tion to retain space for the rear passenger.
● Depending on the seat position, the head
restraint may contact the roof headlining
during the walk-in operation. To prevent
possible interference, lower the seat using
the seat lifter switch.
CAUTION
●When returning the seat to its original posi-
tion, confirm the seat and seatback are
locked properly.
● Be careful not to pinch your hand or foot or
bump your head when operating the walk-in
seat.
● While operating the walk-in seat, do not op-
erate the seatback reclining switch. The re-
clining motor may be damaged.
● Do not place any objects near the seatback
of the front seats. They may be pinched and
damaged.
The automatic forwarding and reversing will not
work or stop under the following conditions:
● When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h) (driver’s seat only).
● When the seat belt is fastened.
● When the selector lever is not in the P (Park)

REAR SEATS
Folding (Coupe only)
WARNING
● Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area
or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could result in se-
rious injury in an accident or sudden stop. ●
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.
● When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain they are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop.
● Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from playing
and becoming locked in the trunk where they
could be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the rear seatback and trunk lid
securely latched when not in use, and pre-
vent children’s access to car keys.
The rear seatback can be folded according to
the following procedure. To fold from the trunk:
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Pull the handle
1located on the left side
of the trunk. The rear seatback will be
unlatched.

(if so equipped)
Thewarning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns off
soon after the engine is started.
If the AWD system malfunctions, or the diam-
eter of the front and the rear wheels are differ-
ent, the warning light will either remain illumi-
nated or blink. (See “ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
CAUTION
● If the warning light comes on while driving
there may be a malfunction in the AWD sys-
tem. Reduce the vehicle speed and have your
vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible.
● If the AWD warning light blinks on when you
are driving:
– blinks rapidly (about twice a second): Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the
engine. The driving mode will change to
2WD to prevent the AWD system from
malfunctioning. If the warning light turns
off, you can drive again. – blinks slowly (about once every 2 sec-
onds):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the
engine. Check that all tire sizes are the
same, tire pressure is correct and tires are
not worn.
● If the warning light is still on after the above
operations, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.

it could mean that the supplemental front air
bag, supplemental side air bag, curtain side-
impact air bag systems and/or pretensioner
seat belt will not operate in an accident. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked by a retailer as soon as
possible.

illuminates, the vehicle dynamic control system
is turned on, this light alerts the driver that the
vehicle dynamic control system’s fail-safe mode
is operating. For example, the vehicle dynamic
control system may not be functioning properly.
Have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
vehicle dynamic control system function will be
canceled but the vehicle is still driveable. Have
the system checked by an INFINITI retailer. For
