TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If the retractable hard top stops halfway during operation or does not operate normally, follow the procedures shown in the following table. If the
procedures in the following table do not solve the symptom, immediately contact INFINITI retailer for the inspection.
SymptomBeepPossible cause Possible solution
The OPEN side of the retractable hard
top operating switch is pushed, but
the retractable hard top does not
operate. Sounds twice
The OPEN side of the retractable hard top op-
erating switch is pushed while the retractable
hard top is fully open, or the CLOSE side of
the retractable hard top operating switch is
pushed while the retractable hard top is fully
closed. Push the CLOSE side of the retractable hard top
operating switch when the retractable hard top
is fully open. Push the OPEN side of the retract-
able hard top operating switch when the re-
tractable hard top is fully closed.
Sounds twice The selector lever (automatic transmission
models only) or the shift lever (manual trans-
mission models only) is in the R (Reverse)
position. Shift the selector lever (automatic transmission
models only) to the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position, or shift the shift lever (manual trans-
mission model only) to the N (Neutral) position,
and then operate the retractable hard top.
Sounds twice The trunk lid is opened. Fully close the trunk lid.
Does not sound The battery voltage is low. Start the engine again and operate the retract-
able hard top.
Sounds twice The separator in the trunk room is not cor-
rectly set. Set the separator correctly. For details, refer to
“Separator” earlier in this section.
Does not sound The retractable hard top is in the deactivation mode in order to avoid motor overheating by
the continuous operation of the retractable
hard top. Wait for approximately 20 minutes without op-
erating the retractable hard top and then oper-
ate the retractable hard top.
3-26Pre-driving checks and adjustments

The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:
●Seat synchronization function
● Memory storage
SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION
The seat synchronization function automatically
adjusts the positions of the steering wheel and
outside mirrors when the seat is adjusted using
the power seat switches.
However, the steering wheel and outside mir-
rors will not move if the seat is adjusted over
the maximum thresholds. The system considers
that the steering wheel and outside mirror
adjustments are not necessary because the
seat may not be adjusted for the driving posi-
tion. Note that the function is set to disabled as
the factory default setting. The seat synchronization function operates un-
der the following conditions:
●
The ignition switch is in the ON position.
● The selector lever is in the P (Park) position
(Automatic Transmission models) or the
parking brake is applied (Manual Transmis-
sion models).
● The seatback is raised.
If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel
reaches its maximum adjustment, the function
is automatically disabled. Restart the function
by selecting a previously stored seat memory
position using the memory switches (1 or 2). An
Intelligent Key that was previously linked to the
stored seat memory can also be used to restart
the function.
If a seat position was not previously stored in
the seat memory, restart the function by adjust-
ing the steering wheel and outside mirrors
manually for your best driving position and then
drive the vehicle above 4 MPH (7 km/h).

equipped)
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-37

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.
