• If the sonar sensors are dirty, wipe them offwith a soft cloth while being careful to not
damage them.
• The sonar sensors may be blocked by tem- porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog. The blocked condi-
tion may also be caused by objects such as
ice, frost or dirt obstructing the sonar sen-
sors. Check for and remove objects ob-
structing the area around the sonar
sensors.
• Do not subject the area around the sonar sensors to strong impact. Also, do not re-
move or disassemble the sonar sensors. If
the sonar sensors and peripheral areas are
deformed in an accident, etc., have the so-
nar sensors checked by an INFINITI retailer.
• Do not attach stickers (including transpar- ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint on the sonar sensors and
their surrounding areas. This may cause a
malfunction or improper operation.
• When washing the vehicle using a high- pressure washer, do not apply direct
washer pressure on the sonar sensors. This
may cause a malfunction of the sonar
sensors. The Idling Stop System activates to prevent
unnecessary fuel consumption, exhaust
emissions and noise.
• When you stop the vehicle, the engine is
turned off automatically.
• When you release the brake pedal to begin moving again, the engine is turned on
automatically.
WARNING
The engine restarts if the vehicle moves at
approximately 1 mph (2 km/h) or more (on
a downhill grade, etc.) while the engine is
turned off by the Idling Stop System. De-
press the brake pedal immediately to stop
the vehicle to prevent an accident.
CAUTION
At the end of the journey the engine must
be stopped and ignition switch be pushed
off. Lock the vehicle as normal. Pushing the
ignition switch off will shut down all elec-
trical systems. Failure to do this may result
in a discharged battery.
NOTE:
The Idling Stop System will not activate un-
der the following conditions:
• When the engine is kept idling without the
vehicle being driven after the engine is
turned on.
• When the engine coolant temperature is
low.
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the battery temperature is low.
• When the vehicle is moving.
• When a negative pressure booster
decreases.
• When the engine hood is opened with the
engine running.
• When the engine is turned on with the en-
gine hood open.
• When the driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• When the driver’s door is open.
• When the steering wheel is operated.
• When the Idling Stop System indicator
blinks at a low speed.
•
When the fan speed control is in any position
other than “OFF,” (0) while the air flow con-
trol is in the front defogger position.
• When the front defroster switch is on.

•When the temperature inside the vehicle is
higher than approximately 86°F (30°C),
unless the Air Conditioning ECO custom-
ize option is selected, and the ECO driving
mode is on. (When the air conditioner is
off, the Idling Stop System will operate.)
• When the front defroster is turned on.
• When more than 3 minutes have elapsed
since the Idling Stop System was active.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• When the steering wheel is operated. (The
steering wheel operation may become
heavy, but this is not a malfunction.)
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the power consumption is high.
• When the shift lever is any range other
than D (Drive).
• When the Idling Stop OFF switch is
pushed.
• When the negative pressure of the brake
system is not sufficiently applied by de-
pressing the brake pedal several times.
NOTE:
The Idling Stop System may not active when
the Intelligent Key is not in the vehicle and
you open/close any door.
NOTE:
The following condition will prevent the
Idling Stop System from automatically re-
starting the engine. Starting the engine with
the ignition switch operation is then
necessary:
• The hood is open.
Use this system while waiting at a stop light,
etc. When the vehicle is stopped for long
periods of time, turn off the engine.
When the engine is stopped by the Idling Stop
System, heating, cooling and dehumidifying
functions will be deactivated. To avoid the air
conditioning functions from being deacti-
vated, turn off the Idling Stop System by
pushing the Idling Stop OFF switch.
RETROGRADE MOVEMENT
CONTROL FUNCTION
This system is designed to reduce the retro-
grade movement that occurs while the driv-
er’s foot changes from depressing the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal when moving
the vehicle while the Idling Stop System is
active on a hilly road.
IDLING STOP SYSTEM DISPLAY
The status of the Idling Stop System can be
checked in the vehicle information display.

3. Replace the battery with a new one.Recommended battery: CR2032 or
equivalent.
• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric terminals as doing so could
cause a malfunction.
• Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the battery across the contact points
will seriously deplete the storage
capacity.
• Make sure that the + side faces the bot- tom of the lower part.
4. Close the lid securely as illustrated with
OCandOD.
5. Operate the buttons to check the operation.
If you need assistance with replacement, it is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
