2018 INFINITI QX30 hood release

If you live in Canada
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals after broadcasting for a few seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during
programing. Comparable with Canadian law,
some U.S. garage door openers also feature a
"break".
Proceed as follows:
•If you live in Canada
•If you have difficulties programing the ga-
rage door opener (regardless of where you
live) when using the programing steps.
1. Press and hold one of buttons
2to4on
the HomeLink®. After a short time, indi-
cator light
1lights up yellow.
2. Release the button. Indicator light
1flashes yellow.
3. Press button
6of the hand held trans-
mitter
5for two seconds, then release it
for two seconds.
4. Press button
6again for two seconds.
5. Repeat this sequence on button
6of the
hand held transmitter
5until indicator
light
1lights up green. When indicator light
1lights up green:
programing is finished.
When indicator light
1flashes green:
programing was successful. The next step
is to synchronize the rolling code.
6. Release button
6of the hand held trans-
mitter
5for the garage door drive.
If indicator light
1lights up red: repeat
the programing process for the corre-
sponding button on the rear-view mirror.
When doing so, vary the distance be-
tween the hand held transmitter
5and
the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between the hand
held transmitter
5and the HomeLink®
depends on the garage door drive system.
Several attempts might be necessary. You
should test every position for at least 25
seconds before trying another position.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
•Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive hand-held transmitter
5and whether it is supported. The trans-
mitter frequency can usually be found on
the back of the garage door drive hand- held transmitter. HomeLink® is compat-
ible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz.
•Replace the hand-held transmitter5bat-
teries with new batteries.
This increases the likelihood that the hand-
held transmitter
5will transmit a strong
and precise signal to the HomeLink®.
•When programing, hold the hand-held
transmitter
5at varying distances and
angles from the button which you are pro-
graming. Try various angles at a distance
between 2 and 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or at
the same angle but at varying distances.
•If another hand-held transmitter is avail-
able for the same garage door drive, re-
peat the same programing steps with this
hand-held transmitter
5. Before per-
forming these steps, make sure that new
batteries have been installed in the hand-
held transmitter
5.
•Note that some hand-held transmitters
only transmit for a limited amount of time
(the indicator light on the hand-held trans-
mitter goes out). Press button
6on re-
mote hand-held transmitter
5again be-
fore transmission ends.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-15

All of the vehicle's systems remain active
when the engine is switched off automati-
cally.
The engine can be switched off automatically
a maximum of four times (initial stop, then
three subsequent stops) in succession. The
Idle Stop/Start symbol is shown in yel-
low in the vehicle information display after
the engine has been started automatically for
the fourth time. When the
Idle Stop/
Start symbol is shown in green in the vehicle
information display, automatic engine
switch-off is again possible.
NOTE
If the hood is opened while the engine is run-
ning and the Idle Stop/Start function is op-
erational, the engine will switch off auto-
matically.
If the vehicle is brought to a standstill in D or
N, the Idle Stop/Start function switches off
the engine automatically.
AUTOMATIC ENGINE START
The engine is started automatically if:
•You switch off the Idle Stop/Start func-
tion by pressing the ECO button.
•You engage Reverse R or Drive D.
•You unfasten your seat belt or open the
driver's door.
•The vehicle starts to roll.
•The brake system requires this.
•The temperature in the vehicle interior de-
viates from the set range.
•The system detects moisture on the wind-
shield when the air-conditioning system is
switched on.
•The battery's charge status is too low.
The engine is started automatically if you:
•Release the brake pedal in transmission
position D (Drive) or N (Neutral).
•Depress the accelerator pedal.
•Move the transmission out of position P
(Park).
Shifting the transmission to position P (Park)
does not start the engine.
If you shift the transmission from R (Reverse)
to D (Drive), the Idle Stop/Start function is
available again once the
Idle Stop/
Start symbol reappears in green in the vehicle
information display.
DEACTIVATING/ACTIVATING
THE IDLE STOP/START
FUNCTION
•To deactivate: press ECO button1. Indi-
cator light
2and theIdle Stop/
Start symbol in the vehicle information dis-
play turn off.
•To activate: press ECO button1. Indica-
tor light
2lights up. If all conditions for
automatic engine switch-off (see "Auto-
matic engine switch-off" earlier in this sec-
tion) are fulfilled, the
Idle Stop/Start
symbol is shown in green in the vehicle
information display.

Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic fea-
ture that tests the system each time you start
the engine and move the vehicle at a low
speed in forward or reverse. When the self-
test occurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise
and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal.
This is normal and does not indicate a mal-
function. If the computer senses a malfunc-
tion, it switches the ABS off and illuminates
the ABS warning light on the instrument
panel. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. If the
ABS warning light illuminates during the self-
test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6
MPH (5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies ac-
cording to road conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or more
wheels are close to locking up, the actuator
rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pres-
sure. This action is similar to pumping the
brakes very quickly. You may feel a pulsation
in the brake pedal and hear a noise from
under the hood or feel a vibration from the
actuator when it is operating. This is normal
and indicates that the ABS is operating prop-
erly. However, the pulsation may indicate
that road conditions are hazardous and extra
care is required while driving.The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system
uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs
and vehicle motion. Under certain driving
conditions, the VDC system helps to perform
the following functions.
•Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel
slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is
transferred to a non slipping drive wheel
on the same axle.
•Controls brake pressure and engine output
to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function).
•Controls brake pressure at individual
wheels and engine output to help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle in the
following conditions: – understeer (vehicle tends to not follow the steered path despite increased
steering input)
– oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving conditions).
The VDC system can help the driver to main-
tain control of the vehicle, but it cannot pre-
vent loss of vehicle control in all driving situ-
ations.

ACCESSING VEHICLE BATTERY
The vehicle battery is stored under a cover.
To remove the cover to gain access to the
battery:
1. Disconnect the hood release cable
1and
any other cables from the battery cover.
2. Hold the battery top cover firmly and slide it towards the front of the car
2and
upwards
3.
3. Lift the cover up and away from the bat- tery.
NOTE
When installing the battery cover, remem-
ber to replace cables in their original posi-
tion.
MAINTENANCE FREE BATTERY
For a maintenance free battery it is not re-
quired to check the fluid level. However,
INFINITI recommends to visually check the
status of the green indicator
A(if so
equipped) periodically. If it is not visible, re-
place the battery as soon as possible.
