2014 INFINITI QX60 towing

– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in
the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
●The sensor generally detects the sig-
nals returned from the vehicle ahead.
Therefore, the system may not function
properly under the following
conditions:
– When the sensor area of the front
bumper gets dirty and it is impos-
sible to detect the distance from the
vehicle ahead.
– When radar signal is temporarily
interrupted.
– When visibility is low (such as rain,
fog, snow, etc.) .
– When snow or road spray from trav-
eling vehicles is splashed.
– When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
room of your vehicle.
– When abruptly accelerating or
decelerating.
– On a steep downhill slope or on
roads with sharp curves.– When there is a highly reflective ob-
ject near the vehicle ahead (for ex-
ample, being very close to another
vehicle, signboard, etc.)
– When you are towing a trailer.
●Depending on certain road conditions
(curved or beginning of a curve) , vehicle
conditions (steering position or vehicle
position) , or the preceding vehicle’s
conditions (position in lane, etc.) , the
system may not function properly. The
system may detect objects such as
signs and other stationary objects on
the road or near the traveling lane and
provide unnecessary warning.
●The system may not function in offset
conditions.
WARNING
●In extreme conditions, detection of
these objects may cause the system to
function.

engine coolant reservoir tank if necessary.
Have your vehicle repaired at an INFINITI
retailer.When towing your vehicle, all State (Provincial in
Canada) and local regulations for towing must be
followed. Incorrect towing equipment could dam-
age your vehicle. Towing instructions are avail-
able from an INFINITI retailer. Local service op-
erators are generally familiar with the applicable
laws and procedures for towing. To assure
proper towing and to prevent accidental damage
to your vehicle, INFINITI recommends having a
service operator tow your vehicle. It is advisable
to have the service operator carefully read the
following precautions:
WARNING
●Never ride in a vehicle that is being
towed.
●Never get under your vehicle after it has
been lifted by a tow truck.
CAUTION
●When towing, make sure that the trans-
mission, axles, steering system and
powertrain are in working condition. If
any of these conditions apply, dollies or
a flatbed tow truck must be used.
●Always attach safety chains before
towing.For information about towing your vehicle behind
a recreational vehicle (RV) , refer to “Flat towing”
in the “Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual.

this may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission. If it is nec-
essary to tow the vehicle with the rear
wheels raised always use towing dollies
under the front wheels.●When towing with the rear wheels on
the ground or on towing dollies, place
the ignition switch in the ACC or ON

to recover the vehicle if you have any
questions regarding the recovery
procedure.
●Attach recovery devices only to main
structural members of the vehicle or the
recovery hooks.
●Do not use the vehicle tie-downs to tow
or free a stuck vehicle.
●Only use devices specifically designed
for vehicle recovery and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
●Always pull the recovery device straight
out from the front of the vehicle. Never
pull at an angle.
●Route recovery devices so they do not
touch any part of the vehicle except the
attachment point.

In case of emergency6-15

If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.,
use a tow strap or other device designed specifi-
cally for vehicle recovery. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for the recovery de-
vice.
Do not use the tie-down hooks for towing or
vehicle recovery.

●Do not spin your tires at high speed.
This could cause them to explode and
result in serious injury. Parts of your
vehicle could also overheat and be
damaged.

use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control System
(VDC) .
2. Make sure the area in front and behind the
vehicle is clear of obstructions.
3. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear
an area around the front tires.
4. Slowly rock the vehicle forward and back-
ward.●Shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and D (Drive) .
●Apply the accelerator as little as possible
to maintain the rocking motion.
●Release the accelerator pedal before
shifting between R and D.

Your engine was filled with a high-quality engine
oil when it was built. You do not have to change
the oil before the first recommended change
interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend
upon how you use your vehicle.
Operation under the following conditions may
require more frequent oil and filter changes:
●repeated short distance driving at cold out-
side temperatures
●driving in dusty conditions
●extensive idling
●towing a trailer
●stop and go commuting
Refer to the “INFINITI Service and Maintenance
Guide” for the maintenance schedule.
AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioner system in your INFINITI
vehicle must be charged with the refriger-
ant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the oil, NISSAN
A/C system oil DH-PS or the exact equiva-
lents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil will
cause severe damage to the air condition-
ing system and will require the replace-
ment of all air conditioner system
components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
INFINITI vehicle does not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the
earth’s atmosphere, certain government regula-
tions require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air conditioner sys-
tem service. An INFINITI retailer has the trained
technicians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioner system refriger-
ant.
Contact an INFINITI retailer when servicing your
air conditioner system.
