The automatic drive positioner system has
the following features:
.Entry/exit function
. Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the steering
column will automatically move when the
shift lever is in the P (Park) position. This
allows the driver to get into and out of the
driver’s seat more easily.
The steering wheel will move up when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the LOCK position.
The steering wheel will return to the pre-
vious position when the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit func-
tion
All the following conditions must be met
before cancelling or activating the entry/exit
function.
.The ignition switch is placed in the LOCK
position.
. The entry/exit function is not in opera-
tion.
. The following switches are not operated.
— Seat memory switches — Power seat switches
— Electric tilting/telescopic steering
wheel switch
The entry/exit function can be activated or
canceled by pushing and holding the SET
switch for more than 10 seconds.
The entry/exit function can also be acti-
vated or canceled if the [Lift Steering Wheel
on Exit] key is turned to ON or OFF in the
[Settings] menu on the lower display. (See
the INFINITI InTouch
TMOwner’s Manual.
The displayed keys on the lower display may
vary depending on models, specifications
and software versions.)
Initialize entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the entry/exit function will not
work though this function was set on before.
In such a case, after connecting the battery
or replacing with a new fuse, open and close
the driver’s door more than two times after
the ignition switch is switched from the ON
position to the LOCK position. The entry/
exit function will be activated.

WARNING
.
If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course lines and the
actual course line.
. The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rearview camera is not installed in the
rear center of the vehicle.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predictive
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform
the following procedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while the engine is running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.

WARNING
.Do not 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 accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
. Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
rear seatback and trunk lid securely
latched when not in use, and prevent
children’s access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows 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 any extended
length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing, otherwise exhaust gases could be
drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, follow these precau-
tions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the air recirculation to off and the fan control to high to circulate
the air. .
If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust sys-
tem, underbody, or rear of the
vehicle.

OPERATING RANGE FOR EN-
GINE START FUNCTION
The Intelligent Key can only be used for
starting the engine when the Intelligent Key
is within the specified operating range
.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged or strong radio waves are pre-
sent near the operating location, the Intelli-

narrower and may not function properly.
If the Intelligent Key is within the operating
range, it is possible for anyone, even some-
one who does not carry the Intelligent Key,
to push the ignition switch to start the
engine. .
The trunk area is not included in the
operating range but the Intelligent Key
may function.
. If the Intelligent Key is placed on the
instrument panel, rear parcel shelf, inside
the glove box or door pocket, the
Intelligent Key may not function.
. If the Intelligent Key is placed near the
door or window outside the vehicle, the
Intelligent Key may function.
