WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
. Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause the
malfunction indicator light to come on.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:—Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
—Do not use electronic devices whenfilling.
—Keep the pump nozzle in contactwith the container while you are
filling it.
—Use only approved portable fuelcontainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.
. Insert the cap straight into the fuel-filler
tube, then tighten the fuel-filler cap until
a single click is heard. Failure to tighten
the fuel-filler cap properly may cause the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) to
illuminate. If thelight illuminates
because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off after a few driving
trips. If thelight does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
. The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will appear
if the fuel-filler cap is not properly
tightened. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the LOOSE FUEL
CAP warning appears may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate.

HOW TO READ DISPLAYED LINESGUID-03B5E1E8-FBE1-4330-949B-2F63E5D564F3WARNING
.Always turn and check that it is safe to
park your car before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
. Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course line
may not be displayed correctly. .
On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
. If predicted course lines are displayed
incorrectly, drive the vehicle on a
straight road for 110 yd (100 m) at a
speed of above 20 MPH (30 km/h).
. The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the vehicle
width guide line should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
level paved surface. The distance viewed
on the monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed ob-
jects.
. When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When backing up the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. Use
the inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances to
other objects.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-25

WARNING
.The distance between objects viewed in
the rearview differs from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the rearview will appear
visually opposite than when viewed in
the rearview and outside mirrors.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
. If predicted course lines are displayed
incorrectly, drive the vehicle on a
straight road for 110 yd (100 m) at a
speed of above 20 MPH (30 km/h).
. The displayed lines on the rearview will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or less from the neutral position,
both the right and left predicted course
lines
*6are displayed. When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or more, a
line is displayed only on the opposite side
of the turn.
