When the ignition switch is pushed without de-
pressing the brake pedal, the ignition switch will
illuminate.
Push the ignition switch center:● once to change to ACC.
● two times to change to ON.
● three times to return to OFF.
The ignition switch will automatically return to the
LOCK position when any door is either opened or
closed with the switch in the OFF position. The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition
switch position cannot be switched to OFF until
the shift selector is moved to the P (Park) posi-
tion.
When the ignition switch cannot be pushed to-
ward the OFF position, proceed as follows:
1. Move the shift selector into the P (Park) position.
2. Push the ignition switch. The ignition switch position will change to the ON position.
3. Push the ignition switch again to the OFF position.
The shift selector can be moved from the P
(Park) position if the ignition switch is in
the ON position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
If the battery of the vehicle is discharged,
the push-button ignition switch cannot be
moved from the LOCK position.
Some indicators and warnings for operation are
displayed on the vehicle information display. See
“Vehicle information display” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.OPERATING RANGE
The Intelligent Key functions can only be used
when the Intelligent Key is within the specified
operating range.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present near
the operating location, the Intelligent Key sys-
tem’s operating range becomes narrower and
may not function properly.
If the Intelligent Key is within the operating range,
it is possible for anyone, even someone who does
not carry the Intelligent Key, to push the ignition
switch to start the engine.

INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY
DISCHARGE
If the battery of the Intelligent Key is discharged,
or environmental conditions interfere with the
Intelligent Key operation, start the engine accord-
ing to the following procedure:1. Place the shift selector in the P (Park) posi- tion.
2. Firmly apply the foot brake.
3. Touch the ignition switch with the Intelligent Key as illustrated. (A chime will sound.) 4. Push the ignition switch while depressing
the brake pedal within 10 seconds after the
chime sounds. The engine will start.
After step 3 is performed, when the ignition
switch is pushed without depressing the brake
pedal, the ignition switch position will change to
ACC.
NOTE: ● When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ACC or ON position or the engine is started
by the above procedure, the Intelligent Key
battery discharge indicator appears in the
vehicle information display even when the
Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. This is
not a malfunction. To turn off the Intelligent
Key battery discharge indicator, touch the
ignition switch with the Intelligent Key again.
● If the Intelligent Key battery discharge indi-
cator appears, replace the battery as soon
as possible. See “Battery replacement” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.
INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered key,
it may be due to interference caused by another
registered key, an automated toll road device or
automated payment device on the key ring. Re-
start the engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI rec-
ommends placing the registered key on a sepa-
rate key ring to avoid interference from other
devices.

R (Reverse):
CAUTION
To prevent transmission damage, use the
P (Park) or R (Reverse) position only when
the vehicle is completely stopped.
Use the R (Reverse) position to back up. Make
sure the vehicle is completely stopped before
selecting the R (Reverse) position. The brake
pedal must be depressed and the shift se-
lector button pushed in to move the shift
selector from P (Park) , N (Neutral) or any
drive position to R (Reverse) .
N (Neutral):
Neither forward nor reverse gear is engaged. The
engine can be started in this position. You may
shift to N (Neutral) and restart a stalled engine
while the vehicle is moving.
D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward driving.
Manual shift mode
When the shift selector is in the manual shift gate,
the transmission is ready for the manual shift
mode. Shift ranges can be selected manually by
moving the shift selector up or down. To cancel manual shift mode, return shift selector to the D
(Drive) position. The transmission returns to au-
tomatic driving mode.
When the shift selector is shifted from D (Drive)
to the manual shift gate with the vehicle stopped
or while driving, the transmission enters the
manual shift mode. Shift ranges can be selected
manually. In the manual shift mode, the shift range
is displayed on the position indicator in the meter.
When shifting the shift selector to the manual
shift gate, the position indicator displays 1 (first)
up to 6 (sixth) depending on vehicle speed.
Shift ranges up or down one by one as follows:
1⇔
2⇔ 3⇔ 4⇔ 5⇔ 6
6 (6th)
Use this position for all normal forward driving at
highway speeds.
5 (5th)
Use this position when driving up long slopes, or
for engine braking when driving down long
slopes.
4 (4th) , 3 (3rd) and 2 (2nd)
Use these positions for hill climbing or engine
braking on downhill grades. 1 (1st)
Use this position when climbing steep hills slowly
or when driving slowly, or for maximum engine
braking on steep downhill grades.
● Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time in lower than 6th
gear. This reduces fuel economy.
When shifting up:
Move the shift selector to the + (up) side. (Shifts
to higher range.)
When shifting down:
Move the shift selector to the (down) side.
(Shifts to lower range.)
● The transmission will automatically down-
shift the gears. (For example, if you select the
3rd range, the transmission will shift down
between the 3rd and 1st gears.)
● Moving the shift selector rapidly to the same
side twice will shift the ranges in succession.
When canceling the manual shift mode:
Return the shift selector to the D (Drive) position
to return the transmission to the normal driving
mode.

fuel economy.
NOTE:
Selecting this drive mode will not neces-
sarily improve fuel economy as many driv-
ing factors influence its effectiveness.
Operation
Turn the drive mode select switch to the ECO
position. “ECO” appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display for 2 seconds and the ECO drive
indicator light illuminates on the instrument panel.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed within
the range of economy drive, the ECO drive indi-
cator light illuminates in green. When the accel-
erator pedal is depressed above the range of
economy drive, the color of the ECO drive indi-
cator light changes to orange. For ECO pedal
system equipped models see “ECO pedal sys-
tem” in this section.
The ECO drive indicator light will not illuminate in
the following cases:● When the shift selector is in the R (Reverse)
position. ●
When the vehicle speed is below 3 MPH
(4.8 km/h) or over 90 MPH (144 km/h).
● When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system (if so equipped) is operated.
ECO pedal system
Helps assist the driver to improve fuel economy by
increasing the reaction force of the accelerator
pedal. When the ECO drive indicator light is blink-
ing or turns orange, the ECO pedal system in-
creases the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.

When the ECO drive indicator illuminates in
green, the accelerator reaction force is normal.
When the ECO drive indicator light is blinking or
turns orange, the ECO pedal system increases
the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.
The ECO pedal system may not vary accelerator
reaction force under the following conditions:
● When the shift selector is in the N (Neutral)
or R (Reverse) position.
● When Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (if so
equipped) is being operated.
If the ECO pedal system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The ECO pedal system will
not vary the reaction force of the accelerator
pedal.
When the drive mode select switch is rotated
from the ECO mode to another mode (STAN-
DARD, SPORT or SNOW) while the ECO pedal
system is operating, the ECO pedal system con-
tinues to operate until the pedal is released.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the
ECO pedal system will not increase the reaction
force of the acceleration pedal. The ECO pedal
system is not designed to prevent the vehicle
from accelerating.

Precautions on LDW system
WARNING
●
This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer
the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It
is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
● The system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h)
or if it cannot detect lane markers.
● If the LDW system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically, and the “Please
see owner’s manual” will appear in the
meter display. ●
If the “Please see owner’s manual” ap-
pears in the meter display, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle. Place the shift selector into the
P (Park) position and the ignition switch
into the off position and restart the en-
gine. If the “Please see owner’s
manual” continues to appear in the me-
ter display, have the system checked by
an INFINITI retailer.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
The system may not function properly under the
following conditions: ● On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where the discontinued lane mark-
ers are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.

●On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW system could detect
these items as lane markers.)
● On roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates.
● When the vehicle’s traveling direction does
not align with the lane marker.
● When traveling close to the vehicle in front of
you, which obstructs the lane camera unit
detection range.
● When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the wind-
shield in front of the lane camera unit.
● When the headlights are not bright due to
dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
● When strong light enters the lane camera
unit. (For example, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
● When a sudden change in brightness oc-
curs. (For example, when the vehicle enters
or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
