2019 INFINITI QX50 jump start

Auto-reverse function
The auto-reverse function can be activated
when a window is closed by automatic op-
eration.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto-reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the window oc-
curs.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which can-
not be detected. Make sure that all passen-
gers have their hands, etc., inside the
vehicle before closing the window.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected, re-
placed, or jump started, the power window
auto-reverse function may not operate prop-
erly. If this occurs, it is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer to re-initialize the
power window auto-reverse system.
If the control unit detects something caught
in a window equipped with automatic opera-
tion as it is closing, the window will be imme-
diately lowered.
POWER MOONROOF
The front moonroof is a power moonroof,
the rear moonroof is fixed glass. The power
moonroof will only operate when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The
moonroof is operational for a period of time,
even if the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position. If the driver’s door or the front pas-
senger’s door is opened during this period of
time, the power to the moonroof is canceled.
Sliding the moonroof
To slide the moonroof:
∙ To fully open the moonroof, push the switch
1toward the open position until
it reaches the second detent. If the
switch
1is pushed to the first detent,
only the sunshade will open.
∙ To fully close the moonroof, push the switch
2toward the close position until
it reaches the second detent. If the
switch
2is pushed to the first detent, the
moonroof will close but the sunshade will
remain open.
∙ To stop the moonroof during operation, push the
1,2or3switch to the de-
sired position.
Tilting the moonroof
To tilt up, push the moonroof switch3.To
tilt down the moonroof, push the switch
3,
or the switch
2to the first detent. When the
switch
2is pushed to the second detent, the
moonroof will tilt down and the sunshade will
close.

To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below must
be followed.
WARNING
∙ If done incorrectly, jump starting can leadto a battery explosion, resulting in severe
injury or death. It could also damage your
vehicle.
∙ Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the
battery.
∙ Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corro-
sive sulfuric acid solution which can cause
severe burns. If the fluid should come into
contact with anything, immediately flush
the contacted area with water.
∙ Keep battery out of the reach of children.
∙ The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated bat-
tery can damage your vehicle. ∙ Whenever working on or near a battery,
always wear suitable eye protectors (for
example, goggles or industrial safety
spectacles) and remove rings, metal
bands, or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump starting.
∙ Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause seri-
ous injury.
∙ The automatic engine cooling fan (if so equipped) may come on at any time with-
out warning, even if the ignition switch is
in the OFF position and the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, keep hands and
other objects away from it.
JUMP STARTING
In case of emergency6-5

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below. Fail-
ure to do so could result in damage to the
charging system and cause personal injury.1. If the booster battery is in another ve- hicle, position the 2 vehicles to bring their
batteries near each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake. Engage the P (Park) position. Switch off all unneces-
sary electrical systems (lights, heater, air
conditioner, etc.). 3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF po-
sition.
4. Ensure the vent caps are level and tight.
5. Connect the jumper cables in the se- quence illustrated (
A,B,C,D).
CAUTION
∙ Always connect positive () to positive() and negative () to body ground (for
example, strut mounting bolt, engine lift
bracket, etc.) — not to the battery. ∙ Make sure the jumper cables do not touch
moving parts in the engine compartment
and that the cable clamps do not contact
any other metal.
6. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and let it run for a few minutes.
7. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle at about 2,000 rpm and start the
engine of the vehicle being jump started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait 3 to
4 seconds before trying again.
8. After starting the engine, carefully dis- connect the negative cable and then the
positive cable.

WARNING
∙ Do not expose the battery to flames, anelectrical spark or a cigarette. Hydrogen
gas generated by the battery is explo-
sive. Explosive gases can cause blindness
or injury. Do not allow battery fluid to
contact your skin, eyes, fabrics or painted
surfaces. Sulfuric acid can cause blind-
ness or injury. After touching a battery or
battery cap, do not touch or rub your
eyes. Thoroughly wash your hands. If the
acid contacts your eyes, skin or clothing,
immediately flush with water for at least
15 minutes and seek medical attention.
∙ Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in the battery is low. Low battery fluid can
cause a higher load on the battery which
can generate heat, reduce battery life,
and in some cases lead to an explosion.
∙ When working on or near a battery, al- ways wear suitable eye protection and
remove all jewelry.
∙ Battery posts, terminals and related ac- cessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash hands after handling.
∙ Keep battery out of the reach of children.
∙ Do not tip the battery. Keep the vent caps tight and the battery level. NOTE:
Do not try to open the top of the battery.
This battery is not equipped with removable
vent caps.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or
under severe conditions require frequent
checks of the battery fluid level.
JUMP STARTING
If jump starting is necessary, refer to “Jump
starting” in the “In case of emergency” section
of this manual. If the engine does not start by
jump starting, the battery may have to be
replaced. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
