iously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop the
INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
®
System and do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks near the ve-
hicle when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically. Continued refuel-
ing may cause fuel overflow, resulting
in fuel spray and possibly 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 system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It could also cause the malfunction
indicator light to come on.

— Always place the container on the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.

greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious or
fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Rear-View Monitor system could result in
serious injury or death.

The RearView Monitor is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows, and check mirrors to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always
back up slowly.
. The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in showing large stationary
objects directly behind the vehicle, to
help avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used as
a reference only when the vehicle is
on a level paved surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor is for refer-
ence only and may be different than
the actual distance between the
vehicle and displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.
The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle when the
shift lever is placed in the R (Reverse)
position.
The radio can still be heard while the Rear-
View Monitor is active.
