FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or ser-
iously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks near the vehicle when refuel-
ing.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically. Continued refuel-
ing may cause fuel overflow, resulting
in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
. 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 in-
correct cap can result in a serious malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the malfunction
indicator light 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 containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage. .
Insert the cap straight into the fuel-
filler tube, then tighten until the fuel-
filler cap clicks. Failure to tighten the
fuel-filler cap properly may cause the
malfunction indicator light (MIL)
to illuminate. If thelight illumi-
nates 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 thelight does
not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
. The Loose Fuel Cap warning will
appear if the fuel-filler cap is not
properly tightened. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be
displayed. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the Loose
Fuel Cap warning appears may cause
the
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) to illuminate.
Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a
single click is heard.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-27

WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver’s air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious or
fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.

SET/memory switches
The automatic drive positioner system has
three features:
. Entry/exit function
. Memory storage
. Setting memory function
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and steering column will automatically
move when the automatic transmission 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 driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ACC posi-
tion.
The driver’s seat will not return to the
previous positions if the seat or steering
adjusting switch is operated when the seat is
at the exit position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit func-
tion
The shift lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
The entry/exit function can be activated or
canceled by pressing 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 upon Exit” key or “Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit”
key is turned to ON or OFF in the [Settings]
menu on the lower display. (See INFINITI
InTouch
TMOwner’s Manual.)
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 turned from the ON
position to the LOCK position. The entry/
exit function will be activated.
MEMORY STORAGE
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored in
the automatic drive positioner memory.
Follow these procedures to use the memory
system.
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column and outside mirrors to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each adjust-
ing switch. For additional information,
see “Seats” (P.1-3) and “Tilt/telescopic
steering” (P.3-29) and “Outside mirrors”
(P.3-36).

memory position with the following proce-
dure.

position and push the SET switch. If the
main memory has not been stored, the
indicator light will come on for approxi-
mately 0.5 second. When the memory
has stored in position, the indicator light
will stay on for approximately 5 seconds.
. If the battery cable is disconnected, or if
the fuse opens, the memory will be
canceled. In this case, reset the desired
position using the previous procedure.
. If optional Intelligent Keys are added to
your vehicle, the memory storage proce-
dure to switch 1 or 2 and linking
Intelligent Key procedure to a stored
memory position should be performed
again for each Intelligent Key. For addi-
tional Intelligent Key information, see
“Keys” (P.3-2).
