restraints properlyas described earlier in this section.

CHILD SAFETY

Condition:

(39,1)

[ Edit: 2015/ 6/ 12 Model: J50-D ]

There are three basic types of childrestraint systems:

. Rear-facing child restraint

. Front-facing child restraint

. Booster seatThe proper restraint depends on the child’ssize. Generally, infants up to about 1 yearand less than 20 lb (9 kg) should be placedin rear-facing child restraints. Front-facingchild restraints are available for childrenwho outgrow rear-facing child restraintsand are at least 1 year old. Booster seatsare used to help position a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longeruse a front-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protection.The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit themproperly. The shoulder belt may come tooclose to the face or neck. The lap belt maynot fit over their small hip bones. In anaccident, an improperly fitting seat beltcould cause serious or fatal injury. Alwaysuse appropriate child restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces orterritories require the use of approvedchild restraints for infants and smallchildren. (See “Child restraints” (P.1-21).)

Also, there are other types of childrestraints available for larger children foradditional protection.

INFINITI recommends that all pre-teensand children be restrained in the rear seat.According to accident statistics, childrenare safer when properly restrained in therear seat than in the front seat.

This is especially important because yourvehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-tem (air bag system) for the front passen-ger. (See “Supplemental restraint system”(P.1-42).)

INFANTSGUID-BC2707F1-5B93-41FC-B2CB-253DE02255F7

Infants up to at least 1 year old should beplaced in a rear-facing child restraint.INFINITI recommends that infants beplaced in child restraints that comply withFederal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards orCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.You should choose a child restraint whichfits your vehicle and always follow themanufacturer’s instructions for installationand use.

SMALL CHILDRENGUID-24BE0B66-730C-4BA6-A383-DF5CB44D581B

Children that are over 1 year old and weighat least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in arear-facing child restraint as long aspossible up to the height or weight limitof the child restraint. Children who outgrowthe height or weight limit of the rear-facingchild restraint and are at least 1 year oldshould be secured in a forward-facing childrestraint with a harness. Refer to themanufacturer’s instructions for minimumand maximum weight and height recom-mendations. INFINITI recommends thatsmall children be placed in child restraintsthat comply with Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standards.

For a seat belt to fit properly,the booster seat should raise the child sothat the shoulder belt is properly posi-tioned across the chest and the top, middleportion of the shoulder. The shoulder beltshould not cross the neck or face andshould not fall off the shoulder. The lap beltshould lie snugly across the lower hips orupper thighs, not the abdomen. A boosterseat can only be used in seating positionsthat have a three-point type seat belt. Thebooster seat should fit the vehicle seat andhave a label certifying that it complies withFederal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards orCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

A booster seat should be used until thechild can pass the seat belt fit test below:

. Are the child’s back and hips againstthe vehicle seatback?

. Is the child able to sit without slouch-ing?

. Do the child’s knees bend easily overthe front edge of the seat with feet flaton the floor?

. Can the child safely wear the seat belt(lap belt low and snug across the hips

and shoulder belt across mid-chest andshoulder)?

. Is the child able to use the properlyadjusted head restraint/headrest?

. Will the child be able to stay in positionfor the entire ride?

— Even with the INFINITI Advanced AirBag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the frontseat. An inflating air bag couldseriously injure or kill a child. Arear-facing child restraint must onlybe used in the rear seat.

— Be sure to purchase a child restraintthat will fit the child and vehicle.Some child restraints may not fitproperly in your vehicle.

— Child restraint anchor points aredesigned to withstand loads fromchild restraints that are properlyfitted.

— Never use the anchor points foradult seat belts or harnesses.

— A child restraint with a top tetherstrap should not be used in the frontpassenger seat.

— Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-sible after fitting the child restraint.

— Infants and children should alwaysbe placed in an appropriate childrestraint while in the vehicle.

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

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle canbecome very hot. Check the seating surfaceand buckles before placing a child in thechild restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universalchild restraint anchor system, referred toas the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren) system. Some child restraintsinclude rigid or webbing-mounted attach-ments that can be connected to theseanchors.

For details, see “Lower Anchors andTethers for CHildren (LATCH) system” (P.1-23).

If you do not have a LATCH compatible childrestraint, the vehicle seat belts can beused.

Several manufacturers offer child re-

straints for infants and small children ofvarious sizes. When selecting any childrestraint, keep the following points inmind:

. Choose only a restraint with a labelcertifying that it complies with FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 orCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dard 213.

. Check the child restraint in your vehicleto be sure it is compatible with thevehicle’s seat and seat belt system.

. If the child restraint is compatible withyour vehicle, place your child in thechild restraint and check the variousadjustments to be sure the childrestraint is compatible with your child.Choose a child restraint that is de-signed for your child’s height andweight. Always follow all recommendedprocedures.

. If the combined weight of the child andchild restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5kg), you may use either the LATCHanchors or the seat belt to install thechild restraint (not both at the sametime).

. If the combined weight of the child andchild restraint is greater than 65 lbs

Condition:

[ Edit: 2015/ 6/ 12 Model: J50-D ]

(29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt(not the lower anchors) to install thechild restraint.

. Be sure to follow the child restraintmanufacturer’s instructions for installa-tion.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces orterritories require that infants and smallchildren be restrained in an approved childrestraint at all times while the vehicle isbeing operated. Canadian law requires thetop tether strap on front-facing childrestraints to be secured to the designatedanchor point on the vehicle.

GUID-B58D3611-FF95-4895-8D3A-C3E079E7176F

This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITIAdvanced Air Bag System for the driver andfront passenger seats. This system isdesigned to meet certification require-ments under U.S. regulations. It is alsopermitted in Canada. All of the informa-tion, cautions and warnings in this manualapply and must be followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact airbag is located in the center of the steeringwheel. The passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is mounted in the instru-ment panel above the glove box. The frontair bags are designed to inflate in higherseverity frontal collisions, although theymay inflate if the forces in another type ofcollision are similar to those of a higherseverity frontal impact. They may notinflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicledamage (or lack of it) is not always anindication of proper front air bag operation.

dual stage air bag inflators. The systemmonitors information from the crash zonesensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), thediagnosis sensor unit, seat belt bucklesensors and the occupant classificationsensor (pattern sensor). Inflator operationis based on the severity of a collision andseat belt usage for the driver. For the frontpassenger, the occupant classificationsensor is also monitored. Based on in-formation from the sensors, only one frontair bag may inflate in a crash, dependingon the crash severity and whether the frontoccupants are belted or unbelted. Addi-tionally, the front passenger air bag may beautomatically turned OFF under some con-ditions, depending on the informationprovided by the occupant classificationsensor. If the front passenger air bag isOFF, the passenger air bag status light willbe illuminated (if the seat is unoccupied,the light will not be illuminated, but the airbag will be off). (See “Front passenger airbag and status light” (P.1-49) for furtherdetails.) One front air bag inflating doesnot indicate improper performance of thesystem.

If you have any questions about your airbag system, contact INFINITI or an INFINITI

retailer. If you are considering modificationof your vehicle due to a disability, you mayalso contact INFINITI. Contact informationis contained in the front of this Owner’sManual.

When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loudnoise may be heard, followed by release ofsmoke. This smoke is not harmful and doesnot indicate a fire. Care should be takennot to inhale it, as it may cause irritationand choking. Those with a history of abreathing condition should get fresh airpromptly.

Front air bags, along with the use of seatbelts, help to cushion the impact force onthe head and chest of the front occupants.They can help save lives and reduceserious injuries. However, an inflating frontair bag may cause facial abrasions or otherinjuries. Front air bags do not providerestraint to the lower body.

Even with INFINITI advanced air bags, seatbelts should be correctly worn and thedriver and passenger seated upright as faras practical away from the steering wheelor instrument panel. The front air bagsinflate quickly in order to help protect thefront occupants. Because of this, the forceof the front air bag inflating can increase

the risk of injury if the occupant is too closeto, or is against, the air bag module duringinflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after acollision.

The front air bags operate only when theignition switch is in the ON position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ONposition, the supplemental air bag warn-ing light illuminates. The supplemental airbag warning light will turn off after about 7seconds if the system is operational.

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed toautomatically turn OFF under some condi-tions. Read this section carefully to learnhow it operates. Proper use of the seat, seatbelt and child restraints is necessary formost effective protection. Failure to followall instructions in this manual concerningthe use of seats, seat belts and childrestraints can increase the risk or severity

of injury in an accident.

Status light:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

The front passenger air bag status lightis located under the climate controls.

After the ignition switch is placed in the ONposition, the front passenger air bag statuslight illuminates for about 7 seconds andthen turns off or illuminates depending onthe front passenger seat occupied status.The light operates as follows:

. Unoccupied passenger seat: Thelight is OFF and the front passenger airbag is OFF and will not inflate in acrash.

. Passenger seat occupied by a smalladult, child or child restraint as out-lined in this section: The lightilluminates to indicate that the frontpassenger air bag is OFF and will notinflate in a crash.

. Occupied passenger seat and the pas-senger meets the conditions outlined inthis section: The light is OFF toindicate that the front passenger airbag is operational.

Front passenger air bag:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

The front passenger air bag is designed toautomatically turn OFF when the vehicle isoperated under some conditions as de-scribed below as permitted by U.S. regula-tions. If the front passenger air bag is OFF,it will not inflate in a crash. The driver airbag and other air bags in your vehicle arenot part of this system.

The purpose of the regulation is to helpreduce the risk of injury or death from aninflating air bag to certain front passengerseat occupants, such as children, byrequiring the air bag to be automaticallyturned OFF.

The occupant classification sensor (patternsensor) is in the front passenger seatcushion and is designed to detect anoccupant and objects on the seat. Forexample, if a child is in the front passengerseat, the Advanced Air Bag System isdesigned to turn the passenger air bagOFF in accordance with the regulations.Also, if a child restraint of the typespecified in the regulations is on the seat,the occupant classification sensor candetect it and cause the air bag to turn OFF.

as outlined in this manual should notcause the passenger air bag to be auto-matically turned OFF. For small adults itmay be turned OFF, however, if theoccupant does not sit in the seat properly(for example, by not sitting upright, bysitting on an edge of the seat, or byotherwise being out of position), this couldcause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF.Always be sure to be seated and wearingthe seat belt properly for the most effectiveprotection by the seat belt and supple-mental air bag.

INFINITI recommends that pre-teens andchildren be properly restrained in a rearseat. INFINITI also recommends that appro-priate child restraints and booster seats beproperly installed in a rear seat. If this isnot possible, the occupant classificationsensor is designed to operate as describedabove to turn the front passenger air bagOFF for specified child restraints. Failing toproperly secure child restrains and to usethe ALR mode (child restraint mode) mayallow the restraint to tip or move in anaccident or sudden stop. This can alsoresult in the passenger air bag inflating in acrash instead of being OFF. (See “Childrestraints” (P.1-21) for proper use and

installation.)

If the front passenger seat is not occupied,the passenger air bag is designed not toinflate in a crash. However, heavy objectsplaced on the seat could result in air baginflation, because of the object beingdetected by the occupant classificationsensor. Other conditions could also resultin air bag inflation, such as if a child isstanding on the seat, or if two children areon the seat, contrary to the instructions inthis manual. Always be sure that you andall vehicle occupants are seated andrestrained properly.

Using the passenger air bag status light,you can monitor when the front passengerair bag is automatically turned OFF with theseat occupied. The light will not illuminatewhen the front passenger seat is unoccu-pied.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but thepassenger air bag status light is illumi-nated (indicating that the air bag is OFF), itcould be that the person is a small adult, oris not sitting on the seat properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the frontseat, the passenger air bag status lightmay or may not be illuminated, dependingon the size of the child and the type of child

restraint being used. If the passenger airbag status light is not illuminated (indicat-ing that the air bag might inflate in acrash), it could be that the child restraint orseat belt is not being used properly. Makesure that the child restraint is installedproperly, the seat belt is used properly andthe occupant is positioned properly. If thepassenger air bag status light is still notilluminated, reposition the occupant orchild restraint in a rear seat.

If the passenger air bag status light will notilluminate even though you believe that thechild restraint, the seat belts and theoccupant are properly positioned, thesystem may be sensing an unoccupiedseat (in which case the air bag is OFF). YourINFINITI retailer can check that the systemis OFF by using a special tool. However,until you have confirmed with your retailerthat your air bag is working properly,reposition the occupant or child restraintin a rear seat.

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System andpassenger air bag status light will take afew seconds to register a change in thepassenger seat status. However, if the seatbecomes unoccupied, the air bag statuslight will remain off.

Your vehicle is equipped with a TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS) thatmonitors the tire pressure of all tiresexcept the spare.

The low tire pressure warning light warnsof low tire pressure or indicates that theTPMS is not functioning properly.

After the ignition switch is pushed ON, thislight illuminates for about 1 second andturns off.

Low tire pressure warning:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

If the vehicle is being driven with low tirepressure, the warning light will illuminate.A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning alsoappears on the vehicle information display.

When the low tire pressure warning lightilluminates, you should stop and adjust thetire pressure to the recommended COLDtire pressure shown on the Tire andLoading Information label. The low tirepressure warning light does not automati-cally turn off when the tire pressure isadjusted. After the tire is inflated to the

recommended pressure, the vehicle mustbe driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off thelow tire pressure warning light. Use a tirepressure gauge to check the tire pressure.

The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap-pears each time the ignition switch isplaced in the ON position as long as thelow tire pressure warning light remainsilluminated.

For additional information, see “Tire Pres-sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5)and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS) ” (P.6-3).

The vehicle security system provides visualand audio alarm signals if someone opensthe doors, hood, or lift gate when thesystem is armed. It is not, however, amotion detection type system that acti-vates when a vehicle is moved or when avibration occurs.

The system helps deter vehicle theft butcannot prevent it, nor can it prevent thetheft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-nents in all situations. Always secure yourvehicle even if parking for a brief period.Never leave your Intelligent Key(s) in thevehicle, and always lock it when unat-tended. Be aware of your surroundings,and park in secure, well-lit areas wheneverpossible.

Many devices offering additional protec-tion, such as component locks, identifica-tion markers, and tracking systems, areavailable at auto supply stores and speci-alty shops. Your INFINITI retailer may alsooffer such equipment. Check with yourinsurance company to see if you may beeligible for discounts for various theftprotection features.

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

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:

. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)devices such as garage doors, gates,home and office lighting, entry doorlocks and security systems.

. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. Noseparate batteries are required. If thevehicle’s battery is discharged or isdisconnected, HomeLink® will retain allprogramming.

When the HomeLink® Universal Transcei-ver is programmed, retain the originaltransmitter for future programming proce-dures (Example: new vehicle purchases).Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmedHomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttonsshould be erased for security purposes.For additional information, refer to “Pro-gramming HomeLink®” (P.2-59).

WARNING

. Do not use the HomeLink® UniversalTransceiver with any garage door openerthat lacks safety stop and reverse

features as required by federal safetystandards. (These standards becameeffective for opener models manufac-tured after April 1, 1982). A garage dooropener which cannot detect an object inthe path of a closing garage door andthen automatically stop and reverse,does not meet current federal safetystandards. Using a garage door openerwithout these features increases the riskof serious injury or death.

. During the programming procedure yourgarage door or security gate will openand close (if the transmitter is withinrange). Make sure that people or objectsare clear of the garage door, gate, etc.that you are programming.

. Your vehicle’s engine should be turnedoff while programming the HomeLink®

Universal Transceiver. Do not breatheexhaust gases; they contain colorlessand odorless carbon monoxide. Carbonmonoxide is dangerous. It can causeunconsciousness or death.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®GUID-1A602B13-2096-490E-83B6-2BDD3A515041

If you have any questions or are havingdifficulty programming your HomeLink®

buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web siteat: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.

NOTE:

It is also recommended that a new batterybe placed in the hand-held transmitter ofthe device being programmed toHomeLink® for quicker programming andaccurate transmission of the radio-fre-quency.

1. Position the end of your hand-heldtransmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) awayfrom the HomeLink® surface, keepingthe HomeLink® indicator light *1 inview.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink® FORCANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATEOPENERS

GUID-5972CEF8-27E4-49AA-A5E0-06E4B93FE8B9

Canadian radio-frequency laws requiretransmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)after several seconds of transmission –which may not be long enough forHomeLink® to pick up the signal duringprogramming. Similar to this Canadianlaw, some U.S. gate operators are de-signed to “time-out” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are havingdifficulties programming a gate operator orgarage door opener by using the “Pro-gramming HomeLink®” procedures, re-place “Programming HomeLink®” Step 2with the following:

NOTE:

When programming a garage door opener,etc., unplug the device during the “cy-cling” process to prevent possible damageto the garage door opener components.

Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneouslypress and hold the desired HomeLink®

button and the hand-held transmitter

button. During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stoptransmitting. Continue to press and holdthe desired HomeLink® button while youpress and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every two seconds untilthe frequency signal has been learned. TheHomeLink® indicator light will flash slowlyand then rapidly after several secondsupon successful programming. DO NOTrelease until the HomeLink® indicator lightflashes slowly and then rapidly. When theindicator light flashes rapidly, both but-tons may be released. The rapid flashingindicates successful programming.

Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”step 3 to complete.

Remember to plug the device back in whenprogramming is completed.

However, the steering wheel and outsidemirrors will not move if the seat is adjustedover the maximum thresholds. The systemconsiders that the steering wheel andoutside mirror adjustments are not neces-sary because the seat may not be adjustedfor the driving position. Note that thefunction is set to disabled as the factorydefault setting.

The seat synchronization function operatesunder the following conditions:

. The ignition switch is in the ON posi-tion.

. The shift lever is in the P (Park) position.If the outside mirrors or the steering wheelreaches its maximum adjustment, thefunction is automatically disabled. Restartthe function by selecting a previouslystored seat memory position using thememory switches (1 or 2). An IntelligentKey that was previously linked to thestored seat memory can also be used torestart the function.

The climate control system in your INFINITIis charged with a refrigerant designed withthe environment in mind. This refrigerantwill not harm the earth’s ozone layer.However, special charging equipment andlubricant are required when servicing yourINFINITI air conditioner. Using improperrefrigerants or lubricants will cause severedamage to your climate control system.(See “Capacities and recommended fluids/lubricants” (P.9-2) for climate control sys-tem refrigerant and lubricant recommenda-tions.)

Your INFINITI retailer will be able to serviceyour environmentally friendly climate con-trol system.

WARNING

The system contains refrigerant under highpressure. To avoid personal injury, any airconditioner service should be done only byan experienced technician with the properequipment.

Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ONposition and push the radio band selectbutton to turn on the radio. If you listen tothe radio with the engine not running, theignition switch should be pushed to theACC position.

Radio reception is affected by stationsignal strength, distance from radio trans-mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains andother external influences. Intermittentchanges in reception quality normally arecaused by these external influences.

Using a cellular phone in or near thevehicle may influence radio receptionquality.

Radio reception:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

Your INFINITI radio system is equipped withstate-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-hance radio reception. These circuits aredesigned to extend reception range, and toenhance the quality of that reception.

However there are some general character-istics of both FM and AM radio signals thatcan affect radio reception quality in amoving vehicle, even when the finest

equipment is used. These characteristicsare completely normal in a given receptionarea, and do not indicate any malfunctionin your INFINITI radio system.

Reception conditions will constantlychange because of vehicle movement.Buildings, terrain, signal distance andinterference from other vehicles can workagainst ideal reception. Described beloware some of the factors that can affect yourradio reception.

Some cellular phones or other devices maycause interference or a buzzing noise tocome from the audio system speakers.Storing the device in a different locationmay reduce or eliminate the noise.

FM radio reception:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

Range: FM range is normally limited to 25to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural(single channel) FM having slightly morerange than stereo FM. External influencesmay sometimes interfere with FM stationreception even if the FM station is within25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FMsignal is directly related to the distancebetween the transmitter and receiver. FMsignals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-ing many of the same characteristics aslight. For example they will reflect offobjects.

Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away

from a station transmitter, the signals willtend to fade and/or drift.

Static and flutter: During signal interfer-ence from buildings, large hills or due toantenna position, usually in conjunctionwith increased distance from the stationtransmitter, static or flutter can be heard.This can be reduced by lowering the treblesetting to reduce the treble response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-tive characteristics of FM signals, directand reflected signals reach the receiver atthe same time. The signals may canceleach other, resulting in momentary flutteror loss of sound.

AM radio reception:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

AM signals, because of their low frequency,can bend around objects and skip alongthe ground. In addition, the signals can bebounced off the ionosphere and bent backto earth. Because of these characteristics.AM signals are also subject to interferenceas they travel from transmitter to receiver.

Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passingthrough freeway underpasses or in areaswith many tall buildings. It can also occurfor several seconds during ionosphericturbulence even in areas where no obsta-

cles exist.

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electricalpower lines, electric signs and even trafficlights.

Satellite radio reception:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

When the satellite radio is used for the firsttime or the battery has been replaced, thesatellite radio may not work properly. Thisis not a malfunction. Wait more than 10minutes with the satellite radio ON and thevehicle outside of any metal or largebuilding for the satellite radio to receiveall of the necessary data.

The satellite radio mode requires an activeSiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. Thesatellite radio is not available in Alaska,Hawaii and Guam.

The satellite radio performance may beaffected if cargo carried on the roof blocksthe satellite radio signal.

If possible, do not put cargo near thesatellite antenna.

A build up of ice on the satellite radioantenna can affect satellite radio perfor-mance. Remove the ice to restore satelliteradio reception.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/WMA/AAC)

GUID-E541D8D1-9D43-4BFE-AAC0-F80AD3A10635

Explanation of terms:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

. MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving PicturesExperts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 isthe most well known compressed digi-tal audio file format. This format allowsfor near “CD quality” sound, but at afraction of the size of normal audiofiles. MP3 conversion of an audio trackcan reduce the file size by approxi-mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtuallyno perceptible loss in quality. Thecompression reduces certain parts ofsound that seem inaudible to mostpeople.

. WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) isa compressed audio format created byMicrosoft as an alternative to MP3. TheWMA codec offers greater file compres-sion than the MP3 codec, enablingstorage of more digital audio tracks inthe same amount of space whencompared to MP3s at the same levelof quality.

Condition:

(235,1)

[ Edit: 2015/ 6/ 12 Model: J50-D ]

. AAC/M4A — Advanced Audio Coding(AAC) is a lossy audio compressionformat. Audio files that have beenencoded with AAC are generally smallerin size and deliver a higher quality ofsound than MP3.

. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the numberof bits per second used by a digitalmusic file. The size and quality of acompressed digital audio file is deter-mined by the bit rate used whenencoding the file.

. Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-quency is the rate at which the samplesof a signal are converted from analog todigital (A/D conversion) per second.

. Multisession — Multisession is one ofthe methods for writing data to media.Writing data once to the media is calleda single session, and writing more thanonce is called a multisession.

. ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is thepart of the encoded MP3 or WMA filethat contains information about thedigital music file such as song title,artist, album title, encoding bit rate,track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-formation is displayed on the Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.

Troubleshooting guide:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

Symptom Cause and Countermeasure

Cannot play

Check if the disc or USB device was inserted correctly.

Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using theplayer.

If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.

If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will beplayed.

Files with extensions other than “.MP3 (.mp3)”, “.WMA (.wma)”, “.AAC (.aac)”, “.M4A (.m4a)”, or “.AA3 (.aa3)” cannot be played. Inaddition, the character codes and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with thespecifications.

Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting ofcompressed audio writing applications or other text editing applications.

Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.

Check if the disc or USB device is protected by copyright.

Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

It takes a relatively long time beforethe music starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the disc or USB device, some time may be required before the music starts playing.

Music cuts off or skips The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might notmatch the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.

Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.

Move immediately to the next songwhen playing.

If an unsupported compressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited by copyrightprotection, the player will skip to the next song.

The songs do not play back in thedesired order.

The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software, so the files might not play in the desired order.Random/Shuffle may be active on the audio system or on a USB device.

The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.

Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.

Symptom Solution

The system fails to interpret the com-mand correctly.

1. Ensure that the command is valid. (See “INFINITI Voice Recognition system (models with navigation system)” (P.4-124).)

2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.

3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.

4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: If it is too noisy to usethe phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.

5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.

The system consistently selects thewrong voicetag.

1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “Quick Dial” (P.4-102).)2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

Hands-Free Phone System. If you are anowner of a Bluetooth® enabled cellularphone, you can set up the wirelessconnection between your cellular phoneand the in-vehicle phone module. WithBluetooth® wireless technology, you canmake or receive a telephone call with yourcellular phone in your pocket.

Once your cellular phone is paired to thein-vehicle phone module, no phone con-necting procedure is required. Your phoneis automatically connected with the in-vehicle phone module when the ignitionswitch is pushed to the ON position withthe registered cellular phone turned on andcarried in the vehicle.

You can register up to 5 different Blue-tooth® cellular phones in the in-vehiclephone module. However, you can talk ononly one cellular phone at a time.

When a call is active, the audio system andmicrophone (located in the ceiling in frontof the rearview mirror) are used for thehandsfree communications.

If the audio system is being used at thetime, the audio mode will mute and willstay muted until the active call is ended.

The INFINITI Voice Recognition systemsupports the phone commands, so dialinga phone number using your voice ispossible.

Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-FreePhone System, refer to the following notes.

. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth®

functions share the same frequencyband (2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth®

and the wireless LAN functions at thesame time may slow down or discon-nect the communication and causeundesired noise. It is recommendedthat you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth® func-tions.

. Set up the wireless connection betweena cellular phone and the in-vehiclephone module before using the Blue-tooth® Hands-Free Phone System.

. Some Bluetooth® enabled cellularphones may not be recognized by thein-vehicle phone module.

. You will not be able to use a hands-freephone under the following conditions:— Your vehicle is outside of the tele-

phone service area.— Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive radio waves; suchas in a tunnel, in an undergroundparking garage, behind a tall build-ing or in a mountainous area.

— Your cellular phone is locked inorder not to be dialed.

. When the radio wave condition is notideal or ambient sound is too loud, itmay be difficult to hear the otherperson’s voice during a call.

How to speak numbers:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-tain way to speak numbers when givingvoice commands. Refer to the followingexamples.

General rule

Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used.(For example, if you would like to say 500,“five zero zero” can be used, but “fivehundred” cannot.)

Examples

. 1-800-662-6200— “One eight zero zero six six two six

two zero zero”Improving Recognition of Phone numbers

You can improve the recognition of phonenumbers by saying the phone number inthree groups of numbers. For example,when you try to call 800-662-6200, say“eight zero zero” first, and the system willthen ask you for the next three digits. Then,say “six six two”. After recognition, thesystem will then ask for the last four digits.Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this methodof phone digit entry can improve recogni-tion performance.

When speaking a house number, speak thenumber “0” as “zero”. If the letter “o (Oh)”

is included in the house number, it will notbe recognized as the number “0 (zero)”even if you speak “oh” instead of “zero”.Please speak “zero” for the number “0(zero)”, “oh” for the letter “o (oh)”

Send digits using dial tone:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

. Press the TALK switch during aphone call.

. The menu will be launched and you willbe provided with the following gui-dance: "Please say the digits to dial".

. After guidance, say the digits of thenumber you want to send. After this,the digits that have been recognizedwill be read out.

. If you press the ENTER button on thesteering wheel or on the INFINITI con-troller, the selected digits will be sent.

. Do not leave children or adults whowould normally require the support ofothers alone in your vehicle. Pets shouldnot be left alone either. They couldaccidentally injure themselves or othersthrough inadvertent operation of thevehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,temperatures in a closed vehicle couldquickly become high enough to causesevere or possibly fatal injuries topeople or animals.

. Properly secure all cargo to help preventit from sliding or shifting. Do not placecargo higher than the seatbacks. In asudden stop or collision, unsecuredcargo could cause personal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)GUID-E2119C8D-3B55-4B9A-99C5-3E33AE65D946

WARNING

. Do not breathe exhaust gases; theycontain colorless and odorless carbonmonoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-ous. It can cause unconsciousness or

death.

. If you suspect that exhaust fumes areentering the vehicle, drive with allwindows fully open, and have the vehicleinspected immediately.

. Do not run the engine in closed spacessuch as a garage.

. Do not park the vehicle with the enginerunning for any extended length of time.

. Keep the lift gate closed while driving,otherwise exhaust gases could be drawninto the passenger compartment. If youmust drive with the lift gate open, followthese precautions:

— Open all the windows.

— Set the air recirculation to offand the fan control to high tocirculate the air.

. If electrical wiring or other cable con-nections must pass to a trailer throughthe seal on the lift gate or the body,follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-tion to prevent carbon monoxide entryinto the vehicle.

. The exhaust system and body should beinspected by a qualified mechanic when-ever:

— The vehicle is raised for service.

— You suspect that exhaust fumes areentering into the passenger compart-ment.

— You notice a change in the sound ofthe exhaust system.

— You have had an accident involvingdamage to the exhaust system,underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYSTGUID-5821B847-8B37-41B8-8974-EB3F29B934C5

The three-way catalyst is an emissioncontrol device installed in the exhaustsystem. Exhaust gases in the three-waycatalyst are burned at high temperatures tohelp reduce pollutants.

WARNING

. The exhaust gas and the exhaust systemare very hot. Keep people, animals orflammable materials away from theexhaust system components.

CAUTION

. Do not use leaded gasoline. Depositsfrom leaded gasoline seriously reducethe three-way catalyst’s ability to helpreduce exhaust pollutants.

. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctionsin the ignition, fuel injection, or elec-trical systems can cause overrich fuelflow into the three-way catalyst, causingit to overheat. Do not keep driving if theengine misfires, or if noticeable loss ofperformance or other unusual operatingconditions are detected. Have the vehicleinspected promptly by an INFINITI retai-ler.

. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuellevel. Running out of fuel could cause theengine to misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.

. Do not race the engine while warming itup.

. Do not push or tow your vehicle to startthe engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-TEM (TPMS)

GUID-68E51C46-B72B-4976-850C-3C364D669985

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressure recom-mended by the vehicle manufacturer on thevehicle placard or tire inflation pressurelabel. (If your vehicle has tires of a differentsize than the size indicated on the vehicleplacard or tire inflation pressure label, youshould determine the proper tire inflationpressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehiclehas been equipped with a Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS) that illuminatesa low tire pressure telltale when one ormore of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tirepressure telltale illuminates, you shouldstop and check your tires as soon aspossible, and inflate them to the properpressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat andcan lead to tire failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,and may affect the vehicle’s handling andstopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tire maintenance,

and it is the driver’s responsibility tomaintain correct tire pressure, even ifunder-inflation has not reached the levelto trigger illumination of the TPMS low tirepressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with aTPMS malfunction indicator to indicatewhen the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-bined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction,the telltale will flash for approximately oneminute and then remain continuouslyilluminated. This sequence will continueupon subsequent vehicle start-ups as longas the malfunction exists. When the mal-function indicator is illuminated, the sys-tem may not be able to detect or signal lowtire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-tions may occur for a variety of reasons,including the installation of replacement oralternate tires or wheels on the vehicle thatprevent the TPMS from functioning prop-erly. Always check the TPMS malfunctiontelltale after replacing one or more tires orwheels on your vehicle to ensure that thereplacement or alternate tires and wheelsallow the TPMS to continue to functionproperly.

Additional informationGUID-EB545C2D-FE9B-4A5F-B78A-AF95258155FA

. Since the spare tire is not equippedwith the TPMS, the TPMS does notmonitor the tire pressure of the sparetire.

. The TPMS will activate only when thevehicle is driven at speeds above 16MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system maynot detect a sudden drop in tirepressure (for example a flat tire whiledriving).

. The low tire pressure warning light doesnot automatically turn off when the tirepressure is adjusted. After the tire isinflated to the recommended pressure,the vehicle must be driven at speedsabove 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate theTPMS and turn off the low tire pressurewarning light. Use a tire pressure gaugeto check the tire pressure.

. The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warningappears in the vehicle information dis-play when the low tire pressure warn-ing light is illuminated and low tirepressure is detected. The CHECK TIREPRESSURE warning turns off when thelow tire pressure warning light turnsoff.The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning

appears each time the ignition switchis placed in the ON position as long asthe low tire pressure warning lightremains illuminated.The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warningdoes not appear if the low tire pressurewarning light illuminates to indicate aTPMS malfunction.

. Tire pressure rises and falls dependingon the heat caused by the vehicle’soperation and the outside temperature.Do not reduce the tire pressure afterdriving because the tire pressure risesafter driving. Low outside temperaturecan lower the temperature of the airinside the tire which can cause a lowertire inflation pressure. This may causethe low tire pressure warning light toilluminate. If the warning light illumi-nates in low ambient temperature,check the tire pressure for all four tires.

For additional information, see “Low tirepressure warning light” (P.2-14) and “TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.6-3).

WARNING

. If the low tire pressure warning lightilluminates while driving, avoid suddensteering maneuvers or abrupt braking,reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road toa safe location and stop the vehicle assoon as possible. Driving with under-inflated tires may permanently damagethe tires and increase the likelihood oftire failure. Serious vehicle damagecould occur and may lead to an accidentand could result in serious personalinjury. Check the tire pressure for allfour tires. Adjust the tire pressure to therecommended COLD tire pressure shownon the Tire and Loading Informationlabel to turn the low tire pressurewarning light OFF. If the light stillilluminates while driving after adjustingthe tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If youhave a flat tire, replace it with a sparetire as soon as possible. (See “Flat tire”(P.6-3) for changing a flat tire.)

. Since the spare tire is not equipped withthe TPMS, when a spare tire is mountedor a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will notfunction and the low tire pressure warn-

Condition:

[ Edit: 2015/ 6/ 12 Model: J50-D ]

ing light will flash for approximately 1minute. The light will remain on after 1minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer assoon as possible for tire replacementand/or system resetting.

. Replacing tires with those not originallyspecified by INFINITI could affect theproper operation of the TPMS.

. Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosoltire sealant into the tires, as this maycause a malfunction of the tire pressuresensors.

CAUTION

. The TPMS may not function properlywhen the wheels are equipped with tirechains or the wheels are buried in snow.

. Do not place metalized film or any metalparts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.This may cause poor reception of thesignals from the tire pressure sensors,and the TPMS will not function properly.

Some devices and transmitters may tem-porarily interfere with the operation of theTPMS and cause the low tire pressure

warning light to illuminate. Some exam-ples are:

. Facilities or electric devices using simi-lar radio frequencies are near thevehicle.

. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-cies is being used in or near thevehicle.

. If a computer (or similar equipment) or aDC/AC converter is being used in ornear the vehicle.

Low tire pressure warning light mayilluminate in the following cases.

. If the vehicle equipped with a wheel andtire without TPMS.

. If the TPMS has been replaced and theID has not been registered.

. If the wheel is not originally specified byINFINITI.

Be attentive at all times,and avoid driving when tired. Never drivewhen under the influence of alcohol ordrugs (including prescription or over-the-counter drugs which may cause drowsi-ness). Always wear your seat belt asoutlined in the “Seat belts” (P.1-12), andalso instruct your passengers to do so.

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury incollisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,an unbelted or improperly belted person issignificantly more likely to be injured orkilled than a person properly wearing aseat belt.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROADDRIVING PRECAUTIONS

GUID-2370219B-8F45-4A50-8A89-7CDFDE7902EF

Utility vehicles have a significantly higherrollover rate than other types of vehicles.

They have higher ground clearance thanpassenger cars to make them capable ofperforming in a variety of on-pavement andoff-road applications. This gives them ahigher center of gravity than ordinary cars.An advantage of higher ground clearance is

a better view of the road, allowing you toanticipate problems. However, they are notdesigned for cornering at the same speedsas conventional passenger cars any morethan low-slung sports cars are designed toperform satisfactorily under off-road con-ditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turnsor abrupt maneuvers, particularly at highspeeds. As with other vehicles of this type,failure to operate this vehicle correctly mayresult in loss of control or vehicle rollover.Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury incollisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,an unbelted or improperly belted person issignificantly more likely to be injured orkilled than a person properly wearing aseat belt.

Be sure to read “All-Wheel Drive (AWD)driving safety precautions (for AWD mod-els) ” (P.5-10).

OFF-ROAD RECOVERYGUID-D40E2DC5-B96C-40EF-A58C-FD262057429B

If the right side or left side wheelsunintentionally leave the road surface,maintain control of the vehicle by followingthe procedure below. Please note that thisprocedure is only a general guide. Thevehicle must be driven as appropriatebased on the conditions of the vehicle,road and traffic.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSSGUID-FAB045C9-866E-493D-B21B-BC98003ABEC1

Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” canoccur if the tire is punctured or is damageddue to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid airpressure loss can also be caused by drivingon under-inflated tires.

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

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss bymaintaining the correct air pressure andvisually inspect the tires for wear anddamage. See “Wheels and tires” (P.8-29).

If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or“blows-out” while driving maintain controlof the vehicle by following the procedurebelow. Please note that this procedure isonly a general guide. The vehicle must bedriven as appropriate based on the condi-tions of the vehicle, road and traffic.

WARNING

The following actions can increase thechance of losing control of the vehicle ifthere is a sudden loss of tire air pressure.Losing control of the vehicle may cause acollision and result in personal injury.

. The vehicle generally moves or pulls inthe direction of the flat tire.

. Do not rapidly apply the brakes.

. Do not rapidly release the acceleratorpedal.

. Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Maintain a firm grip on the steeringwheel with both hands and try to hold astraight course.

3. When appropriate, slowly release theaccelerator pedal to gradually slow thevehicle.

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safelocation off the road and away fromtraffic if possible.

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-ally stop the vehicle.

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS ANDDRIVING

GUID-F9A99588-AB2B-4EA9-BABB-07E4D6E3266B

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of alcohol ordrugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reducescoordination, delays reaction time and im-pairs judgement. Driving after drinkingalcohol increases the likelihood of beinginvolved in an accident injuring yourself andothers. Additionally, if you are injured in anaccident, alcohol can increase the severityof the injury.

INFINITI is committed to safe driving.However, you must choose not to driveunder the influence of alcohol. Every yearthousands of people are injured or killed inalcohol-related accidents. Although thelocal laws vary on what is considered tobe legally intoxicated, the fact is thatalcohol affects all people differently andmost people underestimate the effects ofalcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).

WARNING

. Do not drive beyond the performancecapability of the tires, even with AWDengaged. Accelerating quickly, sharpsteering maneuvers or sudden brakingmay cause loss of control.

. Always use tires of the same type, size,brand, construction (bias, bias-belted orradial), and tread pattern on all fourwheels. Install tire chains on the rearwheels when driving on slippery roadsand drive carefully.

. This vehicle is not designed for offroad(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandyor muddy roads that tires may get stuckin.

. For AWD equipped vehicles, do notattempt to raise two wheels off theground and shift the transmission to

any D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position withthe engine running. Doing so may resultin drivetrain damage or unexpectedvehicle movement which could result inserious vehicle damage or personalinjury.

. Do not attempt to test an AWD equippedvehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer,(such as the dynamometers used bysome states for emissions testing), orsimilar equipment even if the other twowheels are raised off the ground. Makesure you inform test facility personnelthat your vehicle is equipped with AWDbefore it is placed on a dynamometer.Using the wrong test equipment mayresult in drivetrain damage or unex-pected vehicle movement which couldresult in serious vehicle damage orpersonal injury.

The shift lever cannot be moved out of theP (Park) position and into any of the othergear positions if the ignition switch ispushed to the LOCK, OFF or ACC position.

1. Keep the foot brake pedal depressedand push the shift lever button to shiftinto a driving gear.

2. Release the parking brake and footbrake, then gradually start the vehiclein motion.

WARNING

. Do not depress the accelerator pedalwhile shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral)to R (Reverse), D (Drive), DS (Drive Sport)or manual shift mode. Always depressthe brake pedal until shifting is com-pleted. Failure to do so could cause youto lose control and have an accident.

. Cold engine idle speed is high, so usecaution when shifting into a forward orreverse gear before the engine haswarmed up.

. Never shift to either the P (Park) or R(Reverse) position while the vehicle ismoving forward and P (Park) or D (Drive)position while the vehicle is reversing.

This could cause an accident or damagethe transmission.

CAUTION

. Except in an emergency, do not shift tothe N (Neutral) position while driving.Coasting with the transmission in the N(Neutral) position may cause seriousdamage to the transmission.

Control on winding roads:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

A low gear is maintained on continuouscurves that involve repeated accelerationand deceleration, so that smooth accelera-tion is available instantly when the accel-erator pedal is depressed.

NOTE:. Adaptive shift control may not operate

when the transmission oil temperatureis low immediately after the start ofdriving or when it is very hot.

. During some driving situations, hardbraking for example, the adaptive shiftcontrol may automatically operate. Thetransmission may automatically shiftto a lower gear for engine braking. Thisincreases engine speed but not vehiclespeed. Vehicle speed is controlled bythe accelerator pedal when the vehicleis in the Adaptive shift control mode.

. When the adaptive shift control oper-ates, the transmission sometimes

maintains a lower gear for a longerperiod of time than when adaptive shiftcontrol is not operating. Engine speedwill be higher for a specific vehiclespeed while ASC system is operatingthan when ASC is not operating.

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations forthe BSW system. Failure to operate thevehicle in accordance with these systemlimitations could result in serious or death.

. The BSW system cannot detect allvehicles under all conditions.

. The radar sensors may not be able todetect and activate BSW when certainobjects are present such as:

— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.

— Vehicles such as motorcycles, lowheight vehicles, or high groundclearance vehicles.

Condition:

(351,1)

[ Edit: 2015/ 6/ 12 Model: J50-D ]

— Oncoming vehicles.

— A vehicle merging into an adjacentlane at a speed approximately thesame as your vehicle.

— A vehicle approaching rapidly frombehind.

— A vehicle which your vehicle over-takes rapidly.

— A vehicle that passes through thedetection zone quickly.

. The radar sensor’s detection zone isdesigned based on a standard lanewidth. When driving in a wider lane, theradar sensors may not detect vehicles inan adjacent lane. When driving in anarrow lane, the radar sensors maydetect vehicles driving two lanes away.

. The radar sensors are designed to ignoremost stationary objects, however ob-jects such as guardrails, walls, foliageand parked vehicles may occasionally bedetected. This is a normal operatingcondition.

. The following conditions may reduce theability of the radar to detect othervehicles:

— Severe weather

— Road spray

— Ice build-up on the vehicle

— Frost build-up on the vehicle

— Dirt build-up on the vehicle

. Do not attach stickers (including trans-parent material), install accessories orapply additional paint near the radarsensors. These conditions may reducethe ability of the radar to detect othervehicles.

. Excessive noise (for example, audiosystem volume, open vehicle window)will interfere with the chime sound, andit may not be heard.

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance controlmode is designed to maintain a selecteddistance and reduce the speed to matchthe slower vehicle ahead. The system willdecelerate the vehicle as necessary and ifthe vehicle ahead comes to a stop, thevehicle decelerates to a standstill. How-ever, the ICC system can only apply up to40% of the vehicle’s total braking power.This system should only be used whentraffic conditions allow vehicle speeds toremain fairly constant or when vehiclespeeds change gradually. If a vehiclemoves into the traveling lane ahead or ifa vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decele-rates, the distance between vehicles maybecome closer because the ICC systemcannot decelerate the vehicle quickly en-ough. If this occurs, the ICC system willsound a warning chime and blink thesystem display to notify the driver to takenecessary action.

The system will cancel and a warningchime will sound if the speed is belowapproximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and avehicle is not detected ahead. The systemwill also disengage when the vehicle goes

above the maximum set speed.

See “Approach warning” (P.5-51).

The following items are controlled in thevehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:

. When there are no vehicles travelingahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distancecontrol mode maintains the speed setby the driver. The set speed range isbetween approximately 20 and 90 MPH(32 and 144 km/h).

. When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,the vehicle-to-vehicle distance controlmode adjusts the speed to maintain thedistance, selected by driver, from thevehicle ahead. The adjusting speedrange is up to the set speed. If thevehicle ahead comes to a stop, thevehicle decelerates to a standstill with-in the limitations of the system. Thesystem will cancel once it judges astandstill with a warning chime.

. When the vehicle traveling ahead hasmoved out from its lane of travel, thevehicle-to-vehicle distance controlmode accelerates and maintains vehi-cle speed up to the set speed.

vehicle by controlling the throttle andapplying the brakes to match the speedof a slower vehicle ahead. The system thencontrols the vehicle speed based on thespeed of the vehicle ahead to maintain thedriver selected distance.

The stoplights of the vehicle come on andthe brake pedal depresses when braking isperformed by the ICC system.

When the brake operates, a noise may beheard. This is not a malfunction.

When a vehicle ahead is detected, thevehicle ahead detection indicator comeson. The ICC system will also display the set

Vehicle ahead not detected:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

When a vehicle is no longer detectedahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-ates your vehicle to resume the previouslyset vehicle speed. The ICC system thenmaintains the set speed.

When a vehicle is no longer detected thevehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.

If a vehicle ahead appears during accel-eration to the set vehicle speed or any timethe ICC system is in operation, the systemcontrols the distance to that vehicle.

When a vehicle is no longer detected underapproximately 15 MPH (24 km/h), thesystem will be canceled.

When passing another vehicle, the setspeed indicator will flash when the vehiclespeed exceeds the set speed. The vehicledetect indicator will turn off when the areaahead of the vehicle is open. When thepedal is released, the vehicle will return tothe previously set speed.

Even though your vehicle speed is set inthe ICC system, you can depress theaccelerator pedal when it is necessary toaccelerate your vehicle rapidly.

How to change the set vehiclespeed

Approach warningGUID-A4EB4C01-19D7-4B1B-8DAD-BF4D1F9A9881

If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicleahead due to rapid deceleration of thatvehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, thesystem warns the driver with the chime andICC system display. Decelerate by depres-sing the brake pedal to maintain a safevehicle distance if:

. The chime sounds.

. The vehicle ahead detection and setdistance indicator blink.

The warning chime may not sound in somecases when there is a short distancebetween vehicles. Some examples are:

. When the vehicles are traveling at thesame speed and the distance betweenvehicles is not changing

. When the vehicle ahead is travelingfaster and the distance between vehi-cles is increasing

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

. the vehicle approaches other vehiclesthat are parked or moving slowly.

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may soundand the system display may blink whenthe ICC sensor detects some reflectors *Awhich are fitted on vehicles in other lanesor on the side of the road. This may causethe ICC system to decelerate or acceleratethe vehicle. The ICC sensor may detectthese reflectors when the vehicle is drivenon winding roads, hilly roads or whenentering or exiting a curve. The ICC sensormay also detect reflectors on narrow roadsor in road construction zones. In thesecases you will have to manually control theproper distance ahead of your vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affectedby vehicle operation (steering maneuver ordriving position in the lane) or traffic orvehicle condition (for example, if a vehicleis being driven with some damage).

solely on the ICC system. This systemdoes not correct careless, inattentive orabsent-minded driving, or overcomepoor visibility in rain, fog, or other badweather. Decelerate the vehicle speed bydepressing the brake pedal, dependingon the distance to the vehicle ahead andthe surrounding circumstances in orderto maintain a safe distance betweenvehicles.

. If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, thevehicle decelerates to a standstill withinthe limitations of the system. Thesystem will cancel once it judges thatthe vehicle has come to a standstill andsound a warning chime. To prevent thevehicle from moving, the driver mustdepress the brake pedal.

. Always pay attention to the operation ofthe vehicle and be ready to manuallycontrol the proper following distance.The vehicle-to-vehicle distance controlmode of the ICC system may not be ableto maintain the selected distance be-tween vehicles (following distance) orselected vehicle speed under somecircumstances.

. Normally when controlling the distanceto a vehicle ahead, this system auto-

matically accelerates or decelerates yourvehicle according to the speed of thevehicle ahead. Depress the acceleratorpedal to properly accelerate your vehiclewhen acceleration is required for a lanechange. Depress the brake pedal whendeceleration is required to maintain asafe distance to the vehicle ahead due toits sudden braking or if a vehicle cuts in.Always stay alert when using the ICCsystem.

. The system may not detect the vehicle infront of you in certain road or weatherconditions. To avoid accidents, never usethe ICC system under the followingconditions:

— On roads where the traffic is heavyor there are sharp curves

— On slippery road surfaces such ason ice or snow, etc.

— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,etc.)

When the windshield wiper is oper-ated at the low speed (LO) or highspeed (HI) position, the ICC system isautomatically canceled.

— When strong light (for example, at

sunrise or sunset) is directly shiningon the front of the vehicle

— When rain, snow or dirt adhere tothe system sensor

— On steep downhill roads (the vehi-cle may go beyond the set vehiclespeed and frequent braking mayresult in overheating the brakes)

— On repeated uphill and downhillroads

— When traffic conditions make itdifficult to keep a proper distancebetween vehicles because of fre-quent acceleration or deceleration

— In some road or traffic conditions, avehicle or object can unexpectedlycome into the sensor detection zoneand cause automatic braking. Alwaysstay alert and avoid using the ICCsystem when it is not recommendedin this section.

The distance sensor will not detect thefollowing objects:

The sensor generally detects the signalsreturned from the reflectors on a vehicleahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannotdetect the reflector on the vehicle ahead,the ICC system may not maintain theselected distance.

The following are some conditions in whichthe sensor cannot detect the signals:

. When the reflector of the vehicle aheadis positioned high on the vehicle(trailer, etc.)

. When the reflector on the vehicle aheadis missing, damaged or covered

. When the reflector of the vehicle aheadis covered with dirt, snow and roadspray

. When the snow or road spray fromtraveling vehicles reduces the sensor’svisibility

. When dense exhaust or other smoke(black smoke) from vehicles reducesthe sensor’s visibility

. When excessively heavy baggage isloaded in the rear seat or the luggageroom of your vehicle

The ICC system is designed to automati-cally check the sensor’s operation withinthe limitation of the system. When thesensor is covered with dirt or is obstructed,the system will automatically be canceled.If the sensor is covered with ice, atransparent or translucent vinyl bag, etc.,the ICC system may not detect them. Inthese instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-tance control mode may not cancel andmay not be able to maintain the selectedfollowing distance from the vehicle ahead.Be sure to check and clean the sensorregularly.

The detection zone of the ICC sensor islimited. A vehicle ahead must be in thedetection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicledistance detection mode to maintain theselected distance from the vehicle ahead.

A vehicle ahead may move outside of thedetection zone due to its position withinthe same lane of travel. Motorcycles maynot be detected in the same lane ahead ifthey are traveling offset from the centerlineof the lane. A vehicle that is entering thelane ahead may not be detected until thevehicle has completely moved into thelane. If this occurs, the ICC system maywarn you by blinking the system indicator

and sounding the chime. The driver mayhave to manually control the proper dis-tance away from vehicle traveling ahead.

The stoplights of the vehicle come on andthe brake pedal depresses when braking isperformed by the DCA system.

When the brake operates, a noise may beheard. This is not a malfunction.

Overriding the system:

The following driver’s operation overridesthe system operation.

. When the driver depresses the accel-erator pedal even further while thesystem is moving the accelerator pedalupward, the DCA system control of theaccelerator pedal is canceled.

. When the driver’s foot is on the accel-erator pedal, the brake control by thesystem is not operated.

. When the driver’s foot is on the brakepedal, neither the brake control nor thealert by the system operates.

. When the Intelligent Cruise Controlsystem is set, the DCA system will becancelled.

If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicleahead due to rapid deceleration of thatvehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, thesystem warns the driver with the chime andDCA system display. Decelerate by depres-sing the brake pedal to maintain a safevehicle distance if:

. The chime sounds.

. The vehicle ahead detection indicatorblinks.

The warning chime may not sound in somecases when there is a short distancebetween vehicles. Some examples are:

. When the vehicles are traveling at thesame speed and the distance betweenvehicles is not changing

. When the vehicle ahead is travelingfaster and the distance between vehi-cles is increasing

. When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicleThe warning chime will not sound whenyour vehicle approaches vehicles that areparked or moving slowly.

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may soundand the system display may blink whenthe sensor detects some reflectors *Awhich are fitted on vehicles in other lanesor on the side of the road. This may causethe DCA system to operate inappropri-ately. The sensor may detect these reflec-tors when the vehicle is driven on windingroads, hilly roads or when entering orexiting a curve. The sensor may also detectreflectors on narrow roads or in roadconstruction zones. In these cases youwill have to manually control the properdistance ahead of your vehicle.

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations ofthe DCA system. Failure to operate thevehicle in accordance with these systemlimitations could result in serious injury ordeath.

. This system will not adapt automaticallyto road conditions. Do not use thesystem on roads with sharp curves, oron icy roads, in heavy rain or in fog.

. The DCA system will not apply brakecontrol while the driver’s foot is on theaccelerator pedal.

. As there is a performance limit to thedistance control function, never relysolely on the DCA system. This systemdoes not correct careless, inattentive orabsent-minded driving, or overcomepoor visibility in rain, fog, or other badweather. Decelerate the vehicle speed bydepressing the brake pedal, dependingon the distance to the vehicle ahead andthe surrounding circumstances in order

to maintain a safe distance betweenvehicles.

. Always pay attention to the operation ofthe vehicle and be ready to manuallydecelerate to maintain the proper follow-ing distance. The DCA systemmay not beable to decelerate the vehicle undersome circumstances.

. The DCA system automatically decele-rates your vehicle to help assist thedriver to maintain a following distancefrom the vehicle ahead. Manually brakewhen deceleration is required to main-tain a safe distance upon sudden brak-ing by the vehicle ahead or when avehicle suddenly appears in front of you.Always stay alert when using the DCAsystem.

. The system may not detect the vehicle infront of you in certain road or weatherconditions. To avoid accidents, never usethe DCA system under the followingconditions:

— On roads with sharp curves

— On slippery road surfaces such ason ice or snow, etc.

— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

etc.)

— When strong light (for example, atsunrise or sunset) is directly shiningon the front of the vehicle

— When rain, snow or dirt adhere tothe system sensor

— On steep downhill roads (frequentbraking may result in overheatingthe brakes)

— On repeated uphill and downhillroads

. In some road or traffic conditions, avehicle or object can unexpectedly comeinto the sensor detection zone and causeautomatic braking. You may need tocontrol the distance from other vehiclesusing the accelerator pedal. Always stayalert and avoid using the DCA systemwhen it is not recommended in thissection.

The distance sensor will not detect thefollowing objects:

. Stationary and slow moving vehicles

. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane

. Motorcycles traveling offset in the travellane

The sensor generally detects the signalsreturned from the reflectors on a vehicleahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannotdetect the reflector on the vehicle ahead,the DCA system may not operate.

The following are some conditions in whichthe sensor cannot detect the signals:

. When the reflector of the vehicle aheadis positioned high on the vehicle(trailer, etc.)

. When the reflector on the vehicle aheadis missing, damaged or covered

. When the reflector of the vehicle aheadis covered with dirt, snow and roadspray

. When the snow or road spray fromtraveling vehicles reduces the sensor’svisibility

. When dense exhaust or other smoke(black smoke) from vehicles reducesthe sensor’s visibility

. When excessively heavy baggage isloaded in the rear seat or the luggageroom of your vehicle

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),follow these recommendations to obtainmaximum engine performance and ensurethe future reliability and economy of yournew vehicle.

Failure to follow these recommendationsmay result in shortened engine life andreduced engine performance.

. Avoid driving for long periods at con-stant speed, either fast or slow. Do notrun the engine over 4,000 rpm.

. Do not accelerate at full throttle in anygear.

. Avoid quick starts.

. Avoid hard braking as much as possi-ble.

GUID-36F574D4-B395-43F9-8063-4EC12336BC88

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel EfficientDriving Tips to help you achieve the mostfuel economy from your vehicle.

1. Use smooth accelerator and brakepedal application.. Avoid rapid starts and stops.. Use smooth, gentle accelerator and

brake application whenever possi-ble.

. Maintain constant speed while com-muting and coast whenever possi-ble.

2. Maintain constant speed.. Look ahead to try and anticipate and

minimize stops.. Synchronizing your speed with traf-

fic lights allows you to reduce yournumber of stops.

. Maintaining a steady speed canminimize red light stops and im-prove fuel efficiency.

3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at highervehicle speeds.. Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to open windows to cool thevehicle due to reduced engine load.

. Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is moreefficient to use A/C to cool thevehicle due to increased aerody-

namic drag.. Recirculating the cool air in the cabin

when the A/C is on reduces coolingload.

4. Drive at economical speeds and dis-tances.. Observing the speed limit and not

exceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (wherelegally allowed) can improve fuelefficiency due to reduced aerody-namic drag.

. Maintaining a safe following dis-tance behind other vehicles reducesunnecessary braking.

. Safely monitoring traffic to antici-pate changes in speed permitsreduced braking and smooth accel-eration changes.

. Select a gear range suitable to roadconditions.

5. Use cruise control.. Using cruise control during highway

driving helps maintain a steadyspeed.

. Cruise control is particularly effec-tive in providing fuel savings whendriving on flat terrains.

6. Plan for the shortest route.. Utilize a map or navigation system to

determine the best route to savetime.

7. Avoid idling.. Shutting off your engine when safe

for stops exceeding 30-60 secondssaves fuel and reduces emissions.

8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.. Automated passes permit drivers to

use special lanes to maintain cruis-ing speed through the toll and avoidstopping 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 toeffectively circulate the engine oilbefore driving.

. Your vehicle will reach its idealoperating temperature more quicklywhile driving versus idling.

10.Keeping your vehicle cool.. Park your vehicle in a covered

parking area or in the shade when-ever possible.

. When entering a hot vehicle, open-ing the windows will help to reducethe inside temperature faster, result-ing in reduced demand on your A/Csystem.

GUID-51AEC030-65C9-47EF-B6A3-8493FD8D8CF2

. Keep your engine tuned up.

. Follow the recommended scheduledmaintenance.

. Keep the tires inflated to the correctpressure. Low tire pressure increasestire wear and lowers fuel economy.

. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.Improper alignment increases tire wearand lowers fuel economy.

. Use the recommended viscosity engineoil. (See “Engine oil and oil filterrecommendation” (P.9-5).)

The AWD warning light is located in themeter.

The AWD warning light comes on when theignition switch is pushed to the ONposition. It turns off soon after the engineis started.

If any malfunction occurs in the AWD

system while the engine is running, thewarning light will come on.

The warning light may blink rapidly (abouttwice per second) while trying to free astuck vehicle due to high power train oiltemperature. The driving mode may changeto two-wheel drive. If the warning lightblinks rapidly during operation, stop thevehicle with the engine idling in a safeplace immediately. Then if the light goesoff after a while, you can continue driving.

A large difference between the diametersof front and rear wheels will make thewarning light blink slowly (about once pertwo seconds). Pull off the road in a safearea, and idle the engine. Check that all tiresizes are the same, tire pressure is correctand tires are not worn.

If the warning light is blinking after theabove operation, have your vehiclechecked by an INFINITI retailer as soon aspossible.

WARNING

. For AWD equipped vehicles, do notattempt to raise two wheels off theground and shift the transmission to

any drive or reverse position with theengine running. Doing so may result indrivetrain damage or unexpected vehiclemovement which could result in seriousvehicle damage or personal injury.

. Do not attempt to test an AWD equippedvehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer (suchas the dynamometers used by somestates for emissions testing) or similarequipment even if the other two wheelsare raised off the ground. Make sure thatyou inform the test facility personnelthat your vehicle is equipped with AWDbefore it is placed on a dynamometer.Using the wrong test equipment mayresult in drivetrain damage or unex-pected vehicle movement which couldresult in serious vehicle damage orpersonal injury.

CAUTION

. Do not operate the engine on a free rollerwhen any of the wheels are raised.

The brake system has two separate hy-draulic circuits. If one circuit malfunctions,you will still have braking at two wheels.

You may feel a small click and hear a soundwhen the brake pedal is fully depressedslowly. This is not a malfunction andindicates that the brake assist mechanismis operating properly.

Vacuum assisted brakesGUID-239EE89D-FF2A-4B40-B850-165EEC876EAA

The brake booster aids braking by usingengine vacuum. If the engine stops, youcan stop the vehicle by depressing thebrake pedal. However, greater foot pres-sure on the brake pedal will be required tostop the vehicle and the stopping distancewill be longer.

When the brake pedal is depressed slowlyand firmly, you may hear a clicking noiseand feel a slight pulsation. This is normaland indicates that the Brake Assist Systemis operating.

Wet brakesGUID-44F055D3-0890-4EF5-A5E6-0D716CFF6821

When the vehicle is washed or driventhrough water, the brakes may get wet.As a result, your braking distance will belonger and the vehicle may pull to one side

during braking.

To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safespeed while lightly tapping the brake pedalto heat-up the brakes. Do this until thebrakes return to normal. Avoid driving thevehicle at high speeds until the brakesfunction correctly.

PARKING BRAKE BREAK-INGUID-09770916-692D-4289-9868-79769B238EA8

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)GUID-85380D8A-4BD0-498F-B350-7DE5284287C5

WARNING

. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is asophisticated device, but it cannot pre-vent accidents resulting from careless ordangerous driving techniques. It canhelp maintain vehicle control duringbraking on slippery surfaces. Rememberthat stopping distances on slipperysurfaces will be longer than on normalsurfaces even with ABS. Stopping dis-tances may also be longer on rough,gravel or snow covered roads, or if youare using tire chains. Always maintain asafe distance from the vehicle in front ofyou. Ultimately, the driver is responsiblefor safety.

. Tire type and condition may also affectbraking effectiveness.

— When replacing tires, install thespecified size of tires on all fourwheels.

— When installing a spare tire, makesure that it is the proper size andtype as specified on the Tire andLoading Information label. See “Tire

and Loading Information label” (P.9-11).

— For detailed information, see“Wheels and tires” (P.8-29).

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) con-trols the brakes so the wheels do not lockduring hard braking or when braking onslippery surfaces. The system detects therotation speed at each wheel and variesthe brake fluid pressure to prevent eachwheel from locking and sliding. By pre-venting each wheel from locking, thesystem helps the driver maintain steeringcontrol and helps to minimize swervingand spinning on slippery surfaces.

Using the systemGUID-3868867B-C702-4422-8A3D-5F07812E8BFB

Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.Depress the brake pedal with firm steadypressure, but do not pump the brakes. TheABS will operate to prevent the wheelsfrom locking up. Steer the vehicle to avoidobstacles.

WARNING

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

Self-test featureGUID-8C38208D-BDD0-4E16-BA43-F07BEDECBDAB

The ABS includes electronic sensors, elec-tric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and acomputer. The computer has a built-indiagnostic feature that tests the systemeach time you start the engine and movethe vehicle at a low speed in forward orreverse.When the self-test occurs, you mayhear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsa-tion in the brake pedal. This is normal anddoes not indicate a malfunction. If thecomputer senses a malfunction, it switchesthe ABS off and illuminates the ABSwarning light on the instrument panel.The brake system then operates normally,but without anti-lock assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates duringthe self-test or while driving, have thevehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer.

Normal operationGUID-1EBEE483-014E-4CF9-8998-795276421AF5

The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6MPH (5 to 10 km/h). The speed variesaccording to road conditions.

When the ABS senses that one or morewheels are close to locking up, the actuatorrapidly applies and releases hydraulicpressure. This action is similar to pumpingthe brakes very quickly. You may feel apulsation in the brake pedal and hear anoise from under the hood or feel avibration from the actuator when it isoperating. This is normal and indicatesthat the ABS is operating properly. How-ever, the pulsation may indicate that roadconditions are hazardous and extra care isrequired while driving.

The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) systemuses various sensors to monitor driverinputs and vehicle motion. Under certaindriving conditions, the VDC system helpsto perform the following functions.

. Controls brake pressure to reducewheel slip on one slipping drive wheelso power is transferred to a nonslipping drive wheel on the same axle.

. Controls brake pressure and engineoutput to reduce drive wheel slip basedon vehicle speed (traction control func-tion).

. Controls brake pressure at individualwheels and engine output to help thedriver maintain control of the vehicle inthe following conditions:— understeer (vehicle tends to not

follow the steered path despiteincreased steering input)

— oversteer (vehicle tends to spin dueto certain road or driving condi-tions).

The VDC system can help the driver tomaintain control of the vehicle, but itcannot prevent loss of vehicle control inall driving situations.

When the VDC system operates, the VDCwarning light in the instrument panel

flashes so note the following:

. The road may be slippery or the systemmay determine some action is requiredto help keep the vehicle on the steeredpath.

. You may feel a pulsation in the brakepedal and hear a noise or vibrationfrom under the hood. This is normal andindicates that the VDC system is work-ing properly.

. Adjust your speed and driving to theroad conditions.

See “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warn-ing light” (P.2-16).

If a malfunction occurs in the system, theVDC warning light illuminates in theinstrument panel. The VDC system auto-matically turns off.

The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off theVDC system. The VDC off indicator lightilluminates to indicate the VDC system isoff.When the VDC switch is used to turn offthe system, the VDC system still operatesto prevent one drive wheel from slipping bytransferring power to a non slipping drivewheel. The VDC warning light flashes ifthis occurs. All other VDC functions are off,and the VDC warning light will notflash. The VDC system is automatically

reset to on when the ignition switch isplaced in the off position then back to theon position.

See “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warn-ing light” (P.2-16) and “Vehicle DynamicControl (VDC) off indicator light” (P.2-19).

The computer has a built-in diagnosticfeature that tests the system each time youstart the engine and move the vehicleforward or in reverse at a slow speed.Whenthe self-test occurs, you may hear a“clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation inthe brake pedal. This is normal and is notan indication of a malfunction.

TIRE EQUIPMENTGUID-1CA8DAE2-704C-45E1-ADDE-12FEC45C20DC

SUMMER tires have a tread designed toprovide superior performance on dry pave-ment. However, the performance of thesetires will be substantially reduced in snowyand icy conditions. If you operate yourvehicle on snowy or icy roads, INFINITIrecommends the use of MUD & SNOW orALL SEASON tires on all four wheels.Consult an INFINITI retailer for the tire type,size, speed rating and availability informa-tion.

For additional traction on icy roads,studded tires may be used. However, someU.S. states and Canadian provinces prohi-bit their use. Check local, state andprovincial laws before installing studdedtires.

Skid and traction capabilities of studdedsnow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may bepoorer than that of non-studded snowtires.

Tire chains may be used. For details, see“Tire chains” (P.8-36).

For all-wheel driveGUID-839D0174-09FD-4A7F-8017-49970E3872CB

If you install snow tires, they must also bethe same size, brand, construction andtread pattern on all four wheels.

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENTGUID-6B7C470C-F2FB-4473-B3CE-1FBF3ECC08A9

It is recommended that the following itemsbe carried in the vehicle during winter:

. A scraper and stiff-bristled brush toremove ice and snow from the windowsand wiper blades.

. A sturdy, flat board to be placed underthe jack to give it firm support.

. A shovel to dig the vehicle out ofsnowdrifts.

. Extra window washer fluid to refill thereservoir tank.

DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICEGUID-3236EB46-D18D-4D19-956A-78F9BA603AF3

WARNING

. Wet ice (328F, 08C and freezing rain),very cold snow or ice can be slick andvery hard to drive on. The vehicle willhave much less traction or “grip” underthese conditions. Try to avoid driving onwet ice until the road is salted or sanded.

. Whatever the condition, drive with cau-tion. Accelerate and slow down withcare. If accelerating or downshifting toofast, the drive wheels will lose even moretraction.

. Allow more stopping distance underthese conditions. Braking should bestarted sooner than on dry pavement.

. Allow greater following distances onslippery roads.

. Watch for slippery spots (glare ice).These may appear on an otherwise clearroad in shaded areas. If a patch of ice isseen ahead, brake before reaching it. Trynot to brake while on the ice, and avoidany sudden steering maneuvers.

. Do not use the cruise control on slipperyroads.

. Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gasesunder your vehicle. Keep snow clear ofthe exhaust pipe and from around yourvehicle.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-TEM (TPMS)

GUID-7478345F-A7C3-427E-ABAB-5ADEB0DD4ED3

This vehicle is equipped with the TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Itmonitors tire pressure of all tires exceptthe spare. When the low tire pressurewarning light is lit and the CHECK TIREPRESSURE warning appears on the vehicleinformation display, one or more of yourtires is significantly under-inflated. If thevehicle is being driven with low tirepressure, the TPMS will activate and warnyou of it by the low tire pressure warninglight. This system will activate only whenthe vehicle is driven at speeds above 16MPH (25 km/h). For more details, see“Warning lights, indicator lights and audi-ble reminders” (P.2-10) and “Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5).

WARNING

. If the low tire pressure warning lightilluminates while driving, avoid suddensteering maneuvers or abrupt braking,reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road toa safe location and stop the vehicle assoon as possible. Driving with under-inflated tires may permanently damage

the tires and increase the likelihood oftire failure. Serious vehicle damagecould occur and may lead to an accidentand could result in serious personalinjury. Check the tire pressure for allfour tires. Adjust the tire pressure to therecommended COLD tire pressure shownon the Tire and Loading Informationlabel to turn the low tire pressurewarning light OFF. If the light stillilluminates while driving after adjustingthe tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If youhave a flat tire, replace it with a sparetire as soon as possible.

. Since the spare tire is not equipped withthe TPMS, when a spare tire is mountedor a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will notfunction and the low tire pressure warn-ing light will flash for approximately 1minute. The light will remain on after 1minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer assoon as possible for tire replacementand/or system resetting.

. Replacing tires with those not originallyspecified by INFINITI could affect theproper operation of the TPMS.

. Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosoltire sealant into the tires, as this maycause a malfunction of the tire pressure

TIRE DRESSINGGUID-C4834CAA-6AB9-4461-8146-49C833439B94

INFINITI does not recommend the use oftire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply acoating to the tires to help reduce dis-coloration of the rubber. If a tire dressing isapplied to the tires, it may react with thecoating and form a compound. This com-pound may come off the tire while drivingand stain the vehicle paint.

If you choose to use a tire dressing, takethe following precautions:

. Use a water-based tire dressing. Thecoating on the tire dissolves moreeasily with an oil-based tire dressing.

. Apply a light coat of tire dressing tohelp prevent it from entering the tiretread/grooves (where it would be diffi-cult to remove).

. Wipe off excess tire dressing using a drytowel. Make sure the tire dressing iscompletely removed from the tiretread/grooves.

. Allow the tire dressing to dry asrecommended by tire dressing manu-facturer.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS)

GUID-9CC8D220-8196-4362-9950-C494673884D4

This vehicle is equipped with the TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Itmonitors tire pressure of all tires exceptthe spare. When the low tire pressurewarning light is lit and the CHECK TIREPRESSURE warning appears on the vehicleinformation display, one or more of yourtires is significantly under-inflated.

The TPMS will activate only when thevehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH(25 km/h). Also, this system may notdetect a sudden drop in tire pressure (forexample a flat tire while driving).

For more details, see “Low tire pressurewarning light” (P.2-14), “Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5) and“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-3).

Tire inflation pressureGUID-D7E83032-4B7A-4527-972D-8269F22590B9

Check the pressure of the tires(including the spare) often and al-ways prior to long distance trips. The

recommended tire pressure specifi-cations are shown on the Tire andLoading Information label under the“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. TheTire and Loading Information label isaffixed to the driver side center pillar.Tire pressures should be checkedregularly because:

. Most tires naturally lose air overtime.

. Tires can lose air suddenly whendriven over potholes or otherobjects or if the vehicle strikes acurb while parking.

The tire pressures should be checkedwhen the tires are cold. The tires areconsidered COLD after the vehiclehas been parked for 3 or more hours,or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) atmoderate speeds.

Incorrect tire pressure, includingunder inflation, may adversely affecttire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

. Improperly inflated tires can failsuddenly and cause an accident.

. The Gross Vehicle Weight rating(GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.The vehicle weight capacity isindicated on the Tire and LoadingInformation label. Do not load yourvehicle beyond this capacity. Over-loading your vehicle may result inreduced tire life, unsafe operatingconditions due to premature tirefailure, or unfavorable handlingcharacteristics and could also leadto a serious accident. Loadingbeyond the specified capacitymay also result in failure of othervehicle components.

. Before taking a long trip, or when-ever you heavily load your vehicle,use a tire pressure gauge toensure that the tire pressures are

1. P: The “P” indicates the tire isdesigned for passenger vehicles.(Not all tires have this informa-tion.)

2. Three-digit number (215): Thisnumber gives the width in milli-meters of the tire from sidewalledge to sidewall edge.

3. Two-digit number (60): This num-ber, known as the aspect ratio,

gives the tire’s ratio of height towidth.

4. R: The “R” stands for radial.

5. Two-digit number (16): This num-ber is the wheel or rim diameter ininches.

6. Two- or three-digit number (94):This number is the tire’s loadindex. It is a measurement ofhow much weight each tire cansupport. You may not find thisinformation on all tires because itis not required by law.

TYPES OF TIRESGUID-ACC87B05-3863-431B-A812-CA6571A0EB69

WARNING

. When changing or replacing tires, besure all four tires are of the same type(Example: Summer, All Season or Snow)and construction. An INFINITI retailermay be able to help you with informationabout tire type, size, speed rating andavailability.

. Replacement tires may have a lowerspeed rating than the factory equippedtires, and may not match the potentialmaximum vehicle speed. Never exceed

the maximum speed rating of the tire.

. Replacing tires with those not originallyspecified by INFINITI could affect theproper operation of the TPMS.

. For additional information regardingtires, refer to “Important Tire SafetyInformation” (US) or “Tire Safety Infor-mation” (Canada) in the Warranty Infor-mation Booklet.

All season tiresGUID-9BB582D6-5DCB-4079-89B7-C19D2C973375

INFINITI specifies all season tires on somemodels to provide good performance allyear, including snowy and icy road condi-tions. All Season tires are identified by ALLSEASON and/or M&S (Mud and Snow) onthe tire sidewall. Snow tires have bettersnow traction than All Season tires andmay be more appropriate in some areas.

Summer tiresGUID-BD00967A-7E37-4DD8-9CEC-0B1C05C331F8

INFINITI specifies summer tires on somemodels to provide superior performance ondry roads. Summer tire performance issubstantially reduced in snow and ice.Summer tires do not have the tire tractionrating M&S on the tire sidewall.

If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy

or icy conditions, INFINITI recommends theuse of SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires onall four wheels.

Snow tiresGUID-1617EBA1-AEA7-458D-906D-E62D31D192A0

If snow tires are needed, it is necessary toselect tires equivalent in size and loadrating to the original equipment tires. Ifyou do not, it can adversely affect thesafety and handling of your vehicle.

Generally, snow tires will have lower speedratings than factory equipped tires andmay not match the potential maximumvehicle speed. Never exceed the maximumspeed rating of the tire.

If you install snow tires, they must be thesame size, brand, construction and treadpattern on all four wheels.

For additional traction on icy roads,studded tires may be used. However, someU.S. states and Canadian provinces prohi-bit their use. Check local, state andprovincial laws before installing studdedtires. Skid and traction capabilities ofstudded snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces,may be poorer than that of non-studdedsnow tires.

TIRE CHAINSGUID-9B415C38-B945-4085-A67C-E611501D539F

Use of tire chains may be prohibitedaccording to location. Check the local lawsbefore installing tire chains. When instal-ling tire chains, make sure they are theproper size for the tires on your vehicle andare installed according to the chain man-ufacturer’s suggestions. Use only SAEClass S chains. Class “S” chains are usedon vehicles with restricted tire to vehicleclearance. Vehicles that can use Class “S”chains are designed to meet the SAEstandard minimum clearances betweenthe tire and the closest vehicle suspensionor body component required to accommo-date the use of a winter traction device (tirechains or cables). The minimum clearancesare determined using the factory equippedtire size. Other types may damage yourvehicle. Use chain tensioners when recom-mended by the tire chain manufacturer toensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tirechain must be secured or removed toprevent the possibility of whipping actiondamage to the fenders or underbody. Ifpossible, avoid fully loading your vehiclewhen using tire chains. In addition, drive ata reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehiclemay be damaged and/or vehicle handling

and performance may be adversely af-fected.

Tire chains must be installed only on therear wheels and not on the front wheels.

Never install tire chains on a TEMPORARYUSE ONLY spare tire.

Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Drivingwith tire chains in such conditions cancause damage to the various mechanismsof the vehicle due to some overstress.

When replacing a tire, use the same size,tread design, speed rating and load carry-ing capacity as originally equipped. (See“Specifications” (P.9-7) for recommendedtypes and sizes of tires and wheels.)

WARNING

. The use of tires other than thoserecommended or the mixed use of tiresof different brands, construction (bias,bias-belted or radial), or tread patternscan adversely affect the ride, braking,handling, ground clearance, body-to-tireclearance, tire chain clearance, speed-ometer calibration, headlight aim andbumper height. Some of these effectsmay lead to accidents and could result inserious personal injury.

. For Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) models, ifyour vehicle was originally equippedwith 4 tires that were the same sizeand you are only replacing 2 of the 4tires, install the new tires on the rearaxle. Placing new tires on the front axlemay cause loss of vehicle control insome driving conditions and cause an

accident and personal injury.

. If the wheels are changed for any reason,always replace with wheels which havethe same off-set dimension. Wheels of adifferent off-set could cause prematuretire wear, degrade vehicle handlingcharacteristics and/or interference withthe brake discs/drums. Such interfer-ence can lead to decreased brakingefficiency and/or early brake pad/shoewear. See “Wheels and tires” (P.9-8) forwheel off-set dimensions.

. Since the spare tire is not equipped withthe TPMS, when a spare tire is mountedor a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will notfunction and the low tire pressure warn-ing light will flash for approximately 1minute. The light will remain on after 1minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer assoon as possible for tire replacementand/or system resetting.

. Replacing tires with those not originallyspecified by INFINITI could affect theproper operation of the TPMS.

. The TPMS sensor may be damaged if it isnot handled correctly. Be careful whenhandling the TPMS sensor.

. When replacing the TPMS sensor, the IDregistration may be required. Contact anINFINITI retailer for ID registration.

. Do not use a valve stem cap that is notspecified by INFINITI. The valve stem capmay become stuck.

. Be sure that the valve stem caps arecorrectly fitted. Otherwise the valve maybe clogged up with dirt and cause amalfunction or loss of pressure.

. Do not install a damaged or deformedwheel or tire even if it has been repaired.Such wheels or tires could have struc-tural damage and could fail withoutwarning.

. Under no circumstances should a leadedgasoline be used, because this will

damage the three-way catalyst.

. Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in yourvehicle. Your vehicle is not designed torun on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specificallydesigned for E-15 or E-85 fuel canadversely affect the emission controldevices and systems of the vehicle.Damage caused by such fuel is notcovered by the INFINITI new vehiclelimited warranty.

. Do not use fuel that contains the octanebooster methylcyclopentadienyl manga-nese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel con-taining MMT may adversely affectvehicle performance and vehicle emis-sions. Not all fuel dispensers are labeledto indicate MMT content, so you mayhave to consult your gasoline retailer formore details. Note that Federal andCalifornia laws prohibit the use of MMTin reformulated gasoline.

Gasoline specificationsGUID-2DC86A18-DBCC-43CE-B5AB-6E82BC6CB234

INFINITI recommends using gasoline thatmeets the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)specifications where it is available. Manyof the automobile manufacturers devel-oped this specification to improve emis-sion system and vehicle performance. Askyour service station manager if the gaso-line meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter(WWFC) specifications.

Reformulated gasolineGUID-FFD8DD26-12F6-4333-9BE8-1C83547ED623

Some fuel suppliers are now producingreformulated gasolines. These gasolinesare specially designed to reduce vehicleemissions. INFINITI supports efforts to-wards cleaner air and suggests that youuse reformulated gasoline when available.

Gasoline containing oxygenatesGUID-B34BC7D2-DC81-41BB-894B-637BFA9334E5

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline contain-ing oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE andmethanol with or without advertising theirpresence. INFINITI does not recommend theuse of fuels of which the oxygenate contentand the fuel compatibility for your INFINITIcannot be readily determined. If in doubt,ask your service station manager.

please take the following precautions asthe usage of such fuels may cause vehicleperformance problems and/or fuel systemdamage.

. The fuel should be unleaded and havean octane rating no lower than thatrecommended for unleaded gasoline.

. If an oxygenate-blend, excepting amethanol blend, is used, it shouldcontain no more than 10% oxygenate.(MTBE may, however, be added up to15%.)

. E-15 fuel contains more than 10%oxygenate. E-15 fuel will adverselyaffect the emission control devicesand systems of the vehicle and shouldnot be used. Damage caused by suchfuel is not covered by the INFINITI newvehicle limited warranty.

. If a methanol blend is used, it shouldcontain no more than 5% methanol(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). Itshould also contain a suitable amountof appropriate cosolvents and corro-sion inhibitors. If not properly formu-lated with appropriate cosolvents andcorrosion inhibitors, such methanolblends may cause fuel system damageand/or vehicle performance problems.

At this time, sufficient data is notavailable to ensure that all methanolblends are suitable for use in INFINITIvehicles.

If any undesirable driveability problemssuch as engine stalling or hard hot startingare experienced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, immediately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel with a low blend ofMTBE.

Take care not to spill gasoline duringrefueling. Gasoline containing oxygenatescan cause paint damage.

E-15 fuelGUID-0B0AC53C-1D11-48CF-A3BB-7B6C1DAEF14D

E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately15% fuel ethanol and 85% unleadedgasoline. E-15 can only be used in vehiclesdesigned to run on E-15 fuel. Do not use E-15 in your vehicle. U.S. government reg-ulations require fuel ethanol dispensingpumps to be identified with small, square,orange and black label with the commonabbreviation or the appropriate percentagefor that region.

E-85 fuelGUID-02C7B23E-FF4D-482C-B234-9B460BBAD3CE

E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleadedgasoline. E-85 can only be used in a

Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. U.S. governmentregulations require fuel ethanol dispensingpumps to be identified by a small, square,orange and black label with the commonabbreviation or the appropriate percentagefor that region.

Fuel containing MMTGUID-57F200D5-97FF-4FD7-BF8E-56970FAE9640

MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manga-nese tricarbonyl, is an octane boostingadditive. INFINITI does not recommend theuse of fuel containing MMT. Such fuel mayadversely affect vehicle performance, in-cluding the emissions control system. Notethat while some fuel pumps label MMTcontent, not all do, so you may have toconsult your gasoline retailer for moredetails.

Aftermarket fuel additivesGUID-96F9552D-F837-4E26-B543-683050AB2993

INFINITI does not recommend the use ofany aftermarket fuel additives (Example:fuel injector cleaner, octane booster, in-take valve deposit removers, etc.) whichare sold commercially. Many of theseadditives intended for gum, varnish ordeposit removal may contain active solventor similar ingredients that can be harmfulto the fuel system and engine.

Octane rating tipsGUID-4D085589-81ED-499D-9F14-D3BD8B8AF9DF

Using unleaded gasoline with an octanerating lower than recommended above cancause 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 sparkknock even when using gasoline of thestated octane rating, or if you hear steadyspark knock while holding a steady speedon level roads, have an INFINITI retailercorrect the condition. Failure to correct thecondition is misuse of the vehicle, forwhich INFINITI is not responsible.

Incorrect ignition timing will result inknocking, after-run or overheating. This inturn may cause excessive fuel consumptionor damage to the engine. If any of theabove symptoms are encountered, haveyour vehicle checked at an INFINITI retaileror other competent service facility.

However, now and then you may noticelight spark knock for a short time whileaccelerating or driving up hills. This is nocause for concern, because you get thegreatest fuel benefit when there is lightspark knock for a short time under heavyengine load.

To get “the combined weight ofoccupants and cargo”, add theweight of all occupants, then add

the total luggage weight. Examplesare shown in the illustration.

Steps for determining correct loadlimit

GUID-386F7DD8-CC2E-434E-A1EA-CC0BAD0D730F

1. Locate the statement “The com-bined weight of occupants andcargo should never exceed XXX kgor XXX lbs” on your vehicle’splacard.

2. Determine the combined weightof the driver and passengers thatwill be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers fromXXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity. For exam-ple, if the XXX amount equals1400 lbs. and there will be five150 lb. passengers in your vehi-cle, the amount of available cargoand luggage load capacity is 650lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650lbs) or 640 − 340 (5 x 70) = 300kg.)

5. Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo beingloaded on the vehicle. That weightmay not safely exceed the avail-able cargo and luggage loadcapacity calculated in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing atrailer, load from your trailer willbe transferred to your vehicle.Consult this manual to determinehow this reduces the available

WARNING

A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive(AWD) should never be tested using a twowheel dynamometer (such as the dynam-ometers used by some states for emissionstesting), or similar equipment. Make sureyou inform test facility personnel that yourvehicle is equipped with AWD before it isplaced on a dynamometer. Using the wrongtest equipment may result in transmissiondamage or unexpected vehicle movementwhich could result in serious vehicle da-mage or personal injury.

Due to legal requirements in some states/areas or provinces, your vehicle may berequired to be in what is called the “readycondition” for an Inspection/Maintenance(I/M) test of the emission control system.

The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”when it is driven through certain drivingpatterns. Usually, the “ready condition”can be obtained by ordinary usage of thevehicle.

If a powertrain system component isrepaired or the battery is disconnected,the vehicle may be reset to a “not ready

condition”. Before taking the I/M test,check the vehicle’s inspection/mainte-nance test readiness condition. Place theignition switch in the ON position withoutstarting the engine. If the MalfunctionIndicator Light (MIL) comes on steady for20 seconds and then blinks for 10 sec-onds, the I/M test condition is “not ready”.If the MIL does not blink after 20 seconds,the I/M test condition is “ready”.

Contact an INFINITI retailer to set the“ready condition” or to prepare the vehiclefor testing.

This vehicle is equipped with an Event DataRecorder (EDR). The main purpose of anEDR is to record, in certain crash or nearcrash-like situations, such as an air bagdeployment or hitting a road obstacle, datathat will assist in understanding how avehicle’s systems performed. The EDR isdesigned to record data related to vehicledynamics and safety systems for a shortperiod of time, typically 30 seconds or less.The EDR in this vehicle is designed torecord such data as:

. How various systems in your vehiclewere operating;

. Whether or not the driver and passen-ger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

. How far (if at all) the driver wasdepressing the accelerator and/orbrake pedal; and,

. How fast the vehicle was traveling.

. Sounds are not recorded.These data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstances inwhich crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by yourvehicle only if a nontrivial crash situationoccurs; no data are recorded by the EDRunder normal driving conditions and nopersonal data (e.g. name, gender, age and

crash location) are recorded. However,other parties, such as law enforcement,could combine the EDR data with the typeof personally identifying data routinelyacquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, specialequipment is required and access to thevehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition tothe vehicle manufacturer and INFINITIretailer, other parties, such as law enforce-ment, that have the special equipment, canread the information if they have access tothe vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will onlybe accessed with the consent of the vehicleowner or lessee or as otherwise required orpermitted by law.
