through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-

tivated if an impact or load similar to some-
thing being caught in the window occurs.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which can-
not be detected. Make sure that all passen-
gers have their hands, etc., inside the
vehicle before closing the window.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, re-
placed, or jump started, the power window
auto-reverse function may not operate prop-
erly. If this occurs, it is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer to re-initialize the power
window auto-reverse system.
If the control unit detects something caught
in a window equipped with automatic opera-
tion as it is closing, the window will be imme-
diately lowered.

of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased
for security purposes. For addi-
tional information, refer to"Programming
