3-18Pre-driving checks and adjustments
WARNING
.Do not drive with the trunk lid open.
This could allow dangerous exhaust
gases to be drawn into the vehicle.
See “Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)”
(P.5-4).
. Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
trunk closed, when not in use, and
prevent children’s access to Intelli-
gent Keys.

You can open the trunk lid with Intelligent
Key. (See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-7) or
“Remote keyless entry system” (P.3-14).)
If the trunk lid does not unlock, push the

TRUNK RELEASE POWER CAN-
CEL SWITCH
When the switch located inside the glove
box is in the OFF position, the power to
the trunk lid will be canceled and the trunk lid
cannot be opened by the trunk lid release
switch, the trunk open request switch or the
TRUNK button on the Intelligent Key.
When you have to leave the vehicle with a
valet and want to keep your belongings safe
in the glove box and the trunk, push this
switch to OFF and lock the glove box with
the mechanical key. Then leave the vehicle
and the Intelligent Key with the valet and
keep the mechanical key with you. See “Keys” (P.3-2).
To connect the power to the trunk lid, push
the switch to the ON
position.
AUTO CLOSURE
If the trunk lid is pulled down to a partly open
position, the trunk lid will pull itself to the
closed position.
Do not apply excessive force when the auto
closure is operating. Excessive force applied
may cause the mechanism to malfunction.
CAUTION
.
The trunk lid will automatically close
from a partly open position. To avoid
pinching, keep hands and fingers
away from trunk lid opening.
. Do not let children operate the trunk
lid.
The auto closure may not function if the
battery is weak. If the auto closure does not
work, close the trunk lid manually, or per-
form the auto closure operation again after
starting the engine.
If the auto closure operation is performed
repeatedly with the trunk overloaded, the
auto closure may not operate properly.
Reduce the amount of items in trunk. If the
auto closure still does not operate, have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the auto closure operation is per-
formed repeatedly in a short period of time,
the auto closure function may be temporarily
disabled. If this occurs, wait a few minutes
until the motor cools down. If the auto
closure still does not operate, have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.

INTERIOR TRUNK LID RELEASE
WARNING
Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from play-
ing and becoming locked in the trunk
where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the car locked, with the trunk lid
securely latched, when not in use, and
prevent children’s access to Intelligent
Keys.
The interior trunk lid release mechanism
allows opening of the trunk lid in the event that people become locked inside the trunk
or in the event of the loss of electrical power
such as a discharged battery.
Releasing inside the trunk
To open the trunk lid from the inside, pull the
release handleuntil the lock releases and
push up on the trunk lid. The release lever is
made of a material that glows in the dark
after a brief exposure to ambient light.
The handle is located on the back of the
trunk lid as illustrated.
Releasing from the rear seat
You can access the release handle through
the trunk pass-through (rear seat armrest).
(See “Armrest” (P.1-4).)
To open the trunk lid from the rear seat, pull
the release handle towards front of vehicle
until the lock releases.
If you cannot reach the release handle,
contact an INFINITI retailer.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-21
5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
. Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
rear seatback and trunk lid securely
latched when not in use, and prevent
children’s access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing, otherwise exhaust gases could be
drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, follow these precau-
tions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high to
circulate the air. .
If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust sys-
tem, underbody, or rear of the
vehicle.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
refill capacity. The drain and refill capa-
city depends on the oil temperature and
drain time. Use these specifications for
reference only. Always use the dipstick
to determine the proper amount of oil in
the engine.
10. Start the engine and check for leakage around the drain plug and the oil filter.
Correct as required.
11. Turn the engine off and wait more than 15 minutes. Check the oil level with the
dipstick. Add engine oil if necessary.
After the operation
1. Install the engine undercover into posi-
tion as the following steps.
a. Pull the center of the small plastic clipout.
b. Hold the engine undercover into posi- tion.
c. Insert the clip through the undercover into the hole in the frame, then push
the center of the clip in to lock the clip
in place.
d. Install the other bolts that hold the undercover in place. Be careful not to
strip the bolts or over-tighten them.
2. Lower the vehicle carefully to the ground. 3. Dispose of waste oil and filter properly.
WARNING
.
Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
. Try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.
. Keep used engine oil out of reach of
children. When checking or replacement is required,
we recommend an INFINITI retailer for
servicing.CAUTION
.
It is recommended that you use only
Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF. Do
not mix with other fluids.
. Using automatic transmission fluid
(ATF) other than Genuine NISSAN
Matic S ATF may cause deterioration
in driveability and automatic trans-
mission durability, and may damage
the automatic transmission. Damage
caused by use of fluids other than as
recommended is not covered by the
INFINITI new vehicle limited war-
ranty.

CR2025 or equivalent
.Do not touch the internal circuit andelectric terminals as it could cause a
malfunction.
