TACHOMETERY51D-V-E01-ED042B9F-86CF-48B5-969C-C2981187A825The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM).Do not rev
the engine into the red zone
*1.
The scale length and the red zone vary with
the engine model.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce engine
speed. Operating the engine in the red zone
may cause serious engine damage.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
Y51D-V-E01-0B4133D2-A999-449F-81B0-E064C24AD12CThe gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is within
the normal range when the gauge needle
points within the zone
*1shown in the
illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with
the outside air temperature and driving
conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature is near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease the temperature. If the gauge is
over the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible and let the engine
idle. If the engine is overheated, continued
operation of the vehicle may seriously
damage the engine. See “If your vehicle
overheats” (P.6-12) for immediate action
required.

Ion controlY51D-V-E01-CABAC637-9E58-4AF7-B7FF-677924E32869This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster®ion into the air blown from
the ventilators and reduces odor absorbed
into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ion auto-
matically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ion in-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “

OPERATING TIPSY51D-V-E01-02573748-D5AC-4F11-950A-3F982048440DWhen the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate.
This is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, air will flow nor-
mally from the foot outlets.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CONTROLY51D-V-E01-C80C843B-C941-4617-9A6B-8ACA08B59C74.If the cruise control system malfunc-
tions, it will cancel automatically. The
SET indicator on the dot matrix crystal
display will then blink to warn the
driver.
. If the engine coolant temperature be-
comes excessively high, the cruise
control system will be canceled auto-
matically.
. If the SET indicator blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and have
the system checked by your INFINITI
retailer.
. The SET indicator may sometimes blink
when the cruise control main switch is
turned ON while pushing the COAST/
SET, ACCELERATE/RESUME or CANCEL
switch. To properly set the cruise
control system, perform the steps
below in the order indicated.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:
. when it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed .
in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in
speed
. on winding or hilly roads
. on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
. in very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

The hill start assist system automatically
keeps the brakes applied to help prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards in the
time it takes the driver to release the brake
pedal and apply the accelerator when the
vehicle is stopped on a hill.
The hill start assist system will operate
automatically under the following condi-
tions:
.The transmission is shifted to a forward
or reverse gear.
. The vehicle is stopped completely on a
hill by applying the brake.
The maximum holding time is 2 seconds.
After 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to
roll back and the hill start assist system
will stop operating completely.
The hill start assist system will not operate
when the transmission is shifted to the N
(Neutral) or P (Park) position or on a flat
and level road.

FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCKY51D-V-E01-5EBECC5D-B5CD-4CE7-A4D7-6E52DD8EBEECTo prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
deicer through the key hole. If the lock
becomes frozen, heat the key before
inserting it into the key hole or use the
Intelligent Key system.
ANTIFREEZEY51D-V-E01-7CABC06B-2D45-45D5-A042-B13E6F03CC5EIn the winter when it is anticipated that the
outside temperature will drop below 328F
(08C), check antifreeze to assure proper
winter protection. For additional informa-
tion, see “Engine cooling system” (P.8-12).
BATTERYY51D-V-E01-48005E45-813C-44A5-8D41-9521223F2001If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the
battery fluid may freeze and damage the
battery. To maintain maximum efficiency,
the battery should be checked regularly.
For additional information, see “Battery”
(P.8-20).
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATERY51D-V-E01-A0F702CC-5DF7-4D12-BDDC-B53438BDF4C1If the vehicle is to be left outside without
antifreeze, drain the cooling system, in-
cluding the engine block. Refill before
operating the vehicle. For details, see
“Engine cooling system” (P.8-12).
TIRE EQUIPMENTY51D-V-E01-B6FA169D-58DD-435F-9AD5-F0E503886684SUMMER tires have a tread designed to
provide superior performance on dry pave-
ment. However, the performance of these
tires will be substantially reduced in snowy
and icy conditions. If you operate your
vehicle on snowy or icy roads, INFINITI
recommends the use of MUD & SNOW or
ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels.
Consult an INFINITI retailer for the tire
type, size, speed rating and availability
information.
For additional traction on icy roads,
studded tires may be used. However, some
U.S. states and Canadian provinces prohi-
bit their use. Check local, state and
provincial laws before installing studded
tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.
Tire chains may be used. For details, see
“Tire chains”(P.8-43).
For all-wheel driveY51D-V-E01-52FA104E-DAD0-44AC-B200-A57E40801427If you install snow tires, they must also be
the same size, brand, construction and
tread pattern on all four wheels.

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENTY51D-V-E01-FD3A51BB-C337-4BB2-A247-49F856B8CB20It is recommended that the following items
be carried in the vehicle during winter:
.A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to
remove ice and snow from the windows
and wiper blades.
. A sturdy, flat board to be placed under
the jack to give it firm support.
. A shovel to dig the vehicle out of
snowdrifts.
. Extra window washer fluid to refill the
reservoir tank.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICEY51D-V-E01-66431155-62BF-4354-8807-8F4097602234
WARNING
. Wet ice (328F, 08C and freezing rain),
very cold snow or ice can be slick and
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will
have much less traction or “grip”under
these conditions. Try to avoid driving on
wet ice until the road is salted or
sanded.
. Whatever the condition, drive with cau-
tion. Accelerate and slow down with
care. If accelerating or downshifting too
fast, the drive wheels will lose even more traction.
. Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.
. Allow greater following distances on
slippery roads.
. Watch for slippery spots (glare ice).
These may appear on an otherwise clear
road in shaded areas. If a patch of ice is
seen ahead, brake before reaching it. Try
not to brake while on the ice, and avoid
any sudden steering maneuvers.
. Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads.
. Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gases
under your vehicle. Keep snow clear of
the exhaust pipe and from around your
vehicle.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so
equipped)
Y51D-V-E01-F270A1FF-C9B0-43A5-AB8A-F0C23F1ADF65Engine block heaters are used to assist in
cold temperature starting.
The engine block heater should be used
when the outside temperature is 208F
(−78C) or lower.
To use the engine block heaterY51D-V-E01-79B81556-127B-4048-8AA9-6FD28CD83F1B1. Turn the engine off.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the engine
block heater cord.
3. Plug the engine block heater cord into a grounded 3-wire, 3-pronged extension
cord.
4. Plug the extension cord into a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) protected,
grounded 110-volt AC (VAC) outlet.
5. The engine block heater must be
plugged in for at least 2 - 4 hours,
depending on outside temperatures, to
properly warm the engine coolant. Use
an appropriate timer to turn the engine
block heater on.
6. Before starting the engine, unplug and properly store the cord to keep it away
from moving parts.
