FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down
hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The low fuel warning comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low. Refill the fuel tank once the Low Fuel
warning indicator in the vehicle information
display illuminates as indicated by
Low
Fuel.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the driver's side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
• If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
After a few driving trips. the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
•
For additional information, see “Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-15).
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the vehicle
can be driven before refueling. The value is
calculated based on recent fuel economy, the
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank, and
the actual fuel consumption. Changes in driving patterns or conditions can
cause the DTE value to vary. As a result, the
value displayed may differ from the actual
distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the fuel
level in the tank is getting low, prior to the fuel
gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE:
• The DTE value after refill is estimated
based on recent fuel economy and amount
of fuel added.
• If a small amount of fuel is added, or the ignition is on during refueling, the display
may not be updated.
• Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated DTE value
(city/highway driving, idle time, remote
start time, terrain, seasonal weather,
added vehicle weight, added deflectors,
roof racks, etc.).

INFINITI accessory crossbars may be avail-
able through an INFINITI retailer. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 165 lbs. (74 kg.), however do not ex-
ceed the crossbars load capacity.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front
and rear).
For additional information regarding GVWR
and GAWR, refer to:
• F.M.V.S.S. or C.M.V.S.S. certification label(located on the driver’s door pillar).Installing crossbars (if so equipped)
WARNING
• It is recommended that you have the roof
rack crossbars installed by an INFINITI
retailer.
• Make sure the moonroof (if so equipped)
is in the closed position during the instal-
lation process.
• Protect the painted area on the vehicle’s
roof under the crossbars by placing a
piece of cloth under the cross bars to pre-
vent scratch damage.
• Do not load the crossbars more than the
rated load capacity and always distrib-
ute the load uniformly.
The roof rack crossbars may be installed or
removed. Use an L shaped allen key to install
and remove the crossbars. 1. Manually remove the protective covers
from the roof side rails.

• While pulling up the electronic parkingbrake switch during driving, the parking
brake is applied and a chime sounds. The
electronic parking brake indicator light
(red) in the meter and in the parking brake
switch illuminates. This does not indicate a
malfunction. The electronic parking brake
indicator light (red) in the meter and in the
parking brake switch turns off when the
parking brake is released.
• When pulling the electronic parking brake switch up with the ignition switch in the
OFF or AUTO ACC position, the parking
brake switch indicator light will continue
to illuminate for a short period of time.
WHEN TOWING A TRAILER
Depending on the weight of the vehicle and
trailer and the steepness of the slope, there
may be a tendency for the vehicle to move
backwards when starting from a standstill.
When this occurs, you can use the parking
brake switch in the same way as a conven-
tional lever type parking brake.
Before starting on sloping roads when tow-
ing a trailer, be sure to read the following to
prevent the vehicle from moving backwards
unintentionally.
• Release the parking brake switch as soonas the engine is delivering enough torque to
the wheels. The automatic brake hold function maintains
the braking force without the driver having to
depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is
stopped at a traffic light or intersection. As
soon as the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal again, the automatic brake hold func-
tion is deactivated and the braking force is
released. The operating status of automatic
brake hold can be displayed.
To use the automatic brake hold function, the
following conditions need to be met:
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The electronic parking brake is released.
• The vehicle is not in the P (Park) position.
• The vehicle is not parked on a steep hill.WARNING
• The automatic brake hold function is not
designed to hold the vehicle on a steep
hill or slippery road. Never use the auto-
matic brake hold when the vehicle is
stopped on a steep hill or slippery road.
Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to
move.
• Warnings may appear to request that
the driver retake control by depressing
the brake pedal. •
When the automatic brake hold function
is activated but fails to maintain the ve-
hicle at a standstill, depress the brake
pedal to stop the vehicle. If the vehicle
unexpectedly moves due to outside con-
ditions, the chime may sound and warn-
ings may appear.
• Be sure to deactivate the automatic
brake hold function when using a car
wash or towing your vehicle.
• Make sure to push the park button to
shift to the P (Park) position and apply
the parking brake when parking your ve-
hicle, entering or exiting the vehicle, or
loading luggage. Failure to do so could
cause the vehicle to move or roll away
unexpectedly and result in serious per-
sonal injury or property damage.
WARNING
• If any of the following conditions occur,
the automatic brake hold function may
not function. Have the system checked
promptly. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
– A warning message appears.
– The indicator light on the automatic
brake hold switch does not illuminate
when the switch is pushed.
AUTOMATIC BRAKE HOLD
5-26Starting and driving

Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
• Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an accident.
•
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-
tion label. The vehicle weight ca-
pacity is indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Do not
load your vehicle beyond this ca-
pacity. Overloading your vehicle
may result in reduced tire life, un-
safe operating conditions due to
premature tire failure, or unfavor-
able handling characteristics and
could also lead to a serious acci-
dent. Loading beyond the specified
capacity may also result in failure
of other vehicle components.
• Before taking a long trip, or when-
ever you heavily load your vehicle,
use a tire pressure gauge to ensure
that the tire pressures are at the
specified level.
•
For additional information regard-
ing tires, refer to “Important Tire
Safety Information” (US) or “Tire
Safety Information” (Canada) in
the Warranty Information Booklet.
