PARCEL SHELF
WARNING
•Never put anything on the parcel shelf,
no matter how small. Any object on it
could cause an injury in case of an acci-
dent or if the brakes are applied sud-
denly.
•Do not leave the parcel shelf in position
when it is disengaged from the grooves.
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury
•Properly secure cargo and do not allow
it to contact the top tether strap when it is attached to the top tether anchor.
Cargo that is not properly secured or
cargo that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap during
a collision. If the cargo cover contacts
the top tether strap when it is attached
to the top tether anchor, remove the
cargo cover from the vehicle or secure it
on the cargo floor below its attachment
location. If the cargo cover is not re-
moved, it may damage the top tether
strap during a collision. Your child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision
if the child restraint top tether strap is
damaged.
•Do not use the cargo cover if the rear
seats are folded down.

ROOF RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
Genuine NISSAN accessory cross bars are
available through an INFINITI retailer. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for cross bar or other equipment information.
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the
cross bars. Do not load more than 221 lb
(100 kg) on the cross bars. Observe the maxi-
mum load limit shown on the crossbars or
roof carriers when you attach them on the
roof rails.
NIC2672
2-84Instruments and controls

Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars (if so equipped) must be in-
stalled before applying load/cargo/luggage
to the roof of the vehicle.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front
and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located
on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification
label (located on the driver’s door pillar). For
additional information, refer to "Vehicle load-
ing information" in the "10. Technical infor-
mation" section.
WARNING
•Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying ca-
pacity, especially if the significant por-
tion of that load is carried on the roof
rack.
•Heavy loading of the roof rack has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
•Roof rack load should be evenly distrib-
uted.
•Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
CAUTION
Always install the cross bars (if so
equipped) onto the roof side rails before
loading cargo of any kind. Loading cargo
directly onto the roof side rails or the vehi-
cle's roof may cause vehicle damage.

Instruments and controls2-85

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, inte-
grated in the vehicle's inside rear view mirror,
provides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
•Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
•Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the ve-
hicle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures (Ex-
ample: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to "Programming
HomeLink® " later in this section.
WARNING
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models manu-
factured after April 1, 1982). A garage
door opener which cannot detect an ob-
ject in the path of a closing garage door
and then automatically stop and re-
verse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.
•During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
•Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. NOTE
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener. If
you have difficulty programing the inte-
grated garage door opener, it is recom-
mended you contact your INFINITI retailer.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call

tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled. Al-
ways 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.
