•Heavy braking going down a hill could
cause your brakes to overheat and fade,
resulting in loss of control and an acci-
dent. Apply brakes lightly and use a low
gear to control your speed.
•Unsecured cargo can be thrown around
when driving over rough terrain. Prop-
erly secure all cargo so it will not be
thrown forward and cause injury to you
or your passengers.
•Secure heavy loads in the cargo area as
far forward and as low as possible. Do
not equip the vehicle with tires larger
than specified in this manual. This could
cause your vehicle to roll over.
•Do not grip the inside or spokes of the
steering wheel when driving off-road.
The steering wheel could move suddenly
and injure your hands. Instead drive with
your fingers and thumbs on the outside
of the rim.
•Before operating the vehicle, ensure
that the driver and all passengers have
their seat belts fastened.
•Always drive with the floor mats in place
as the floor may become hot.
•Lower your speed when encountering
strong crosswinds. With a higher center of gravity, your INFINITI is more af-
fected by strong side winds. Slower
speeds ensure better vehicle control.
•Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires, even with AWD
engaged.
•For AWD equipped vehicles, do not at-
tempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to any
drive or reverse position with the engine
running. Doing so may result in drive-
train damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury.
•Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dyna-
mometer (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions test-
ing), or similar equipment even if the
other two wheels are raised off the
ground. Make sure you inform test facil-
ity personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with AWD before it is placed
on a dynamometer. Using the wrong
test equipment may result in drivetrain
damage or unexpected vehicle move-
ment which could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.
•When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively.
•Accelerating quickly, sharp steering ma-
neuvers or sudden braking may cause
loss of control.
•If at all possible, avoid sharp turning ma-
neuvers, particularly at high speeds.
Your INFINITI vehicle has a higher cen-
ter of gravity than a passenger car. The
vehicle is not designed for cornering at
the same speeds as passenger cars. Fail-
ure to operate this vehicle correctly
could result in loss of control and/or a
rollover accident.
•Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted,
or radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Install tire chains on the front
wheels when driving on slippery roads
and drive carefully.
•Be sure to check the brakes immediately
after driving in mud or water. .
•Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills.
If you get out of the vehicle and it rolls
forward, backward or sideways, you
could be injured.
Starting and driving5-13

•Whenever you drive off-road through
sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel
hub, more frequent maintenance may be
required. For additional information, re-
fer to "Maintenance schedules" in the
"9. Maintenance and Schedules"
section.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(IF SO EQUIPPED)
WARNING
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
•Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or
radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Install tire chains on the front
wheels when driving on slippery roads
and drive carefully.
•This vehicle is not designed for off-road
(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandy
or muddy roads that tires may get stuck
in.
•For AWD equipped vehicles, do not at-
tempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to any
D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position with
the engine running. Doing so may result
in drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in se-
rious vehicle damage or personal injury
•Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dyna-
mometer, (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions test-
ing), or similar equipment even if the
other two wheels are raised off the
ground. Make sure you inform test facil-
ity personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with AWD before it is placed
on a dynamometer. Using the wrong
test equipment may result in drivetrain
damage or unexpected vehicle move-
ment which could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.
•When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively. The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will
not allow the engine to start without the use
of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll
road device or automated payment device on
the key ring. Restart the engine using the
following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately 5
seconds.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de- vice (which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI
recommends placing the registered key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.

Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at mod-
erate speed for a short distance first, es-
pecially in cold weather. In cold weather,
keep the engine running for a minimum of
2 - 3 minutes before shutting it off. Start-
ing and stopping the engine over a short
period of time may make the vehicle more
difficult to start.

button. and turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position.
NOTE
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
•Installation or extended use of electronic
accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.)
•Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only
driven short distances. In these cases, the
battery may need to be charged to main-
tain battery health.
STARTING PROCEDURE USING
THE PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION
SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
The push-button ignition switch can be used
to start the vehicle manually without insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock. The key must
be in the vehicle and the start/stop button
must be inserted in the ignition lock (see "Re-
moving the start/stop button" earlier in this
section). This mode for starting the engine
operates independently of the ECO start/
stop automatic engine start function.
You can start the engine if a valid key is in the
vehicle. Switch off the engine and always
take the key with you when leaving the ve-
hicle, even if you only leave it for a short time.

while shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral)
to R (Reverse), D (Drive), or M (Manual
shift mode). Always depress the brake
pedal until shifting is completed. Failure
to do so could cause you to lose control
and have an accident.
•Cold engine idle speed is high, so use cau-
tion when shifting into a forward or re-
verse gear before the engine has warmed
up.
•Never shift to either the P (Park) or R
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is
moving forward and P (Park) or D (Drive)
position while the vehicle is reversing.
This could cause an accident or damage
the transmission.
•Except in an emergency, do not shift to
the N (Neutral) position while driving.
Coasting with the transmission in the N
(Neutral) position may cause serious
damage to the transmission.
