FOREWORD READ FIRST—THEN DRIVE SAFELY

For descriptions specified for all-wheel drive
models, anAWDmark is placed at the begin-
ning of the applicable sections/items.
As with other vehicles with features for off-
road use, failure to operate all-wheel drive
models correctly may result in loss of control
or an accident. For additional information,
see “Driving safety precautions” (P. 5-10).
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver dif-
ferently from an ordinary passenger car
because it has a higher center of gravity for
off-road use. As with other vehicles with
features of this type, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of con-
trol or an accident.
For additional information, see “On- pave-
ment and off-road driving precautions”
(P. 5-8), “Avoiding collision and roll- over”
(P. 5-8) and “Driving safety precautions”
(P. 5-10).
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Modi-
fication could affect its performance,
safety, emissions or durability and may
even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance problems
resulting from modifications may not be
covered under INFINITI warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diag-
nostic (OBD) plug-in device that uses the
port during normal driving, for example
remote insurance company monitoring,
remote vehicle diagnostics, telematics or
engine reprogramming, may cause inter-
ference or damage to vehicle systems. We
do not recommend or endorse the use of
any aftermarket OBD plug-in devices, un-
less specifically approved by INFINITI. The
vehicle warranty may not cover damage
caused by any aftermarket plug-in device. This manual includes information for all fea-
tures and equipment available on this model.
Features and equipment in your vehicle may
vary depending on model, trim level, options
selected, order, date of production, region or
availability. Therefore, you may find informa-
tion about features or equipment that are not
included or installed on your vehicle.

tions in this manual are those in effect at the
