2. Menu Selections:
Shows the options to choose within that
menu screen. (i.e. Auto Interior Illumination,
etc.)
3. UP/DOWN Movement indicator:
Shows that the INFINITI controller may be
used to move UP/DOWN on the screen and
select more options.
4. Screen Count:
Shows the number of menu selections avail-
able for that screen (i.e. 1/9).
5. Footer/Information Line:
Provides more information (if available)
about the menu selection currently high-
lighted. (i.e.
Cabin lighting when un-
locking doors.)
HOW TO USE STATUS BUTTON
To display the status of the audio, climate
control system, fuel consumption and naviga-
tion system (if so equipped), push the STATUS

Fuel Economy information
The distance to empty, average fuel economy
and current fuel economy (shown on the right
side bar) will be displayed for reference.
To reset the Average Fuel Economy, use the
INFINITI controller to highlight the ªResetº key
and push the ENTERbutton.
If the ª Viewº key is highlighted with the
INFINITI controller and the ENTERbutton is
pushed, the average fuel consumption history
will be displayed in graph form along with the
average for the previous Reset-to-Reset period.
The unit can be converted between ªUSº and
ªMetricº. (See ªHOW TO USE SETTING BUTTONº
later in this section.)
For models without the navigation system, the
information can be displayed by pushing the
FUEL ECON button on the control panel.
Tire Pressure information
The tire pressure will be displayed for refer-
ence.
The pressure indication ª** psiº on the screen
means that the tire pressure is being measured.
After a few driving trips, the pressure for each
tire will be displayed.
In case of low tire pressure, LOW PRESSURE
information will be displayed on the screen.
Check the pressure for all tires.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the
heat caused by the vehicle's traveling condition
and the temperature.

cIf a methanol blend is used, it should contain
no more than 5% methanol (methyl alcohol,
wood alcohol). It should also contain a suit-
able amount of appropriate cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors. If not properly formu-
lated with appropriate cosolvents and corro-
sion inhibitors, such methanol blends may
cause fuel system damage and/or vehicle
performance problems. At this time, suffi-
cient data is not available to ensure that all
methanol blends are suitable for use in
INFINITI vehicles.
If any driveability problems such as engine
stalling and difficult hot-starting are experi-
enced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, imme-
diately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel
with a low blend of MTBE.
Take care not to spill gasoline during refueling.
Gasoline containing oxygenates can cause paint
damage.
E-85 fuel
E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel
ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can
only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do
not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. U.S. govern-
ment regulations require fuel ethanol dispens-
ing pumps to be identified by a small, square, orange and black label with the common abbre-
viation or the appropriate percentage for that
region.
Aftermarket fuel additives
INFINITI does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel
injector cleaner, octane booster, intake valve
deposit removers, etc.) which are sold commer-
cially. Many of these additives intended for
gum, varnish or deposit removal may contain
active solvent or similar ingredients that can be
harmful to the fuel system and engine.
Octane rating tips
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
lower than recommended can cause persistent,
heavy ªspark knockº. (Spark knock is a metallic
rapping noise.) If severe, this can lead to engine
damage. If you detect a persistent heavy spark
knock even when using gasoline of the stated
octane rating, or if you hear steady spark knock
while holding a steady speed on level roads,
have an INFINITI retailer correct the condition.
Failure to correct the condition is misuse of the
vehicle, for which INFINITI is not responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in spark
knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may
cause excessive fuel consumption or enginedamage. If any of the above symptoms are
encountered, have your vehicle checked at an
INFINITI retailer.
However, now and then you may notice light
spark knock for a short time while accelerating
or driving up hills. This is not a cause for con-
cern, because you get the greatest fuel benefit
when there is light spark knock for a short time
under heavy engine load.
CAUTION
c
Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85
fuel. Using E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifi-
cally designed for E-85 fuel can damage fuel
system components and is not covered by
the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
c E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel
ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
c U.S. government regulations require ethanol
dispensing pumps to be identified by a
small, square, orange and black label with
the common abbreviation or the appropriate
percentage for that region.
