A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the
liftgate. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch
strip during power close, the liftgate will
reverse direction and return to the full open
position.
NOTE:
If the pinch strip is damaged or removed, the
power close function will not operate.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which can-
not be detected. Make sure that all passen-
gers have their hands, etc., inside the
vehicle before closing the liftgate.
If the liftgate power operation fails to close
correctly, it can still be manually closed and
secured. If the liftgate fails to open correctly
when the request switch is pressed, please

assistance.
If the liftgate is not functioning, the gate may
be closed manually. If power operation does
not recover, please make an appointment
with your INFINITI retailer.

(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:
Tow hitches are available as an accessory for
this vehicle. Please visit an INFINITI retailer
for additional equipment required for this
accessory.
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.

• Three beeps will sound and the liftgate willbegin moving within two seconds after the
kick.
CAUTION
Before performing the kicking motion,
steady your stance to prevent any loss of
balance. Also, while making the kicking
motion, take caution around hot exhaust
system parts. Otherwise, there may be
danger of injury.
WARNING
Prevent unintentional liftgate opening/
closing. There may be conditions when
opening/closing the liftgate is not desired.
Keep the Intelligent Key out of range of the
liftgate, (31.5 in or 80 cm), when washing
or working around the back of the vehicle.
CAUTION
• Interference or malfunction can be
caused by parking in close proximity to
radio or satellite towers.
• Intelligent Key interference could be
caused if you have your key fob stored
next to your cell phone or any RF-
enabled smart card. For additional infor-
mation, see “INFINITI Intelligent Key”
(P. 3-2).
LIFTGATE RELEASE
WARNING
• Always be sure the liftgate has been
closed securely to prevent it from open-
ing while driving.
• Do not drive with the liftgate open. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to
be drawn into the vehicle. For additional
information, see “Exhaust gas (carbon
monoxide)” (P. 5-4).
• To avoid personal injury, do not attempt
to activate the power liftgate if one or
both of the liftgate struts are removed.LPD3264
DO: Quick forward kick and return while the key fob is within range

OPENING THE FUEL-FILLER
DOOR
To open the fuel-filler door, push the right
side of the fuel-filler door to release.
WARNING
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled. Al-
ways stop the engine and do not smoke
or allow open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling. •
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off au-
tomatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
• 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 con-
tainers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION
• Do not use a fuel containing more than
15% ethanol in your vehicle. For addi-
tional information, see “Fuel recommen-
dation” (P. 10-4).
•
For additional information, see “Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-19).
• If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush
it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
HOW TO REFUEL
The fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel filler
cap. After opening the fuel-filler door, insert
the fuel pump nozzle directly into the fuel-
filler opening. When the fuel pump nozzle is
pulled out, the fuel filler opening will be
sealed.
To refuel:
Be sure to insert the fuel pump nozzle slowly
in to the fuel-filler opening as far as it will go
before fueling.
LPD3158LPD3273
3-28Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Never move the nozzle during the refueling.
Pull out the nozzle approximately 5 seconds
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off auto-
matically (initial shut-off).
Close the fuel-filler door after refueling.
If you need to refuel from a portable fuel
container, use the funnel supplied with your
vehicle. (see “When refueling from a portable
fuel container” (P. 3-30).
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to open the flaps on the
fuel-filler opening using any tool other
than the fuel pump nozzle.
• This fuel-filler opening is only conform-
able to normal fuel pump nozzles at gas
stations. Using a nozzle with a small di-
ameter may damage the opening and the
fuel system.
• If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush
it away with water to avoid paint
damage.

WHEN REFUELING FROM A
PORTABLE FUEL CONTAINER
If you need to refuel from a portable fuel
container, use the funnel
OAstored in the tool
bag (located under the luggage board). Be sure to insert the funnel into the fuel-filler
opening slowly and fully. Insert the nozzle of
the portable fuel container into the opening
along the funnel and fill the fuel tank.
After refueling, remove the funnel from the
fuel-filler opening. Wipe the funnel clean and
return it to the tool bag.
CAUTION
• Do not insert the nozzle of the portable
fuel container directly into the fuel-filler
opening. Doing so may damage the
opening and the fuel system.
• Use only the funnel provided with your
vehicle. Otherwise the fuel-filler opening
and the fuel system may be damaged.
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 comfort. 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 steer-
ing wheel. Always use the seat belts.
