Entry/Exit function
The automatic drive positioner system will make
the steering wheel move up automatically when
the driver’s door is opened and the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position. This lets the driver
get into and out of the seat more easily. The
steering wheel moves back into position when
the driver’s door is closed and the ignition switch
is pushed.
For more information, see “Automatic drive posi-
tioner” in this section.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-31
MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering col-
umn, and outside mirrors can be stored in the
automatic drive positioner memory. Follow these
procedures to use the memory system.
1. Set the Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) shift lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column,
and outside mirrors to the desired positions
by manually operating each adjusting
switch. For additional information, see
“Seats” in the “Safety—Seats, seat belts andsupplemental restraint system” section, and
“Tilt/Telescopic Steering” and “Outside mir-
rors” in this section.
During this step, do not place the ignition
switch in any position other than ON.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds,
push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the se-
lected positions are stored in the selected
memory (1 or 2) . A chime will sound if the
memory has been stored correctly (if so
equipped) .
If a new memory is stored in the same memory
switch, the previous memory will be deleted.
Linking a keyfob to a stored memory
position
Each keyfob can be linked to a stored memory
position (memory switch 1 or 2) with the follow-
ing procedure.
1. Follow the steps for storing a memory posi-
tion.2. While the indicator light for the memory
switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
onds, press the
button on the keyfob.
The indicator light will blink. After the indica-
tor light goes off, the keyfob is linked to that
memory setting.
With the ignition switch placed in the OFF posi-
tion, press the
button on the keyfob. The
driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors
will move to the memorized position.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is saved to the
memory switch, the keyfob automatically
re-links.
Reverse tilt-down feature (if so
equipped)
The reverse tilt-down feature will turn the se-
lected outside mirror surface downward to pro-
vide better rear visibility close to the vehicle.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
turn the outside mirror control switch to the left or
right position. Only one mirror can be selected at
a time.
Move the shift lever to R (Reverse) . The selected
mirror will turn downward.
LPD2068
3-32Pre-driving checks and adjustments
The selected mirror surface will return to its origi-
nal position when any of the following have oc-
curred:
●The shift lever is moved to any position other
than R (Reverse) .
●The outside mirror control switch is set to the
neutral or center position.
●The ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
NOTE:
If the outside mirror control switch is in the
neutral position, neither mirror will turn
downward when the shift lever is moved to
R (Reverse) .
Seat synchronization function
The seat synchronization function automatically
adjusts the positions of the steering wheel and
outside mirrors when the seat is adjusted using
the power seat switches.
However, the steering wheel and outside mirrors
will not move if the seat is adjusted over the
maximum thresholds. The system considers that
the steering wheel and outside mirror adjust-
ments are not necessary because the seat maynot be adjusted for the driving position. Note that
the function is set to disabled as the factory
default setting.
The seat synchronization function operates under
the following conditions:
●The ignition switch is in the ON position.
●The shift lever is in the P (Park) position.
If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel
reaches its maximum adjustment, the function is
automatically disabled. Restart the function by
selecting a previously stored seat memory posi-
tion using the memory switches (1 or 2) . An
Intelligent Key that was previously linked to the
stored seat memory can also be used to restart
the function.
If a seat position was not previously stored in the
seat memory, restart the function by adjusting the
steering wheel and outside mirrors manually for
your best driving position and then drive the
vehicle above 4 MPH (7 km/h).
Cancel or activate seat synchronization
function
The shift lever must be in the P (Park) position
with the ignition switch placed in the ACC posi-
tion.
Confirming memory storage
●Place the ignition switch in 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 the 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 storage function will
be canceled and must be restarted before a
stored memory position can be set again.
Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to
restart the memory storage function. You
can also restart the memory storage function
using the following procedure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the
fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than
2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position.
Once the memory storage function has been
restarted, you can store a memory position.
See “Memory storage function” in this sec-
tion.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-33
Selecting the memorized position
Set the shift lever to the P (Park) position, then:
●Within 45 seconds of opening the driver’s
door, push the memory switch (1 or 2) or
●Place the ignition switch in the ON position
and push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
The driver’s seat, steering column, and outside
mirrors will move to the memorized position with
the indicator light blinking, and then the light will
stay on for approximately 5 seconds.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and automatic operation steering column will au-
tomatically 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 column will move up:
●When the driver’s door is opened with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK position.
●When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to LOCK with the driver’s door open.The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
the previous position:
●When the driver’s door is closed with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK position.
●When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to ON while the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed through the Vehicle Settings in the vehicle
information display by performing the following:
●Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.
●Switch the Exit Steering UP from ON to
OFF.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be disabled.
Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to
restart the entry/exit function. You can also restart
the entry/exit function using the following proce-
dure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the
fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than
2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.
SETTING MEMORY FUNCTION
The position of the following settings can be
linked to the Intelligent Key and the memorized
settings can be available for each Intelligent Key.
●Climate control system
●Navigation system (if so equipped)
●Audio system
To use the memory function, set the climate,
navigation and audio systems to the driver’s pre-
ferred settings. Lock the doors with the Intelligent
Key. Each Intelligent Key may be set with the
driver’s individual preferences. When a new In-
telligent Key is used, “Connection with the key

Make sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail
lights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all
operating properly and installed securely. Also
check headlight aim.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*When checking
the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are missing,
and check for any loose wheel nuts. Tighten if
necessary.
Tire rotation*Tires should be rotated every
5,000 miles (8,000 km).
Tires*Check the pressure with a gauge often
and always prior to long distance trips. If neces-
sary, adjust the pressure in all tires, including the
spare, to the pressure specified. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter componentsReplace the TPMS
transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap
when the tires are replaced due to wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balanceIf the vehicle
should pull to either side while driving on a
straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or
abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheelalignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at
normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
●For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in
the Warranty Information Booklet.

P (Park) position mechanismOn a fairly
steep hill check that your vehicle is held securely
with the shift lever in the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.
Parking brakeCheck the parking brake opera-
tion regularly. The vehicle should be securely held
on a fairly steep hill with only the parking brake
applied. If the parking brake needs adjustment,
see an INFINITI retailer.
SeatsCheck seat position controls such as seat
adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to ensure they
operate smoothly and all latches lock securely in
every position. Check that the head restraints and
headrests move up and down smoothly and the
