2017 INFINITI QX30 under the hood

•The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
•The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag, knee air bag or
pretensioner systems may not operate prop-
erly. They must be checked and repaired. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on,
it could mean that the front air bag, side air
bag, knee air bag, curtain air bag and/or pre-
tensioner systems will not operate in an acci-
dent. To help avoid injury to yourself or others,
have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags, knee air bags and pretensioner(s) are
designed to inflate on a one-time-only basis. As
a reminder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag warning light remains illumi-
nated after inflation has occurred.
These systems should be repaired and/or re-
placed as soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags, knee air bags, pretensioner(s) and
related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The igni-
tion switch should always be in the LOCK
position when working under the hood or inside
the vehicle.
WARNING
•Once a front air bag, side air bag, knee air
bag, or curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again and must
be replaced. Additionally, the activated pre-
tensioner(s) must also be replaced. The air
bag module and pretensioner(s) should be
replaced. It is recommended that you visitan INFINITI retailer for this service. However,
the air bag module and pretensioner(s) can-
not be repaired.
•The front air bag, side air bag, knee air bag,
curtain air bag systems and the preten-
sioner system should be inspected if there
is any damage to the front end or side por-
tion of the vehicle. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
•If you need to dispose of a supplemental air
bag or pretensioner systems or scrap the
vehicle, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
•If there is an impact to your vehicle from any
direction, your automatic front-passenger
air bag deactivation system should be
checked to verify it is still functioning cor-
rectly. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. The system
should be checked even if no air bags de-
ploy as a result of the impact. Failure to
verify proper automatic front-passenger air
bag deactivation system function may re-
sult in an improper air bag deployment re-
sulting in injury or death.

mation label located in the driver’s door open-
ing, seeTire and loading information label in
the 9. Maintenance and Schedules section.
The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recom-
mended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the
TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The low tire pressure warning message appears
each time the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure warn-
ing light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see Vehicle infor-
mation display later in this section and Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the
5. Starting and driving section.
TPMS malfunction
:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. The light will remain
on after 1 minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. The low tire pressure warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunc-
tion.
For additional information, see
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) in the5. Starting
and driving section.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use.
•If the light does not illuminate with the ig-
nition switch pushed ON, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
•If the light illuminates while driving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt brak-
ing, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage the
tires and increase the likelihood of tire fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury or death. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the tire placard, located
in the driver’s door opening, to turn the low
tire pressure warning light off. If the light
still illuminates while driving after adjust-
ing the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a replacement
tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced without a TPMS sensor tire pres-
sure will not be indicated, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have
your vehicle’s tires replaced and/or TPMS
system reset as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
these services.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
•The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular
tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire
pressure regularly.
2-10Instruments and controls

The seat belt warning light may also illuminate
if there are objects on the front passenger seat.
Remove the objects and stow them in a safe
place.
If the seat belt warning light flashes, together
with an intermittent warning tone, this means
that the driver or passenger has not fastened
their seat belt, and the speed of the vehicle is
exceeding 15 MPH (25 km/h).
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) air bag warning light
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on,
it could mean that the front air bag, driver’s
knee air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not operate
in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air
bag warning light illuminates to indicate that
the system is operational. The light then tuns
off within a few seconds after the engine is
started. If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact
air bag, roof-mounted curtain air bag and pre-
tensioner systems need servicing:
•The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on for longer than a few seconds once
the engine is running.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
•The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for these services. Unless checked and re-
paired, the supplemental restraint system (air
bag system) and/or the pretensioner systems
may not function properly. For additional infor-
mation, refer to Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system section.
Coolant warning light
WARNING
If the coolant warning light is lit, the engine
may not be being cooled sufficiently and may
be damaged.
Never drive with an overheated engine. Driving
when your engine is overheated can cause some fluids which may have leaked into the
engine compartment to catch fire.
In addition, steam from an overheated engine
can cause serious burns, which can occur just
by opening the hood.
There is a risk of injury
If the red coolant warning light lights up while the
engine is running and the coolant temperature
gauge is at the start of the scale, the temperature
sensor for the coolant temperature gauge is faulty.
The coolant temperature is no longer being moni-
tored. There is a risk of engine damage if the
coolant temperature is too high.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine. Do not continue driving under any
circumstances.
Consult an INFINITI retailer.
If the red coolant warning light comes on while
the engine is running, with or without an ac-
companying warning tone, it could mean that:
•The coolant level is too low.
•If the coolant level is correct, the airflow to
the engine radiator may be blocked or the
electric engine radiator fan may be malfunc-
tioning.

WARNING
•Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. You
could be burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always stop the en-
gine and do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refueling.
•Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after
the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automati-
cally. Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possi-
bly a fire.
•Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury.
•Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-15

The vehicle’s wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tire pressures in all four tires The
tire pressure monitor warns you if the pressure
drops in one or more of the tires The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the corre-
sponding sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is shown in the
vehicle information display. After a few minutes
of driving, the current tire pressure of each tire
is shown in the [Serv.] menu of the vehicle
information display.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electri-
cal medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemake should contact their electrical
medical equipment manufacturer for the
pssible influences before use.
•If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates or a tire pressure-related warning is
displayed by the vehicle information dis-
play while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce ve-
hicle speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible. Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and increase
the likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to an ac-cident and could result in serious personal
injury. Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
tire and loading information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a replace-
ment tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement wheel is fitted without an
INFINITI TPMS Sensor, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute. It is
recommended you contact an INFINITI re-
tailer as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
•For models with run-flat tires, although you
can continue driving with a punctured run-
flat tire, remember that vehicle handling
stability is reduced, which could lead to an
accident and personal injury. Also, driving a
long distance at high speeds may damage
the tires.
– Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH (80
km/h) and do not drive more than ap-
proximately 93 miles (150 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual dis-
tance the vehicle can be driven on a flat

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces co-
ordination, delays reaction time and impairs
judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol in-
creases the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others. Addi-
tionally, if you are injured in an accident, alco-
hol can increase the severity of the injury.
INFINITI is committed to safe driving. However,
you must choose not to drive under the influ-
ence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people
are injured or killed in alcohol-related acci-
dents. Although the local laws vary on what is
considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of alco-
hol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And
that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter,
prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if
your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired
by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical con-
dition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your INFINITI is designed for both normal and
off-road use. However, avoid driving in deep
water or mud as your INFINITI is mainly de-
signed for leisure use, unlike a conventional
off-road vehicle.
Remember that 2–wheel drive vehicles are less
capable than all-wheel drive (AWD) models for
rough road driving and extrication when stuck
in deep snow or mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
•Spinning the front wheels on slippery sur-
faces may cause the AWD warning message
to display and the AWD system to automati-
cally switch from the AWD to 2WD mode.
This could reduce the traction. Be especially
careful when towing a trailer. (AWD models)
•Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas. Every person who drives
or rides in this vehicle should be seated
with their seat belt fastened. This will keep
you and your passengers in position when
driving over rough terrain.
•Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead
drive either straight up or straight down the
slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip over side-
ways much more easily than they can for-
ward or backward.
•Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If
you drive up them, you may stall. If you drive
down them, you may not be able to control
your speed. If you drive across them, you
may roll over.
•Do not shift gears while driving on downhill
grades as this could cause loss of control of
the vehicle.
•Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At
the top there could be a drop-off or other
hazard that could cause an accident.
•If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to
the top of a steep hill, never attempt to turn
around. Your vehicle could tip or roll over.
5-12Starting and driving

The Idle Stop/Start function switches the en-
gine off automatically if the vehicle is stopped
under certain conditions.
When pulling away again, the engine starts
automatically. The Idle Stop/Start function
thereby helps you to reduce the fuel consump-
tion and emissions of your vehicle.
WARNING
If the engine is switched off automatically and
you exit the vehicle, the engine is restarted
automatically. The vehicle may begin moving
There is a risk of accident and injury.
If you wish to exit the vehicle, always turn off
the ignition and secure the vehicle against roll-
ing away.If the
Idle Stop/Start symbol is shown in
green in the vehicle information display, the
Idle Stop/Start function switches the engine off
automatically once the vehicle stops moving.
The Idle Stop/Start function is automatically
activated each time you start the engine with
the ignition key.
If the Idle Stop/Start function has been manu-
ally deactivated (see Deactivating/activating
the Idle Stop/Start function later in this sec-
tion) or a malfunction has caused the system to
be deactivated, the
Idle Stop/Start sym-
bol is not displayed.
AUTOMATIC ENGINE SWITCH-OFF
The Idle Stop/Start function is operational and
theIdle Stop/Start symbol is displayed
in green in the vehicle information display, if:
•The indicator lamp in the ECO button is lit
green.
•The outside temperature is within the range
that is suitable for the system.
•The engine is at normal operating tempera-
ture.
•The set temperature for the vehicle interior
has been reached.
•The battery is sufficiently charged.
•The system detects that the windshield is not
misted up when the air-conditioning system
is switched on.
•The hood is closed.
•The driver’s door is closed and the driver’s
seat belt is fastened.
If the conditions for automatic engine switch-off
are not all fulfilled, the
Idle Stop/Start
symbol is shown in yellow.

Wheels and Tiresin the9. Maintenance and
Schedules section.)
– For detailed information, see Wheels and
tires in the 8. Do-it-yourself section.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls the
brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard
braking or when braking on slippery surfaces.
The system detects the rotation speed at each
wheel and varies the brake fluid pressure to
prevent each wheel from locking and sliding. By
preventing each wheel from locking, the system
helps the driver maintain steering control and
helps to minimize swerving and spinning on
slippery surfaces.
Using system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.
Depress the brake pedal with firm steady pres-
sure, but do not pump the brakes. The ABS will
operate to prevent the wheels from locking up.
Steer the vehicle to avoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may
result in increased stopping distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature
that tests the system each time you start the
engine and move the vehicle at a low speed in
forward or reverse. When the self-test occurs,
you may hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a
pulsation in the brake pedal. This is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction. If the computer
senses a malfunction, it switches the ABS off
and illuminates the ABS warning light on the
instrument panel. The brake system then oper-
ates normally, but without anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning light illuminates during the
self-test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6 MPH
(5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies according to
road conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or more wheels
are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly
applies and releases hydraulic pressure. This
action is similar to pumping the brakes very
quickly. You may feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise from under the hood or
feel a vibration from the actuator when it is
operating. This is normal and indicates that the
ABS is operating properly. However, the pulsa-
tion may indicate that road conditions are haz-
ardous and extra care is required while driving.
