2013 INFINITI G CONVERTIBLE child seat

over the retractable hard top (for exam-
ple, in a garage or a covered area). More
than approximately 6.6 ft (2 m) from the
ground and more than approximately 3.3
ft (1 m) from the rear is required to open
or close the retractable hard top safely.
Otherwise, the top may damage any
objects above it while moving. The
retractable hard top operating system
could also be damaged.
. Do not operate the retractable hard top
in a strong wind. It could be blown by
the wind, striking someone or damaging
the retractable hard top.
. When the retractable hard top is re-
tracted, do not allow anyone to stand up
or extend any portion of their body out
of the opening while the vehicle is in
motion or while the retractable hard top
is being operated.
. In an accident you could be thrown from
the vehicle with an open retractable hard
top if you do not use seat belts. Always
use seat belts and proper child re-
straints.
. Do not place any objects on or near the
retractable hard top operating switch.
Unintentional operation of the retract- able hard top may cause injuries or an
accident if the objects press the switch.
. Do not put your fingers or hands in the
gap between the rear seats and the rear
parcel shelf or the side flaps. Doing so
may cause injury if the retractable hard
top is operated.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the retractable hard top
when the temperature is below 328F
(08C). This may result in damage to the
retractable hard top material or operat-
ing system.
. Remove water drops, snow, ice or sand
from the retractable hard top, and dry
the surface of the retractable hard top
completely before opening it.
. Do not open the retractable hard top
when it is wet or damp. If the retractable
hardtop and rear window are wet, water
might get inside of the vehicle. To avoid
this, wipe off any water drops before
opening the retractable hard top.
. Do not place any objects between the
hard rail and the structure. Doing so could interfere with retractable hard top
operation and cause damage to the
retractable hard top operating system
or the objects.
. Do not place any objects on the upper
area of the windshield glass or the hard
rail when the retractable hard top is fully
opened. Doing so could interfere with
retractable hard top operation and cause
damage.
. Do not place any object between the
retractable hard top when the retract-
able hard top is stored in the storage
space. Doing so may interfere with
retractable hard top operation and cause
damage.
. Do not place anything on the retractable
hard top, rear parcel shelf, side flaps and
trunk lid. Even small items may interfere
with the retractable hard top operation
and could cause damage to the retract-
able hard top or the vehicle body.
. Do not place anything in the retractable
hard top storage area. The retractable
hard top will not fit there properly, and
this could damage the retractable hard
top and/or the vehicle body.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-19

GUID-44782A6F-CDF3-4C7B-81AC-D0330BCF5D5C
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. They could
accidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from play-
ing 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 prevent children’s
access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)GUID-9B424B2E-81F3-4BA1-BF2D-AD3661BD7EB5
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-
ous. It can cause unconsciousness or
death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open,
follow these precautions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to off
and the fan control to high to
circulate the air. .
If electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer through
the seal on the trunk lid or the body,
follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion to prevent carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
—The vehicle is raised for service.
—You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
—You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
—You have had an accident involvingdamage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.
