ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 220 lb (100 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.

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.

● 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

controls” section.)
To open the window, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for
longer than

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 window, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the front of the vehicle for longer
than 1 second . The door is locked and the
