∙ Do not use fuel that contains the octanebooster methylcyclopentadienyl manga-
nese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel con-
taining MMT may adversely affect ve-
hicle performance and vehicle emissions.
Not all fuel dispensers are labeled to indi-
cate MMT content, so you may have to
consult your gasoline retailer for more
details. Note that Federal and California
laws prohibit the use of MMT in reformu-
lated gasoline.
∙ U.S. government regulations require ethanol dispensing pumps to be identi-
fied by a small, square, orange and black
label with the common abbreviation or
the appropriate percentage for that
region.
Gasoline specifications
INFINITI recommends using gasoline that
meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter
(WWFC) specifications where it is available.
Many of the automobile manufacturers de-
veloped this specification to improve emis-
sion control system and vehicle performance.
Ask your service station manager if the gaso-
line meets the WWFC specifications.
Reformulated gasoline
Some fuel suppliers are now producing refor-
mulated gasolines. These gasolines are spe-
cially designed to reduce vehicle emissions.
INFINITI supports efforts towards cleaner air
and suggests that you use reformulated
gasoline when available.
Gasoline containing oxygenates
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing
oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE and
methanol with or without advertising their
presence. INFINITI does not recommend the
use of fuels of which the oxygenate content
and the fuel compatibility for your INFINITI
cannot be readily determined. If in doubt, ask
your service station manager.
If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, please
take the following precautions as the usage
of such fuels may cause vehicle performance
problems and/or fuel system damage.
∙ The fuel should be unleaded and have an
octane rating no lower than that recom-
mended for unleaded gasoline. ∙
If an oxygenate-blend other than
methanol blend is used, it should contain
no more than 15% oxygenate.
∙ If a methanol blend is used, it should con-
tain no more than 5% methanol (methyl
alcohol, wood alcohol). It should also
contain a suitable amount of appropri-
ate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
If not properly formulated with appro-
priate cosolvents and corrosion inhibi-
tors, such methanol blends may cause
fuel system damage and/or vehicle per-
formance problems. At this time, suffi-
cient data is not available to ensure that
all methanol blends are suitable for use in
INFINITI vehicles.
If any driveability problems such as engine
stalling and difficult hot-starting are experi-
enced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, im-
mediately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or
a fuel with a low blend of MTBE.
Take care not to spill gasoline during refuel-
ing. Gasoline containing oxygenates can
cause paint damage.
10-4Technical and consumer information

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) comes on
steady for 20 seconds and then blinks for
10 seconds , the I/M test condition is “not
ready”. If the MIL does not blink after 20 sec-
onds, the I/M test condition is “ready”. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer to set the “ready condition” or to pre-
pare the vehicle for testing.The ProPILOT Assist is equipped with an
Event Data Recording function.
The main purpose is to record, in certain crash
or near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The Data re-
cording function is designed to record data
related to driver operation, vehicle dynamics
and system status for a short period of time.
The Data recording function in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
∙ Driver operational status of accelerator, brake, handle etc.
∙ Detection status of a vehicle ahead and lane markers
∙ Vehicle information such as vehicle speed
∙ Information on the operation of the Pro- PILOT Assist
∙ ProPILOT Assist malfunction diagnosis information
∙ Images from multi-sensing front camera (Available only when SRS air bag or FEB
with Pedestrian Detection system is acti-
vated) The ProPILOT Assist does not record con-
versations, sounds or images of the inside of
the vehicle.
NISSAN and third parties entrusted by
NISSAN may use the data recorded for the
purpose of improving NISSAN’s vehicle
safety performance.
NISSAN and third parties entrusted by
NISSAN will not disclose/provide the re-
corded data to a third party except:
∙ With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee In re-
sponse to an official request by the po-
lice, a court of law or a government of-
fice.
∙ For use as part of NISSAN’s defense of litigation
∙ For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle
owner
