VANITY MIRROR
To use the front vanity mirror, pull down
the sun visor and pull up the cover.The automatic drive positioner system has
two features:
.
Entry/exit function
. Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and steering column will automati-
cally move when the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to get
into and out of the driver’s seat more
easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and
the steering wheel will move up when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ACC
position.
The driver’s seat will not return to the
previous positions if the seat or steering
adjusting switch is operated when the seat
is at the exit position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit func-
tion
All the following conditions must be met
before cancelling or activating the entry/ exit function.
.
The ignition switch is placed in the
LOCK position.
. The entry/exit function is not in opera-
tion.
. The following switches are not oper-
ated.
— Seat memory switches
— Power seat switches
— Electric tilting/telescopic steering
wheel switch
The entry/exit function can be activated or
canceled by pressing and holding the SET
switch for more than 10 seconds.
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 seconds while
holding the SET switch. Keep the SET
switch pressed for more than 10 seconds
to turn on or off the entry/exit function.
The entry/exit function can also be acti-
vated or canceled if the [Lift Steering Wheel
on Exit] or [Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit]
key is turned to ON or OFF in the [Settings]
menu on the lower display. (See the Infiniti
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-29

Initialize entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if
the fuse opens, the entry/exit function will
not work though this function was set on
before. In such a case, after connecting the
battery or replacing with a new fuse, open
and close the driver’s door more than two
times after the ignition switch is switched
from the ON position to the LOCK position.
The entry/exit function will be activated.

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 mem-
ory system.
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering col-umn and outside mirrors to the desired
positions by manually operating each
adjusting switch. For additional infor-
mation, see “Seats”(P.1-2),“Tilt/tele-
scopic steering” (P.3-24) and“Outside
mirrors” (P.3-27).
2. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, 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 approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the
switch.
When the memory is stored in the
memory switch (1 or 2), a buzzer will
sound.
If memory is stored in the same
memory switch, the previous memory
will be deleted.
Confirming memory storage
.
Push the ignition switch to the ON
position and push the SET switch. If
the main memory has not been stored,
the indicator light will come on for
approximately 0.5 seconds. When the
memory has stored in position, the
indicator light will stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
. If the battery cable is disconnected, or if
the fuse opens, the memory will be
canceled. In this case, reset the desired
position using the previous procedure.

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)
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.

turned from the LOCK position.
Some indicators and warnings for opera-
tion are displayed in the vehicle informa-
tion display between the speedometer and
tachometer. (See“Vehicle information dis-
