HV37-D-121214-95FAC0B0-3423-4FC1-94F7-D71B47AFD60E

The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®

System combines the power of a gasolineengine and an electric motor to helpminimize fuel consumption and emissions.

Depending on driving conditions, thevehicle runs on a combination of thegasoline engine and the electric motor,whichever is best for those conditions.

Because the gasoline engine charges theLithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, thebattery does not have to be charged froman outside source like an all-electricvehicle.

HV37-D-121214-E35F2EDF-AF65-4808-8D56-AE9DF84C7C73

WARNING

Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium ion(Li-ion) high voltage battery. If the Li-ionbattery is disposed of improperly, there is arisk of severe burns and electrical shockthat may result in serious injury or deathand there is also a risk of environmentaldamage.

CAUTION

. Do not misuse the Li-ion battery.

. Do not use the Li-ion battery for anyother purpose.

The Li-ion battery is used to drive theelectric motors in the INFINITI DirectResponse Hybrid® System.

The Li-ion battery has a limited service life.It is recommended that you contact yourINFINITI retailer for information aboutrecycling or disposal of the battery.

When the vehicle decelerates while thevehicle is driven with the shift lever in the D(Drive) position or in the manual shiftmode, the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery canbe charged by the electric motor. Theelectric motor converts the energy of therotating wheels into electric power underthe following circumstances:

. When the accelerator pedal is released.

. When the brake pedal is depressed.

. When there is no malfunction in thebrake system or the INFINITI DirectResponse Hybrid® System.

The regenerative brake may not workproperly if the vehicle has tires and roadwheels other than the ones specified inthis manual.

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 belt properly.See “Precautions on seat belt usage”(P.1-9).

. 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 thevehicle and/or its systems, do not leavechildren, people who require the assis-tance of others or pets unattended in

your 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 seatback is reclined, therisk of sliding under the lap belt andbeing injured is increased.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be surenot to contact any moving parts to avoidpossible injuries and/or damages.

PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH COM-FORT FUNCTION (front seats) (if soequipped)

HV37-D-121214-8017E748-E53E-4E9A-925C-A78E351F9CDC

The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seatbelt with a motor to help restrain front seatoccupants. This helps reduce the risk ofinjury in a collision.

The motor retracts the seat belt under thefollowing emergency conditions:

. During emergency braking.

. During sudden steering maneuvers.

. Activation of the Forward EmergencyBraking (FEB) system. (See “ForwardEmergency Braking (FEB)” (P.5-105).)

The pre-crash seat belt will not be activewhen:

. The seat belt is not fastened.

. The vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15km/h) during emergency braking.

. The vehicle speed is under 19 MPH (30km/h) during sudden steering maneu-vers.

The pre-crash seat belt will not be activewhen the brake pedal is not depressedexcept when sudden steering maneuversoccur or the FEB system activates.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTHV37-D-121214-18E2371D-E3E1-4A90-845A-3B3AAE7D3142

WARNING

. Every person who drives or rides in thisvehicle should use a seat belt at alltimes.

. 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 andupright in the seat with both feet on thefloor and adjust the seat belt properly.

. Do not allow children to play with theseat belts. Most seating positions areequipped with Automatic Locking Re-tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seatbelt becomes wrapped around a child’sneck with the ALR mode activated, thechild can be seriously injured or killed ifthe seat belt retracts and becomes tight.This can occur even if the vehicle isparked. Unbuckle the seat belt to releasethe child. If the seat belt can not beunbuckled or is already unbuckled,release the child by cutting the seat beltwith a suitable tool (such as a knife orscissors) to release the seat belt.

3. Position the lap belt portion low andsnug on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion towardthe retractor to take up extra slack. Besure the shoulder belt is routed overyour shoulder and across your chest.

The three-point type seat belts have twomodes of operation:

. Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

. Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)mode allows the seat belt to extend andretract to allow the driver and passengerssome freedom of movement in the seat.

The ELR locks the seat belt when thevehicle slows down rapidly or duringimpacts.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)mode (child restraint mode) locks the seatbelt for child restraint installation.

When the ALR mode is activated the seatbelt cannot be extended again until theseat belt tongue is detached from thebuckle and fully retracted. The seat beltreturns to the ELR mode after the seat beltfully retracts. For additional information,see “Child restraints” (P.1-19).

The ALR mode should be used only forchild restraint installation. During normalseat belt use by an occupant, the ALRmode should not be activated. If it isactivated, it may cause uncomfortable seatbelt tension.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be certainthat seatbacks are completely secured inthe latched position. If they are not com-pletely secured, passengers may be injuredin an accident or sudden stop.

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained.

In addition to the general information inthis manual, child safety information isavailable from many other sources, includ-ing doctors, teachers, government trafficsafety offices, and community organiza-tions. Every child is different, so be sure tolearn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of childrestraint systems:

. Rear-facing child restraint

. Forward-facing child restraint

. Booster seatThe proper restraint depends on the child’ssize. Generally, infants up to about 1 yearand less than 20 lbs (9 kg) should beplaced in rear-facing child restraints. For-ward-facing child restraints are availablefor children who outgrow rear-facing childrestraints and are at least 1 year old.Booster seats are used to help position avehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child whocan no longer use a forward-facing childrestraint.

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.

CHILD SAFETY

Condition:

(49,1)


All U.S. states and Canadian provinces orterritories require the use of approvedchild restraints for infants and smallchildren. See “Child restraints” (P.1-19).

A child restraint may be secured in thevehicle by using either the LATCH (LowerAnchor and Tethers for CHildren) system orwith the vehicle seat belt. See “Childrestraints” (P.1-19) for more information.

INFINITI recommends that all pre-teensand children be restrained in the rear seat.Studies show that children are safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seat than inthe 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.1-38).

INFANTSHV37-D-121214-0DC2B248-D00D-4159-9D0A-861233779965

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 that fitsyour vehicle and always follow the manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation anduse.

SMALL CHILDRENHV37-D-121214-C9C54803-16A9-4E13-B935-F06D6F606BF4

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. You should choose achild restraint that fits your vehicle andalways follow the manufacturer’s instruc-tions for installation and use.

LARGER CHILDRENHV37-D-121214-4359DFEB-B409-4DE8-BEF0-9BE3771E94B2

Children should remain in a forward-facingchild restraint with a harness until theyreach the maximum height or weight limitallowed by the child restraint manufac-turer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weightlimit of the harness-equipped forward-facing child restraint, INFINITI recommendsthat the child be placed in a commerciallyavailable booster seat to obtain properseat belt fit. 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 booster seat can only be used in seatingpositions that have a three-point type seatbelt. The booster seat should fit the vehicleseat and have a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Canadian Motor VehicleSafety Standards.


Condition:

(50,1)



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 hipsand 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?

JVR0473X

If you answered no to any of thesequestions, the child should remain in abooster seat using a three-point type seatbelt.

NOTE:

Laws in some communities may followdifferent guidelines. Check local and stateregulations to confirm your child is usingthe correct restraint system before travel-ing.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Condition:

(52,1)



. 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 System (LATCH)” (P.1-21).

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(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.

Forward-facing (front passenger seat) —step 1



Follow these steps to install a forward-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat

belt in the rear seats or in the frontpassenger seat:

1. If you must install a child restraint inthe front seat, it should be placed in aforward-facing direction only. Move theseat to the rearmost position. Childrestraints for infants must be used inthe rear-facing direction and, there-fore, must not be used in the front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat.Always follow the child restraint man-ufacturer’s instructions.

The back of the child restraint shouldbe secured against the vehicle seat-back.

If necessary, adjust or remove the headrestraint or headrest to obtain thecorrect child restraint fit. If the headrestraint or headrest is removed, storeit in a secure place. Be sure to reinstallthe head restraint or headrest whenthe child restraint is removed. See“Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-5) forhead restraint or headrest adjustment,removal and installation information.

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 front passenger supplementalfront-impact air bag is mounted in theinstrument panel above the glove box. The

front air bags are designed to inflate inhigher severity frontal collisions, althoughthey may inflate if the forces in anothertype of collision are similar to those of ahigher severity frontal impact. They maynot inflate in certain frontal collisions.Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not alwaysan indication of proper front air bagoperation.

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System hasdual stage air bag inflators. The systemmonitors information from the crash zonesensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seatbelt buckle switches and the occupantclassification sensors (weight sensors).Inflator operation is based on the severityof a collision and seat belt usage for thedriver. For the front passenger, the occu-pant classification sensors are also mon-itored. Based on information from thesensors, only one front air bag may inflatein a crash, depending on the crash severityand whether the front occupants are beltedor unbelted. Additionally, the front pas-senger air bag may be automatically turnedOFF under some conditions, depending onthe information provided by the occupantclassification sensors. If the front passen-ger air bag is OFF, the front passenger air

bag status light will be illuminated. (See“Front passenger air bag and status light”(P.1-46) for further details.) One front airbag inflating does not indicate improperperformance of the system.

If you have any questions about your airbag system, it is recommended you visit anINFINITI retailer to obtain informationabout the system. If you are consideringmodification of your vehicle due to adisability, you may also contact an INFINITIretailer. Contact information is contained inthe front of this Owner’s Manual.

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 increasethe 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.

The front passenger air bag is designed toautomatically turn OFF when the vehicle isoperated under some conditions as de-scribed below in accordance with U.S.regulations. If the front passenger air bagis OFF, it will not inflate in a crash. Thedriver air bag and other air bags in yourvehicle are not 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. Certain sensors are used tomeet the requirements.

The occupant classification sensor in thisvehicle is a weight sensor. It is designed todetect an occupant and objects on the seat

by weight. For example, if a child is in thefront passenger seat, the Advanced Air BagSystem is designed to turn the passengerair bag OFF in accordance with the regula-tions. Also, if a child restraint of the typespecified in the regulations is on the seat,its weight and the child’s weight can bedetected and cause the air bag to turn OFF.

Front passenger seat adult occupants whoare properly seated and using the seat beltas 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 takes his/her weight off the seatcushion (for example, by not sitting up-right, by sitting on an edge of the seat, orby otherwise being out of position), thiscould cause the sensor to turn the air bagOFF. Always be sure to be seated andwearing the seat belt properly for the mosteffective protection by the seat belt andsupplemental 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 classification

sensor is designed to operate as describedabove to turn the front passenger air bagOFF for specified child restraints as re-quired by the regulations. Failing to prop-erly secure child restraints and to use theALR mode may allow the restraint to tip ormove in a collision or sudden stop. This canalso result in the passenger air baginflating in a crash instead of being OFF.For additional information, refer to “Childrestraints” (P.1-19) for proper use andinstallation.

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’s weightdetected 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 front passenger air bag statuslight, you can monitor when the frontpassenger air bag is automatically turnedOFF.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but thefront passenger air bag status light isilluminated (indicating that the air bag isOFF), it could be that the person is a smalladult, or is not sitting on the seat properlyor not using the seat belt properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the frontseat, the front passenger air bag statuslight may or may not be illuminated,depending on the size of the child andthe type of child restraint being used. If thefront passenger air bag status light is notilluminated (indicating that the air bagmight inflate in a crash), it could be thatthe child restraint or seat belt is not beingused properly. Make sure that the childrestraint is installed properly, the seat beltis used properly and the occupant ispositioned properly. If the front passengerair bag status light is still not illuminated,reposition the occupant or child restraint ina rear seat.

If the front passenger air bag status lightwill not illuminate even though you believethat the child restraint, the seat belts andthe occupant are properly positioned, it isrecommended that you take your vehicle toan INFINITI retailer. An INFINITI retailer cancheck the system status by using a special

tool. However, until you have confirmedwith your retailer that your air bag isworking properly, reposition the occupantor child restraint in a rear seat.

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System andfront passenger air bag status light willtake a few seconds to register a change inthe passenger seat status. For example, if alarge adult who is sitting in the frontpassenger seat exits the vehicle, the frontpassenger air bag status light will go fromOFF to ON for a few seconds and then toOFF. This is normal operation and does notindicate a malfunction.

If a malfunction occurs in the front pas-senger air bag system, the supplementalair bag warning light , located in themeter and gauges area of the instrumentpanel will be illuminated (blinking orsteadily lit).

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG ANDROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-IM-PACT AND ROLLOVER SUPPLEMEN-TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS

HV37-D-130306-6DEEA2BB-CA37-4862-BE7D-9A1C86F723D1

The side air bags are located in the outsideof the seatback of the front seats. Thecurtain air bags are located in the side roofrails. All of the information, cautions andwarnings in this manual apply and must befollowed. The side air bags and curtain airbags are designed to inflate in higherseverity side collisions, although they mayinflate if the forces in another type of

collision are similar to those of a higherseverity impact. They are designed toinflate on the side where the vehicle isimpacted. They may not inflate in certainside collisions.

Curtain air bags are also designed toinflate in certain types of rollover collisionsor near rollovers. As a result, certainvehicle movements (for example, duringsevere off-roading) may cause the curtainair bags to inflate.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not alwaysan indication of proper supplemental sideair bag and curtain side-impact air bagoperation.

When side air bags and curtain air bagsinflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,followed by release of smoke. This smokeis not harmful and does not indicate a fire.Care should be taken not to inhale it, as itmay cause irritation and choking. Thosewith a history of a breathing conditionshould get fresh air promptly.

Side air bags, along with the use of seatbelts, help to cushion the impact force onthe chest of the front occupants. Curtain airbags help to cushion the impact force tothe head of occupants in the front and rearoutboard seating positions in all rows.

They can help save lives and reduceserious injuries. However, an inflating sideair bag or curtain air bag may causeabrasions or other injuries. Side air bagsand curtain air bags do not providerestraint to the lower body.

The seat belts should be correctly worn andthe driver and passenger seated upright asfar as practical away from the side air bag.Rear seat passengers should be seated asfar away as practical from the doorfinishers and side roof rails. The side airbags and curtain air bags inflate quickly inorder to help protect the occupants.Because of this, the force of the side airbags and curtain air bags inflating canincrease the risk of injury if the occupant istoo close to, or is against, these air bagmodules during inflation. The side air bagwill deflate quickly after the collision isover.

The curtain air bag will remain inflated for ashort time.

The side air bags and curtain air bagsoperate only when the ignition switch is inthe ON position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ONposition, the supplemental air bag warn-ing light illuminates. The air bag warninglight will turn off after about 7 seconds ifthe systems are operational.

WARNING

. Do not place any objects near the seat-back of the front seats. Also, do notplace any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.)between the front door finisher and thefront seat. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and cause injury ifside air bag inflates.

. Right after inflation, several side airbags and curtain air bag system compo-nents will be hot. Do not touch them; youmay severely burn yourself.

. No unauthorized changes should bemade to any components or wiring ofside air bag and curtain air bags. This isto prevent damage to or accidentalinflation of the side air bag and curtainair bag systems.

. Do not make unauthorized changes toyour vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-sion system or side panel. This could


Condition:

affect proper operation of the side airbag and curtain air bag systems.

. Tampering with the air bag system mayresult in serious personal injury. Forexample, do not change the front seatsby placing material near the seatback orby installing additional trim material,such as seat covers, around the side airbags.

. It is recommended you visit an INFINITIretailer for work on and around the sideair bag and curtain air bag. It is alsorecommended you visit an INFINITI re-tailer for installation of electrical equip-ment. The Supplemental RestraintSystem (SRS) wiring harnesses* shouldnot be modified or disconnected. Un-authorized electrical test equipment andprobing devices should not be used onthe side-impact air bag system.

* The SRS wiring harness connectorsare yellow and orange for easyidentification.

When selling your vehicle, we request thatyou inform the buyer about the side air bagand curtain air bag systems and guide thebuyer to the appropriate sections in thisOwner’s Manual.

SEAT BELTS WITH PRETENSIONERS(front seats)

HV37-D-130306-FB5B531B-B3DD-4760-AA66-A1D2A79F9F19

WARNING

. The pretensioners cannot be reused afteractivation. They must be replaced to-gether with the retractor and buckle as aunit.

. If the vehicle becomes involved in acollision but a pretensioner is notactivated, be sure to have the preten-sioner system checked and, if necessary,replaced. It is recommended you visit anINFINITI retailer for this service.

. No unauthorized changes should bemade to any components or wiring ofthe pretensioners. This is to preventdamage to or accidental activation ofthe pretensioner system. Tampering withthe pretensioner system may result inserious personal injury.

. It is recommended you visit an INFINITIretailer for work on and around thepretensioner system. It is also recom-mended you visit an INFINITI retailer forinstallation of electrical equipment. Un-authorized electrical test equipment and

probing devices should not be used onthe pretensioner system.

. If you need to dispose of the preten-sioner or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-mended you visit an INFINITI retailer forthis service. Correct pretensioner dispo-sal procedures are set forth in theappropriate INFINITI Service Manual.Incorrect disposal procedures couldcause personal injury.

The pretensioner system may activate withthe supplemental air bag system in certaintypes of collisions. Working with the seatbelt retractor, it helps tighten the seat beltwhen the vehicle becomes involved incertain types of collisions, helping torestrain front seat occupants.

The pretensioner is encased with the seatbelt retractor. These seat belts are used thesame way as conventional seat belts.

When a pretensioner seat belt activates,smoke is released and a loud noise may beheard. The smoke is not harmful, and itdoes not indicate a fire. Care should betaken not to inhale it as it may causeirritation and choking. Those with a historyof a breathing condition should get freshair promptly.

Condition:

(87,1)


After pretensioner activation, load limitersallow the seat belt to release webbing (ifnecessary) to reduce forces against thechest.

The supplemental air bag warning lightis used to indicate malfunctions in thepretensioner system. (See “Supplementalair bag warning light” (P.1-55) for moredetails.) If the operation of the supple-mental air bag warning light indicatesthere is a malfunction, have the systemchecked. It is recommended you visit anINFINITI retailer for this service.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEMHV37-D-130306-B2E64354-87F4-40F9-91AD-DA874CA2A588

The vehicle security system provides visualand audio alarm signals if someone opensthe doors, hood, or trunk lid 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 12-voltbattery. No separate batteries arerequired. If the vehicle’s 12-volt batteryis discharged or is disconnected,HomeLink® will retain all programming.

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.2-63).

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 INFINITI Direct ResponseHybrid® System should be turned offwhile programming the HomeLink® Uni-versal Transceiver. Do not breathe ex-haust gases; they contain colorless andodorless carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-oxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-sciousness or death.

1) Open all the windows.

2) Set the air recirculation mode 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 trunk lid 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.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING ANDDRIVING

Condition:

(201,1)


THREE-WAY CATALYSTHV37-D-130306-7B30066F-F327-4FBC-9926-F97EA49A5335

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.

. Do not stop or park the vehicle overflammable materials such as dry grass,waste paper or rags. They may ignite andcause a fire.

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 fuel

flow 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. It is recommended you visitan INFINITI retailer for this service.

. 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 hybrid system.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-TEM (TPMS)

HV37-D-130306-7446E60A-99AE-4231-B060-531A4A4212AC

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.

If the vehicle is being driven with one ormore flat tires, the low tire pressurewarning light will illuminate continuouslyand a chime will sound for 10 seconds. The“Flat Tire - Visit dealer” warning will alsoappear in the vehicle information display.The chime will only sound at the firstindication of a flat tire, and the warninglight will illuminate continuously.When theflat tire warning is activated, it is recom-mended you have the system reset and thetire checked and replaced if necessary byan INFINITI retailer. Even if the tire isinflated to the specified COLD tire pres-

Condition:

(202,1)



sure, the warning light will continue toilluminate until the system is reset. Yourvehicle can be driven for a limited time on aflat tire. See “Run-flat tires” (P.8-35).

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 informationHV37-D-130306-E2788307-A48C-48C5-80A6-AA66F3015BBF

. 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 “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”warning appears in the vehicle informa-tion display when the low tire pressurewarning light is illuminated and low tirepressure is detected. The “Tire PressureLow - Add Air” warning turns off whenthe low tire pressure warning light

turns off.The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”warning does not appear if the low tirepressure warning light illuminates toindicate a TPMS malfunction.

. The “Flat Tire - Visit dealer” warningappears in the vehicle information dis-play when the low tire pressure warn-ing light is illuminated and one or moreflat tires are detected.

. 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.

. You can also check the pressure of alltires in the vehicle information display.(See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-19).)

. After the ignition switch is placed in theON position, it may take a period of

Condition:

(203,1)


time for the tire pressure to be dis-played while the vehicle is driven.Depending on the radio wave circum-stance, tire pressure may not correctlybe displayed.

For additional information, see “Low tirepressure warning light” (P.2-13) 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 personal

injury. 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 or theTPMSmay be malfunctioning. If no tire isflat and all tires are properly inflated, itis recommended you consult an INFINITIretailer.

. Although you can continue driving with apunctured run-flat tire, remember thatvehicle handling stability is reduced,which could lead to an accident andpersonal injury. Also, driving a longdistance at high speeds may damagethe tires.


. If you detect any unusual sounds orvibrations while driving with a punctured

run-flat tire, pull off the road to a safelocation and stop the vehicle as soon aspossible. The tire may be seriouslydamaged and need to be replaced.

. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS willnot function and the low tire pressurewarning light will flash for approxi-mately 1 minute. The light will remainon after 1 minute. Have your tiresreplaced and/or TPMS system reset assoon as possible. It is recommended youvisit an INFINITI retailer for these ser-vices.


. 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.


Condition:

(204,1)



. 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 pressurewarning 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 is equipped with a wheeland tire without TPMS.

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

. If the wheel is not originally specified byINFINITI.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-OVER

HV37-D-130306-047D32A6-0EE4-4F7F-B9F8-E8B12A40EE94

WARNING

Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe andprudent manner may result in loss of controlor an accident.

Be alert and drive defensively at all times.Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid exces-sive speed, high speed cornering, orsudden steering maneuvers, becausethese driving practices could cause you tolose control of your vehicle. As with anyvehicle, a loss of control could result in acollision with other vehicles or objects, orcause the vehicle to rollover, particularly ifthe loss of control causes the vehicle toslide sideways. 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.1-9) of this

manual, and also instruct your passengersto 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.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERYHV37-D-130306-F5A6BE1D-A9F3-43EF-861B-3D13D68A61FE

If driving the right side or left side wheelsmay unintentionally 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.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Do not apply the brakes.

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

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

5. If there is nothing in the way, steer thevehicle to follow the road while the


Condition:

(206,1)



vehicle speed is reduced. Do notattempt to drive the vehicle back ontothe road surface until vehicle speed isreduced.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turnthe steering wheel until both tiresreturn to the road surface. When alltires are on the road surface, steer thevehicle to stay in the appropriatedriving lane.. If you decide that it is not safe to

return the vehicle to the road surfacebased on vehicle, road or trafficconditions, gradually slow the vehi-cle to a stop in a safe place off theroad.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSSHV37-D-130306-16543328-232A-49F0-A2DA-1929AFAB3A39

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 and

damage. See “Wheels and tires” (P.8-28) ofthis manual.

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.

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 severity

of 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).Don’t drive if your ability to operate yourvehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, orsome other physical condition.

HV37-D-130306-08E06FA9-D35F-46BB-B430-9A69FFC70C4E

WARNING

. Do not drive beyond the performancecapability of the tires, even with Intelli-gent AWD engaged. Accelerating

quickly, sharp steering maneuvers orsudden braking may cause loss ofcontrol.

. 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 off-road(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 toany D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position withthe hybrid system running. Doing somay result in drivetrain damage orunexpected vehicle movement whichcould result in serious vehicle damageor 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 you

inform test facility personnel that yourvehicle is equipped with AWD before it isplaced on a dynamometer. Using thewrong test equipment may result indrivetrain damage or unexpected vehiclemovement which could result in seriousvehicle damage or personal injury.

. When a wheel is off the ground due to anunlevel surface, do not spin the wheelexcessively.

markers for certain roads, weather ordriving conditions.

. Using Active Lane Control under someconditions of road, lane marker or weath-er, or if you attempt to change laneswithout using the lane change signalcould lead to an unexpected systemoperation. In such conditions, you needto correct the vehicle’s direction withyour steering operation to avoid acci-dents.

. Active Lane Control will not operate atspeeds below approximately 45 MPH (70km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers.

. Active Lane Control may not operateproperly and should not be used underthe following conditions:

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

— When driving on slippery roads,such as on ice or snow, etc.

— When driving on winding or unevenroads.

— When there is a lane closure due toroad repairs.

— When driving in a makeshift lane.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-tions for proper use of the BSI system couldresult in serious injury or death.

. The BSI system is not a replacement forproper driving procedures and is notdesigned to prevent contact with vehi-cles or objects. When changing lanes,always use the side and rear mirrors andturn and look in the direction yourvehicle will move to ensure it is safe tochange lanes. Never rely solely on theBSI system.

. There is a limitation to the detectioncapability of the radar. Not every movingobject or vehicle will be detected. Usingthe BSI system under some road,ground, lane marker, traffic or weatherconditions could lead to improper sys-tem operation. Always rely on your ownoperation to avoid accidents.

The BSI system helps alert the driver ofother vehicles in adjacent lanes whenchanging lanes, and helps assist the driverto return the vehicle to the center of thetraveling lane.

The system is intended to enhance theoperation of the vehicle when following avehicle traveling in the same lane anddirection.

If the radar sensor *A detects a slowermoving vehicle ahead, the system willreduce the vehicle speed so that yourvehicle follows the vehicle in front at theselected distance.

The system automatically controls thethrottle and applies the brakes (up toapproximately 40% of vehicle brakingpower) if necessary.

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

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance controlmode operation

HV37-D-130306-C712CA46-F1DA-4C8D-AA1F-94E1C58C147F

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 toapproximately 40% of the vehicle’s totalbraking power. This system should only beused when traffic conditions allow vehiclespeeds to remain fairly constant or whenvehicle speeds change gradually. If avehicle moves into the traveling lane aheador if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidlydecelerates, the distance between vehiclesmay become 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.5-84).

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.

When driving on the freeway at a set speedand approaching a slower traveling vehicleahead, the ICC system will adjust thespeed to maintain the distance, selectedby the driver, from the vehicle ahead. If thevehicle ahead changes lanes or exits thefreeway, the ICC system will accelerate andmaintain the speed up to the set speed.Pay attention to the driving operation tomaintain control of the vehicle as itaccelerates to the set speed.

The vehicle may not maintain the set speedon winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, youwill have to manually control the vehiclespeed.

Normally when controlling the distance to avehicle ahead, this system automaticallyaccelerates or decelerates your vehicleaccording to the speed of the vehicleahead. Depress the accelerator to properlyaccelerate your vehicle when accelerationis required for a lane change. Depress thebrake pedal when deceleration is requiredto maintain a safe distance to the vehicleahead due to its sudden braking or if avehicle cuts in. Always stay alert whenusing the ICC system.

. As there is a performance limit to thedistance control function, never relysolely 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) or

selected vehicle speed under somecircumstances.

. 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 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 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 ICC systemwhen it is not recommended in thissection.

The radar 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 vehicle ahead. Therefore,if the sensor cannot detect the reflectionfrom the vehicle ahead, the ICC systemmay not maintain the selected distance.

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

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

The detection zone of the radar 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

. 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 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 vehicles

using the accelerator pedal. Always stayalert and avoid using the DCA systemwhen it is not recommended in thissection.

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

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

CAUTION

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.

HV37-D-130306-E1459835-666E-4073-BC8E-722F7466CF82

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.

. 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.

Direct Adaptive Steering is designed tocontrol the steering force and steeringangle according to the vehicle speed andamount of turning of the steering wheel.

The steering characteristic can be selectedusing the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector. See“INFINITI Drive Mode Selector” (P.5-22).

If the VDC system is turned off, the settingof steering becomes Standard mode.

If the power steering warning light illumi-nates while the hybrid system is running, itmay indicate that Direct Adaptive Steeringis not functioning properly and may needservicing. It is recommended you have thesystem checked by an INFINITI retailer. (See“Power steering warning light” (P.2-15).)

When the power steering warning lightilluminates with the hybrid system run-ning, the power assist for the steering willcease operation. You will still have controlof the vehicle. However, greater steeringeffort will be needed, especially in sharpturns and at low speeds.

If Direct Adaptive Steering is malfunction-ing, the steering wheel may turn slightlyeven when driving on a straight road.

Under the following conditions, the steer-ing wheel may turn slightly even when

driving on a straight road. This is due to aprotection mechanism for Direct AdaptiveSteering. The steering wheel will return tothe normal position after the protectionmechanism is deactivated.

Condition A

. When the engine is stalled or likely tobe stalled

. When the steering wheel is held in thefull lock position or when the front tiretouches an obstruction.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)HV37-D-121214-AD17D48C-F86A-4373-A36D-8D191DFD4848

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 normal

surfaces 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.

— For detailed information, see“Wheels and tires” (P.8-28) of thismanual.

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.

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 featureHV37-D-121214-9FAB00BB-F2BE-4168-BD75-236754B398C1

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 hybrid system andmove the vehicle at a low speed in forwardor reverse. When the self-test occurs, youmay hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel apulsation in the brake pedal. This is normaland does 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. It is recommended youvisit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Normal operationHV37-D-121214-97EC20E5-32E3-4D14-80B0-197E7EAA54F0

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

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.

. 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 engine ormotor output to reduce drive wheel slipbased on vehicle speed (traction con-trol function).

. Controls brake pressure at individualwheels and engine or motor output tohelp the driver maintain control of thevehicle in the 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,except for rise-up and build-up, and brakeforce distribution, and the VDC warning

light will not flash. The VDC system isautomatically reset to on when the ignitionswitch is placed in the off position thenback to the on 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 INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®

System and move the vehicle forward or inreverse at a slow speed. When the self-testoccurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. Thisis normal and is not an indication of amalfunction.

RISE-UP AND BUILD-UPGUID-B56EA3CB-A00B-469D-9B0F-B8B5D13A3750

The system gradually adjusts brakingpower during normal braking to helpprovide an enhanced brake feel.

BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTIONHV37-D-121214-5B46CABC-FBC6-4BB8-9C50-B12A7A558D2E

During braking while driving through turns,the system optimizes the distribution offorce to each of the four wheels dependingon the radius of the turn.

CAUTION

. Do not use car washes that use acid inthe detergent. Some car washes, espe-cially brushless ones, use some acid forcleaning. The acid may react with someplastic vehicle components, causingthem to crack. This could affect theirappearance, and also could cause themnot to function properly. Always checkwith your car wash to confirm that acid isnot used.

. Do not wash the vehicle with stronghousehold soap, strong chemical deter-gents, gasoline or solvents.

. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sun-light or while the vehicle body is hot, asthe surface may become water-spotted.

. Avoid using tight-napped or roughcloths, such as washing mitts. Care must

be taken when removing caked-on dirt orother foreign substances so the paintsurface is not scratched or damaged.

Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of cleanwater.

Inside flanges, seams and folds on thedoors, hatches and hood are particularlyvulnerable to the effects of road salt.Therefore, these areas must be regularlycleaned. Make sure that the drain holes inthe lower edge of the door are open. Spraywater under the body and in the wheelwells to loosen the dirt and wash awayroad salt.

Avoid leaving water spots on the paintsurface by using a damp chamois to dry thevehicle.

The engine cooling system is filled at thefactory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50%Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-ant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection.The anti-freeze solution contains rust andcorrosion inhibitors. Additional enginecooling system additives are not neces-sary.

WARNING

. Never remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. Wait until the engine andradiator cool down. Serious burns couldbe caused by high pressure fluid escap-ing from the radiator. See precautions in“If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-8) of thismanual.

. The radiator is equipped with a pressuretype radiator cap. To prevent enginedamage, use only a genuine NISSANradiator cap.

CAUTION

. Never use any cooling system additivessuch as radiator sealer. Additives may

clog the cooling system and causedamage to the engine, transmissionand/or cooling system.

. When adding or replacing coolant, besure to use only Genuine NISSAN LongLife Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equiva-lent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted toprovide antifreeze protection to −348F(−378C). If additional freeze protection isneeded due to weather where youoperate your vehicle, add GenuineNISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant(blue) concentrate following the direc-tions on the container. If an equivalentcoolant other than Genuine NISSAN LongLife Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used,follow the coolant manufacture’s instruc-tions to maintain minimum antifreezeprotection to −348F (−378C). The use ofother types of coolant solutions otherthan Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent maydamage the engine cooling system.

. The life expectancy of the factory-fillcoolant is 105,000 miles (168,000 km)or 7 years. Mixing any other type ofcoolant other than Genuine NISSAN LongLife Antifreeze/Coolant (blue), including

Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life ex-pectancy of the factory-fill coolant. Referto the “9. Maintenance and schedules”section of this manual for more details.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS)

HV37-D-130306-ED7310EE-80E6-4118-A2B1-FB086602C102

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 “Tire PressureLow - Add Air” warning appears in thevehicle information display, one or more ofyour tires 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.2-13),“Tire Pressure Mon-itoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5) and “TirePressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-3).

Tire inflation pressureHV37-D-130306-691E0963-E07C-4BA2-A24F-33B6175CC64C

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.

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicatorprovides visual and audible signalsoutside the vehicle for inflating thetires to the recommended COLD tirepressure. (See “TPMS with Tire Infla-

WHEELS AND TIRES

tion Indicator” (P.5-8) about theTPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator.)

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

WARNING

. Improperly inflated tires canfail suddenly and cause anaccident.

. The Gross Vehicle Weight rat-ing (GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label. Thevehicle weight capacity isindicated on the Tire andLoading Information label.Do not load your vehiclebeyond this capacity. Over-loading your vehicle may re-sult in reduced tire life, unsafeoperating conditions due topremature tire failure, or un-favorable handling character-istics and could also lead to a

serious accident. Loading be-yond the specified capacitymay also result in failure ofother vehicle components.

. Before taking a long trip, orwhenever you heavily loadyour vehicle, use a tire pres-sure gauge to ensure that thetire pressures are at the spe-cified level.

. For additional information re-garding tires, refer to “Impor-tant Tire Safety Information”(US) or “Tire Safety Informa-tion” (Canada) in the War-ranty Information Booklet.

TYPES OF TIRESHV37-D-130306-91272F19-8064-4509-BD5E-963B83188AFF

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 exceedthe maximum speed rating of the tire.


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

All season tiresHV37-D-130306-D2BE37EF-6F5A-4B3B-A8FF-5D17656B6523

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 tiresHV37-D-130306-082E6388-1E38-4584-ADDC-A51BCEBABB82

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 snowyor icy conditions, INFINITI recommends the

use of SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires onall four wheels.

Snow tiresHV37-D-130306-1D7E373A-7843-4F1C-947D-6FDB7147C713

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.

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 vehicle

clearance. 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 handlingand 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 puncturedrun-flat tire, as this could damage yourvehicle.

WARNING

. The use of tires other than thoserecommended or the mixed use of tiresof different brands, construction (bias,bias-belted, radial or run-flat), or treadpatterns can adversely affect the ride,braking, handling, ground clearance,body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clear-ance, speedometer calibration, head-light aim and bumper height. Some ofthese effects may lead to accidents andcould result in serious personal injury.

Condition:

(395,1)


. 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 anaccident 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.10-9) ofthis manual for wheel off-set dimen-sions.

. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS willnot function and the low tire pressurewarning light will flash for approxi-mately 1 minute. The light will remainon after 1 minute. Have your tiresreplaced and/or TPMS system reset assoon as possible. It is recommended youvisit an INFINITI retailer for these ser-

vices.


. 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. It isrecommended you contact an INFINITIretailer 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.

FUEL INFORMATIONHV37-D-121214-211E6F22-0004-4026-8B6B-C3E73EA18334

Use unleaded premium gasoline with anoctane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-KnockIndex) number (Research octane number96).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not avail-able, unleaded regular gasoline with anoctane rating of at least 87 AKI number(Research octane number 91) may betemporarily used, but only under thefollowing precautions:

. Have the fuel tank filled only partiallywith unleaded regular gasoline, and fillup with unleaded premium gasoline assoon as possible.

. Avoid full throttle driving and abruptacceleration.

Use unleaded premium gasoline for max-imum vehicle performance.

CAUTION

. Using a fuel other than that specifiedcould adversely affect the emissioncontrol system, and may also affectwarranty coverage.

. 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.

. U.S. government regulations requireethanol dispensing pumps to be identi-fied by a small, square, orange and blacklabel with the common abbreviation orthe appropriate percentage for thatregion.

Gasoline specificationsHV37-D-121214-BC292E95-4B29-40F3-A4C8-1118F7D356C3

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 gasolineHV37-D-121214-B64B223A-737E-40BE-9877-462F149B1795

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 oxygenatesHV37-D-121214-12B5B588-30F9-476F-9B62-34865892BC31

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.

If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline,

Condition:

(423,1)


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 fuelHV37-D-121214-55AA3E5D-B4B7-4387-A6C1-514DB0C16738

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 fuelHV37-D-121214-019B5956-3FF3-4BF6-B50B-B0FD9BE1DD27

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-D74B0B71-76AA-4765-8786-571D7E992D25

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 additivesHV37-D-121214-0241A1D6-50DD-4735-AB1B-1BF6D3FF4840

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 tipsHV37-D-121214-0C94128B-44FC-407D-B5D4-1374AB611F20

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, it is recommended you havean INFINITI retailer correct the condition.Failure to correct the condition is misuse ofthe vehicle, for which INFINITI is notresponsible.

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. It is recommendedyou visit an INFINITI retailer for servicing.

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.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITYHV37-D-130306-5B6F8ADA-8C58-456E-9BB0-D4AE18351679

Do not exceed the load limit of yourvehicle shown as “The combinedweight of occupants and cargo” onthe Tire and Loading Informationlabel. Do not exceed the number ofoccupants shown as “Seating Capa-city” on the Tire and Loading Infor-mation label.

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

HV37-D-130306-435A873C-FE5D-432A-8D43-CF7CBF00D87A

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.

cargo and luggage load capacityof your vehicle.

Before driving a loaded vehicle,confirm that you do not exceed theGross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)or the Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR) for your vehicle. (See “Mea-surement of weights” (P.10-17).)

Also check tires for proper inflationpressures. See the Tire and LoadingInformation label.

LOADING TIPSHV37-D-130306-367C9547-B8F4-40A5-BCE4-39C37DBD2B67

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

. Do not load the front and rear axleto the GAWR. Doing so will exceedthe GVWR.

WARNING

. Properly secure all cargo tohelp prevent it from sliding orshifting. Do not place cargo

higher than the seatbacks. Ina sudden stop or collision,unsecured cargo could causepersonal injury.

. Do not load your vehicle anyheavier than the GVWR or themaximum front and rearGAWRs. If you do, parts ofyour vehicle can break, tiredamage could occur, or it canchange the way your vehiclehandles. This could result inloss of control and causepersonal injury.

. Overloading could not onlyshorten the life of your vehi-cle and the tires, but alsocould lead to hazardous vehi-cle handling and long brakingdistance. This may cause apremature tire malfunction,which could result in a seriousaccident and personal injury.Failures caused by overload-ing are not covered by the

vehicle’s warranty.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTSHV37-D-130306-626A0DEF-CEAF-4B2B-B914-1CD2D9E7382E

Secure loose items to prevent weightshifts that could affect the balance ofyour vehicle. When the vehicle isloaded, drive to a scale and weighthe front and the rear wheels sepa-rately to determine axle loads. In-dividual axle loads should notexceed either of the gross axleweight ratings (GAWR). The total ofthe axle loads should not exceed thegross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).These ratings are given on thevehicle certification label. If weightratings are exceeded, move or re-move items to bring all weightsbelow the ratings.

Do not tow a trailer with yourvehicle.

FLAT TOWINGHV37-D-130306-4BE369F8-85AF-4E5B-BCE0-25BA91776960

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels onthe ground is sometimes called flat towing.This method is sometimes used whentowing a vehicle behind a recreationalvehicle, such as a motor home.

CAUTION

. Failure to follow these guidelines canresult in severe transmission damage.

. Whenever flat towing your vehicle, al-ways tow forward, never backward.

. DO NOT tow any Automatic Transmission(AT) vehicle with all four wheels on theground (flat towing). Doing so WILLDAMAGE internal transmission partsdue to lack of transmission lubrication.

. DO NOT tow any All-Wheel Drive (AWD)vehicle with any of the wheels on theground. Doing so may cause serious andexpensive damage to the powertrain.

. For emergency towing procedures referto “Towing recommended by INFINITI”(P.6-10).

Automatic Transmission (AT)HV37-D-130306-91431205-A8B6-4757-8B7E-FE93E672CD0D

DOT (Department Of Transportation) Qual-ity Grades: All passenger car tires mustconform to federal safety requirements inaddition to these grades.

Quality grades can be found where applic-able on the tire sidewall between treadshoulder and maximum section width. Forexample:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEARHV37-D-130306-06C0EFD4-1C2A-4B83-84AD-0520C1DA8585

The treadwear grade is a comparativerating based on the wear rate of the tirewhen tested under controlled conditionson a specified government test course. Forexample, a tire graded 150 would wear oneand one-half (1 1/2) times as well on thegovernment course as a tire graded 100.The relative performance of tires dependsupon actual conditions of their use, how-ever, and may depart significantly from thenorm due to variations in driving habits,service practices and differences in roadcharacteristics and climate.

(437,1)


TRACTION AA, A, B AND CHV37-D-130306-5CED13CD-47A5-4914-A469-E7A48CECA48B

The traction grades, from highest to low-est, are AA, A, B and C. Those gradesrepresent the tire’s ability to stop on wetpavement as measured under controlledconditions on specified government testsurfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tiremarked C may have poor traction perfor-mance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire isbased on straight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not include acceleration,cornering, hydroplaning, or peak tractioncharacteristics.

TEMPERATURE A, B AND CHV37-D-130306-76F4F130-CFBB-4D14-A56A-6BF438170741

The temperature grades A (the highest), B,and C, representing the tire’s resistance tothe generation of heat and its ability todissipate heat when tested under con-trolled conditions on a specified indoorlaboratory test wheel. Sustained hightemperature can cause the material of thetire to degenerate and reduce tire life, andexcessive temperature can lead to sudden

tire failure. The grade C corresponds to alevel of performance which all passengercar tires must meet under the FederalMotor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.Grades B and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory test wheelthan the minimum required by law.

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire isestablished for a tire that is properlyinflated and not overloaded. Excessivespeed, under-inflation, or excessive loading,either separately or in combination, cancause heat build-up and possible tire failure.

WARNING

A vehicle equipped with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) should never be testedusing a two wheel dynamometer (such asthe dynamometers used by some states foremissions testing), or similar equipment.Make sure you inform test facility personnelthat your vehicle is equipped with AWDbefore it is placed on a dynamometer. Usingthe wrong test equipment may result intransmission damage or unexpected vehiclemovement which could result in seriousvehicle damage or personal injury.

Due to legal requirements in some states/areas, your vehicle may be required to bein what is called the “ready condition” foran Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test ofthe 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 12-volt battery is discon-nected, the vehicle may be reset to a “not

ready condition”. Before taking the I/Mtest, check the vehicle’s inspection/main-tenance 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”.

It is recommended you visit an INFINITIretailer to set the “ready condition” or toprepare the vehicle for 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.

INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System(front seats)

WARNING

To ensure proper operation of the passen-ger’s INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System,please observe the following items.

● Do not allow a passenger in the rearseat to push or pull on the seatbackpocket.

● Do not place heavy loads heavier than9.1 lbs (4 kg) on the seatback, headrestraint/headrest or in the seatbackpocket.

● Make sure that there is nothing press-ing against the rear of the seatback,such as a child restraint installed in therear seat or an object stored on thefloor.

● Make sure that there is no object placedunder the front passenger seat.

● Make sure that there is no object placedbetween the seat cushion and the cen-ter console or between the seat cushionand the door.

● Make sure that the front passenger seatdoes not contact the instrument paneland the head restraint/headrest doesnot contact the roof.

● If a forward-facing child restraint is in-stalled in the front passenger seat, donot position the front passenger seat sothe child restraint contacts the instru-ment panel. If the child restraint doescontact the instrument panel, the sys-tem may determine the seat is occupiedand the passenger air bag may deployin a collision. Also the front passengerair bag status light may not illuminate.For additional information about in-stalling and using child restraints, referto “Child restraints” in this section.

● Confirm the operating condition withthe front passenger air bag status light.

● If you notice that the front passenger airbag status light is not operating as de-scribed in this section, it is recom-mended that you visit an INFINITI re-tailer to check the occupantclassification system.

● Until you have confirmed with a retailerthat your passenger seat occupant clas-sification system is working properly,position the occupants in the rear seat-ing positions.

● Do not position the front passengerseat so it contacts the rear seat. If thefront seat does contact the rear seat,the air bag system may determine asensor malfunction has occurred andthe front passenger air bag status lightmay illuminate and the supplementalair bag warning light may flash.

This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI Ad-vanced Air Bag System for the driver and frontpassenger seats. This system is designed tomeet certification requirements under U.S. regu-lations. It is also permitted in Canada. All of theinformation, cautions and warnings in thismanual still apply and must be followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact air bag islocated in the center of the steering wheel. Thefront passenger supplemental front-impact airbag is mounted in the dashboard above the glovebox. The front air bags are designed to inflate inhigher severity frontal collisions, although theymay inflate if the forces in another type of collisionare similar to those of a higher severity frontalimpact. They may not inflate in certain frontal

collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is notalways an indication of proper front air bag sys-tem operation.

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System monitorsinformation from the crash zone sensor, the Airbag Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle sensorand occupant classification sensor (weight sen-sor). Inflator operation is based on the severity ofa collision and seat belt usage for the driver. Forthe front passenger, the occupant classificationsensor is also monitored. Based on informationfrom the sensor, only one front air bag may inflatein a crash, depending on the crash severity andwhether the front occupants are belted or un-belted. Additionally, the front passenger air bagmay be automatically turned off under some con-ditions, depending on the weight detected on thepassenger seat and how the seat belt is used. Ifthe front passenger air bag is OFF, the frontpassenger air bag status light will be illuminated.For additional information, refer to “Front passen-ger air bag and status light” in this section. Onefront air bag inflating does not indicate improperperformance of the system.

If you have any questions about your air bagsystem, it is recommended that you visit anINFINITI retailer to obtain information about thesystem. If you are considering modification ofyour vehicle due to a disability, you may also

contact INFINITI. Contact information is con-tained in the front of this Owner’s Manual.

When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noisemay be heard, followed by the release of smoke.This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate afire. Care should be taken to not inhale it, as it maycause irritation and choking. Those with a historyof a breathing condition should get fresh airpromptly.

Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,help to cushion the impact force on the face andchest of the front occupants. They can help savelives and reduce serious injuries. However, aninflating front air bag may cause facial abrasionsor other injuries. Front air bags do not providerestraint to the lower body.

Even with INFINITI Advanced Air Bags, seat beltsshould be correctly worn and the driver and pas-senger seated upright as far as practical awayfrom the steering wheel or instrument panel. Thefront air bags inflate quickly in order to helpprotect the front occupants. Because of this, theforce of the front air bag inflating can increase therisk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or isagainst, the front air bag module during inflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.

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

After placing the ignition switch in the ONposition, the supplemental air bag warninglight illuminates. The supplemental air bagwarning light will turn off after about 7 sec-onds if the system is operational.

Front passenger air bag and status light

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,seat belt and child restraints is necessaryfor most effective protection. Failure tofollow all instructions in this manual con-cerning the use of seats, seat belts andchild restraints can increase the risk orseverity of injury in an accident.

Status light

The front passenger seat is equipped with anoccupant classification sensor (weight sensor)that turns the front passenger air bag on or offdepending on the weight applied to the frontpassenger seat. The status of the front passen-ger air bag (ON or OFF) is indicated by the frontpassenger air bag status light which islocated on the instrument panel.After the ignition switch is placed in the �ON�position, the front passenger air bag status lighton the instrument panel illuminates for about7 seconds and then turns off or remains illumi-nated depending on the front passenger seatoccupied status. The light operates as follows:

CONDITION DESCRIPTIONPASSENGER AIR BAG INDI-

CATOR LIGHT ( )FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS

Empty Empty front passenger seat ON (illuminated) INHIBITED

Nobody/SomebodyBag or Child or Child Restraint or Small

Adult in front passenger seatON (illuminated) INHIBITED

Adult Adult in the front passenger seat OFF (dark) ACTIVATED

In addition to the above, certain objects placedon the front passenger seat may also cause thelight to operate as described above dependingon their weight.

For additional information related to the normaloperation and troubleshooting of this occupant

classification sensor system, please refer to“Normal operation” and “Troubleshooting” in thissection.

Front passenger air bag

The front passenger air bag is designed to auto-matically turn OFF when the vehicle is operated

under some conditions as described below inaccordance with U.S. regulations. If the frontpassenger air bag is OFF, it will not inflate in acrash. The driver air bag and other air bags in yourvehicle are not part of this system.

LRS2873

SchulzH

Rectangle

The purpose of the regulation is to help reducethe risk of injury or death from an inflating air bagto certain front passenger seat occupants, suchas children, by requiring the air bag to be auto-matically turned OFF. Certain sensors are used tomeet the requirements.

The occupant classification sensor in this vehicleis a weight sensor. It is designed to detect anoccupant and objects on the seat by weight. Forexample, if a child is in the front passenger seat,the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System is de-signed to turn the front passenger air bag OFF inaccordance with the regulations. Also, if a childrestraint of the type specified in the regulations ison the seat, its weight and the child’s weight canbe detected and cause the air bag to turn OFF.

Front passenger seat adult occupants who areproperly seated and using the seat belt as out-lined in this manual should not cause the frontpassenger air bag to be automatically turnedOFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF,however if the occupant takes his/her weight offthe seat cushion (for example, by not sitting up-right, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or byotherwise being out of position), this could causethe sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always besure to be seated and wearing the seat beltproperly for the most effective protection by theseat belt and supplemental air bag.

INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and chil-dren be properly restrained in a rear seat.INFINITI also recommends that appropriate childrestraints and booster seats be properly installedin a rear seat. If this is not possible, the occupantclassification sensor is designed to operate asdescribed above to turn the front passenger airbag OFF for specified child restraints as requiredby the regulations. Failing to properly securechild restraints and to use the ALR mode mayallow the restraint to tip or move in a collision orsudden stop. This can also result in the passen-ger air bag inflating in a crash instead of beingOFF. For additional information about proper useand installation, refer to “Child restraints” in thissection.

If the front passenger seat is not occupied, thefront passenger air bag is designed not to inflatein a crash. However, heavy objects placed on theseat could result in air bag inflation, because ofthe object’s weight detected by the occupantclassification sensor. Other conditions could alsoresult in air bag inflation, such as if a child isstanding on the seat, or if two children are on theseat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupantsare seated and restrained properly.

Using the front passenger air bag status light, youcan monitor when the front passenger air bag isautomatically turned OFF.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but the frontpassenger air bag status light is illuminated (indi-cating that the air bag is OFF), it could be that theperson is a small adult, or is not sitting on the seatproperly or not using the seat belt properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,the front passenger air bag status light may ormay not be illuminated, depending on the size ofthe child and the type of child restraint beingused. If the air bag status light is not illuminated(indicating that the air bag might inflate in acrash), it could be that the child restraint or seatbelt is not being used properly. Make sure thatthe child restraint is installed properly, the seatbelt is used properly and the occupant is posi-tioned properly. If the air bag status light is still notilluminated, reposition the occupant or child re-straint in a rear seat.

If the front passenger air bag status light will notilluminate even though you believe that the childrestraint, the seat belts and the occupant areproperly positioned, it is recommended that youtake your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer. AnINFINITI retailer can check system status by us-ing a special tool. However, until you have con-firmed with a retailer that your air bag is workingproperly, reposition the occupant or child re-straint in a rear seat.

SchulzH

Rectangle

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System and frontpassenger air bag status light will take a fewseconds to register a change in the front passen-ger seat status. This is normal system operationand does not indicate a malfunction.

If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger airbag system, the supplemental air bag warninglight , located in the meter and gauges areaof the instrument panel, will be illuminated (blink-ing or steadily lit). Have the system checked. It isrecommended that you visit an INFINITI retailerfor this service.

Normal operationIn order for the occupant classification sensorsystem to classify the front passenger based onweight, please follow the precautions and stepsoutlined below:

Precautions

● Make sure that there are no objects weigh-ing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg) hanging on the seat orplaced in the seatback pocket.

● Make sure that a child restraint or otherobject is not pressing against the rear of theseatback.

● Make sure that a rear passenger is not push-ing or pulling on the back of the front pas-senger seat.

● Make sure that the front passenger seat orseatback is not forced back against an ob-ject on the seat or floor behind it.

● Make sure that there is no object placedunder the front passenger seat.

● Make sure that the front passenger seathead restraint/headrest does not contactthe roof when adjusting the front passengerseat.

Steps

1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats”section of this manual. Sit upright, leaningagainst the seatback, and centered on theseat cushion with your feet comfortably ex-tended to the floor.

2. Make sure there are no objects on your lap.

3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the “Seatbelts” section of this manual. Front passen-ger seat belt buckle status is monitored bythe occupant classification system, and isused as an input to determine occupancystatus. So, it is highly recommended that thefront passenger fasten their seat belt.

4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds al-lowing the system to classify the front pas-senger before the vehicle is put into motion.

5. Ensure proper classification by checking thefront passenger air bag status light.

NOTE:

This vehicle’s occupant classification sen-sor system generally keeps the classifica-tion locked during driving, so it is importantthat you confirm that the front passenger isproperly classified prior to driving. How-ever, the occupant classification sensormay recalculate the weight of the occupantunder some conditions (both while drivingand when stopped), so front passengerseat occupants should continue to remainseated as outlined above.

Troubleshooting

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

1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying thefront passenger seat:

● Occupant is a small adult — the air bag lightis functioning as intended. The front passen-ger air bag is suppressed.

SchulzH

Rectangle

However, if the occupant is not a small adult, thenthis may be due to the following conditions thatmay be interfering with the weight sensors:

● Occupant is not sitting upright, leaningagainst the seatback, and centered on theseat cushion with his/her feet comfortablyextended to the floor.

● A child restraint or other object pressingagainst the rear of the seatback.

● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on theback of the front passenger seat.

● Forcing the front seat or seatback against anobject on the seat or floor behind it.

● An object placed under the front passengerseat.

● An object placed between the seat cushionand center console or between the seatcushion and the door.

● The front passenger seat headrestraint/headrest contacting the roof.

If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stopwhen it is safe to do so. Check and correct any ofthe above conditions. Restart the vehicle andwait 1 minute.

NOTE:
