•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to
people or pets.
NOTE:
To open, close or reverse the power liftgate,
engage the P (Park) position. Also, the
power liftgate will not operate if the battery
voltage is low.
Power Open:
The power liftgate automatically moves from
the fully closed position to the fully open
position in approximately 5 to 8 seconds. The
power open feature can be activated by the
switch on the Intelligent Key, the instrument
panel switch or the liftgate opener switch
OA.
A chime sounds to indicate the power open
sequence has been started. • When the vehicle is locked, the liftgate can
be opened by the instrument panel switch,
Intelligent Key and liftgate opener switch
OA(with the Intelligent Key in liftgate op-
eration range). The liftgate will individually
unlock and open. Once the liftgate is
closed, the vehicle will remain unlocked. To
lock the liftgate, press the
button on
the Intelligent Key.
• To open the liftgate with the Intelligent Key, hold the button for 1 second.
• To open the liftgate with the instrument panel switch, hold the button for 1 second.
• To open the liftgate with the liftgate opener switch
OA, the liftgate must be un-
locked if the Intelligent Key is not in liftgate
operation range.LPD3182

Manual Mode:
If power operation is not available, the lift-
gate may be operated manually. Power op-
eration may not be available if multiple ob-
stacles have been detected in a single power
cycle or if the battery voltage is low.
If the power liftgate opener switch
OAis
pushed during power open or close, the
power operation will be canceled and the
liftgate can be operated manually.
To open the liftgate manually, unlock the
doors, push the liftgate opener switch
OAand
lift the liftgate. To close, lower and push the liftgate down
securely.
MOTION-ACTIVATED LIFTGATE
(if so equipped)
The liftgate can be operated using a quick
kicking motion under the center of the rear
bumper.
To operate, the Intelligent Key must be within
31.5 in (80 cm) of the liftgate.
NOTE:
Lifestyle Receiver is available as an acces-
sory for this vehicle. If a Lifestyle Receiver is
installed, the liftgate electronic control unit
(ECU) needs to be replaced with an ECU pro-
grammed for the Motion-Activated Lift-
gate to function properly.
Proper operation technique
• While at the rear of the vehicle, begin mak-
ing a quick forward kicking motion.
• Raise your foot straight under the center of the rear bumper then immediately return
your foot to the ground in a continuous
motion.
• The kicking motion should be straight, smooth and consistent.
• After your kick motion is complete, step back and allow the liftgate to open/close.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-25
•Do not activate the power liftgate if one
or both of the liftgate struts are re-
moved. Damage to the liftgate or power
liftgate mechanisms may occur.
• Keep the power liftgate main switch (if
so equipped) in the OFF position when
washing or working around the back of
the vehicle (with Intelligent Key) to pre-
vent inadvertent opening/closing.
Power liftgate release
If the liftgate cannot be opened with the
instrument panel switch, liftgate opener
switch or key fob due to a discharged battery,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the cover
OAon the inside of the
liftgate.
2. Move the lever
OBas illustrated to open
the liftgate.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer as soon as possible for repair.
LIFTGATE POSITION SETTING
The liftgate can be set to open to a specific
height (garage mode) by performing the fol-
lowing:
1. Open the liftgate using the liftgate opener switch or the Intelligent Key.
2. Pull the liftgate down and move to the desired height position (the liftgate will
have some resistance when being manu-
ally adjusted).

Linking log-in function to a stored
memory position
The log-in function can be linked to a stored
memory position with the following
procedure.
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi-tion while carrying the Intelligent Key that
was registered to the vehicle with a log-in
function.
NOTE:Make sure the Intelligent Keys are far apart.
Otherwise, the vehicle may detect the
wrong Intelligent Key.
2. Adjust the position of the driver’s seat, steering column and outside mirrors. For
additional information, see “Seats”
(P. 1-2), “Steering wheel” (P. 3-32) and
“Outside mirrors” (P. 3-35).
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
The next time you log in (selecting the user on
the display) after placing the ignition switch in
the ON position while carrying the Intelligent
Key, the system will automatically adjust to
the memorized driving position. For additional information, see the separate
INFINITI InTouch™ Owner’s Manual and
“Log-in function” (P. 3-18).
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver's
seat and steering column will automatically
move when the vehicle is engaged in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to easily
get in and out of the driver’s seat.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering column will move up when the igni-
tion is switched to OFF and the driver’s door
is opened.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will re-
turn to the previous position when the igni-
tion is switched to ON.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through the “Comfort & Conve-
nience” options of the “Settings” menu in the
lower touch-screen display by performing the
following:
• Switch the Lift Steering upon Exit from ON
to OFF.
• Switch the Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit from ON to OFF.
For additional information, refer to the sepa-
rate INFINITI InTouch™ Owner’s Manual.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the stored memory positions will
be lost and some of the functions will be
restricted:
1. Drive the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h).
OR
2. Open and close the driver's door more than two times with the ignition switch in
the OFF position.
The entry/exit function should now work
properly.
SETTING MEMORY FUNCTION
The position of the following settings can be
linked to the Intelligent Key and the memo-
rized settings can be available for each Intel-
ligent Key.

• Navigation system
• Audio system
