WARNING
•Never 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 un-
knowingly activate switches or controls
and inadvertently become involved in a
serious accident and injure themselves.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal
illness to people or animals.
•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.
•To avoid raising the center of gravity
excessively, do not exceed the rated ca-
pacity of the roof rack (if so equipped)
and evenly distribute the load.
EXHAUST GAS (CARBON
MONOXIDE)
WARNING
•Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can
cause unconsciousness or death.
•If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows 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 an extended period of time.
•Keep the lift gate closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the lift gate open, fol-
low these precautions: – Open all the windows.
– Turn the air recirculation switch off
and set the fan control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
•If electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer through
the seal ion the lift gate or body, follow the manufacturer's recommendations
to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
•The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever: – You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
– You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
– You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST (IF
EQUIPPED)
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Ex-
haust gas in the three-way catalyst is burned
at high temperatures to help reduce pollut-
ants.
WARNING
•The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals and
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
5-4Starting and driving

•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

At the end of a journey turn the ignition OFF
to avoid a discharged battery. The Idle
Stop/Start System does not automatically
turn ignition off.Vehicles with Intelligent Key are equipped
with keys featuring an integrated Intelligent
Key function and in some cases a detachable
push-button ignition switch (Start/Stop but-
ton).
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the ve-
hicle. This occurs, for example, when starting
the engine.
When you insert the push-button ignition
switch into the ignition lock, the system
needs approximately two seconds recogni-
tion time. You can then use the push-button
ignition switch.
WARNING
Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in
an emergency. (The engine will stop when
the ignition switch is pressed 3 consecutive
times in quick succession or the ignition
switch is pushed and held for more than 2
seconds.) If the engine stops while the ve-
hicle is being driven, this could lead to a
crash and serious injury.
Before operating the push-button ignition
switch:
•Select P (Park). Pressing the Start/Stop button several times
in succession corresponds to the different
key positions in the ignition lock. Prerequisite
for this is that:
•You do not depress the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
key:
•The push-button ignition switch must be
inserted in the ignition lock.
•The key must be in the vehicle.
•The vehicle must not be locked with the
key or Intelligent Key (see "Keys" in the "3.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments" sec-
tion).
Do not keep the Intelligent Key:
•With electronic devices, for example a mo-
bile phone or another key.
•With metallic objects, for example coins or
metal film.
•Inside metallic objects, for example a metal
case.
This can affect the functionality of the Intel-
ligent Key.
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH
(IF EQUIPPED)
5-16Starting and driving

You do not have to remove the start/stop
button from the ignition lock when you leave
the vehicle. You should, however, always
take the key with you when leaving the ve-
hicle. As long as the key is in the vehicle:
•The vehicle can be started using the push-
button ignition switch.
•The electrically powered equipment can be
operated.
EMERGENCY ENGINE SHUT OFF
To shut off the engine in an emergency situ-
ation while driving, perform the following
procedure:
•Rapidly push the push-button ignition
switch 3 consecutive times in less than 1.5
seconds, or
•Push and hold the push-button ignition
switch for more than 2 seconds.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid, and windshield-washer
fluid as frequently as possible, or at least
whenever you refuel.
•Check that all windows and lights are
clean.
•Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Measure and check the tire
pressure for proper inflation.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position seat and adjust head restraints/
headrests.
•Adjust the inside and outside rear view
mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passen-
gers to do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning lights
when the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position.
