tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop the engine 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 au-
tomatically. Continued refueling 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 emis-
sion control system. 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.
•Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious in-
jury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:
–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.
–Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
•Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. For additional information, re-
fer to "Fuel Recommendation" in the
"Technical and consumer information"
section of this manual.

away with water to avoid paint damage.
WARNING
•Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident.
•Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of po-
sition in any way, you are at 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.Release the lock lever

•Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show objects close
to the bumper or on the ground.
•Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
•Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside mir-
rors.
•Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road conditions and road grade.
•Make sure that the lift gate is securely
closed when backing up.
•Do not put anything on the rear view
camera. The rear view camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.
•When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a malfunc-
tion, fire or an electric shock.
•Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects.
•When strong light shines directly on to the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
•Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper.
•The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
•The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.
•Objects on the monitor may not be clear in
a dark environment.
•Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

WARNING
•The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width lines should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed objects.
•Use the displayed lines and the bird's-
eye view as a reference. The lines and the
bird's-eye view are greatly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road condition and road
grade.
•When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are farther
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear.
•Objects in the monitor will appear visu-
ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the rear view and outside mirrors.
•Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
•The distance between objects viewed in
the rear view differs from actual dis-
tance because a wide-angle lens is used.
•The displayed lines on the rear view will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rear view camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.

WARNING
•The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals and
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
•Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
wastepaper or rags. They may ignite
and cause a fire.
CAUTION
•Do not use leaded gasoline. (See "Rec-
ommended fluids/lubricants and ca-
pacities".) Deposits from leaded gaso-
line seriously reduce the ability of the
three-way catalyst to help reduce ex-
haust pollutants and/or damage the
three-way catalyst.
•Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-
tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems may cause overrich
fuel to flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep driv-
ing if the engine misfires, or if noticeable
loss of performance or other unusual op-
erating conditions are detected. Have
the vehicle inspected promptly. It is rec-ommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
•Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the three-
way catalyst.
•Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
•Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if present),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of yourtires is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illu-
minates, you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv-
er’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
