OPERATING THE RETRACTABLE HARD
TOP USING THE INTELLIGENT KEY
The retractable hard top can be opened using
the request switch. This operation cannot close
the retractable hard top.
Opening the retractable hard top
Carry the Intelligent Key with you. Push the door
handle request switch (driver’s or passenger’s)
Aand hold it until the retractable hard top is
fully open.
INITIALIZING OF THE RETRACTABLE
HARD TOP
After replacing the battery or when repeating
open and close operations without fully open-
ing or closing the retractable hard top, the
retractable hard top may not operate normally.
If this situation occurs, perform initialization of
the retractable hard top according to the follow-
ing procedures.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the OPEN side of the retractable
hard top operating switch and hold it.
3. Release the OPEN side of the retractable hard top operating switch when the beep
sounds once. The initialization of the re-
tractable hard top is complete.
If the beep sounds twice when releasing the
OPEN side of the retractable hard top operating
switch during the initialization, repeat the pro-
cedures from step 2.
CAUTION
After the initialization, if the retractable hard
top does not operate normally, immediately
contact INFINITI retailer for an inspection. NOTE:
The following functions do not operate normally
when the initialization of the retractable hard
top is not complete.
– The retractable hard top does not open or
close when pushing the OPEN side of the re-
tractable hard top operating switch. (Only the
rear parcel shelf operates.)
– The retractable hard top indicator does not appear on the dot matrix liquid crystal dis-
play.
– The air conditioner airflow is fixed at the level when the retractable hard top is being closed.
– The audio volume is fixed at the level when the retractable hard top is being closed.
– For the models with the navigation system, the Voice Recognition function (VR) is not op-
erative.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-25
Cancel or activate seat
synchronization function
For Automatic Transmission models:
The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
For Manual Transmission models:
The parking brake must be applied with the
ignition switch in the ACC position.
The seat synchronization function can be acti-
vated or canceled by pushing and holding the
SET switch for more than 10 seconds while the
ignition switch is in the ACC position.
The indicator lights on the memory switches (1
and 2) will blink once when the function is
canceled, and the indicator lights will blink
twice when the function is activated. Note that
the indicator lights may illuminate after 5 sec-
onds while holding the SET switch. This indi-
cates readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to
a stored memory position. Keep the SET switch
pushed for more than 10 seconds to turn on or
off the seat synchronization function.
MEMORY STORAGE
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored in the
automatic drive positioner memory. Follow
these procedures to use the memory system.
1.Automatic transmission models:
Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.
Manual transmission models:
Apply the parking brake.
2. Raise the seatback.
3. Push the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion.
4. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column and outside mirrors to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each adjust-
ing switch. For additional information, see
“SEATS” in the “1. Safety — Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system”
section and “TILT/TELESCOPIC STEERING”
page 3-33 and “OUTSIDE MIRRORS” ear-
lier in this section. 5. Push the SET switch and, within 5 sec-
onds, push the memory switch (1 or 2)
fully for at least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will stay on for approximately 5 sec-
onds after pushing the switch.
If memory is stored in the same memory
switch, the previous memory will be deleted.
Linking Intelligent Key to a stored
memory position
The Intelligent Key can be linked to a stored
memory position with the following procedure.
1. Follow the steps for storing a memoryposition.
2. While the indicator light for the memory switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
onds, push the
button on the Intel-
ligent Key. If the indicator light blinks, the
Intelligent Key is linked to that memory
setting.
Push the ignition switch to the OFF position,
and then push thebutton on the Intelli-
gent Key. The driver’s seat, steering wheel and
outside mirrors will move to the memorized
position.
3-38Pre-driving checks and adjustments
Confirming memory storage
●Push the ignition switch to the ON position
and push the SET switch. If the main memory
has not been stored, the indicator light will
come on for approximately 0.5 second.
When the memory has stored in position, the
indicator light will stay on for approximately
5 seconds.
● If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the memory will be canceled. In
this case, reset the desired position using
the previous procedure.
● If optional Intelligent Keys are added to your
vehicle, the memory storage procedure to
switch 1 or 2 and linking Intelligent Key
procedure to a stored memory position
should be performed again for each Intelli-
gent Key. For additional Intelligent Key infor-
mation, see “KEYS” earlier in this section.
Selecting the memorized position
1. Automatic transmission models:
Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.
Manual transmission models:
Apply the parking brake.
2. Raise the seatback.
3. Use one of the following methods to move
the driver’s seat, the outside mirrors and
the steering wheel.
●Push the ignition switch to the ON position
and push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for
at least 1 second.
● Within 45 seconds of opening the driver’s
door, push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully
for at least 1 second.
The driver’s seat, steering column and out-
side mirrors will move to the memorized
position with the indicator light flashing,
and then the light will stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
For manual transmission models, the memory
positions can be selected even when the engine
is running. In this case, move the shift lever to
the N (Neutral) position and apply the parking
brake. Then, perform step 2.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions:
● When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h).
● When the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat and steering column is turned on while
the automatic drive positioner is operating.
● When the memory switch 1 or 2 is not
pushed for at least 1 second.
● When the seat, steering column and outside
mirrors have already been moved to the
memorized position.
● When no position is stored in the memory
switch.
● When the parking brake is released (MT
models).
● When the speed is above 4 MPH (7 km/h)
while the parking brake is applied (MT mod-
els).
To restart the drive positioner system, move
the parking brake to off and on.
● When the engine is started while moving the
automatic drive positioner.
