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.

3-32Pre-driving checks and adjustments
The memory seat system has three features:
• Memory storage function (Key-link) (if soequipped)
• Memory storage function (Switch)
• Entry/exit function
Key-link (if so equipped), when enabled, au-
tomatically retains the driver’s or passenger’s
(if so equipped) last seat, automatic steering
wheel, and outside mirror positions for that
specific key when the ignition is positioned
from ON to OFF.
Each memory switch button (1 or 2) on the
driver’s door or passenger’s door (if so
equipped) can also store one additional posi-
tion which is independent of the key-linked
position.
MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
Two positions for the driver's seat, steering
wheel, and outside mirrors or passenger’s
seat (if so equipped) can be stored in the
memory seat system.
NOTE:
• The vehicle should be stopped while set- ting the memory.
• The driver’s and passenger’s memory stor- age functions are separate from each
other. Follow these procedures to use the memory
system.
1. Place the ignition in the ON or ACC
position.
2. Adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors or passenger’s seat (if
so equipped) to the desired positions by
manually operating each adjusting switch.
For additional information, see “Seats”
(P. 1-2), “Steering wheel” (P. 3-30) and
“Outside mirrors” (P. 3-41).
3. Push the SET switch and, within 5 sec- onds, push the memory switch (1 or 2).
4. The indicator light for the pushed memory switch will come ON and stay ON for
approximately 5 seconds.
5. The chime will sound when the memory has been stored.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is stored in the
same memory switch, the previous memory
position will be overwritten by the new
stored position.

• Push the SET switch.
• If a memory position has been stored in theswitch (1 or 2) then the indicator light for
the respective switch will stay on for ap-
proximately 5 seconds.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver's
seat and automatic operation steering wheel
will automatically move. This allows the
driver to get into and out of the driver’s seat
more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up:
• When the driver’s door is opened with theignition switch placed in the OFF position.
• When the ignition switch is changed from ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will re-
turn to the previous position:
• When the ignition switch is changed from ACC or ON while the shift position is in the
P (Park) position. The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through “Vehicle Settings” in the ve-
hicle information display by performing the
following:
• Switch the Exit Seat Slide from “On” to
“Off”.
• Switch the Exit Steering Up from “On” to “Off”.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.
To use the memory function, set the climate,
navigation and audio systems to the driver's
preferred settings. Lock the doors with the
Intelligent Key. Each Intelligent Key may be
set with the driver's individual preferences.
When a new Intelligent Key is used, “Connec-
tion with the key has been done” will be dis-
played on the vehicle information display and
the memorized settings are available.
To engage the memorized settings, perform
the following:
1. Carry the Intelligent Key that is linked to the memorized settings. 2. Unlock the doors by wrapping hand
around the capacitive door handle or the
button on the Intelligent Key.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion. The settings linked to the Intelligent
Key will start. .

(P. 4-29).
SYSTEM OPERATION
The memory seat system will not work or will
stop operating under the following
conditions:
• When the vehicle speed is above 4 mph (7 km/h).
• When any of the memory switches are pushed while the memory seat is operating.
• When the switch for the driver’s seat, steering wheel or passenger’s seat (if so
equipped) is pushed while the memory seat
is operating.
• When the seat has already been moved to the memorized position.
• When no seat position is stored in the memory switch.
• When the shift position is moved from P (Park) to any other position.
3-44Pre-driving checks and adjustments
Parking brake:Check the parking brake op-
eration regularly. The vehicle should be se-
curely held on a fairly steep hill with only the
parking brake applied. If the parking brake
needs adjustment, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat
belt system (for example, buckles, anchors,
adjusters and retractors) operate properly
and smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying,
wear or damage.
Seats: Check seat position controls such as
seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc., to en-
sure they operate smoothly and all latches
lock securely in every position. Check that the
head restraints/headrests move up and
down smoothly and the locks (if so equipped)
hold securely in all latched positions.
Steering wheel: Check for changes in the
steering system, such as excessive free play,
hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes: Make sure all
warning lights and chimes are operating
properly.
Windshield defroster: Check that the air
comes out of the defroster outlets properly
and in sufficient quantity when operating the
heater or air conditioner. Windshield wiper and washer*:
Check that
the wipers and washer operate properly and
that the wipers do not streak.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery (for maintenance free batteries)*:
This vehicle is equipped with a sealed main-
tenance free battery. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.).
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
Brake fluid level*: Make sure that the brake
fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines
on the reservoir. Engine coolant level*:
Check the coolant level
when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belt*: Make sure the drive belt is
not frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking
the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine. Wait more than 15 minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
Exhaust system: Make sure there are no
loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound
of the exhaust seems unusual or there is a
smell of exhaust fumes, immediately have the
exhaust system inspected. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. For additional information, see “Ex-
haust gas (carbon monoxide)” (P. 5-4).
Fluid leaks: Check under the vehicle for fuel,
oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping
from the air conditioner after use is normal. If
you should notice any leaks or if fuel fumes
are evident, check for the cause and have it
corrected immediately.
Radiator and hoses: Check the front of the
radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves,
etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure
the hoses have no cracks, deformation, rot or
loose connections.
