When the lever is in the LOCK position, the
door can be opened only from the outside.
WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affect elec-tric medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.
∙ The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pressed. The
FAA advises the radio waves may affect
aircraft navigation and communication
systems. Do not operate the Intelligent
Key while on an airplane. Make sure the
buttons are not operated unintentionally
when the unit is stored for a flight.
∙ Before leaving the vehicle, engage the P (Park) position and check that the elec-
tronic parking brake warning light is illu-
minated to confirm that the electronic
parking brake is applied. The electronic
parking brake warning light will remain
on for a period of time after the driver’s
door is locked. ∙ Make sure to engage the P (Park) posi-
tion and apply the parking brake when
parking your vehicle, riding on or off the
vehicle or loading luggage. Failure to do
so could cause the vehicle to move or roll
away unexpectedly and result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote control function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or
conditions may affect the Intelligent Key sys-
tem operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
∙ Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when operating the vehicle.
∙ Never leave the Intelligent Key in the ve- hicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.
The Intelligent Key system transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions may

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-23

1. Pull the hood lock release handle1lo-
cated below the driver side instrument
panel. The hood will spring up slightly.
2. Push the lever
2at the front of the
hood to the side with your fingertips and
raise the hood.
When closing the hood, lower it slowly and
make sure it locks into place.
WARNING
∙ Make sure the hood is completely closed and latched before driving. Failure to do
so could cause the hood to fly open and
result in an accident.
∙ If you see steam or smoke coming from the engine compartment, to avoid injury
do not open the hood.
WARNING
∙ Always be sure the liftgate has beenclosed securely to prevent it from open-
ing while driving.
∙ Do not drive with the liftgate open. This could allow dangerous exhaust gases to
be drawn into the vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “Exhaust gas (car-
bon monoxide)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave children,
people who require the assistance of oth-
ers or pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people and
pets.
∙ Always be sure that hands and feet are clear of the door frame to avoid injury
while closing the liftgate.

3-24Pre-driving checks and adjustments

∙ 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 emission
control system. An incorrect cap can re-
sult in a serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the
Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to come
on.
∙ 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 injury 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 a fuel containing more than15% ethanol in your vehicle. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Fuel recom-
mendation” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this
manual.
∙ The Loose Fuel Cap warning message will be displayed if the fuel-filler cap is not
properly tightened. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be dis-
played. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler
cap properly after the Loose Fuel Cap
warning is displayed may cause the Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate.
∙ Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop- erly may cause the
Malfunction In-
dicator Light (MIL) to illuminate. If
the
light illuminates because the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to drive
the vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. ∙ For additional information, refer to
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.
∙ If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
