2014 INFINITI QX70 control unit

the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Auto reverse function
The auto-reverse function enables the lift
gate to automatically reverse when some-
thing is caught in the lift gate as it is
opening or closing. When the control unit
detects an obstacle, the lift gate will
reverse and return to the full open or full
close position.
If a second obstacle is detected, the lift
gate motion will stop and the drive motor
will disengage. The lift gate will enter the
manual mode.
A pinch sensor is mounted on each side of
the lift gate. If an obstacle is detected by
the pinch sensor during power close, the
lift gate will reverse and return to the full
open position immediately.
NOTE:
If the pinch sensor is damaged or
removed, the power close function will
not operate.
WARNING
There is a small distance immediately before
the closed position that cannot be detected.
Make sure that all passengers keep their
hands, etc., clear from the lift gate opening
before closing the lift gate.

gation system) with the INFINITI controller

In case of low tire pressure, LOW PRES-
SURE information will be displayed on the
screen. Check the pressure of all tires.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle’s traveling
condition and the temperature.
After tire rotation is performed, tire pres-
sure will not be displayed in the actual tire
position. Drive the vehicle at over 25 MPH
(40 km/h) for approximately 10 minutes to
reset the display.
For more details about the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS), see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-4).

Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into the air blown
from the ventilators and reduces odors
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
®ions
automatically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions 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 “
”.

poration.
Outside odor and exhaust gas detection
sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an outside
odor and exhaust gas detection sensor.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, the sensor detects odors and exhaust
gases, and then the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is
pushed under the following conditions,
the indicator light on the “
”side will
illuminate and the outside odor and
exhaust gas detection sensor will turn on.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on
the “
”front defroster button is
turned off). .
The outside temperature is about 328F
(08C) or more.
. The outside odor and exhaust gas
detection sensor detects industrial
odors such as pulp or chemicals, and
exhaust gases such as gasoline or
diesel.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, for the first 5 minutes, the recircula-
tion mode is selected to prevent dust, dirt
and pollen from entering the vehicle and
cleans the air inside of the vehicle with
positive and negative ions that are emitted
from the ventilator.
After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects
outside odors and exhaust gases and
automatically alternates between the re-
circulation mode and outside air circula-
tion mode.
OPERATING TIPS
When 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.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
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 or if it
cannot detect lane markers.
. If the LDW system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically, and the lane de-
parture warning light (orange) will illu-
minate.
. If the lane departure warning light
(orange) illuminates, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle.
Turn the engine off and restart the
engine. If the lane departure warning
light (orange) continues to illuminate, 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-stan-
dard lane markers; or lane markers
covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
. On roads where the discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
. On roads where there are sharp curves.
. On roads where there are sharply
contrasting 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 driving on roads where thelane width is too narrow.
—When driving without normal tireconditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-standard
wheels).
—When the vehicle is equipped withnonoriginal brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
—When you are towing a trailer.
. If the LDP system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The lane departure
warning light (orange) on the instrument
panel will illuminate.
. If the lane departure warning light
(orange) illuminates, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle.
Turn the engine off and restart the
engine. If the warning light (orange)
continues to illuminate, have the LDP
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
. Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
The functions of the LDP system (warning and brake control assist) may or may not
operate properly under the following con-
ditions:
.
On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-stan-
dard lane markers; or lane markers
covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
. On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
. On roads where there are sharp curves.
. On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shadows,
snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines
remaining after road repairs. (The LDP
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
windshield 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
occurs. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you
may hear a sound of brake operation. This
is normal and indicates that the LDP
system is operating properly.

TOWING SAFETY
Trailer hitch
Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and
trailer. A genuine INFINITI trailer hitch is
available from an INFINITI retailer. Make
sure the trailer hitch is securely attached to
the vehicle to help avoid personal injury or
property damage due to sway caused by
crosswinds, rough road surfaces or pas-
sing trucks.
WARNING
Trailer hitch components have specific
weight ratings. Your vehicle may be capable
of towing a trailer heavier than the weight
rating of the hitch components. Never
exceed the weight rating of the hitch
components. Doing so can cause serious
personal injury or property damage.
Hitch ball
Choose a hitch ball of the proper size and
weight rating for your trailer:
. The required hitch ball size is stamped
on most trailer couplers. Most hitch
balls also have the size printed on top
