EXTERIOR FRONT

do not change the front seats by
placing material on the seat cushion
or by installing additional trim mate-
rial, such as seat covers, on the seat
that is not specifically designed to
assure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any objects
under the front passenger seat or the
seat cushion and seatback. Such
objects may interfere with the proper
operation of the occupant classifica-
tion sensors.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the seat belt system. This may affect
the front air bag system. Tampering
with the seat belt system may result
in serious personal injury.
. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and
around the front air bag. It is also
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for installation of electrical
equipment. The Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or
disconnected. Unauthorized electrical
test equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the air bag
system. .
A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified
repair facility. A cracked windshield
could affect the function of the
supplemental air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the front air bag
system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

ROOF RACK
Do not apply any load directly to the roof
side rails. Cross bars must be installed before
applying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of
the vehicle. Genuine INFINITI accessory
cross bars are available through an INFINITI
retailer. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 221 lb (100 kg), however do not
exceed the accessory cross bars load capa-
city.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR frontand rear). The GVWR and GAWR are
located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S.
certification label (located on the driver’s
door pillar). For additional information re-
garding GVWR and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle
loading information” (P.10-15).
WARNING
.
Always install the cross bars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof
may cause vehicle damage.
. Drive extra carefully when the vehicle
is loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
roof rack.
. Heavy loading of the roof rack has
the potential to affect the vehicle
stability and handling during sudden
or unusual handling maneuvers.
. Roof rack load should be evenly
distributed.
. Do not exceed maximum roof rack
load weight capacity.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
Instruments and controls2-67

and fade, resulting in loss of control
and an accident. Apply brakes lightly
and use a low range to control your
speed.
. Unsecured cargo can be thrown
around when driving over rough
terrain. Properly secure all cargo so
it will not be thrown forward and
cause injury to you or your passen-
gers.
. To avoid raising the center of gravity
excessively, do not exceed the rated
capacity of the roof rack (if so
equipped) and evenly distribute the
load. Secure heavy loads in the cargo
area as far forward and as low as
possible. Do not equip the vehicle
with tires larger than specified in this
manual. This could cause your vehicle
to roll over.
. Do not grip the inside or spokes of the
steering wheel when driving off-
road. The steering wheel could move
suddenly and injure your hands. In-
stead drive with your fingers and
thumbs on the outside of the rim.
. Before operating the vehicle, ensure
that the driver and all passengers
have their seat belts fastened.
. Always drive with the floor mats in
place as the floor may became hot. .
Lower your speed when encountering
strong crosswinds. With a higher
center of gravity, your INFINITI is
more affected by strong side winds.
Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.
. Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires, even with
4WD engaged.
. For 4WD equipped vehicles, do not
attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with the
engine running. Doing so may result
in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result
in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
. Do not attempt to test a 4WD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-
namometer (such as the dynam-
ometers used by some states for
emissions testing), or similar equip-
ment even if the other two wheels are
raised off the ground. Make sure you
inform test facility personnel that
your vehicle is equipped with 4WD
before it is placed on a dynamometer.
Using the wrong test equipment may
result in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which could result in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury (4WD models).
. When a wheel is off the ground due
to an unlevel surface, do not spin the
wheel excessively.
. Accelerating quickly, sharp steering
maneuvers or sudden braking may
cause loss of control.
. If at all possible, avoid sharp turning
maneuvers, particularly at high
speeds. Your vehicle has a higher
center of gravity than a conventional
passenger car. The vehicle is not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger
cars. Failure to operate this vehicle
correctly could result in loss of con-
trol and/or a rollover accident.
. Always use tires of the same type,
size, brand, construction (bias, bias-
belted or radial), and tread pattern
on all four wheels. Install tire chains
on the rear wheels when driving on
slippery roads and drive carefully.
. Be sure to check the brakes immedi-
ately after driving in mud or water.
See “Brake system” (P.5-123) for
wet brakes.
. Avoid parking your vehicle on steep
hills. If you get out of the vehicle and
