2010 INFINITI FX warning

The rear cargo cover1can be removed from
the lift gate.
To remove the rear cargo cover, open the lift
gate then remove the clips
2with a suitable
tool.
WARNING
● Never put anything on the cargo cover, no
matter how small. Any object on it could
cause an injury in an accident or sudden
stop.
● Do not leave the cargo cover in the vehicle
with it disengaged from the holder. ●
Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. Do not place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal injury.
● If the cargo cover contacts the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top tether
anchor, remove the cargo cover from the ve-
hicle or secure it on the cargo floor below its
attachment location. If the cargo cover is not
removed, it may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. Your child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision if the
child restraint top tether strap is damaged.
● Do not allow cargo to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top tether
anchor. Properly secure the cargo so it does
not contact the top tether strap. Cargo that is
not properly secured or cargo that contacts
the top tether strap may damage the top
tether strap during a collision. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a colli-
sion if the child restraint top tether strap is
damaged.
● Do not leave the cargo cover in the vehicle
with the rear half of the flap folded up while
driving. You may not be able to see out the
rear window, which may cause an accident. ●
Do not use the cargo cover if the rear seats
are folded down.

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 99 lb (45 kg) on the
roof rails. Observe the maximum load limit
shown on the crossbars or roof carriers when
you attach them on the roof rails. Contact an
INFINITI retailer for crossbar or other equipment
information.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). The
GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S.
or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (located on the
driver’s door pillar). For more information re-
garding GVWR and GAWR, see “VEHICLE LOAD-ING INFORMATION” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section.
WARNING
●
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying capac-
ity, especially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the roof rack.
● Heavy loading of the roof rack has the poten-
tial to affect the vehicle stability and han-
dling during sudden or unusual handling
maneuvers.
● Roof rack load should be evenly distributed.
● Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing items from
the roof rack. If you cannot comfortably lift the
items onto the roof rack from the ground, use a
ladder or stool.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
● Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in
motion and before closing the windows. Use
the window lock switch to prevent unex-
pected use of the power windows.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and become trapped in
the window. Unattended children could be-
come involved in serious accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for about 45
seconds after the ignition switch is pushed to
the OFF position. If the driver’s or front passen-
ger’s door is opened during this period of about
45 seconds, power to the windows is canceled.

When the switch is in the DOOR positionA, the
light illuminates while the lift gate is opened.
When the lift gate is closed, the light will turn
off.
When the switch is in the OFF position
B, the
light will turn off.
The light will turn off after 30 minutes when the
lights remain illuminated to prevent the battery
from becoming discharged. HomeLink
Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters
into one built-in device.
HomeLink Universal Transceiver:
● Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) de-
vices such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
● Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink will retain all program-
ming.
Once HomeLink Universal Transceiver is pro-
grammed, retain the original transmitter for fu-
ture programming procedures (Example: new ve-
hicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver
buttons should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, see “PROGRAMMING
HomeLink” later in this section.
WARNING
● Do not use HomeLink Universal Transceiver
with any garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features as required
by federal safety standards. (These stan-
dards became effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot detect an object in
the path of a closing garage door and then
automatically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety standards. Using
a garage door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury or death.
● During programming procedure, your garage
door or security gate may open or close.
Make sure that people and objects are clear
of the garage door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.
● Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off
while programming HomeLink Universal
Transceiver.

WARNING
●Always have the doors locked while driving.
Along with the use of seat belts, this pro-
vides greater safety in the event of an acci-
dent by helping to prevent persons from be-
ing thrown from the vehicle. This also helps
keep children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help keep
out intruders.
● Before opening any door, always look for and
avoid oncoming traffic.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors simultaneously using the
mechanical key.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder to the
front of the vehicle
1will lock all doors.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder once
to the rear of the vehicle
2will unlock the
driver’s door. After returning the key to the
neutral position
3, turning it to the rear
again within 60 seconds will unlock all
doors.
● You can switch the lock system to the mode
that allows you to open all the doors when
the key is turned once. (See “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, cli-
mate, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY
The driver’s door key operation also allows you
to open and close all door windows.
To open the windows, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for
longer than
1 second . The door is unlocked and the window
keeps opening while turning the key.
This function can also be performed by pushing
and holding the door UNLOCK button of the
Intelligent Key. (See “REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM” later in this section.)
To close the windows, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the front of the vehicle for longer
than 1 second . The door is locked and the
window keeps closing while turning the key.

3. Within 20 seconds of performing Step #2,push and hold the power door lock switch
to the
position (UNLOCK) for more
than 5 seconds.
4. When activated, the hazard indicator will flash twice. When deactivated, the hazard
indicator will flash once.
5. The ignition switch must be placed in the OFF and ON position again between each
setting change.
When the automatic door unlock system is
deactivated, the doors do not unlock when the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position
(models with Intelligent Key system) or when
the key is removed from the ignition switch
(models without Intelligent Key system). To
unlock the door manually, use the inside lock
knob or the power door lock switch (driver’s or
front passenger’s side).
CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK
Child safety rear door locks help prevent doors
from being opened accidentally, especially
when small children are in the vehicle.
When the levers are in the lock position
1, the
rear doors can be opened only from the outside.
To disengage, move the levers to the unlock
position
2.
WARNING
● Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use.
● The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves
when the buttons are pushed. The FAA ad-
vises that the radio waves may affect aircraft
navigation and communication systems. Do
not operate the Intelligent Key while on an
airplane. Make sure the buttons are not op-
erated unintentionally when the unit is
stored during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote controller function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or con-
ditions may affect the Intelligent Key system
operation.
