[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

GUID-2F2D27F5-65B6-4D66-A0F7-BF158B86DF44

Your INFINITI represents a new way of

thinking about vehicle design. It integrates

advanced engineering and superior crafts-

manship with a simple, refined aesthetic

sensitivity associated with traditional Ja-

panese culture.

The result is a different notion of luxury

and beauty. The car itself is important, but

so is the sense of harmony that the vehicle

evokes in its driver, and the sense of

satisfaction you feel with the INFINITI —

from the way it looks and drives to the high

level of retailer service.

To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to

the fullest, we encourage you to read this

Owner’s Manual immediately. It explains

all of the features, controls and perfor-

mance characteristics of your INFINITI; it

also provides important instructions and

safety information.

A separate Warranty Information Booklet

is included in your Owner’s literature

portfolio. Always carry it with you when

you take your vehicle to an INFINITI

retailer. The Warranty Information Booklet

contents provide complete information

about all warranties covering this vehicle,

the requirements to keep the warranties in

effect as well as the INFINITI Roadside

Assistance program.

Additionally, a separate Customer Care

and Lemon Law Information Booklet will

explain how to resolve any concerns you

may have with your vehicle, as well as

clarify your rights under your state’s

lemon law.

In addition to factory installed options,

your vehicle may also be equipped with

additional accessories installed by INFINITI

or by your INFINITI retailer prior to delivery.

It is important that you familiarize yourself

with all disclosures, warnings, cautions

and instructions concerning proper use of

such accessories prior to operating the

vehicle and/or accessory. See an INFINITI

retailer for details concerning the particu-

lar accessories with which your vehicle is

equipped.

READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE SAFELY

GUID-528982C0-019C-4EF8-8549-CC460F948AB8

Before driving your vehicle, read your

Owner’s Manual carefully. This will ensure

familiarity with controls and maintenance

requirements, assisting you in the safe

operation of your vehicle.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD

DRIVING

This vehicle will handle and maneuver

differently from an ordinary passenger

car because it has a higher center of

gravity. As with other vehicles with

features of this type, failure to operate

this vehicle correctly may result in loss of

control or an accident. Be sure to read

“On-pavement and off-road driving pre-

cautions”, “Avoiding collision and roll-

over” and “Driving safety precautions” in

the “5. Starting and driving” section of

this manual.

MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE

This vehicle should not be modified.

Modification could affect its performance,

safety or durability, and may even violate

governmental regulations. In addition,

damage or performance problems result-

ing from modification will not be covered

under the INFINITI warranties.

WARNING

Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diagnos-

tic (OBD) plug-in device that uses the port

during normal driving, for example remote

insurance company monitoring, remote ve-

hicle diagnostics, telematics or engine

reprogramming, may cause interference or

damage to vehicle systems. We do not

recommend or endorse the use of any

aftermarket OBD plug-in devices, unless

specifically approved by INFINITI. The vehi-

cle warranty may not cover damage caused

by any aftermarket plug-in device.

WARNING

.Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the

seatback is reclined. This can be danger-

ous. The shoulder belt will not be against

your body. In an accident, you could be

thrown into it and receive neck or other

serious injuries. You could also slide

under the lap belt and receive serious

internal injuries.

.For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should

be upright. Always sit well back and

upright in the seat with both feet on the

floor and adjust the seat properly. See

“Precautions on seat belt usage”(P.1-

12).

.After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

.Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly

activate switches or controls. Unat-

tended children could become involved

in serious accidents.

.To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the

vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave

children, people who require the assis-

tance of others or pets unattended in

your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-

ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm

day can quickly become high enough to

cause a significant risk of injury or death

to people and pets.

.The seatback should not be reclined

further than necessary for comfort. Seat

belts are most effective when the pas-

senger sits well back and straight up in

the seat. If the seat back is reclined, the

risk of sliding under the lap belt and

being injured is increased.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-

STRAINT

GUID-DC5E8063-3B9A-4C83-A93E-0B9331F19AA9

The Active Head Restraint moves forward

utilizing the force that the seatback re-

ceives from the occupant in a rear-end

collision. The movement of the head

restraint helps support the occupant’s

head by reducing its backward movement

and helping absorb some of the forces that

may lead to whiplash-type injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective for

collisions at low to medium speeds in

which it is said that whiplash injury occurs

most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in

certain rear-end collisions. After the colli-

sion, the head restraints return to their

original positions.

Adjust the Active Head Restraints properly

as described earlier in this section.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE

GUID-53033382-24C5-452D-A530-C795862757C9

If you are wearing your seat belt properly

adjusted, and you are sitting upright and

well back in your seat with both feet on the

floor, your chances of being injured or

killed in an accident and/or the severity of

injury may be greatly reduced. INFINITI

strongly encourages you and all of your

passengers to buckle up every time you

drive, even if your seating position in-

cludes a supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces

or territories specify that seat belts be

worn at all times when a vehicle is being

driven.

WARNING

.Every person who drives or rides in this

vehicle should use a seat belt at all

times. Children should be properly re-

strained in the rear seat and, if appro-

priate, in a child restraint.

.The seat belt should be properly ad-

justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so may

reduce the effectiveness of the entire

restraint system and increase the chance

or severity of injury in an accident.

Serious injury or death can occur if the

seat belt is not worn properly.

.Always route the shoulder belt over your

shoulder and across your chest. Never

put the belt behind your back, under

your arm or across your neck. The belt

should be away from your face and neck,

but not falling off your shoulder.

.Position the lap belt as low and snug as

possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE

WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could

increase the risk of internal injuries in an

accident.

.Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely

fastened to the proper buckle.

.Do not wear the seat belt inside out or

twisted. Doing so may reduce its effec-

tiveness.

.Do not allow more than one person to

use the same seat belt.

.Never carry more people in the vehicle

than there are seat belts.

.If the seat belt warning light glows

continuously while the ignition is turned

ON with all doors closed and all seat

belts fastened, it may indicate a mal-

function in the system. Have the system

checked. It is recommended you visit an

INFINITI retailer for this service.

.No changes should be made to the seat

belt system. For example, do not modify

the seat belt, add material or install

devices that may change the seat belt

routing or tension. Doing so may affect

the operation of the seat belt system.

Modifying or tampering with the seat

belt system may result in serious perso-

nal injury.

.Once a seat belt pretensioner has

activated, it cannot be reused and must

be replaced together with the retractor.

It is recommended you visit an INFINITI

retailer for this service.

.All seat belt assemblies, including re-

tractors and attaching hardware, should

be inspected after any collision. It is

recommended you visit an INFINITI re-

tailer for this service. INFINITI recom-

mends that all seat belt assemblies in

use during a collision be replaced unless

the collision was minor and the belts

show no damage and continue to oper-

ate properly.

Seat belt assemblies not in use during a

collision should also be inspected and

replaced if either damage or improper

operation is noted.

.All child restraints and attaching hard-

ware should be inspected after any

collision. Always follow the restraint

manufacturer’s inspection instructions

and replacement recommendations. The

child restraints should be replaced if

they are damaged.

times.

.Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the

seatback is reclined. This can be danger-

ous. The shoulder belt will not be against

.Do not allow children to play with the

seat belts. Most seating positions are

equipped with Automatic Locking Re-

tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the seat

belt becomes wrapped around a child’s

neck with the ALR mode activated, the

child can be seriously injured or killed if

the seat belt retracts and becomes tight.

This can occur even if the vehicle is

parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to release

the child. If the seat belt can not be

unbuckled or is already unbuckled,

release the child by cutting the seat belt

with a suitable tool (such as a knife or

scissors) to release the seat belt.

1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” (P.1-2).)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the

retractor and insert the tongue into the

buckle until you hear and feel the latch

engage.

The retractor is designed to lock

during a sudden stop or on impact. A

slow pulling motion permits the belt

to move, and allows you some free-

dom of movement in the seat.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled from

its fully retracted position, firmly

pull the belt and release it. Then

smoothly pull the belt out of the

retractor.

some freedom of movement in the seat.

The ELR locks the seat belt when the

vehicle slows down rapidly or during

impacts.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

mode (child restraint mode) locks the seat

belt for child restraint installation.

When the ALR mode is activated the seat

belt cannot be extended again until the

seat belt tongue is detached from the

buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt

returns to the ELR mode after the seat belt

fully retracts. For additional information,

see “Child restraints” (P.1-21).

The ALR mode should be used only for

child restraint installation. During normal

seat belt use by a passenger, the ALR

mode should not be activated. If it is

activated it may cause uncomfortable seat

belt tension.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

GUID-C578281C-EE09-4F4F-93E0-01FA0317A11F

.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution

recommended for cleaning upholstery

or carpets. Then, wipe with a cloth and

allow the seat belts to dry in the shade.

Do not allow the seat belts to retract

until they are completely dry.

.If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt

guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat

belts may retract slowly. Wipe the

shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry

cloth.

.Periodically check to see that the seat

belt and the metal components such as

buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible

wires and anchors work properly. If

loose parts, deterioration, cuts or other

damage on the webbing is found, the

entire seat belt assembly should be

replaced.

GUID-3EBC3DB8-1395-4216-9688-3BD09C97F155

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the seat

belts. Most seating positions are equipped

with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes

wrapped around a child’s neck with the ALR

mode activated, the child can be seriously

injured or killed if the seat belt retracts and

becomes tight. This can occur even if the

vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to

release the child. If the seat belt can not be

unbuckled or is already unbuckled, release

the child by cutting the seat belt with a

suitable tool (such as a knife or scissors) to

release the seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained.

In addition to the general information in

this manual, child safety information is

available from many other sources, includ-

ing doctors, teachers, government traffic

safety offices, and community organiza-

tions. Every child is different, so be sure to

learn the best way to transport your child.

CHILD SAFETY

Condition:

(39,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

There are three basic types of child

restraint systems:

.Rear-facing child restraint

.Front-facing child restraint

.Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the child’s

size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year

and less than 20 lb (9 kg) should be placed

in rear-facing child restraints. Front-facing

child restraints are available for children

who outgrow rear-facing child restraints

and are at least 1 year old. Booster seats

are used to help position a vehicle lap/

shoulder belt on a child who can no longer

use a front-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protection.

The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them

properly. The shoulder belt may come too

close to the face or neck. The lap belt may

not fit over their small hip bones. In an

accident, an improperly fitting seat belt

could cause serious or fatal injury. Always

use appropriate child restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require the use of approved

child restraints for infants and small

children. (See “Child restraints” (P.1-21).)

Also, there are other types of child

restraints available for larger children for

additional protection.

INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens

and children be restrained in the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seat than in the front seat.

This is especially important because your

vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-

tem (air bag system) for the front passen-

ger. (See “Supplemental restraint system”

(P.1-42).)

INFANTS

GUID-BC2707F1-5B93-41FC-B2CB-253DE02255F7

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be

placed in a rear-facing child restraint.

INFINITI recommends that infants be

placed in child restraints that comply with

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

You should choose a child restraint which

fits your vehicle and always follow the

manufacturer’s instructions for installation

and use.

SMALL CHILDREN

GUID-24BE0B66-730C-4BA6-A383-DF5CB44D581B

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh

at least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in a

rear-facing child restraint as long as

possible up to the height or weight limit

of the child restraint. Children who outgrow

the height or weight limit of the rear-facing

child restraint and are at least 1 year old

should be secured in a forward-facing child

restraint with a harness. Refer to the

manufacturer’s instructions for minimum

and maximum weight and height recom-

mendations. INFINITI recommends that

small children be placed in child restraints

that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehi-

cle Safety Standards. You should choose a

child restraint that fits your vehicle and

always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for installation and use.

LARGER CHILDREN

GUID-03A38D12-7EA0-4BD7-AF69-1D5D51557208

1-20 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

facing child restraint, INFINITI recommends

that the child be placed in a commercially

available booster seat to obtain proper

seat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit properly,

the booster seat should raise the child so

that the shoulder belt is properly posi-

tioned across the chest and the top, middle

portion of the shoulder. The shoulder belt

should not cross the neck or face and

should not fall off the shoulder.The lap belt

should lie snugly across the lower hips or

upper thighs, not the abdomen. A booster

seat can only be used in seating positions

that have a three-point type seat belt. The

booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and

have a label certifying that it complies with

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

A booster seat should be used until the

child can pass the seat belt fit test below:

.Are the child’s back and hips against

the vehicle seatback?

.Is the child able to sit without slouch-

ing?

.Do the child’s knees bend easily over

the front edge of the seat with feet flat

on the floor?

.Can the child safely wear the seat belt

(lap belt low and snug across the hips

and shoulder belt across mid-chest and

shoulder)?

.Is the child able to use the properly

adjusted head restraint/headrest?

.Will the child be able to stay in position

for the entire ride?

JVR0473X

If you answered no to any of these

questions, the child should remain in a

booster seat using a three-point type seat

belt.

NOTE:

Laws in some communities may follow

different guidelines. Check local and state

regulations to confirm your child is using

the correct restraint system before travel-

ing.

WARNING

.Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use and installa-

tion of child restraints could result in

serious injury or death of a child or other

passengers in a sudden stop or collision:

—

The child restraint must be used and

installed properly. Always follow all

of the child restraint manufacturer’s

instructions for installation and use.

—

Infants and children should never be

held on anyone’s lap. Even the

strongest adult cannot resist the

forces of a collision.

—

Do not put a seat belt around both a

child and another passenger.

—

INFINITI recommends that all child

restraints be installed in the rear

seat. Studies show that children are

safer when properly restrained in the

rear seat than in the front seat. If you

must install a forward-facing child

restraint in the front seat, see “For-

Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air

Bag System, never install a rear-

facing child restraint in the front

seat. An inflating air bag could

seriously injure or kill a child. A

rear-facing child restraint must only

be used in the rear seat.

—

Be sure to purchase a child restraint

that will fit the child and vehicle.

Some child restraints may not fit

properly in your vehicle.

—

Child restraint anchor points are

designed to withstand loads from

child restraints that are properly

fitted.

—

Never use the anchor points for

adult seat belts or harnesses.

—

A child restraint with a top tether

strap should not be used in the front

passenger seat.

—

Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-

sible after fitting the child restraint.

—

Infants and children should always

be placed in an appropriate child

restraint while in the vehicle.

.When the child restraint is not in use,

keep it secured with the LATCH system or

a seat belt. In a sudden stop or collision,

loose objects can injure occupants or

damage the vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can

become very hot. Check the seating surface

and buckles before placing a child in the

child restraint.

This vehicle is equipped with a universal

child restraint anchor system, referred to

as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers

for CHildren) system. Some child restraints

include rigid or webbing-mounted attach-

ments that can be connected to these

anchors.

For details, see “Lower Anchors and

Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system” (P.1-

23).

If you do not have a LATCH compatible child

restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be

used.

Several manufacturers offer child re-

straints for infants and small children of

various sizes. When selecting any child

restraint, keep the following points in

mind:

.Choose only a restraint with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard 213.

.Check the child restraint in your vehicle

to be sure it is compatible with the

vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.

.If the child restraint is compatible with

your vehicle, place your child in the

child restraint and check the various

adjustments to be sure the child

restraint is compatible with your child.

Choose a child restraint that is de-

signed for your child’s height and

weight. Always follow all recommended

procedures.

.If the combined weight of the child and

child restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5

kg), you may use either the LATCH

anchors or the seat belt to install the

child restraint (not both at the same

time).

.If the combined weight of the child and

child restraint is greater than 65 lbs

Condition:

(not the lower anchors) to install the

child restraint.

.Be sure to follow the child restraint

manufacturer’s instructions for installa-

tion.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

restraint at all times while the vehicle is

being operated. Canadian law requires the

top tether strap on front-facing child

restraints to be secured to the designated

anchor point on the vehicle.

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are not used

properly, the risk of a child being injured in a

sudden stop or collision greatly increases:

.Make sure the shoulder portion of the

belt is away from the child’s face and

neck and the lap portion of the belt does

not cross the stomach.

.Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the child’s

arm.

Booster seats of various sizes are offered

by several manufacturers. When selecting

any booster seat, keep the following points

in mind:

.Choose only a booster seat with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard 213.

vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.

.Make sure the child’s head will be

properly supported by the booster seat

or vehicle seat. The seatback must be at

or above the center of the child’s ears.

For example, if a low back booster seat

is chosen, the vehicle seatback

must be at or above the center of the

child’s ears. If the seatback is lower

than the center of the child’s ears, a

high back booster seat

should be

used.

LRS0464

.If the booster seat is compatible with

your vehicle, place your child in the

booster seat and check the various

adjustments to be sure the booster seat

is compatible with your child. Always

follow all recommended procedures.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

collisions. The curtain air bags are de-

signed to inflate on the side where the

vehicle is impacted.

These supplemental restraint systems are

designed to supplement the crash protec-

tion provided by the driver and passenger

seat belts and are not a substitute for

them. Seat belts should always be cor-

rectly worn and the occupant seated a

suitable distance away from the steering

wheel, instrument panel and door fin-

ishers. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-12) for

instructions and precautions on seat belt

occupants are belted or unbelted. Addi-

tionally, the front passenger air bag may be

automatically turned OFF under some con-

ditions, depending on the information

provided by the occupant classification

sensor. If the front passenger air bag is

OFF, the front passenger air bag status

light will be illuminated (if the seat is

unoccupied, the light will not be illumi-

nated, but the air bag will be off). (See

“Front passenger air bag and status light”

(P.1-49) for further details.) One front air

bag inflating does not indicate improper

performance of the system.

If you have any questions about your air

bag system, it is recommended you visit an

INFINITI retailer to obtain information

about the system. If you are considering

modification of your vehicle due to a

disability, you may also contact INFINITI.

Contact information is contained in the

front of this Owner’s Manual.

When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud

noise may be heard, followed by release of

smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does

not indicate a fire. Care should be taken

not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation

and choking. Those with a history of a

breathing condition should get fresh air

promptly.

Front air bags, along with the use of seat

belts, help to cushion the impact force on

the head and chest of the front occupants.

They can help save lives and reduce

serious injuries. However, an inflating front

air bag may cause facial abrasions or other

injuries. Front air bags do not provide

restraint to the lower body.

Even with INFINITI advanced air bags, seat

belts should be correctly worn and the

driver and passenger seated upright as far

as practical away from the steering wheel

or instrument panel. The front air bags

inflate quickly in order to help protect the

front occupants. Because of this, the force

of the front air bag inflating can increase

the risk of injury if the occupant is too close

to, or is against, the air bag module during

inflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a

collision.

The front air bags operate only when the

ignition switch is in the ON position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warn-

ing light illuminates. The supplemental air

bag warning light will turn off after about 7

seconds if the system is operational.

Front passenger air bag and status

light

GUID-A696E7CA-8518-4464-B136-B31DBA766A33

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed to

automatically turn OFF under some condi-

tions. Read this section carefully to learn

how it operates. Proper use of the seat, seat

belt and child restraints is necessary for

most effective protection. Failure to follow

all instructions in this manual concerning

the use of seats, seat belts and child

restraints can increase the risk or severity

of injury in an accident.

Status light:

GUID-10221273-8529-43B4-9E02-24D4CE0B4AD3

The front passenger air bag status light

is located under the climate controls.

After the ignition switch is placed in the ON

position, the front passenger air bag status

light illuminates for about 7 seconds and

then turns off or illuminates depending on

the front passenger seat occupied status.

The light operates as follows:

.Unoccupied passenger seat: The

light is OFF and the front passenger air

bag is OFF and will not inflate in a

crash.

.Passenger seat occupied by a small

adult, child or child restraint as out-

lined in this section: The light

illuminates to indicate that the front

passenger air bag is OFF and will not

inflate in a crash.

.Occupied passenger seat and the pas-

senger meets the conditions outlined in

this section: The light is OFF to

indicate that the front passenger air

bag is operational.

Front passenger air bag:

GUID-224E305F-87A0-42AB-B89A-B92D4166A9A1

The front passenger air bag is designed to

automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is

operated under some conditions as de-

scribed below as permitted by U.S. regula-

tions. If the front passenger air bag is OFF,

it will not inflate in a crash. The driver air

bag and other air bags in your vehicle are

not part of this system.

The purpose of the regulation is to help

reduce the risk of injury or death from an

inflating air bag to certain front passenger

seat occupants, such as children, by

requiring the air bag to be automatically

turned OFF.

The occupant classification sensor (pattern

sensor) is in the front passenger seat

cushion and is designed to detect an

occupant and objects on the seat. For

example, if a child is in the front passenger

seat, the Advanced Air Bag System is

designed to turn the passenger air bag

OFF in accordance with the regulations.

Also, if a child restraint of the type

specified in the regulations is on the seat,

the occupant classification sensor can

detect it and cause the air bag to turn OFF.

1-50 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

as outlined in this manual should not

cause the passenger air bag to be auto-

matically turned OFF. For small adults it

may be turned OFF, however, if the

occupant does not sit in the seat properly

(for example, by not sitting upright, by

sitting on an edge of the seat, or by

otherwise being out of position), this could

cause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF.

Always be sure to be seated and wearing

the seat belt properly for the most effective

protection by the seat belt and supple-

mental air bag.

INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and

children be properly restrained in a rear

seat. INFINITI also recommends that appro-

priate child restraints and booster seats be

properly installed in a rear seat. If this is

not possible, the occupant classification

sensor is designed to operate as described

above to turn the front passenger air bag

OFF for specified child restraints. Failing to

properly secure child restrains and to use

the ALR mode (child restraint mode) may

allow the restraint to tip or move in an

accident or sudden stop. This can also

result in the front passenger air bag

inflating in a crash instead of being OFF.

(See “Child restraints” (P.1-21) for proper

use and installation.)

If the front passenger seat is not occupied,

the passenger air bag is designed not to

inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects

placed on the seat could result in air bag

inflation, because of the object being

detected by the occupant classification

sensor. Other conditions could also result

in air bag inflation, such as if a child is

standing on the seat, or if two children are

on the seat, contrary to the instructions in

this manual. Always be sure that you and

all vehicle occupants are seated and

restrained properly.

Using the front passenger air bag status

light, you can monitor when the front

passenger air bag is automatically turned

OFF with the seat occupied. The light will

not illuminate when the front passenger

seat is unoccupied.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but the

front passenger air bag status light is

illuminated (indicating that the air bag is

OFF), it could be that the person is a small

adult, or is not sitting on the seat properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front

seat, the front passenger air bag status

light may or may not be illuminated,

depending on the size of the child and

the type of child restraint being used. If the

front passenger air bag status light is not

illuminated (indicating that the air bag

might inflate in a crash), it could be that

the child restraint or seat belt is not being

used properly. Make sure that the child

restraint is installed properly, the seat belt

is used properly and the occupant is

positioned properly. If the front passenger

air bag status light is still not illuminated,

reposition the occupant or child restraint in

a rear seat.

If the front passenger air bag status light

will not illuminate even though you believe

that the child restraint, the seat belts and

the occupant are properly positioned, the

system may be sensing an unoccupied seat

(in which case the air bag is OFF). Your

INFINITI retailer can check that the system

is OFF by using a special tool. However,

until you have confirmed with your retailer

that your air bag is working properly,

reposition the occupant or child restraint

in a rear seat.

The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System and

front passenger air bag status light will

take a few seconds to register a change in

the passenger seat status. However, if the

seat becomes unoccupied, the front pas-

GUID-F6A2B4A6-0AF4-4627-8243-F5C200B68D33

WARNING

.Do not place any objects on the steering

wheel pad or on the instrument panel.

Also, do not place any objects between

any occupant and the steering wheel or

instrument panel. Such objects may

become dangerous projectiles and cause

injury if the front air bag inflates.

.Do not place objects with sharp edges on

the seat. Also, do not place heavy

objects on the seat that will leave

permanent impressions in the seat. Such

objects can damage the seat or occupant

classification sensor (pattern sensor).

This can affect the operation of the air

bag system and result in serious perso-

nal injury.

.Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot

steam cleaners) on the seat. This can

damage the seat or occupant classifica-

tion sensor. This can also affect the

operation of the air bag system and

result in serious personal injury.

.Immediately after inflation, several front

air bag system components will be hot.

Do not touch them; you may severely

burn yourself.

.No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the air bag system. This is to prevent

accidental inflation of the supplemental

air bag or damage to the supplemental

air bag system.

.Do not make unauthorized changes to

your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-

sion system or front end structure. This

could affect proper operation of the front

air bag system.

.Tampering with the air bag system may

result in serious personal injury. Tamper-

ing includes changes to the steering

wheel and the instrument panel assem-

bly by placing material over the steering

wheel pad and above the instrument

panel or by installing additional trim

material around the air bag system.

.Modifying or tampering with the front

passenger seat may result in serious

personal injury. For example, do not

change the front seats by placing mate-

rial on the seat cushion or by installing

additional trim material, such as seat

covers, on the seat that is not specifi-

cally designed to assure proper air bag

operation. Additionally, do not stow any

objects under the front passenger seat

or the seat cushion and seatback. Such

objects may interfere with the proper

operation of the occupant classification

sensor.

.No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the seat belt system. This may affect the

front air bag system. Tampering with the

seat belt system may result in serious

TEMS

GUID-EACCE656-7510-42E3-AFEC-F23C14915D61

The side air bags are located in the outside

of the seatback of the front seats. The

curtain air bags are located in the side roof

rails. All of the information, cautions and

warnings in this manual apply and must be

followed. The side air bags and curtain air

bags are designed to inflate in higher

severity side collisions, although they may

inflate if the forces in another type of

collision are similar to those of a higher

severity side impact. They are designed to

inflate on the side where the vehicle is

impacted. They may not inflate in certain

side collisions on the side where the

vehicle is impacted.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always

an indication of proper side air bag and

curtain air bag operation.

When the side air bags and curtain air bags

inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,

followed by release of smoke. This smoke

is not harmful and does not indicate a fire.

Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it

may cause irritation and choking. Those

with a history of a breathing condition

should get fresh air promptly.

Side air bags, along with the use of seat

belts, help to cushion the impact force on

the chest and pelvis of the front occupants.

Curtain air bags help to cushion the impact

force to the head of occupants in the front

and rear outboard seating positions. They

can help save lives and reduce serious

injuries. However, inflating side air bags

and curtain air bags may cause abrasions

or other injuries. Side air bags and curtain

air bags do not provide restraint to the

lower body.

Condition:

(73,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

The seat belts should be correctly worn and

the driver and passenger seated upright as

far as practical away from the side air bags.

Rear seat passengers should be seated as

far away as practical from the door

finishers and side roof rails. The side air

bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in

order to help protect the occupants.

Because of this, the force of the side air

bags and curtain air bags inflating can

increase the risk of injury if the occupant is

too close to, or is against, these air bag

modules during inflation. The side air bags

and curtain air bags will deflate quickly

after the collision is over.

The side air bags and curtain air bags

operate only when the ignition switch is in

the ON position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warn-

ing light illuminates. The air bag warning

light will turn off after about 7 seconds if

the systems are operational.

WARNING

.Do not place any objects near the seat-

back of the front seats. Also, do not

place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.)

between the front door finisher and the

front seat. Such objects may become

dangerous projectiles and cause injury if

a side air bag inflates.

.Right after inflation, several front seat-

mounted side air bags and roof-mounted

curtain air bag system components will

be hot. Do not touch them; you may

severely burn yourself.

.No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the side air bag and curtain air bags.

This is to prevent damage to or acciden-

tal inflation of the side air bag and

curtain air bag systems.

.Do not make unauthorized changes to

your vehicle’s electrical system, suspen-

sion system or side panel. This could

affect proper operation of the side air

bag and curtain air bag systems.

.Tampering with the side air bag system

may result in serious personal injury. For

example, do not change the front seat by

placing material near the seatback or by

installing additional trim material, such

as seat covers, around the side air bag.

.It is recommended you visit an INFINITI

retailer for work on and around the side

air bag and curtain air bag. It is also

recommended you visit an INFINITI re-

tailer for installation of electrical equip-

ment. The Supplemental Restraint

System (SRS) wiring harnesses* should

not be modified or disconnected. Un-

authorized electrical test equipment and

probing devices should not be used on

the side air bag or curtain air bag

systems.

.If you need to dispose of the preten-

sioner or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-

mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for

this service. Correct pretensioner dispo-

sal procedures are set forth in the

appropriate INFINITI Service Manual.

Incorrect disposal procedures could

cause personal injury.

The pretensioner system may activate with

the supplemental air bag system in certain

types of collisions. Working with the seat

belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt

when the vehicle becomes involved in

certain types of collisions, helping to

restrain front seat occupants.

The pretensioner is encased with the seat

belt retractor. These seat belts are used the

same way as conventional seat belts.

When a pretensioner activates, smoke is

released and a loud noise may be heard.

The smoke is not harmful, and it does not

indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to

inhale it as it may cause irritation and

choking. Those with a history of a breath-

ing condition should get fresh air promptly.

After pretensioner activation, load limiters

allow the seat belt to release webbing (if

necessary) to reduce forces against the

chest.

The supplemental air bag warning light

is used to indicate malfunctions in the

pretensioner system. (See “Supplemental

air bag warning light” (P.1-55) for more

details.) If the operation of the supple-

mental air bag warning light indicates

there is a malfunction, have the system

checked. It is recommended you visit an

Driving with under-inflated tires may

permanently damage the tires and in-

crease the likelihood of tire failure.

Serious vehicle damage could occur

and may lead to an accident and could

result in serious personal injury. Check

the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust

the tire pressure to the recommended

COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and

Loading Information label to turn the low

tire pressure warning light OFF. If the

light still illuminates while driving after

adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be

flat or the TPMS may be malfunctioning.

If you have a flat tire, replace it with a

spare tire as soon as possible. If no tire

is flat and all tires are properly inflated,

it is recommended you have the vehicle

checked by an INFINITI retailer.

.Since the spare tire is not equipped with

the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted

or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not

function and the low tire pressure warn-

ing light will flash for approximately 1

minute. The light will remain on after 1

minute. Have your tires replaced and/or

TPMS system reset as soon as possible.

It is recommended you visit an INFINITI

retailer for these services.

.Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by INFINITI could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

CAUTION

.The TPMS is not a substitute for the

regular tire pressure check. Be sure to

check the tire pressure regularly.

.If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of

less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS

may not operate correctly.

.Be sure to install the specified size of

tires to the four wheels correctly.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

GUID-87DD9A1C-A96A-4B80-97F8-9699DF2B983A

The vehicle security system provides visual

and audio alarm signals if someone opens

the doors, hood, or liftgate when the

system is armed. It is not, however, a

motion detection type system that acti-

vates when a vehicle is moved or when a

vibration occurs.

The system helps deter vehicle theft but

cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the

theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-

nents in all situations. Always secure your

vehicle even if parking for a brief period.

Never leave your Intelligent Key(s) in the

vehicle, and always lock it when unat-

tended. Be aware of your surroundings,

and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever

possible.

Many devices offering additional protec-

tion, such as component locks, identifica-

tion markers, and tracking systems, are

available at auto supply stores and speci-

alty shops. Your INFINITI retailer may also

offer such equipment. Check with your

insurance company to see if you may be

eligible for discounts for various theft

protection features.

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

.When xenon headlights are on, they

produce a high voltage. To prevent an

electric shock, never attempt to modify

or disassemble. Always have your xenon

headlights replaced by a certified ser-

vice technician.

.Xenon headlights provide considerably

more light than conventional headlights.

If they are not correctly aimed, they

might temporarily blind an oncoming

driver or the driver ahead of you and

cause a serious accident. If headlights

are not aimed correctly, immediately

take your vehicle to have the headlights

adjusted correctly. It is recommended

you visit an INFINITI retailer for this

service.

When the xenon headlight is initially

turned on, its brightness or color varies

slightly. However, the color and brightness

will soon stabilize.

.The life of xenon headlights will be

shortened by frequent on-off opera-

tion. It is generally desirable not to

turn off the headlights for short inter-

vals (for example, when the vehicle

stops at a traffic signal).

.If the xenon headlight bulb is close to

burning out, the brightness will dras-

tically decrease, the light will start

blinking, or the color of the light will

become reddish. If one or more of the

above signs appear, it is recommended

you visit an INFINITI retailer.

The HomeLink

Universal Transceiver pro-

vides a convenient way to consolidate the

functions of up to three individual hand-

held transmitters into one built-in device.

HomeLink

Universal Transceiver:

.Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)

devices such as garage doors, gates,

home and office lighting, entry door

locks and security systems.

.Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No

separate batteries are required. If the

vehicle’s battery is discharged or is

disconnected, HomeLink

will retain all

programming.

When the HomeLink

Universal Transcei-

ver is programmed, retain the original

transmitter for future programming proce-

dures (Example: new vehicle purchases).

Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed

HomeLink

Universal Transceiver buttons

should be erased for security purposes.

For additional information, refer to “Pro-

gramming HomeLink

” (P.2-60).

WARNING

.Do not use the HomeLink

Universal

Transceiver with any garage door opener

that lacks safety stop and reverse

features as required by federal safety

standards. (These standards became

effective for opener models manufac-

tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door

opener which cannot detect an object in

the path of a closing garage door and

then automatically stop and reverse,

does not meet current federal safety

standards. Using a garage door opener

without these features increases the risk

of serious injury or death.

.During the programming procedure your

garage door or security gate will open

and close (if the transmitter is within

range). Make sure that people or objects

are clear of the garage door, gate, etc.

that you are programming.

.Your vehicle’s engine should be turned

off while programming the HomeLink

Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe

exhaust gases; they contain colorless

and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon

monoxide is dangerous. It can cause

unconsciousness or death.

WARNING

.Radio waves could adversely affect

electric medical equipment. Those who

use a pacemaker should contact the

electric medical equipment manufac-

turer for the possible influences before

use.

.The Intelligent Key transmits radio

waves when the buttons are pushed.

The FAA advises that the radio waves

may affect aircraft navigation and com-

munication systems. Do not operate the

Intelligent Key while on an airplane.

Make sure that the buttons are not

operated unintentionally when the unit

is stored for a flight.

The Intelligent Key system can operate all

the door locks using the remote controller

function or pushing the request switch on

the vehicle without taking the key out from

a pocket or purse. The operating environ-

ment and/or conditions may affect the

Intelligent Key system operation.

Be sure to read the following before using

the Intelligent Key system.

CAUTION

.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with

you when operating the vehicle.

.Never leave the Intelligent Key in the

vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

The Intelligent Key is always communicat-

ing with the vehicle as it receives radio

waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-

mits weak radio waves. Environmental

conditions may interfere with the operation

of the Intelligent Key system under the

following operating conditions.

.When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted,

such as a TV tower, power station and

broadcasting station.

.When in possession of wireless equip-

ment, such as a cellular telephone,

transceiver, and CB radio.

.When the Intelligent Key is in contact

with or covered by metallic materials.

.When any type of radio wave remote

control is used nearby.

.When the Intelligent Key is placed near

an electric appliance such as a personal

computer.

.When the vehicle is parked near a

parking meter.

In such cases, correct the operating condi-

tions before using the Intelligent Key

function or use the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies

depending on the operating conditions,

the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.

If the battery is discharged, replace it with

a new one.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously

receiving radio waves, if the key is left near

equipment which transmits strong radio

waves, such as signals from a TV and

personal computer, the battery life may

become shorter.

For information regarding replacement of a

battery, see “Intelligent Key battery repla-

cement” (P.8-20).

As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be

registered and used with one vehicle. For

information about the purchase and use of

additional Intelligent Keys, contact an

INFINITI retailer.

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION

GUID-9AC024F5-C581-4D01-8622-038BEF4536D1

This system is designed so that the driver’s

seat and steering column will automati-

cally move when the automatic transmis-

sion shift lever is in the P (Park) position.

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 the ignition

switch in the OFF position.

The driver’s seat and steering wheel will

return to the previous positions when one

of the following is operated:

.When the ignition switch is pushed to

the ACC position after the driver’s door

is closed.

.When the ignition switch is pushed to

the ON position.

.When the Intelligent Key is inserted into

the port after the driver’s door is

closed.

The driver’s seat will not return to the

previous positions if the seat or steering

adjusting switch is operated when the seat

is at the exit position.

Cancel or activate entry/exit func-

tion

GUID-48398ABA-1770-4500-8083-C2E9A8122749

The shift lever must be in the P (Park)

position with the ignition switch in the OFF

position.

The entry/exit function can be activated or

canceled by pressing and holding the SET

switch for more than 10 seconds.

The entry/exit function can also be acti-

vated or canceled if the “Lift Steering

Wheel on Exit” key or “Slide Driver Seat

Back on Exit” key is turned to ON or OFF in

the “Comfort” settings. (See “Vehicle

information and settings” (P.4-9).)

Initialize entry/exit function

GUID-54652083-4D98-4A38-831B-B10FA5BB523F

If the battery cable is disconnected, or if

the fuse opens, the entry/exit function will

not work though this function was set on

before. In such a case, after connecting the

battery or replacing with a new fuse, open

and close the driver’s door more than two

times after the ignition switch is turned

from the ON position to the LOCK position.

SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION

GUID-9C62EB27-3C7E-4058-AC3B-D9D8EE82055C

The seat synchronization function automa-

tically adjusts the positions of the steering

wheel and outside mirrors when the seat is

adjusted using the power seat switches.

However, the steering wheel and outside

mirrors will not move if the seat is adjusted

over the maximum thresholds. The system

considers that the steering wheel and

outside mirror adjustments are not neces-

sary because the seat may not be adjusted

for the driving position. Note that the

function is set to disabled as the factory

default setting.

The seat synchronization function operates

under the following conditions:

.The ignition switch is in the ON posi-

tion.

.The shift lever is in the P (Park) position.

If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel

reaches its maximum adjustment, the

function is automatically disabled. Restart

the function by selecting a previously

stored seat memory position using the

memory switches (1 or 2). An Intelligent

Key that was previously linked to the

stored seat memory can also be used to

restart the function.

If a seat position was not previously stored

in the seat memory, restart the function by

adjusting the steering wheel and outside

mirrors manually for your best driving

position and then drive the vehicle above

4 MPH (7 km/h).

limitations could result in serious injury or

death.

.The system cannot completely eliminate

blind spots and may not show every

object.

.Underneath the bumper and the corner

areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on

the RearView Monitor because of its

monitoring range limitation. The system

will not show small objects below the

bumper, and may not show objects close

to the bumper or on the ground.

.Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor

differ from actual distance because a

wide-angle lens is used.

number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle

position, road conditions and road

grade.

.Make sure that the liftgate is securely

closed when backing up.

.Do not put anything on the rearview

camera. The rearview camera is installed

above the license plate.

.When washing the vehicle with high-

pressure water, be sure not to spray it

around the camera. Otherwise, water

may enter the camera unit causing water

condensation on the lens, a malfunction,

fire or an electric shock.

.Do not strike the camera. It is a precision

instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-

tion or cause damage resulting in a fire

or an electric shock.

The following are operating limitations and

do not represent a system malfunction:

.When the temperature is extremely high

or low, the screen may not clearly

display objects.

.When strong light is directly coming on

the camera, objects may not be dis-

played clearly.

.Vertical lines may be seen in objects on

the screen. This is due to strong

reflected light from the bumper.

.The screen may flicker under fluores-

cent light.

.The colors of objects on the RearView

Monitor may differ somewhat from the

actual color of objects.

.Objects on the monitor may not be clear

in a dark environment.

.There may be a delay when switching to

the RearView Monitor.

.If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the

camera, the RearView Monitor may not

others alone in your vehicle. Pets should

not be left alone either. On hot, sunny

days, temperatures in a closed vehicle

could quickly become high enough to

cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to

people or animals.

.Do not use the recirculation mode for

long periods as it may cause the interior

air to become stale and the windows to

fog up.

Start the engine and operate the automatic

climate control system.

NOTE:

.Odors from inside and outside the

vehicle can build up in the air condi-

tioner unit. Odor can enter the passen-

ger compartment through the vents.

.When parking, set the heater and air

conditioner controls to turn off air

recirculation to allow fresh air into

the passenger compartment. This

should help reduce odors inside the

vehicle.

When the “STATUS” button is pushed, the

automatic climate control status screen

will appear. (See “How to use STATUS

SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL

GUID-0A376F08-096E-438A-9B04-868EA390BEE5

The climate control system in your INFINITI

is charged with a refrigerant designed with

the environment in mind. This refrigerant

will not harm the earth’s ozone layer.

However, special charging equipment and

lubricant are required when servicing your

INFINITI air conditioner. Using improper

refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe

damage to your climate control system.

(See “Capacities and recommended fluids/

lubricants” (P.10-2) for climate control

system refrigerant and lubricant recom-

mendations.)

Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service

your environmentally friendly climate con-

trol system.

WARNING

The system contains refrigerant under high

pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air

conditioner service should be done only by

an experienced technician with the proper

equipment.

Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON

position and push the radio band select

button to turn on the radio. If you listen to

the radio with the engine not running, the

ignition switch should be pushed to the

ACC position.

Radio reception is affected by station

signal strength, distance from radio trans-

mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and

other external influences. Intermittent

changes in reception quality normally are

caused by these external influences.

Using a cellular phone in or near the

vehicle may influence radio reception

quality.

Radio reception:

GUID-DB81EF40-D3B2-4663-BC46-A54809C6F2CB

Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with

state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-

hance radio reception. These circuits are

designed to extend reception range, and to

enhance the quality of that reception.

However there are some general character-

istics of both FM and AM radio signals that

can affect radio reception quality in a

moving vehicle, even when the finest

equipment is used. These characteristics

are completely normal in a given reception

area, and do not indicate any malfunction

in your INFINITI radio system.

Reception conditions will constantly

change because of vehicle movement.

Buildings, terrain, signal distance and

interference from other vehicles can work

against ideal reception. Described below

are some of the factors that can affect your

radio reception.

Some cellular phones or other devices may

cause interference or a buzzing noise to

come from the audio system speakers.

Storing the device in a different location

may reduce or eliminate the noise.

SAA0306

FM radio reception:

GUID-D6D037AB-E1E0-404F-8A02-D7D05AB864F6

Range: FM range is normally limited to 25

to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural

(single channel) FM having slightly more

range than stereo FM. External influences

may sometimes interfere with FM station

reception even if the FM station is within

25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM

signal is directly related to the distance

between the transmitter and receiver. FM

signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-

ing many of the same characteristics as

light. For example they will reflect off

objects.

from a station transmitter, the signals will

tend to fade and/or drift.

Static and flutter: During signal interfer-

ence from buildings, large hills or due to

antenna position, usually in conjunction

with increased distance from the station

transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.

This can be reduced by lowering the treble

setting to reduce the treble response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-

tive characteristics of FM signals, direct

and reflected signals reach the receiver at

the same time. The signals may cancel

each other, resulting in momentary flutter

or loss of sound.

AM radio reception:

GUID-606F92E8-48A4-4C5D-A557-E10D3222FA77

AM signals, because of their low frequency,

can bend around objects and skip along

the ground. In addition, the signals can be

bounced off the ionosphere and bent back

to earth. Because of these characteristics.

AM signals are also subject to interference

as they travel from transmitter to receiver.

Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing

through freeway underpasses or in areas

with many tall buildings. It can also occur

for several seconds during ionospheric

turbulence even in areas where no obsta-

cles exist.

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

power lines, electric signs and even traffic

lights.

Satellite radio reception:

GUID-FC0DE8F2-EB20-4739-80B2-EC5DFC1E5E2D

When the satellite radio is used for the first

time or the battery has been replaced, the

satellite radio may not work properly. This

is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10

minutes with the satellite radio ON and the

vehicle outside of any metal or large

building for the satellite radio to receive

all of the necessary data.

The satellite radio mode requires an active

SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The

satellite radio is not available in Alaska,

Hawaii and Guam.

The satellite radio performance may be

affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks

the satellite radio signal.

If possible, do not put cargo near the

satellite antenna.

A build up of ice on the satellite radio

antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-

mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite

radio reception.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/

WMA/AAC)

GUID-E541D8D1-9D43-4BFE-AAC0-F80AD3A10635

Explanation of terms:

GUID-0D940964-357E-4024-955D-519B0CB8B0E2

.MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures

Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is

the most well known compressed digi-

tal audio file format. This format allows

for near “CD quality” sound, but at a

fraction of the size of normal audio

files. MP3 conversion of an audio track

can reduce the file size by approxi-

mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1

kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually

no perceptible loss in quality. The

compression reduces certain parts of

sound that seem inaudible to most

people.

.WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is

a compressed audio format created by

Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The

WMA codec offers greater file compres-

sion than the MP3 codec, enabling

storage of more digital audio tracks in

the same amount of space when

compared to MP3s at the same level

of quality.

.AAC/M4A — Advanced Audio Coding

(AAC) is a lossy audio compression

format. Audio files that have been

encoded with AAC are generally smaller

in size and deliver a higher quality of

sound than MP3.

.Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number

of bits per second used by a digital

music file. The size and quality of a

compressed digital audio file is deter-

mined by the bit rate used when

encoding the file.

.Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-

quency is the rate at which the samples

Condition:

(237,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

of a signal are converted from analog to

digital (A/D conversion) per second.

.Multisession — Multisession is one of

the methods for writing data to media.

Writing data once to the media is called

a single session, and writing more than

once is called a multisession.

.ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the

part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file

that contains information about the

digital music file such as song title,

artist, album title, encoding bit rate,

track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-

formation is displayed on the Album/

Artist/Track title line on the display.

Troubleshooting guide:

GUID-D64F1504-9B1E-45A2-ABAB-2C5C5E7AF307

Symptom Cause and Countermeasure

Cannot play

Check if the disc or USB device was inserted correctly.

Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the

player.

If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.

If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be

played.

Files with extensions other than “.MP3 (.mp3)”, “.WMA (.wma)”, “.AAC (.aac)”, “.M4A (.m4a)”, or “.AA3 (.aa3)” cannot be played. In

addition, the character codes and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the

specifications.

Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of

compressed audio writing applications or other text editing applications.

Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.

Check if the disc or USB device is protected by copyright.

Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

It takes a relatively long time before

the music starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the disc or USB device, some time may be required before the music starts playing.

Music cuts off or skips The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not

match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.

Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.

Move immediately to the next song

when playing.

If an unsupported compressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited by copyright

protection, the player will skip to the next song.

The songs do not play back in the

desired order.

The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software, so the files might not play in the desired order.

Random/Shuffle may be active on the audio system or on a USB device.

Your INFINITI is equipped with Bluetooth

Streaming Audio. If you have a compatible

Bluetooth

device with streaming audio

(A2DP profile), you can set up the wireless

connection between your Bluetooth

de-

vice and the in-vehicle audio system. This

connection allows you to listen to the audio

from the Bluetooth

device using your

vehicle speakers. It also may allow basic

control of the device for playing and

skipping audio files using the AVRCP

Bluetooth profile. All Bluetooth

Devices

do not have the same level of controls for

AVRCP. Please consult the manual for your

Bluetooth

Device for more details.

Once your Bluetooth

device is connected

to the in-vehicle audio system, it will

automatically reconnect whenever the de-

vice is present in the vehicle and you select

Bluetooth Audio from your audio system.

You do not need to manually reconnect for

each usage.

Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth

functions share the same frequency band

(2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth

and the

wireless LAN functions at the same time

may slow down or disconnect the commu-

nication and cause undesired noise. It is

recommended that you turn off the wire-

less LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth

functions.

When installing a car phone or a CB radio

in your vehicle, be sure to observe the

following cautions, otherwise the new

equipment may adversely affect the elec-

tronic control modules and electronic con-

trol system harness.

WARNING

.A cellular phone should not be used for

any purpose while driving so full atten-

tion may be given to vehicle operation.

Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of

cellular phones while driving.

.If you must make a call while your

vehicle is in motion, the hands-free

cellular phone operational mode (if so

equipped) is highly recommended. Ex-

ercise extreme caution at all times so full

attention may be given to vehicle opera-

tion.

.If a conversation in a moving vehicle

requires you to take notes, pull off the

road to a safe location and stop your

vehicle before doing so.

CAUTION

.Keep the antenna as far away as

possible from the electronic control

modules.

.Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in (20

cm) away from the electronic control

system harness. Do not route the anten-

na wire next to any harness.

.Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio

as recommended by the manufacturer.

.Connect the ground wire from the CB

radio chassis to the body.

.For details, it is recommended you visit

an INFINITI retailer.

GUID-AC70EB75-705F-4108-A5C4-01E69DCA937E

WARNING

.Use a phone after stopping your vehicle

in a safe location. If you have to use a

phone while driving, exercise extreme

caution at all times so full attention may

be given to vehicle operation.

.If you find yourself unable to devote full

attention to vehicle operation while

talking on the phone, pull off the road

to a safe location and stop your vehicle

before doing so.

CAUTION

To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use a

phone after starting the engine.

Your INFINITI is equipped with Bluetooth

Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an

owner of a compatible Bluetooth

enabled

and the in-vehicle phone module. With

Bluetooth

wireless technology, you can

make or receive a telephone call with your

Condition:

(269,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

Once a cellular phone is connected to the

in-vehicle phone module, no phone con-

necting procedure is required anymore.

Your phone is automatically connected

with the in-vehicle phone module when

the ignition switch is pushed to the ON

position with the registered cellular phone

turned on and carried in the vehicle.

You can register up to 5 different Blue-

tooth

cellular phones in the in-vehicle

phone module. However, you can talk on

only one cellular phone at a time.

The INFINITI Voice Recognition system

supports the phone commands, so dialing

a phone number using your voice is

possible. For more details, see “INFINITI

Voice Recognition system (models with

navigation system)” (P.4-123).

Before using the Bluetooth

Hands-Free

Phone System, refer to the following notes.

.Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth

functions share the same frequency

band (2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth

and the wireless LAN functions at the

same time may slow down or discon-

nect the communication and cause

undesired noise. It is recommended

that you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-

Fi) when using the Bluetooth

func-

tions.

.Set up the wireless connection between

a compatible cellular phone and the in-

vehicle phone module before using the

Bluetooth

Hands-Free Phone System.

.Some Bluetooth

enabled cellular

phones may not be recognized by the

in-vehicle phone module. Please visit

www.InfinitiUSA.com/bluetooth for a

recommended phone list.

.You will not be able to use a hands-free

phone under the following conditions:

— Your vehicle is outside of the tele-

phone service area.

— Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive radio waves; such

as in a tunnel, in an underground

parking garage, behind a tall build-

ing or in a mountainous area.

— Your cellular phone is locked in

order not to be dialed.

.When the radio wave condition is not

ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it

may be difficult to hear the other

person’s voice during a call.

.Immediately after the ignition switch is

pushed to the ON position, it may be

impossible to receive a call for a short

period of time.

.Do not place the cellular phone in an

area surrounded by metal or far away

from the in-vehicle phone module to

prevent tone quality degradation and

wireless connection disruption.

.While a cellular phone is connected

through the Bluetooth

wireless con-

nection, the battery power of the

cellular phone may discharge quicker

than usual.

.If the Bluetooth

Hands-Free Phone

System seems to be malfunctioning,

please visit www.InfinitiUSA.com/blue-

tooth for troubleshooting help.

.Some cellular phones or other devices

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

GUID-8D414043-EC6F-40FA-AE71-118BDCAEF252

The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.

Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.

Symptom Solution

The system fails to interpret the com-

mand correctly.

1. Ensure that the command is valid. (See “INFINITI Voice Recognition system (models with navigation system)” (P.4-123).)

2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.

3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.

4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: If it is too noisy to use

the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.

5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.

The system consistently selects the

wrong voicetag.

1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “Quick Dial” (P.4-102).)

2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

WARNING

.Use a phone after stopping your vehicle

in a safe location. If you have to use a

phone while driving, exercise extreme

caution at all times so full attention may

be given to vehicle operation.

.If you find yourself unable to devote full

attention to vehicle operation while

talking on the phone, pull off the road

to a safe location and stop your vehicle

before doing so.

CAUTION

To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use a

phone after starting the engine.

Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth

Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an

owner of a Bluetooth

enabled cellular

phone, you can set up the wireless

connection between your cellular phone

and the in-vehicle phone module. With

Bluetooth

wireless technology, you can

make or receive a telephone call with your

cellular phone in your pocket.

Once your cellular phone is paired to the

in-vehicle phone module, no phone con-

necting procedure is required. Your phone

is automatically connected with the in-

vehicle phone module when the ignition

switch is pushed to the ON position with

the registered cellular phone turned on and

carried in the vehicle.

You can register up to 5 different Blue-

tooth

cellular phones in the in-vehicle

phone module. However, you can talk on

only one cellular phone at a time.

When a call is active, the audio system and

microphone (located in the ceiling in front

of the rearview mirror) are used for the

handsfree communications.

If the audio system is being used at the

time, the audio mode will mute and will

stay muted until the active call is ended.

The INFINITI Voice Recognition system

supports the phone commands, so dialing

a phone number using your voice is

possible.

Before using the Bluetooth

Hands-Free

Phone System, refer to the following notes.

.Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth

functions share the same frequency

band (2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth

and the wireless LAN functions at the

same time may slow down or discon-

nect the communication and cause

undesired noise. It is recommended

that you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-

Fi) when using the Bluetooth

func-

tions.

.Set up the wireless connection between

a cellular phone and the in-vehicle

phone module before using the Blue-

tooth

Hands-Free Phone System.

.Some Bluetooth

enabled cellular

phones may not be recognized by the

in-vehicle phone module.

.You will not be able to use a hands-free

phone under the following conditions:

— Your vehicle is outside of the tele-

phone service area.

— Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive radio waves; such

as in a tunnel, in an underground

parking garage, behind a tall build-

ing or in a mountainous area.

— Your cellular phone is locked in

order not to be dialed.

.When the radio wave condition is not

ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it

may be difficult to hear the other

person’s voice during a call.

How to speak commands:

GUID-1C5EB1AA-F032-4653-85D3-46767598CA7E

The Voice Recognition System requires a

certain way to speak voice commands.

Speak normally and clearly in the direction

of the microphone (located in front of the

rearview mirror). Every digit of the number

must be spoken individually and in a

normal manner. The hands-free mode will

work best when the telephone number is

spoken in blocks of three to five digits.

After each spoken block is terminated, the

system will repeat the three to five digits

and wait for you to speak the next digit or

block of digits required for the telephone

number.

See “List of voice commands” (P.4-115) for

the appropriate commands that can be

spoken for the hands-free mode system.

Example:

In order to initiate a call, speak “Phone-

book”.

INFO

.If you are controlling the telephone

system by voice command for the first

time or do not know the appropriate

voice command, speak “Help”. The

system announces the available com-

mands.

.When you speak numbers, you can

speak both “zero” or “oh” for “0”.

Personal vocabulary (voicetags):

GUID-467CAA19-E21D-46A2-BD93-B72217A35C63

Voice Recognition System is equipped with

the function called “voicetags”, which can

be associated with the phone number and

name in the phonebook. Using the voice

tag will automatically generate a speed

dial to the registered number.

See “Phonebook registration” (P.4-117).

You can call the identified number using

the following command: “Dial” followed by

the voice tag.

Dialling a name with a voice tag:

You can improve the recognition of phone

numbers by saying the phone number in

three groups of numbers. For example,

when you try to call 800-662-6200, say

“eight zero zero” first, and the system will

then ask you for the next three digits. Then,

say “six six two”. After recognition, the

system will then ask for the last four digits.

Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this method

of phone digit entry can improve recogni-

tion performance.

When speaking a house number, speak the

number “0” as “zero”. If the letter “o (Oh)”

is included in the house number, it will not

be recognized as the number “0 (zero)”

even if you speak “oh” instead of “zero”.

Please speak “zero” for the number “0

(zero)”, “oh” for the letter “o (oh)”

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

GUID-EDF04FF9-20BA-44F0-8A2B-4FC70A2F5096

The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, follow the solutions given in

this guide for the appropriate error.

Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number one, until the problem is resolved.

Symptom/error message Solution

The system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see “Command List” (P.4-129).

2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.

3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.

NOTE:

If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.

4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.

The system consistently selects the wrong voicetag in

the phonebook.

1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “Bluetooth

Hands-Free Phone

System (models with navigation system)” (P.4-98).)

2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.

sudden stop or collision, unsecured

cargo could cause personal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

GUID-E2119C8D-3B55-4B9A-99C5-3E33AE65D946

WARNING

.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless carbon

monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-

ous. It can cause unconsciousness or

death.

.If you suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering the vehicle, drive with all

windows fully open, and have the vehicle

inspected immediately.

.Do not run the engine in closed spaces

such as a garage.

.Do not park the vehicle with the engine

running for any extended length of time.

.Keep the liftgate closed while driving,

otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn

into the passenger compartment. If you

must drive with the liftgate open, follow

these precautions:

—

Open all the windows.

—

Set the air recirculation to off

and the fan control to high to

circulate the air.

.If electrical wiring or other cable con-

nections must pass to a trailer through

the seal on the liftgate or the body,

follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-

tion to prevent carbon monoxide entry

into the vehicle.

.The exhaust system and body should be

inspected by a qualified mechanic when-

ever:

—

The vehicle is raised for service.

—

You suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering into the passenger compart-

ment.

—

You notice a change in the sound of

the exhaust system.

—

You have had an accident involving

cause a fire.

CAUTION

.Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits

from leaded gasoline seriously reduce

the three-way catalyst’s ability to help

reduce exhaust pollutants.

.Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions

in the ignition, fuel injection, or elec-

trical systems can cause overrich fuel

flow into the three-way catalyst, causing

it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the

engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of

performance or other unusual operating

conditions are detected. Have the vehicle

inspected promptly. It is recommended

you visit an INFINITI retailer for this

service.

.Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel

level. Running out of fuel could cause the

engine to misfire, damaging the three-

way catalyst.

.Do not race the engine while warming it

up.

.Do not push or tow your vehicle to start

the engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-

TEM (TPMS)

GUID-68E51C46-B72B-4976-850C-3C364D669985

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),

should be checked monthly when cold and

inflated to the inflation pressure recom-

mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure

label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different

size than the size indicated on the vehicle

placard or tire inflation pressure label, you

should determine the proper tire inflation

pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle

has been equipped with a Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates

a low tire pressure telltale when one or

more of your tires is significantly under-

inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire

pressure telltale illuminates, you should

stop and check your tires as soon as

possible, and inflate them to the proper

pressure. Driving on a significantly under-

inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and

can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also

reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,

and may affect the vehicle’s handling and

stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a

substitute for proper tire maintenance,

and it is the driver’s responsibility to

maintain correct tire pressure, even if

under-inflation has not reached the level

to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire

pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a

TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating properly.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-

bined with the low tire pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction,

the telltale will flash for approximately one

minute and then remain continuously

illuminated. This sequence will continue

upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long

as the malfunction exists. When the mal-

function indicator is illuminated, the sys-

tem may not be able to detect or signal low

tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-

tions may occur for a variety of reasons,

including the installation of replacement or

alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that

prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-

erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction

telltale after replacing one or more tires or

wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

Condition:

(325,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

replacement or alternate tires and wheels

allow the TPMS to continue to function

properly.

Additional information

GUID-EB545C2D-FE9B-4A5F-B78A-AF95258155FA

.Since the spare tire is not equipped

with the TPMS, the TPMS does not

monitor the tire pressure of the spare

tire.

.The TPMS will activate only when the

vehicle is driven at speeds above 16

MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may

not detect a sudden drop in tire

pressure (for example a flat tire while

driving).

.The low tire pressure warning light does

not automatically turn off when the tire

pressure is adjusted. After the tire is

inflated to the recommended pressure,

the vehicle must be driven at speeds

above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the

TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure

warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge

to check the tire pressure.

.The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning

appears in the vehicle information dis-

play when the low tire pressure warn-

ing light is illuminated and low tire

pressure is detected. The CHECK TIRE

PRESSURE warning turns off when the

low tire pressure warning light turns

off.

The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning

appears each time the ignition switch

is placed in the ON position as long as

the low tire pressure warning light

remains illuminated.

The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning

does not appear if the low tire pressure

warning light illuminates to indicate a

TPMS malfunction.

.Tire pressure rises and falls depending

on the heat caused by the vehicle’s

operation and the outside temperature.

Do not reduce the tire pressure after

driving because the tire pressure rises

after driving. Low outside temperature

can lower the temperature of the air

inside the tire which can cause a lower

tire inflation pressure. This may cause

the low tire pressure warning light to

illuminate. If the warning light illumi-

nates in low ambient temperature,

check the tire pressure for all four tires.

For additional information, see “Low tire

pressure warning light” (P.2-14) and “Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.6-

3).

WARNING

.If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sudden

steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,

reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to

a safe location and stop the vehicle as

soon as possible. Driving with under-

inflated tires may permanently damage

the tires and increase the likelihood of

tire failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur and may lead to an accident

and could result in serious personal

injury. Check the tire pressure for all

four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the

recommended COLD tire pressure shown

on the Tire and Loading Information

label to turn the low tire pressure

warning light OFF. If the light still

illuminates while driving after adjusting

the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you

have a flat tire, replace it with a spare

tire as soon as possible. (See “Flat tire”

(P.6-3) for changing a flat tire.)

.Since the spare tire is not equipped with

the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted

or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not

function and the low tire pressure warn-

5-6 Starting and driving

ing light will flash for approximately 1

minute. The light will remain on after 1

minute. Have your tires replaced and/or

TPMS system reset as soon as possible.

It is recommended you visit an INFINITI

retailer for this service.

.Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by INFINITI could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

.Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol

tire sealant into the tires, as this may

cause a malfunction of the tire pressure

sensors.

CAUTION

.The TPMS may not function properly

when the wheels are equipped with tire

chains or the wheels are buried in snow.

.Do not place metalized film or any metal

parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.

This may cause poor reception of the

signals from the tire pressure sensors,

and the TPMS will not function properly.

Some devices and transmitters may tem-

porarily interfere with the operation of the

TPMS and cause the low tire pressure

warning light to illuminate. Some exam-

ples are:

.Facilities or electric devices using simi-

lar radio frequencies are near the

vehicle.

.If a transmitter set to similar frequen-

cies is being used in or near the

vehicle.

.If a computer (or similar equipment) or a

DC/AC converter is being used in or

near the vehicle.

Low tire pressure warning light may

GUID-D78A49A1-6564-4FD9-822A-76DF037D75FF

WARNING

Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and

prudent manner may result in loss of control

or an accident.

Be alert and drive defensively at all times.

Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid exces-

sive speed, high speed cornering, or

sudden steering maneuvers, because

Condition:

(327,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

these driving practices could cause you to

lose control of your vehicle. As with any

vehicle, a loss of control could result in a

collision with other vehicles or objects, or

cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if

the loss of control causes the vehicle to

slide sideways. Be attentive at all times,

and avoid driving when tired. Never drive

when under the influence of alcohol or

drugs (including prescription or over-the-

counter drugs which may cause drowsi-

ness). Always wear your seat belt as

outlined in the “Seat belts” (P.1-12), and

also instruct your passengers to do so.

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in

collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,

an unbelted or improperly belted person is

significantly more likely to be injured or

killed than a person properly wearing a

seat belt.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

GUID-2370219B-8F45-4A50-8A89-7CDFDE7902EF

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher

rollover rate than other types of vehicles.

They have higher ground clearance than

passenger cars to make them capable of

performing in a variety of on-pavement and

off-road applications. This gives them a

higher center of gravity than ordinary cars.

An advantage of higher ground clearance is

a better view of the road, allowing you to

anticipate problems. However, they are not

designed for cornering at the same speeds

as conventional passenger cars any more

than low-slung sports cars are designed to

perform satisfactorily under off-road con-

ditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns

or abrupt maneuvers, particularly at high

speeds. As with other vehicles of this type,

failure to operate this vehicle correctly may

result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in

collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,

an unbelted or improperly belted person is

significantly more likely to be injured or

killed than a person properly wearing a

seat belt.

Be sure to read “All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

driving safety precautions (for AWD mod-

els) ” (P.5-9).

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY

GUID-D40E2DC5-B96C-40EF-A58C-FD262057429B

If the right side or left side wheels

unintentionally leave the road surface,

maintain control of the vehicle by following

the procedure below. Please note that this

procedure is only a general guide. The

vehicle must be driven as appropriate

based on the conditions of the vehicle,

road and traffic.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Do not apply the brakes.

3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold a

straight course.

4. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow the

vehicle.

5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the

vehicle to follow the road while the

vehicle speed is reduced. Do not

attempt to drive the vehicle back onto

the road surface until vehicle speed is

reduced.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn

the steering wheel until both tires

return to the road surface. When all

tires are on the road surface, steer the

vehicle to stay in the appropriate

driving lane.

If you decide that it is not safe to return

the vehicle to the road surface based

on vehicle, road or traffic conditions,

gradually slow the vehicle to a stop in a

safe place off the road.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS

GUID-FAB045C9-866E-493D-B21B-BC98003ABEC1

Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can

occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged

due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air

pressure loss can also be caused by driving

on under-inflated tires.

Rapid air pressure loss can affect the

handling and stability of the vehicle,

especially at highway speeds.

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by

maintaining the correct air pressure and

visually inspect the tires for wear and

damage. See “Wheels and tires” (P.8-26).

If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or

“blows-out” while driving maintain control

of the vehicle by following the procedure

below. Please note that this procedure is

only a general guide. The vehicle must be

driven as appropriate based on the condi-

tions of the vehicle, road and traffic.

WARNING

The following actions can increase the

chance of losing control of the vehicle if

there is a sudden loss of tire air pressure.

Losing control of the vehicle may cause a

collision and result in personal injury.

.The vehicle generally moves or pulls in

the direction of the flat tire.

.Do not rapidly apply the brakes.

.Do not rapidly release the accelerator

pedal.

.Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold a

straight course.

3. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow the

vehicle.

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe

location off the road and away from

traffic if possible.

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-

ally stop the vehicle.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers

and either contact a roadside emer-

gency service to change the tire or see

“Changing a flat tire” (P.6-4).

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND

DRIVING

GUID-F9A99588-AB2B-4EA9-BABB-07E4D6E3266B

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of alcohol or

drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces

coordination, delays reaction time and im-

pairs judgement. Driving after drinking

alcohol increases the likelihood of being

involved in an accident injuring yourself and

others. Additionally, if you are injured in an

accident, alcohol can increase the severity

of the injury.

INFINITI is committed to safe driving.

However, you must choose not to drive

under the influence of alcohol. Every year

thousands of people are injured or killed in

alcohol-related accidents. Although the

local laws vary on what is considered to

be legally intoxicated, the fact is that

alcohol affects all people differently and

most people underestimate the effects of

alcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!

And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-

counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).

Condition:

(329,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

some other physical condition.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (for AWD

models)

GUID-25A67C86-AA78-45D6-8FD5-9236974638FE

WARNING

.Do not drive beyond the performance

capability of the tires, even with AWD

engaged. Accelerating quickly, sharp

steering maneuvers or sudden braking

may cause loss of control.

.Always use tires of the same type, size,

brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or

radial), and tread pattern on all four

wheels. Install tire chains on the rear

wheels when driving on slippery roads

and drive carefully.

.This vehicle is not designed for offroad

(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandy

or muddy roads that tires may get stuck

in.

.For AWD equipped vehicles, do not

attempt to raise two wheels off the

ground and shift the transmission to

any D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position with

the engine running. Doing so may result

in drivetrain damage or unexpected

vehicle movement which could result in

serious vehicle damage or personal

injury.

.Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped

vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer,

(such as the dynamometers used by

some states for emissions testing), or

similar equipment even if the other two

wheels are raised off the ground. Make

sure you inform test facility personnel

that your vehicle is equipped with AWD

before it is placed on a dynamometer.

Using the wrong test equipment may

result in drivetrain damage or unex-

pected vehicle movement which could

result in serious vehicle damage or

personal injury.

.When a wheel is off the ground due to an

unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel

excessively.

Move the shift lever from D (Drive) to the

left into the manual shift gate. The trans-

mission position indicator in the meter

shows “DS”.

In the DS (Drive Sport) mode, the transmis-

sion changes to the “sporty” driving shift

operation, creating a more aggressive

acceleration feeling than the D (Drive)

mode and providing a gear change sensa-

tion when the driver accelerates quickly.

When the driver selects the manual shift

mode using the shift lever during the DS

(Drive Sport) mode operation, the driver

must move the shift lever from DS (Drive

Sport) to D (Drive) and back again to re-

select the DS (Drive Sport) mode.

position and selects an appropriate gear

depending on the road conditions such as

uphill, downhill or curving roads.

Control on uphill and curving roads:

GUID-021986A2-B56F-4CA8-90AE-585C0BA24D53

A low gear is maintained that suits the

degree of the slope or curve to allow

smooth driving with a small number of

shifts.

Control on downhill roads:

GUID-2CB69CCC-77B5-4CC3-9F20-582DB91B51C4

The adaptive shift control system shifts to

a low gear that suits the degree of the

slope, and uses the engine braking to

reduce the number of times that the brake

must be used.

Control on winding roads:

GUID-212979C0-7DA8-466F-8A26-E04E607DCAB4

A low gear is maintained on continuous

curves that involve repeated acceleration

and deceleration, so that smooth accelera-

tion is available instantly when the accel-

erator pedal is depressed.

NOTE:

.Adaptive shift control may not operate

when the transmission oil temperature

is low immediately after the start of

driving or when it is very hot.

.During some driving situations, hard

braking for example, the adaptive shift

control may automatically operate. The

transmission may automatically shift

to a lower gear for engine braking. This

increases engine speed but not vehicle

speed. Vehicle speed is controlled by

the accelerator pedal when the vehicle

is in the Adaptive shift control mode.

.When the adaptive shift control oper-

ates, the transmission sometimes

maintains a lower gear for a longer

period of time than when adaptive shift

control is not operating. Engine speed

will be higher for a specific vehicle

speed while ASC system is operating

than when ASC is not operating.

GUID-5A3847FC-E9B5-4396-AB95-CD0C8AD1757D

WARNING

.Be sure the parking brake is fully

released before driving. Failure to do so

can cause brake failure and lead to an

accident.

.Do not release the parking brake from

outside the vehicle.

.Do not use the gear shift in place of the

parking brake. When parking, be sure

the parking brake is fully engaged.

.To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the

vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave

children, people who require the assis-

tance of others or pets unattended in

your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-

ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm

change lanes without first activating

your turn signal or, for example, if a

construction zone directs traffic to cross

an existing lane marker. If this occurs

you may need to apply corrective steer-

ing to complete your lane change.

.Because the LDP may not activate under

the road, weather, and lane marker

conditions described in this section, it

may not activate every time your vehicle

begins to leave its lane and you will need

to apply corrective steering.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

tions for proper use of the BSW system

could result in serious injury or death.

.The BSW system is not a replacement for

proper driving procedure and is not

designed to prevent contact with vehi-

cles or objects. When changing lanes,

always use the side and rear mirrors and

turn and look in the direction your

vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to

change lanes. Never rely solely on the

BSW system.

.There is a limitation to the detection

capability of the radar. Not every moving

object or vehicle will be detected. Using

the BSW system under some road,

ground, lane marker, traffic or weather

conditions could lead to improper sys-

tem operation. Always rely on your own

operation to avoid accidents.

The BSW system helps alert the driver of

other vehicles in adjacent lanes when

changing lanes.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

GUID-21377D06-B3B4-4D7F-B4FD-38C150393CC3

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations for

the BSW system. Failure to operate the

vehicle in accordance with these system

limitations could result in serious injury or

death.

.The BSW system cannot detect all

vehicles under all conditions.

.The radar sensors may not be able to

detect and activate BSW when certain

objects are present such as:

—

Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.

—

Vehicles such as motorcycles, low

height vehicles, or high ground

clearance vehicles.

—

Oncoming vehicles.

—

Vehicles remaining in the detection

zone when you accelerate from a

stop.

—

A vehicle merging into an adjacent

lane at a speed approximately the

same as your vehicle.

—

A vehicle approaching rapidly from

behind.

—

A vehicle which your vehicle over-

takes rapidly.

—

A vehicle that passes through the

detection zone quickly.

—

When overtaking several vehicles in

a row, the vehicles after the first

vehicle may not be detected if they

are traveling close together.

.The radar sensor’s detection zone is

designed based on a standard lane

width. When driving in a wider lane, the

radar sensors may not detect vehicles in

an adjacent lane. When driving in a

narrow lane, the radar sensors may

detect vehicles driving two lanes away.

.The radar sensors are designed to ignore

most stationary objects, however ob-

jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage

and parked vehicles may occasionally be

detected. This is a normal operating

condition.

.The following conditions may reduce the

ability of the radar to detect other

vehicles:

—

Severe weather

—

Road spray

—

Ice build-up on the vehicle

—

Frost build-up on the vehicle

—

Dirt build-up on the vehicle

.Do not attach stickers (including trans-

parent material), install accessories or

apply additional paint near the radar

sensors. These conditions may reduce

the ability of the radar to detect other

vehicles.

.Excessive noise (for example, audio

system volume, open vehicle window)

will interfere with the chime sound, and

it may not be heard.

JVS0636X

The system is intended to enhance the

operation of the vehicle when following a

vehicle traveling in the same lane and

direction.

If the distance sensor

detects a slower

moving vehicle ahead, the system will

reduce the vehicle speed so that your

vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the

selected distance.

The system automatically controls the

throttle and applies the brakes (up to

40% of vehicle braking power) if neces-

sary.

The detection range of the sensor is

approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control

mode operation

GUID-3E0A4B53-4CBC-44DE-AA04-74580CD76B3A

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control

mode is designed to maintain a selected

distance and reduce the speed to match

the slower vehicle ahead. The system will

decelerate the vehicle as necessary and if

the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the

vehicle decelerates to a standstill. How-

ever, the ICC system can only apply up to

40% of the vehicle’s total braking power.

This system should only be used when

traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to

remain fairly constant or when vehicle

speeds change gradually. If a vehicle

moves into the traveling lane ahead or if

a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decele-

rates, the distance between vehicles may

become closer because the ICC system

cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly en-

ough. If this occurs, the ICC system will

sound a warning chime and blink the

system display to notify the driver to take

necessary action.

The system will cancel and a warning

chime will sound if the speed is below

approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a

vehicle is not detected ahead. The system

will also disengage when the vehicle goes

above the maximum set speed.

See “Approach warning” (P.5-49).

The following items are controlled in the

vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:

.When there are no vehicles traveling

ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

control mode maintains the speed set

by the driver. The set speed range is

between approximately 20 and 90 MPH

(32 and 144 km/h).

.When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,

the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control

mode adjusts the speed to maintain the

distance, selected by driver, from the

vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed

range is up to the set speed. If the

vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the

vehicle decelerates to a standstill with-

in the limitations of the system. The

system will cancel once it judges a

standstill with a warning chime.

.When the vehicle traveling ahead has

moved out from its lane of travel, the

vehicle-to-vehicle distance control

mode accelerates and maintains vehi-

cle speed up to the set speed.

The ICC system does not control vehicle

speed or warn you when you approach

stationary and slow moving vehicles. You

must pay attention to vehicle operation to

maintain proper distance from vehicles

ahead when approaching toll gates or

traffic congestion.

5-42 Starting and driving

SSD0254

When driving on the freeway at a set speed

and approaching a slower traveling vehicle

ahead, the ICC will adjust the speed to

maintain the distance, selected by the

driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the

vehicle ahead changes lanes or exits the

freeway, the ICC system will accelerate and

maintain the speed up to the set speed.

Pay attention to the driving operation to

maintain control of the vehicle as it

accelerates to the set speed.

The vehicle may not maintain the set speed

on winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you

will have to manually control the vehicle

speed.

Normally when controlling the distance to a

vehicle ahead, this system automatically

accelerates or decelerates your vehicle

according to the speed of the vehicle

ahead. Depress the accelerator pedal to

properly accelerate your vehicle when

acceleration is required for a lane change.

Depress the brake pedal when decelera-

tion is required to maintain a safe distance

to the vehicle ahead due to its sudden

braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay

alert when using the ICC system.

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may sound

and the system display may blink when

the ICC sensor detects some reflectors

which are fitted on vehicles in other lanes

or on the side of the road. This may cause

the ICC system to decelerate or accelerate

the vehicle. The ICC sensor may detect

these reflectors when the vehicle is driven

on winding roads, hilly roads or when

entering or exiting a curve. The ICC sensor

may also detect reflectors on narrow roads

or in road construction zones. In these

cases you will have to manually control the

proper distance ahead of your vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected

by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or

driving position in the lane) or traffic or

vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations for

the ICC system. Failure to operate the

vehicle in accordance with these system

limitations could result in serious injury or

death.

.The system is primarily intended for use

on straight, dry, open roads with light

traffic. It is not advisable to use the

system in city traffic or congested areas.

.This system will not adapt automatically

to road conditions. This system should

be used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not

use the system on roads with sharp

curves, or on icy roads, in heavy rain or

in fog.

.As there is a performance limit to the

distance control function, never rely

solely on the ICC system. This system

does not correct careless, inattentive or

absent-minded driving, or overcome

poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad

weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by

depressing the brake pedal, depending

on the distance to the vehicle ahead and

the surrounding circumstances in order

to maintain a safe distance between

vehicles.

.If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the

vehicle decelerates to a standstill within

the limitations of the system. The

system will cancel once it judges that

the vehicle has come to a standstill and

sound a warning chime. To prevent the

vehicle from moving, the driver must

depress the brake pedal.

.Always pay attention to the operation of

the vehicle and be ready to manually

control the proper following distance.

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control

mode of the ICC system may not be able

to maintain the selected distance be-

tween vehicles (following distance) or

selected vehicle speed under some

circumstances.

.The system may not detect the vehicle in

front of you in certain road or weather

conditions. To avoid accidents, never use

the ICC system under the following

conditions:

—

On roads where the traffic is heavy

or there are sharp curves

—

On slippery road surfaces such as

on ice or snow, etc.

—

During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

etc.)

—

When the windshield wiper is oper-

ated at the low speed (LO) or high

speed (HI) position, the ICC system is

automatically canceled.

—

When strong light (for example, at

sunrise or sunset) is directly shining

on the front of the vehicle

—

When rain, snow or dirt adhere to

the system sensor

—

On steep downhill roads (the vehi-

cle may go beyond the set vehicle

speed and frequent braking may

result in overheating the brakes)

—

quent acceleration or deceleration

—

In some road or traffic conditions, a

vehicle or object can unexpectedly

come into the sensor detection zone

and cause automatic braking. Always

stay alert and avoid using the ICC

system when it is not recommended

in this section.

The distance sensor will not detect the

following objects:

.Stationary and slow moving vehicles

.Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

.Oncoming vehicles in the same lane

.Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel

lane

The sensor generally detects the signals

returned from the reflectors on a vehicle

ahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannot

detect the reflector on the vehicle ahead,

the ICC system may not maintain the

selected distance.

The following are some conditions in which

the sensor cannot detect the signals:

.When the reflector of the vehicle ahead

is positioned high on the vehicle

(trailer, etc.)

.When the reflector on the vehicle ahead

is missing, damaged or covered

.When the reflector of the vehicle ahead

is covered with dirt, snow and road

spray

.When the snow or road spray from

traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s

visibility

.When dense exhaust or other smoke

(black smoke) from vehicles reduces

the sensor’s visibility

.When excessively heavy baggage is

loaded in the rear seat or the luggage

room of your vehicle

The ICC system is designed to automati-

cally check the sensor’s operation within

the limitation of the system. When the

sensor is covered with dirt or is obstructed,

the system will automatically be canceled.

If the sensor is covered with ice, a

transparent or translucent vinyl bag, etc.,

the ICC system may not detect them. In

these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-

tance control mode may not cancel and

may not be able to maintain the selected

following distance from the vehicle ahead.

Be sure to check and clean the sensor

regularly.

A vehicle ahead may move outside of the

detection zone due to its position within

the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may

not be detected in the same lane ahead if

they are traveling offset from the centerline

of the lane. A vehicle that is entering the

lane ahead may not be detected until the

vehicle has completely moved into the

from the vehicle ahead.

—

When the reflectors on the vehicle

ahead are missing, damaged or

covered.

—

When the reflectors of the vehicle

ahead are covered with dirt, snow or

road spray.

—

When visibility is low (such as rain,

fog, snow, etc.).

—

When snow or road spray from

traveling vehicles is splashed.

—

When dense exhaust or other smoke

(black smoke) from vehicles reduces

the visibility of the sensor.

CAUTION

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),

follow these recommendations to obtain

maximum engine performance and ensure

the future reliability and economy of your

GUID-36F574D4-B395-43F9-8063-4EC12336BC88

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient

Driving Tips to help you achieve the most

fuel economy from your vehicle.

1. Use smooth accelerator and brake

pedal application.

Avoid rapid starts and stops.

Use smooth, gentle accelerator and

brake application whenever possi-

ble.

Maintain constant speed while com-

muting and coast whenever possi-

ble.

2. Maintain constant speed.

Look ahead to try and anticipate and

minimize stops.

Synchronizing your speed with traf-

fic lights allows you to reduce your

number of stops.

Maintaining a steady speed can

minimize red light stops and im-

prove fuel efficiency.

3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher

vehicle speeds.

Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to open windows to cool the

vehicle due to reduced engine load.

Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to use A/C to cool the

vehicle due to increased aerody-

namic drag.

Recirculating the cool air in the cabin

when the A/C is on reduces cooling

load.

4. Drive at economical speeds and dis-

tances.

Observing the speed limit and not

exceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where

legally allowed) can improve fuel

efficiency due to reduced aerody-

namic drag.

Maintaining a safe following dis-

tance behind other vehicles reduces

unnecessary braking.

Safely monitoring traffic to antici-

pate changes in speed permits

reduced braking and smooth accel-

eration changes.

Select a gear range suitable to road

conditions.

5. Use cruise control.

Using cruise control during highway

driving helps maintain a steady

speed.

Cruise control is particularly effec-

tive in providing fuel savings when

driving on flat terrains.

Condition:

(393,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

6. Plan for the shortest route.

Utilize a map or navigation system to

determine the best route to save

time.

7. Avoid idling.

Shutting off your engine when safe

for stops exceeding 30-60 seconds

saves fuel and reduces emissions.

8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.

Automated passes permit drivers to

use special lanes to maintain cruis-

ing speed through the toll and avoid

stopping and starting.

9. Winter warm up.

Limit idling time to minimize impact

to fuel economy.

Vehicles typically need no more than

30 seconds of idling at start-up to

effectively circulate the engine oil

before driving.

Your vehicle will reach its ideal

operating temperature more quickly

while driving versus idling.

10.Keeping your vehicle cool.

Park your vehicle in a covered

parking area or in the shade when-

ever possible.

When entering a hot vehicle, open-

ing the windows will help to reduce

the inside temperature faster, result-

ing in reduced demand on your A/C

system.

GUID-51AEC030-65C9-47EF-B6A3-8493FD8D8CF2

.Keep your engine tuned up.

.Follow the recommended scheduled

maintenance.

.Keep the tires inflated to the correct

pressure. Low tire pressure increases

tire wear and lowers fuel economy.

.Keep the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear

and lowers fuel economy.

.Use the recommended viscosity engine

oil. (See “Engine oil and oil filter

recommendation” (P.10-5).)

The AWD warning light is located in the

meter.

The AWD warning light comes on when the

ignition switch is pushed to the ON

position. It turns off soon after the engine

is started.

If any malfunction occurs in the AWD

system while the engine is running, the

warning light will come on.

The warning light may blink rapidly (about

twice per second) while trying to free a

stuck vehicle due to high power train oil

temperature. The driving mode may change

to two-wheel drive. If the warning light

blinks rapidly during operation, stop the

vehicle with the engine idling in a safe

place immediately. Then if the light goes

off after a while, you can continue driving.

A large difference between the diameters

of front and rear wheels will make the

warning light blink slowly (about once per

two seconds). Pull off the road in a safe

area, and idle the engine. Check that all tire

sizes are the same, tire pressure is correct

and tires are not worn.

If the warning light is blinking after the

above operation, have your vehicle

checked as soon as possible. It is recom-

mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for

this service.

WARNING

.For AWD equipped vehicles, do not

attempt to raise two wheels off the

ground and shift the transmission to

any drive or reverse position with the

engine running. Doing so may result in

drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle

movement which could result in serious

vehicle damage or personal injury.

.Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped

vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer (such

as the dynamometers used by some

states for emissions testing) or similar

equipment even if the other two wheels

are raised off the ground. Make sure that

you inform the test facility personnel

that your vehicle is equipped with AWD

before it is placed on a dynamometer.

Using the wrong test equipment may

result in drivetrain damage or unex-

pected vehicle movement which could

result in serious vehicle damage or

personal injury.

CAUTION

.Do not operate the engine on a free roller

when any of the wheels are raised.

.If the warning light comes on while

driving there may be a malfunction in the

WARNING

.The sonar system is a convenience but it

is not a substitute for proper parking.

Always look around and check that it is

safe to do so before parking. Always

move slowly.

.Read and understand the limitations of

the sonar system as contained in this

section. Inclement weather may affect

the function of the sonar system; this

may include reduced performance or a

false activation.

.This system is not designed to prevent

contact with small or moving objects.

.The system is designed as an aid to the

driver in detecting large stationary

objects to help avoid damaging the

vehicle. The system will not detect small

objects below the bumper, and may not

detect objects that are too close to the

bumper or on the ground.

.If your vehicle sustains damage to the

bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or

bent, the sensing zone may be altered

causing inaccurate measurement of ob-

stacles or false alarms.

CAUTION

Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as

possible to hear the tone clearly.

The sonar system sounds a tone to warn

the driver of obstacles near the bumper.

When the “Sonar Display” key is ON, the

sonar indicator will also appear in the

center display. (See “Sonar indicator” (P.5-

78).) The system detects front obstacles

when the shift lever is in the D (Drive)

position or N (Neutral) position and both

front and rear obstacles when the shift

lever is in the R (Reverse) position.

The system may not detect objects at

speeds above 6 MPH (10 km/h) and may

not detect certain angular or moving

objects.

The sonar system detects obstacles up to

3.9 ft (1.2 m) from the bumper with a

decreased coverage area at the outer

corners of the bumper. Refer to the

WARNING

If the engine is not running or is turned off

while driving, the power assist for the

steering will not work. Steering will be

harder to operate.

The power assisted steering uses a hy-

draulic pump, driven by the engine, to

assist steering.

If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks,

you will still have control of the vehicle.

However, much greater steering effort is

needed, especially in sharp turns and at

low speeds.

BRAKING PRECAUTIONS

GUID-C49BFE2F-694A-4B1F-ACF8-78CEF5D760AD

The brake system has two separate hy-

draulic circuits. If one circuit malfunctions,

you will still have braking at two wheels.

You may feel a small click and hear a sound

when the brake pedal is fully depressed

slowly. This is not a malfunction and

indicates that the brake assist mechanism

is operating properly.

Vacuum assisted brakes

GUID-239EE89D-FF2A-4B40-B850-165EEC876EAA

The brake booster aids braking by using

engine vacuum. If the engine stops, you

can stop the vehicle by depressing the

brake pedal. However, greater foot pres-

sure on the brake pedal will be required to

stop the vehicle and the stopping distance

will be longer.

When the brake pedal is depressed slowly

and firmly, you may hear a clicking noise

and feel a slight pulsation. This is normal

and indicates that the Brake Assist System

is operating.

Wet brakes

GUID-44F055D3-0890-4EF5-A5E6-0D716CFF6821

When the vehicle is washed or driven

through water, the brakes may get wet.

As a result, your braking distance will be

longer and the vehicle may pull to one side

during braking.

To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe

speed while lightly tapping the brake pedal

to heat-up the brakes. Do this until the

brakes return to normal. Avoid driving the

vehicle at high speeds until the brakes

function correctly.

PARKING BRAKE BREAK-IN

GUID-09770916-692D-4289-9868-79769B238EA8

Break in the parking brake shoes whenever

the stopping effect of the parking brake is

weakened or whenever the parking brake

shoes and/or drums/rotors are replaced,

in order to assure the best braking

performance.

This procedure is described in the vehicle

service manual. It is recommended you

visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Using the brakes

GUID-6BC2C833-2D36-4C08-91B0-075EF797B006

Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal

while driving. This will cause overheating

of the brakes, wearing out the brake and

pads faster and reduce gas mileage.

To help save the brakes and to prevent the

brakes from overheating, reduce speed

and downshift to a lower gear before going

down a slope or long grade. Overheated

brakes may reduce braking performance

and could result in loss of vehicle control.

WARNING

.While driving on a slippery surface, be

careful when braking, accelerating or

downshifting. Abrupt braking or accel-

erating could cause the wheels to skid

and result in an accident.

.If the engine is not running or is turned

off while driving, the power assist for the

brakes will not work. Braking will be

harder.

When the force applied to the brake pedal

exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is

activated generating greater braking force

than a conventional brake booster even

with light pedal force.

need to apply emergency braking by

sensing a vehicle ahead in the same lane

and the distance and relative speed from it,

it applies the brake pre-pressure before

the driver depresses the brake pedal and

helps improve brake response by reducing

pedal free play.

.This system will not operate when the

vehicle is moving at approximately 20

MPH (32 km/h) or less.

.The pre-pressure function ceases when

the following conditions are met:

— When the driver depresses the

How to handle the sensor

GUID-5FE596BC-1477-47BB-A996-5C1CADB0AE49

The sensor for the Preview Function is

common with Intelligent Cruise Control and

is located below the front bumper.

To keep the Preview Function operating

properly, be sure to observe the following:

.Always keep the sensor clean. Wipe

with a soft cloth carefully so as not to

damage the sensor.

.Do not strike or damage the areas

around the sensor. Do not touch or

remove the screw located on the

sensor. Doing so could cause failure

or malfunction. If the sensor is da-

maged due to an accident, it is recom-

mended you contact an INFINITI retailer.

.Do not attach a sticker (including

transparent material) or install an

accessory near the sensor. This could

cause failure or malfunction.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

GUID-85380D8A-4BD0-498F-B350-7DE5284287C5

WARNING

.The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a

sophisticated device, but it cannot pre-

vent accidents resulting from careless or

dangerous driving techniques. It can

help maintain vehicle control during

braking on slippery surfaces. Remember

that stopping distances on slippery

surfaces will be longer than on normal

surfaces even with ABS. Stopping dis-

tances may also be longer on rough,

gravel or snow covered roads, or if you

are using tire chains. Always maintain a

safe distance from the vehicle in front of

you. Ultimately, the driver is responsible

for safety.

.Tire type and condition may also affect

braking effectiveness.

—

When replacing tires, install the

specified size of tires on all four

wheels.

—

When installing a spare tire, make

sure that it is the proper size and

type as specified on the Tire and

Loading Information label. See “Tire

—

For detailed information, see

“Wheels and tires”(P.8-26).

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) con-

trols the brakes so the wheels do not lock

during hard braking or when braking on

slippery surfaces. The system detects the

rotation speed at each wheel and varies

the brake fluid pressure to prevent each

wheel from locking and sliding. By pre-

venting each wheel from locking, the

system helps the driver maintain steering

control and helps to minimize swerving

and spinning on slippery surfaces.

Using the system

GUID-3868867B-C702-4422-8A3D-5F07812E8BFB

Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.

Depress the brake pedal with firm steady

pressure, but do not pump the brakes. The

ABS will operate to prevent the wheels

from locking up. Steer the vehicle to avoid

obstacles.

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may

result in increased stopping distances.

Self-test feature

GUID-8C38208D-BDD0-4E16-BA43-F07BEDECBDAB

The ABS includes electronic sensors, elec-

tric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a

computer. The computer has a built-in

diagnostic feature that tests the system

each time you start the engine and move

the vehicle at a low speed in forward or

reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may

hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsa-

tion in the brake pedal. This is normal and

does not indicate a malfunction. If the

computer senses a malfunction, it switches

the ABS off and illuminates the ABS

warning light on the instrument panel.

The brake system then operates normally,

but without anti-lock assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during

the self-test or while driving, have the

vehicle checked. It is recommended you

visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Normal operation

GUID-1EBEE483-014E-4CF9-8998-795276421AF5

The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6

MPH (5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies

according to road conditions.

When the ABS senses that one or more

wheels are close to locking up, the actuator

rapidly applies and releases hydraulic

pressure. This action is similar to pumping

the brakes very quickly. You may feel a

pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a

noise from under the hood or feel a

vibration from the actuator when it is

operating. This is normal and indicates

that the ABS is operating properly. How-

ever, the pulsation may indicate that road

conditions are hazardous and extra care is

required while driving.

GUID-A482E96B-B301-4220-AB3C-3EEB8EFE301F

The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system

uses various sensors to monitor driver

inputs and vehicle motion. Under certain

driving conditions, the VDC system helps

to perform the following functions.

.Controls brake pressure to reduce

wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel

so power is transferred to a non

slipping drive wheel on the same axle.

.Controls brake pressure and engine

output to reduce drive wheel slip based

on vehicle speed (traction control func-

tion).

.Controls brake pressure at individual

wheels and engine output to help the

driver maintain control of the vehicle in

the following conditions:

— understeer (vehicle tends to not

follow the steered path despite

increased steering input)

— oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due

to certain road or driving condi-

tions).

The VDC system can help the driver to

maintain control of the vehicle, but it

cannot prevent loss of vehicle control in

all driving situations.

When the VDC system operates, the VDC

warning light in the instrument panel

flashes so note the following:

.The road may be slippery or the system

may determine some action is required

to help keep the vehicle on the steered

path.

.You may feel a pulsation in the brake

pedal and hear a noise or vibration

from under the hood. This is normal and

indicates that the VDC system is work-

ing properly.

.Adjust your speed and driving to the

road conditions.

See “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warn-

ing light” (P.2-16).

If a malfunction occurs in the system, the

VDC warning light illuminates in the

instrument panel. The VDC system auto-

matically turns off.

The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the

VDC system. The VDC off indicator light

illuminates to indicate the VDC system is

off. When the VDC switch is used to turn off

the system, the VDC system still operates

to prevent one drive wheel from slipping by

transferring power to a non slipping drive

wheel. The VDC warning light flashes if

this occurs. All other VDC functions are off,

and the VDC warning light will not

flash. The VDC system is automatically

reset to on when the ignition switch is

placed in the off position then back to the

on position.

See “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warn-

ing light” (P.2-16) and “Vehicle Dynamic

Control (VDC) off indicator light” (P.2-19).

The computer has a built-in diagnostic

feature that tests the system each time you

start the engine and move the vehicle

forward or in reverse at a slow speed. When

the self-test occurs, you may hear a

“clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in

the brake pedal. This is normal and is not

an indication of a malfunction.

WARNING

.The VDC system is designed to help

improve driving stability but does not

prevent accidents due to abrupt steering

operation at high speeds or by careless

or dangerous driving techniques. Reduce

vehicle speed and be especially careful

when driving and cornering on slippery

surfaces and always drive carefully.

TIRE EQUIPMENT

GUID-1CA8DAE2-704C-45E1-ADDE-12FEC45C20DC

SUMMER tires have a tread designed to

provide superior performance on dry pave-

ment. However, the performance of these

tires will be substantially reduced in snowy

and icy conditions. If you operate your

vehicle on snowy or icy roads, INFINITI

recommends the use of MUD & SNOW or

ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels. It is

recommended you consult an INFINITI

retailer for the tire type, size, speed rating

and availability information.

For additional traction on icy roads,

studded tires may be used. However, some

U.S. states and Canadian provinces prohi-

bit their use. Check local, state and

provincial laws before installing studded

tires.

Skid and traction capabilities of studded

snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be

poorer than that of non-studded snow

tires.

Tire chains may be used. For details, see

“Tire chains” (P.8-33).

For all-wheel drive

GUID-839D0174-09FD-4A7F-8017-49970E3872CB

If you install snow tires, they must also be

the same size, brand, construction and

tread pattern on all four wheels.

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT

GUID-6B7C470C-F2FB-4473-B3CE-1FBF3ECC08A9

It is recommended that the following items

be carried in the vehicle during winter:

.A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to

remove ice and snow from the windows

and wiper blades.

.A sturdy, flat board to be placed under

the jack to give it firm support.

.A shovel to dig the vehicle out of

snowdrifts.

.Extra window washer fluid to refill the

reservoir tank.

DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE

GUID-3236EB46-D18D-4D19-956A-78F9BA603AF3

WARNING

.Wet ice (328F, 08C and freezing rain),

very cold snow or ice can be slick and

very hard to drive on. The vehicle will

have much less traction or “grip”under

these conditions. Try to avoid driving on

wet ice until the road is salted or sanded.

.Whatever the condition, drive with cau-

tion. Accelerate and slow down with

care. If accelerating or downshifting too

fast, the drive wheels will lose even more

traction.

.Allow more stopping distance under

these conditions. Braking should be

started sooner than on dry pavement.

.Allow greater following distances on

slippery roads.

.Watch for slippery spots (glare ice).

These may appear on an otherwise clear

road in shaded areas. If a patch of ice is

seen ahead, brake before reaching it. Try

not to brake while on the ice, and avoid

any sudden steering maneuvers.

.Do not use the cruise control on slippery

roads.

.Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gases

under your vehicle. Keep snow clear of

the exhaust pipe and from around your

vehicle.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-

TEM (TPMS)

GUID-7478345F-A7C3-427E-ABAB-5ADEB0DD4ED3

This vehicle is equipped with the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It

monitors tire pressure of all tires except

the spare. When the low tire pressure

warning light is lit and the CHECK TIRE

PRESSURE warning appears on the vehicle

information display, one or more of your

tires is significantly under-inflated. If the

vehicle is being driven with low tire

pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn

you of it by the low tire pressure warning

light. This system will activate only when

the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16

MPH (25 km/h). For more details, see

“Warning lights, indicator lights and audi-

ble reminders” (P.2-10) and “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-4).

WARNING

.If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sudden

steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,

reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to

a safe location and stop the vehicle as

soon as possible. Driving with under-

inflated tires may permanently damage

the tires and increase the likelihood of

tire failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur and may lead to an accident

and could result in serious personal

injury. Check the tire pressure for all

four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the

recommended COLD tire pressure shown

on the Tire and Loading Information

label to turn the low tire pressure

warning light OFF. If the light still

illuminates while driving after adjusting

the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you

have a flat tire, replace it with a spare

tire as soon as possible.

.Since the spare tire is not equipped with

the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted

or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not

function and the low tire pressure warn-

ing light will flash for approximately 1

minute. The light will remain on after 1

minute. Have your tires replaced and/or

TPMS system reset as soon as possible.

It is recommended you visit an INFINITI

retailer for these services.

.Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by INFINITI could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

7-2 Appearance and care

GUID-7F4AA201-20C6-490D-A61B-595B195E20BC

In order to maintain the appearance of your

vehicle, it is important to take proper care

of it.

To protect the paint surface, wash your

vehicle as soon as you can:

.after a rainfall to prevent possible

damage from acid rain

.after driving on coastal roads

.when contaminants such as soot, bird

droppings, tree sap, metal particles or

bugs get on the paint surface

.when dust or mud builds up on the

surface

Whenever possible, store or park your

vehicle inside a garage or in a covered

area.

When it is necessary to park outside, park

in a shady area or protect the vehicle with a

body cover.

Be careful not to scratch the paint surface

when putting on or removing the body

cover.

WASHING

GUID-7A3AF889-0205-4B0E-B1BC-B3E3BFE8501C

Wash dirt off the vehicle with a wet sponge

and plenty of water. Clean the vehicle

thoroughly using a mild soap, a special

vehicle soap or general purpose dishwash-

ing liquid mixed with clean, lukewarm

(never hot) water.

CAUTION

.Do not use car washes that use acid in

the detergent. Some car washes, espe-

cially brushless ones, use some acid for

cleaning. The acid may react with some

plastic vehicle components, causing

them to crack. This could affect their

appearance, and also could cause them

not to function properly. Always check

with your car wash to confirm that acid is

not used.

.Do not wash the vehicle with strong

household soap, strong chemical deter-

gents, gasoline or solvents.

.Do not wash the vehicle in direct sun-

light or while the vehicle body is hot, as

the surface may become water-spotted.

.Avoid using tight-napped or rough

cloths, such as washing mitts. Care must

be taken when removing caked-on dirt or

other foreign substances so the paint

surface is not scratched or damaged.

Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of clean

water.

Inside flanges, seams and folds on the

doors, hatches and hood are particularly

vulnerable to the effects of road salt.

Therefore, these areas must be regularly

cleaned. Make sure that the drain holes in

the lower edge of the door are open. Spray

water under the body and in the wheel

wells to loosen the dirt and wash away

road salt.

Avoid leaving water spots on the paint

surface by using a damp chamois to dry the

vehicle.

WAXING

GUID-13808BF4-CEE8-4914-9A0F-260064E83766

Regular waxing protects the paint surface

and helps retain new vehicle appearance.

Polishing is recommended to remove built-

up wax residue and to avoid a weathered

appearance before reapplying wax.

An INFINITI retailer can assist you in

choosing the proper product.

.Wax your vehicle only after a thorough

CLEANING EXTERIOR

washing. Follow the instructions sup-

plied with the wax.

.Do not use a wax containing any

abrasives, cutting compounds or clea-

ners that may damage the vehicle

finish.

Machine compound or aggressive polish-

ing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish

may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.

REMOVING SPOTS

GUID-8F8DB17E-6F06-4A94-B5DB-301459DF8353

Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,

insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible

from the paint surface to avoid lasting

damage or staining. Special cleaning

products are available at an INFINITI

retailer or any automotive accessory

stores.

UNDERBODY

GUID-61833591-5ACA-4C1B-84EA-D7E30F097A65

In areas where road salt is used in winter,

the underbody must be cleaned regularly.

This will prevent dirt and salt from building

up and causing the acceleration of corro-

sion on the underbody and suspension.

Before the winter period and again in the

spring, the underseal must be checked

and, if necessary, re-treated.

GLASS

GUID-88B09BFB-71A0-4C45-AF8A-B52C5B3F43EF

Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and

dust film from the glass surfaces. It is

normal for glass to become coated with a

film after the vehicle is parked in the hot

sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will

easily remove this film.

CAUTION

When cleaning the inside of the windows,

do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive

cleaners or chlorine-based disinfectant clea-

ners. They could damage the electrical

conductors, radio antenna elements or rear

window defroster elements.

WHEELS

GUID-F1431BF8-79F9-4043-AFAD-488433A7BAE0

Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle

to maintain their appearance.

.Clean the inner side of the wheels when

the wheel is changed or the underside

of the vehicle is washed.

.Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents

or corrosion. Such damage may cause

loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire

bead.

.INFINITI recommends that the road

wheels be waxed to protect against

road salt in areas where it is used

during winter.

CAUTION

Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing

the wheels.

Aluminum alloy wheels

GUID-C1006908-8BA7-4519-B69B-31996B110CE2

Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in

a mild soap solution, especially during

winter months in areas where road salt is

used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not

removed.

CAUTION

Follow the directions below to avoid stain-

ing or discoloring the wheels:

.Do not use a cleaner that uses strong

acid or alkali contents to clean the

wheels.

.Do not apply wheel cleaners to the

wheels when they are hot. The wheel

temperature should be the same as

CHROME PARTS

GUID-BB65BA92-9AB1-4959-BA1B-3D6978C7DE45

Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-

abrasive chrome polish to maintain the

finish.

TIRE DRESSING

GUID-C4834CAA-6AB9-4461-8146-49C833439B94

INFINITI does not recommend the use of

tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a

coating to the tires to help reduce dis-

coloration of the rubber. If a tire dressing is

applied to the tires, it may react with the

coating and form a compound. This com-

pound may come off the tire while driving

and stain the vehicle paint.

If you choose to use a tire dressing, take

the following precautions:

.Use a water-based tire dressing. The

coating on the tire dissolves more

easily with an oil-based tire dressing.

.Apply a light coat of tire dressing to

help prevent it from entering the tire

tread/grooves (where it would be diffi-

cult to remove).

.Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry

towel. Make sure the tire dressing is

completely removed from the tire

tread/grooves.

.Allow the tire dressing to dry as

recommended by tire dressing manu-

facturer.

GUID-24528D5D-B84E-4C6F-BFBD-878C7BB6A3ED

Occasionally remove loose dust from the

interior trim, plastic parts and seats using

a vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush.

Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with a

clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap

solution, then wipe clean with a dry soft

cloth.

Regular care and cleaning is required in

order to maintain the appearance of the

leather.

Before using any fabric protector, read the

manufacturer’s recommendations. Some

fabric protectors contain chemicals that

may stain or bleach the seat material.

Use a cloth dampened only with water, to

clean the meter and gauge lens.

WARNING

Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot

steam cleaners) on the seat. This can

damage the seat or occupant classification

sensors. This can also affect the operation of

the air bag system and result in serious

personal injury.

CLEANING INTERIOR

Condition:

(427,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 6/ 6 Model: 2017MY INFINITI QX50(J50) OM17E00J50U0 ]

CAUTION

.Never use benzine, thinner, or any

similar material.

.For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dampened

with water. Never use a rough cloth,

alcohol, benzine, thinner or any kind of

solvent or paper towel with a chemical

cleaning agent. They will scratch or

cause discoloration to the lens.

.Do not spray any liquid such as water on

the meter lens. Spraying liquid may

cause the system to malfunction.

.Small dirt particles can be abrasive and

damaging to the leather surfaces and

should be removed promptly. Do not use

saddle soap, car waxes, polishes, oils,

cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents or

ammonia-based cleaners as they may

damage the leather’s natural finish.

.Only use fabric protectors approved by

INFINITI.

.Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on

meter or gauge lens covers. It may

damage the lens cover.

AIR FRESHENERS

GUID-0FC7210E-AE5F-45E0-B3FE-FCBD5F476CC3

Most air fresheners use a solvent that

could affect the vehicle interior. If you use

an air freshener, take the following pre-

cautions:

.Hanging-type air fresheners can cause

permanent discoloration when they

contact vehicle interior surfaces. Place

the air freshener in a location that

allows it to hang free and not contact

an interior surface.

.Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip

on the vents. These products can cause

immediate damage and discoloration

when spilled on interior surfaces.

Carefully read and follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions before using air fresh-

eners.

FLOOR MATS

GUID-2672EC1E-4A3B-465E-B00C-FE1E2335C140

WARNING

To avoid potential pedal interference that

may result in a collision, injury or death:

.NEVER place a floor mat on top of

another floor mat in the driver front

position or install then upside down or

backwards.

.It is recommended that you use only

genuine INFINITI floor mats specifically

designed for use in your vehicle model

Moisture

GUID-D133CD7B-DAAB-47F5-A78D-E2BA537D466C

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on

the vehicle body underside can accelerate

corrosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry

completely inside the vehicle, and should

be removed for drying to avoid floor panel

corrosion.

Relative humidity

GUID-EB397E0C-8443-4E3C-A549-AF705781F8C0

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of

high relative humidity, especially those

areas where the temperatures stay above

freezing where atmospheric pollution ex-

ists, or where road salt is used.

Temperature

GUID-F7936E48-9F77-4961-AC71-40591166C8EB

A temperature increase will accelerate the

rate of corrosion to those parts which are

not well ventilated.

Air pollution

GUID-43677B83-426E-4ACC-91B4-98986E73CB6C

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in

the air in coastal areas, or heavy road salt

use will accelerate the corrosion process.

Road salt will also accelerate the disinte-

gration of paint surfaces.

TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM

CORROSION

GUID-1437C3F5-ECB1-40F2-A67C-1C6456E396FD

.Wash and wax your vehicle often to

When performing any inspection or main-

tenance work on your vehicle, always take

care to prevent serious accidental injury to

yourself or damage to the vehicle. The

following are general precautions which

should be closely observed.

WARNING

.Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply

the parking brake securely and block the

wheels to prevent the vehicle from

moving. Move the shift lever to P (Park).

.Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF

or LOCK position when performing any

parts replacement or repairs.

.Never connect or disconnect the battery

or any transistorized component while

the ignition switch is in the ON position.

.Never leave the engine or automatic

transmission related component har-

nesses disconnected while the ignition

switch is in the ON position.

.If you must work with the engine

running, keep your hands, clothing, hair

and tools away from moving fans, belts

and any other moving parts.

.It is advisable to secure or remove any

loose clothing and remove any jewelry,

such as rings, watches, etc. before

working on your vehicle.

.Always wear eye protection whenever

you work on your vehicle.

.If you must run the engine in an enclosed

space such as a garage, be sure there is

proper ventilation for exhaust gases to

escape.

.Never get under the vehicle while it is

supported only by a jack. If it is

necessary to work under the vehicle,

support it with safety stands.

.Keep smoking materials, flame and

sparks away from fuel tank and the

battery.

.Your vehicle is equipped with an auto-

matic engine cooling fan. It may come on

at any time without warning, even if the

ignition key is in the OFF position and

the engine is not running. To avoid

injury, always disconnect the negative

battery cable before working near the

fan.

.On gasoline engine models, the fuel

filter or fuel lines should be serviced

because the fuel lines are under high

pressure even when the engine is off. It

is recommended you visit an INFINITI

retailer for this service.

CAUTION

.Do not work under the hood while the

engine is hot. Turn the engine off and

wait until it cools down.

.Avoid direct contact with used engine oil

and coolant. Improperly disposed engine

oil, coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids

can damage the environment. Always

conform to local regulations for disposal

of vehicle fluid.

This “8. Do-it-yourself” section gives in-

structions regarding only those items

which are relatively easy for an owner to

The engine cooling system is filled at the

factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50%

Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-

ant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-

round anti-freeze and coolant protection.

The antifreeze solution contains rust and

corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine

cooling system additives are not neces-

sary.

WARNING

.Never remove the radiator or coolant

reservoir cap when the engine is hot.

Wait until the engine and radiator cool

down. Serious burns could be caused by

high pressure fluid escaping from the

radiator. See precautions in “If your

vehicle overheats”(P.6-10).

.The radiator is equipped with a pressure

type radiator cap. To prevent engine

damage, use only a genuine NISSAN

radiator cap.

CAUTION

.Never use any cooling system additives

such as radiator sealer. Additives may

clog the cooling system and cause

damage to the engine, transmission

and/or cooling system.

.When adding or replacing coolant, be

sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long

Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equiva-

lent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-

freeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to

provide antifreeze protection to −348F

(−378C). If additional freeze protection is

needed due to weather where you

operate your vehicle, add Genuine

NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant

(blue) concentrate following the direc-

tions on the container. If an equivalent

coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long

Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used,

follow the coolant manufacturer’s in-

structions to maintain minimum anti-

freeze protection to −348F (−378C). The

use of other types of coolant solutions

other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life

Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent

may damage the engine cooling system.

.The life expectancy of the factory-fill

coolant is 105,000 miles (168,000 km)

or 7 years. Mixing any other type of

coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long

Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue), including

Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/

Coolant (green), or the use of non-

distilled water will reduce the life ex-

pectancy of the factory-fill coolant. Refer

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS)

GUID-9CC8D220-8196-4362-9950-C494673884D4

This vehicle is equipped with the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It

monitors tire pressure of all tires except

the spare. When the low tire pressure

warning light is lit and the CHECK TIRE

PRESSURE warning appears on the vehicle

information display, one or more of your

tires is significantly under-inflated.

The TPMS will activate only when the

vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH

(25 km/h). Also, this system may not

detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for

example a flat tire while driving).

For more details, see “Low tire pressure

warning light” (P.2-14), “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-4) and

“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

” (P.6-3).

Tire inflation pressure

GUID-D7E83032-4B7A-4527-972D-8269F22590B9

Check the pressure of the tires

(including the spare) often and al-

ways prior to long distance trips. The

recommended tire pressure specifi-

cations are shown on the Tire and

Loading Information label under the

“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The

Tire and Loading Information label is

affixed to the driver side center pillar.

Tire pressures should be checked

regularly because:

Most tires naturally lose air over

time.

Tires can lose air suddenly when

driven over potholes or other

objects or if the vehicle strikes a

curb while parking.

The tire pressures should be checked

when the tires are cold. The tires are

considered COLD after the vehicle

has been parked for 3 or more hours,

or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at

moderate speeds.

Incorrect tire pressure, including

under inflation, may adversely affect

tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

.When changing or replacing tires, be

sure all four tires are of the same type

(Example: Summer, All Season or Snow)

and construction. An INFINITI retailer

may be able to help you with information

about tire type, size, speed rating and

availability.

.Replacement tires may have a lower

speed rating than the factory equipped

tires, and may not match the potential

maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed

the maximum speed rating of the tire.

.Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by INFINITI could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

.For additional information regarding

tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety

Information”(US) or “Tire Safety Infor-

mation”(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-

mation Booklet.

All season tires

GUID-9BB582D6-5DCB-4079-89B7-C19D2C973375

INFINITI specifies all season tires on some

models to provide good performance all

year, including snowy and icy road condi-

tions. All Season tires are identified by ALL

SEASON and/or M&S (Mud and Snow) on

the tire sidewall. Snow tires have better

snow traction than All Season tires and

may be more appropriate in some areas.

Summer tires

GUID-BD00967A-7E37-4DD8-9CEC-0B1C05C331F8

INFINITI specifies summer tires on some

models to provide superior performance on

dry roads. Summer tire performance is

substantially reduced in snow and ice.

Summer tires do not have the tire traction

rating M&S on the tire sidewall.

If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy

or icy conditions, INFINITI recommends the

use of SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires on

all four wheels.

Snow tires

GUID-1617EBA1-AEA7-458D-906D-E62D31D192A0

If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to

select tires equivalent in size and load

rating to the original equipment tires. If

you do not, it can adversely affect the

safety and handling of your vehicle.

Generally, snow tires will have lower speed

ratings than factory equipped tires and

may not match the potential maximum

vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum

speed rating of the tire.

If you install snow tires, they must be the

same size, brand, construction and tread

pattern on all four wheels.

For additional traction on icy roads,

studded tires may be used. However, some

U.S. states and Canadian provinces prohi-

bit their use. Check local, state and

provincial laws before installing studded

tires. Skid and traction capabilities of

studded snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces,

may be poorer than that of non-studded

snow tires.

TIRE CHAINS

GUID-9B415C38-B945-4085-A67C-E611501D539F

Use of tire chains may be prohibited

according to location. Check the local laws

before installing tire chains. When instal-

ling tire chains, make sure they are the

proper size for the tires on your vehicle and

are installed according to the chain man-

ufacturer’s suggestions. Use only SAE

Class S chains. Class “S” chains are used

on vehicles with restricted tire to vehicle

clearance. Vehicles that can use Class “S”

chains are designed to meet the SAE

standard minimum clearances between

the tire and the closest vehicle suspension

or body component required to accommo-

date the use of a winter traction device (tire

chains or cables). The minimum clearances

are determined using the factory equipped

tire size. Other types may damage your

vehicle. Use chain tensioners when recom-

mended by the tire chain manufacturer to

ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire

chain must be secured or removed to

prevent the possibility of whipping action

damage to the fenders or underbody. If

possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle

when using tire chains. In addition, drive at

a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle

may be damaged and/or vehicle handling

and performance may be adversely af-

fected.

Tire chains must be installed only on the

rear wheels and not on the front wheels.

Never install tire chains on a TEMPORARY

USE ONLY spare tire.

Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving

with tire chains in such conditions can

cause damage to the various mechanisms

of the vehicle due to some overstress.

Replacing wheels and tires

GUID-27266141-6C17-4AC5-BD67-2552EEED79D9

When replacing a tire, use the same size,

tread design, speed rating and load carry-

ing capacity as originally equipped. (See

“Specifications” (P.10-7) for recommended

types and sizes of tires and wheels.)

WARNING

.The use of tires other than those

recommended or the mixed use of tires

of different brands, construction (bias,

bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns

can adversely affect the ride, braking,

handling, ground clearance, body-to-tire

clearance, tire chain clearance, speed-

ometer calibration, headlight aim and

bumper height. Some of these effects

may lead to accidents and could result in

serious personal injury.

.For Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) models, if

your vehicle was originally equipped

with 4 tires that were the same size

and you are only replacing 2 of the 4

tires, install the new tires on the rear

axle. Placing new tires on the front axle

may cause loss of vehicle control in

some driving conditions and cause an

accident and personal injury.

.If the wheels are changed for any reason,

always replace with wheels which have

the same off-set dimension. Wheels of a

different off-set could cause premature

tire wear, degrade vehicle handling

characteristics and/or interference with

the brake discs/drums. Such interfer-

ence can lead to decreased braking

efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe

wear. See “Wheels and tires”(P.10-8) for

wheel off-set dimensions.

.Since the spare tire is not equipped with

the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted

or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not

function and the low tire pressure warn-

ing light will flash for approximately 1

minute. The light will remain on after 1

USE ONLY spare tire is installed. Avoid

sharp turns and abrupt braking while

driving.

.Periodically check spare tire inflation

pressure. Always keep the pressure of

the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire at

60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar). Always keep

the pressure of the full size spare tire (if

so equipped) at the recommended pres-

sure for standard tires, as indicated on

the Tire and Loading Information label.

For Tire and Loading Information label

location, see “Tire and Loading Informa-

tion label”in the index of this manual.

.With the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare

tire installed do not drive your vehicle at

speeds faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).

.When driving on roads covered with

snow or ice, the TEMPORARY USE ONLY

spare tire should be used on the front

wheels and original tire used on the rear

wheels (drive wheels). Use tire chains

only on the two rear original tires.

.Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE ONLY

spare tire will wear at a faster rate than

the standard tire. Replace the spare tire

as soon as the tread wear indicators

appear.

.Do not use the spare tire on other

vehicles.

.Do not use more than one spare tire at

the same time.

CAUTION

.Do not use tire chains on a TEMPORARY

USE ONLY spare tire. Tire chains will not

fit properly and may cause damage to

the vehicle.

.Because the TEMPORARY USE ONLY

spare tire is smaller than the original

tire, ground clearance is reduced. To

avoid damage to the vehicle, do not

drive over obstacles. Also do not drive

the vehicle through an automatic car

wash since it may get caught.

9-2 Maintenance and schedules

GUID-E43F9B1C-55D3-48FD-9183-3E5AFC77C6BC

Some day-to-day and regular maintenance

is essential to maintain your vehicle in

good mechanical condition, as well as its

emission and engine performance.

It is the owner’s responsibility to make

sure that the scheduled maintenance, as

well as general maintenance, is performed.

As the vehicle owner, you are the only one

who can ensure that your vehicle receives

the proper maintenance. You are a vital link

in the maintenance chain.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

GUID-468690B2-693B-48D8-A2F0-653687BD240D

General maintenance includes those items

which should be checked during normal

day-to-day operation. They are essential

for proper vehicle operation. It is your

responsibility to perform these procedures

regularly as prescribed.

Performing general maintenance checks

requires minimal mechanical skill and only

a few general automotive tools.

These checks or inspections can be done

by yourself, a qualified technician or, if you

prefer, an INFINITI retailer.

Under the hood and vehicle

GUID-47775A4B-3853-4D9F-81BE-28F170C30601

The maintenance items listed here should

be checked periodically (for example, each

time you check the engine oil or refuel).

Battery*: Check the fluid level in each cell.

It should be between the MAX and MIN

lines. Vehicles operated in high tempera-

tures or under severe condition require

frequent checks of the battery fluid level.

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations

that can lead to potential battery dis-

charge and potential no-start conditions

such as:

1. Installation or extended use of electro-

nic 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 belts*: Make sure that no belt

is 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, imme-

diately have the exhaust system inspected.

It is recommended you visit an INFINITI

retailer for this service. (See “Precautions

when starting and driving” (P.5-3).)

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 gasoline fumes are evident, check for the

cause and have it corrected immediately.

Power steering fluid level* and lines:

Check the level when the fluid is cold, with

the engine off. Check the lines for proper

attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.

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.

Underbody: The underbody is frequently

exposed to corrosive substances such as

those used on icy roads or to control dust.

It is very important to remove these

substances, otherwise rust will form on

the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around

the exhaust system. At the end of winter,

the underbody should be thoroughly

flushed with plain water, being careful to

clean those areas where mud and dirt may

accumulate. For additional information,

see “Cleaning exterior” (P.7-2).

FUEL INFORMATION

GUID-B1ED9AC6-0900-4A78-BC9C-5651942113E7

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an

octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock

Index) number (Research octane number

96).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not avail-

able, unleaded regular gasoline with an

octane rating of at least 87 AKI number

(Research octane number 91) may be

temporarily used, but only under the

following precautions:

.Have the fuel tank filled only partially

with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill

up with unleaded premium gasoline as

soon as possible.

.Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt

acceleration.

Use unleaded premium gasoline for max-

imum vehicle performance.

CAUTION

.Using a fuel other than that specified

could adversely affect the emission

control system, and may also affect

warranty coverage.

.Under no circumstances should a leaded

gasoline be used, because this will

damage the three-way catalyst.

.Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your

vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to

run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-15 or E-

85 fuel in a vehicle not specifically

designed for E-15 or E-85 fuel can

adversely affect the emission control

devices and systems of the vehicle.

Damage caused by such fuel is not

covered by the INFINITI new vehicle

limited warranty.

.Do not use fuel that contains the octane

booster methylcyclopentadienyl manga-

nese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel con-

taining MMT may adversely affect

vehicle performance and vehicle emis-

sions. Not all fuel dispensers are labeled

to indicate MMT content, so you may

have to consult your gasoline retailer for

more details. Note that Federal and

California laws prohibit the use of MMT

in reformulated gasoline.

.U.S. government regulations require

ethanol dispensing pumps to be identi-

fied by a small, square, orange and black

label with the common abbreviation or

the appropriate percentage for that

region.

Gasoline specifications

GUID-2DC86A18-DBCC-43CE-B5AB-6E82BC6CB234

INFINITI recommends using gasoline that

meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)

specifications where it is available. Many

of the automobile manufacturers devel-

oped this specification to improve emis-

sion system and vehicle performance. Ask

your service station manager if the gaso-

line meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter

(WWFC) specifications.

Reformulated gasoline

GUID-FFD8DD26-12F6-4333-9BE8-1C83547ED623

Some fuel suppliers are now producing

reformulated gasolines. These gasolines

are specially designed to reduce vehicle

emissions. INFINITI supports efforts to-

wards cleaner air and suggests that you

use reformulated gasoline when available.

Gasoline containing oxygenates

GUID-B34BC7D2-DC81-41BB-894B-637BFA9334E5

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline contain-

ing oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE and

methanol with or without advertising their

presence. INFINITI does not recommend the

use of fuels of which the oxygenate content

and the fuel compatibility for your INFINITI

cannot be readily determined. If in doubt,

ask your service station manager.

If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline,

10-4 Technical and consumer information

please take the following precautions as

the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle

performance problems and/or fuel system

damage.

.The fuel should be unleaded and have

an octane rating no lower than that

recommended for unleaded gasoline.

.If an oxygenate-blend, excepting a

methanol blend, is used, it should

contain no more than 10% oxygenate.

(MTBE may, however, be added up to

15%.)

.E-15 fuel contains more than 10%

oxygenate. E-15 fuel will adversely

affect the emission control devices

and systems of the vehicle and should

not be used. Damage caused by such

fuel is not covered by the INFINITI new

vehicle limited warranty.

.If a methanol blend is used, it should

contain no more than 5% methanol

(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). It

should also contain a suitable amount

of appropriate cosolvents and corro-

sion inhibitors. If not properly formu-

lated with appropriate cosolvents and

corrosion inhibitors, such methanol

blends may cause fuel system damage

and/or vehicle performance problems.

At this time, sufficient data is not

available to ensure that all methanol

blends are suitable for use in INFINITI

vehicles.

If any undesirable driveability problems

such as engine stalling or hard hot starting

are experienced after using oxygenate-

blend fuels, immediately change to a non-

oxygenate fuel or a fuel with a low blend of

MTBE.

Take care not to spill gasoline during

refueling. Gasoline containing oxygenates

can cause paint damage.

E-15 fuel

GUID-0B0AC53C-1D11-48CF-A3BB-7B6C1DAEF14D

E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately

15% fuel ethanol and 85% unleaded

gasoline. E-15 can only be used in vehicles

designed to run on E-15 fuel. Do not use E-

15 in your vehicle. U.S. government reg-

ulations require fuel ethanol dispensing

pumps to be identified with small, square,

orange and black label with the common

abbreviation or the appropriate percentage

for that region.

E-85 fuel

GUID-02C7B23E-FF4D-482C-B234-9B460BBAD3CE

E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately

85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded

gasoline. E-85 can only be used in a

Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do not use E-

85 fuel in your vehicle. U.S. government

regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing

pumps to be identified by a small, square,

orange and black label with the common

abbreviation or the appropriate percentage

for that region.

Fuel containing MMT

GUID-57F200D5-97FF-4FD7-BF8E-56970FAE9640

MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manga-

nese tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting

additive. INFINITI does not recommend the

use of fuel containing MMT. Such fuel may

adversely affect vehicle performance, in-

cluding the emissions control system. Note

that while some fuel pumps label MMT

content, not all do, so you may have to

consult your gasoline retailer for more

details.

Aftermarket fuel additives

GUID-96F9552D-F837-4E26-B543-683050AB2993

INFINITI does not recommend the use of

any aftermarket fuel additives (Example:

fuel injector cleaner, octane booster, in-

take valve deposit removers, etc.) which

are sold commercially. Many of these

additives intended for gum, varnish or

deposit removal may contain active solvent

or similar ingredients that can be harmful

to the fuel system and engine.

Octane rating tips

GUID-4D085589-81ED-499D-9F14-D3BD8B8AF9DF

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane

rating lower than recommended above can

cause persistent, heavy spark knock.

(Spark knock is a metallic rapping noise.)

If severe, this can lead to engine damage.

If you detect a persistent heavy spark

knock even when using gasoline of the

stated octane rating, or if you hear steady

spark knock while holding a steady speed

on level roads, it is recommended you have

an INFINITI retailer correct the condition.

Failure to correct the condition is misuse of

the vehicle, for which INFINITI is not

responsible.

Incorrect ignition timing will result in

knocking, after-run or overheating. This in

turn may cause excessive fuel consumption

or damage to the engine. If any of the

above symptoms are encountered, have

your vehicle checked. It is recommended

you visit an INFINITI retailer for servicing.

However, now and then you may notice

light spark knock for a short time while

accelerating or driving up hills. This is no

cause for concern, because you get the

greatest fuel benefit when there is light

spark knock for a short time under heavy

engine load.

Selecting the correct oil

GUID-7CFE5B65-2AB2-46E3-BE32-0C83A26A2E35

It is essential to choose the correct grade,

quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure

satisfactory engine life and performance,

see “Capacities and recommended fluids/

lubricants” (P.10-2). INFINITI recommends

the use of an energy conserving oil in order

to improve fuel economy.

Oil viscosity

GUID-77F9E284-28E9-463C-B950-9F5EE57C9710

The engine oil viscosity or thickness

changes with temperature. Because of this,

it is important that the engine oil viscosity

be selected based on the temperatures at

which the vehicle will be operated before

the next oil change. Choosing an oil

viscosity other than that recommended

could cause serious engine damage.

Selecting the correct oil filter

GUID-A11EC6F4-F431-47EF-A6DB-71F78C553E42

Your new vehicle is equipped with a high-

quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. When

replacing, use the genuine oil filter or its

equivalent for the reason described in

change intervals.

Change intervals

GUID-D929FFBA-7EB0-400B-846E-01EF1A705718

The oil and oil filter change intervals for

your engine are based on the use of the

specified quality oils and filters. Oil and

filter other than the specified quality, or oil

and filter change intervals longer than

recommended could reduce engine life.

Damage to engines caused by improper

maintenance or use of incorrect oil and

filter quality and/or viscosity is not covered

by the new INFINITI vehicle limited warran-

ties.

Your engine was filled with a high quality

engine oil when it was built. You do not

have to change the oil before the first

recommended change interval.

If you plan to travel in another country, you

should first find out if the fuel available is

suitable for your vehicle’s engine.

Using fuel with too low an octane rating

may cause engine damage. All gasoline

vehicles must be operated with unleaded

gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking your

vehicle to areas where appropriate fuel is

not available.

When transferring the registration of your

vehicle to another country, state, province

or district, it may be necessary to modify

the vehicle to meet local laws and regula-

tions.

The laws and regulations for motor vehicle

emission control and safety standards vary

according to the country, state, province or

district; therefore, vehicle specifications

may differ.

When any vehicle is to be taken into

another country, state, province or district

and registered, its modifications, trans-

portation, and registration are the respon-

sibility of the user. INFINITI is not

responsible for any inconvenience that

WARNING

It is extremely dangerous to

ride in a cargo area inside the

vehicle. In a collision, people

riding in these areas are more

likely to be seriously injured

or killed.

Do not allow people to ride in

any area of vehicle that is not

equipped with seats and seat

belts.

Be sure everyone in your

vehicle is in a seat and using

a seat belt properly.

TERMS

GUID-018337C2-BD16-4CCC-8103-3404EC98C824

It is important to familiarize yourself

with the following terms before

loading your vehicle:

Curb Weight (actual weight of your

vehicle) - vehicle weight includ-

ing: standard and optional equip-

ment, fluids, emergency tools,

and spare tire assembly. This

weight does not include passen-

gers and cargo.

GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb

weight plus the combined weight

of passengers and cargo.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-

ing) - maximum total combined

weight of the unloaded vehicle,

passengers, luggage, hitch, trailer

tongue load and any other op-

tional equipment. This informa-

tion is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.

M.V.S.S. label.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -

maximum weight (load) limit spe-

cified for the front or rear axle.

This information is located on the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight

Rating) - The maximum total

weight rating of the vehicle, pas-

sengers, cargo, and trailer.

Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load

limit, Total load capacity - max-

imum total weight limit specified

of the load (passengers and car-

go) for the vehicle. This is the

maximum combined weight of

occupants and cargo that can be

loaded into the vehicle. If the

vehicle is used to tow a trailer,

the trailer tongue weight must be

included as part of the cargo load.

This information is located on the

Tire and Loading Information la-

bel.

Cargo capacity - permissible

weight of cargo, the weight of

total occupants weight subtracted

from the load limit.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

GUID-6B30F71E-CCCD-42A5-93C6-95AD0B91DCBE

Do not exceed the load limit of your

vehicle shown as “The combined

weight of occupants and cargo” on

the Tire and Loading Information

label. Do not exceed the number of

occupants shown as “Seating Capa-

city” on the Tire and Loading Infor-

mation label.

To get “the combined weight of

occupants and cargo”, add the

weight of all occupants, then add

the total luggage weight. Examples

are shown in the illustration.

Steps for determining correct load

limit

GUID-386F7DD8-CC2E-434E-A1EA-CC0BAD0D730F

Locate the statement “The com-

bined weight of occupants and

cargo should never exceed XXX kg

or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s

placard.

Determine the combined weight

of the driver and passengers that

will be riding in your vehicle.

Subtract the combined weight of

the driver and passengers from

XXX kg or XXX lbs.

The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and

luggage load capacity. For exam-

ple, if the XXX amount equals

1400 lbs. and there will be five

150 lb. passengers in your vehi-

cle, the amount of available cargo

and luggage load capacity is 650

lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650

lbs) or 640 − 340 (5 x 70) = 300

kg.)

Determine the combined weight

of luggage and cargo being

loaded on the vehicle. That weight

may not safely exceed the avail-

able cargo and luggage load

capacity calculated in Step 4.

If your vehicle will be towing a

trailer, load from your trailer will

be transferred to your vehicle.

Consult this manual to determine

how this reduces the available

cargo and luggage load capacity

of your vehicle.

Before driving a loaded vehicle,

confirm that you do not exceed the

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

or the Gross Axle Weight Rating

(GAWR) for your vehicle. (See “Mea-

surement of weights” (P.10-15).)

Also check tires for proper inflation

pressures. See the Tire and Loading

Information label.

LOADING TIPS

GUID-95340E9C-C2F7-4446-AC3D-82107148AB45

The GVW must not exceed GVWR

or GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.

S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.

Do not load the front and rear axle

to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed

the GVWR.

WARNING

Properly secure all cargo to

help prevent it from sliding or

shifting. Do not place cargo

higher than the seatbacks. In

a sudden stop or collision,

unsecured cargo could cause

personal injury.

Do not load your vehicle any

heavier than the GVWR or the

maximum front and rear

GAWRs. If you do, parts of

your vehicle can break, tire

damage could occur, or it can

change the way your vehicle

handles. This could result in

loss of control and cause

personal injury.

Overloading could not only

shorten the life of your vehi-

cle and the tires, but also

could lead to hazardous vehi-

cle handling and long braking

distance. This may cause a

premature tire malfunction,

which could result in a serious

accident and personal injury.

Failures caused by overload-

ing are not covered by the

vehicle’s warranty.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

GUID-2C084C90-D011-46EE-875C-4AE4E5481EB0

Secure loose items to prevent weight

shifts that could affect the balance of

your vehicle. When the vehicle is

loaded, drive to a scale and weigh

the front and the rear wheels sepa-

rately to determine axle loads. In-

dividual axle loads should not

exceed either of the gross axle

weight ratings (GAWR). The total of

the axle loads should not exceed the

gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).

These ratings are given on the

vehicle certification label. If weight

ratings are exceeded, move or re-

move items to bring all weights

below the ratings.

FLAT TOWING

GUID-D5642553-EB9C-4F05-970D-4770E8C563C0

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on

the ground is sometimes called flat towing.

This method is sometimes used when

towing a vehicle behind a recreational

vehicle, such as a motor home.

CAUTION

.Failure to follow these guidelines can

result in severe transmission damage.

.Whenever flat towing your vehicle, al-

ways tow forward, never backward.

.DO NOT tow any automatic transmission

vehicle with all four wheels on the

ground (flat towing). Doing so WILL

DAMAGE internal transmission parts

due to lack of transmission lubrication.

.DO NOT tow an All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

vehicle with any of the wheels on the

ground. Doing so may cause serious and

expensive damage to the powertrain.

.For emergency towing procedures refer

to “Towing recommended by INFINITI”

(P.6-12).

Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) models:

GUID-B653673D-9456-4356-8018-E67BBEEA92FD

To tow a vehicle equipped with an auto-

matic transmission, an appropriate vehicle

dolly MUST be placed under the towed

dolly manufacturer’s recommendations

when using their product.

GUID-C48839AE-6BDD-41E8-A04F-DC1947F88599

DOT (Department Of Transportation) Qual-

ity Grades: All passenger car tires must

conform to federal safety requirements in

addition to these grades.

Quality grades can be found where applic-

able on the tire sidewall between tread

shoulder and maximum section width. For

example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEAR

GUID-3F30BE55-AD7A-4E42-BFA9-DE72A06969F1

The treadwear grade is a comparative

rating based on the wear rate of the tire

when tested under controlled conditions

on a specified government test course. For

example, a tire graded 150 would wear one

and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the

government course as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends

upon actual conditions of their use, how-

ever, and may depart significantly from the

norm due to variations in driving habits,

service practices and differences in road

characteristics and climate.

TRACTION AA, A, B AND C

GUID-11E202BE-8709-41D2-AB2D-8DF54B60782B

The traction grades, from highest to low-

est, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades

represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet

pavement as measured under controlled

conditions on specified government test

surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire

marked C may have poor traction perfor-

mance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire is

based on straight-ahead braking traction

tests, and does not include acceleration,

cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction

characteristics.

TEMPERATURE A, B AND C

GUID-9AD3BB5A-85B0-49DC-A8AB-EB83E61BF71C

The temperature grades A (the highest), B,

and C, representing the tire’s resistance to

the generation of heat and its ability to

dissipate heat when tested under con-

trolled conditions on a specified indoor

laboratory test wheel. Sustained high

temperature can cause the material of the

tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and

excessive temperature can lead to sudden

tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a

level of performance which all passenger

car tires must meet under the Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.

Grades B and A represent higher levels of

performance on the laboratory test wheel

than the minimum required by law.

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is

established for a tire that is properly

inflated and not overloaded. Excessive

speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading,

either separately or in combination, can

cause heat build-up and possible tire failure.

WARNING

A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive

(AWD) should never be tested using a two

wheel dynamometer (such as the dynam-

ometers used by some states for emissions

testing), or similar equipment. Make sure

you inform test facility personnel that your

vehicle is equipped with AWD before it is

placed on a dynamometer. Using the wrong

test equipment may result in transmission

damage or unexpected vehicle movement

which could result in serious vehicle da-

mage or personal injury.

Due to legal requirements in some states/

areas or provinces, your vehicle may be

required to be in what is called the “ready

condition” for an Inspection/Maintenance

(I/M) test of the emission control system.

The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”

when it is driven through certain driving

patterns. Usually, the “ready condition”

can be obtained by ordinary usage of the

vehicle.

If a powertrain system component is

repaired or the battery is disconnected,

the vehicle may be reset to a “not ready

condition”. Before taking the I/M test,

check the vehicle’s inspection/mainte-

nance test readiness condition. Place the

ignition switch in the ON position without

starting the engine. If the Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL) comes on steady for

20 seconds and then blinks for 10 sec-

onds, the I/M test condition is “not ready”.

If the MIL does not blink after 20 seconds,

the I/M test condition is “ready”.

It is recommended you visit an INFINITI

retailer to set the “ready condition” or to

prepare the vehicle for testing.

GUID-00421227-094B-4488-927F-5F574CFEA15A

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data

Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an

EDR is to record, in certain crash or near

crash-like situations, such as an air bag

deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data

that will assist in understanding how a

vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is

designed to record data related to vehicle

dynamics and safety systems for a short

period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to

record such data as:

.How various systems in your vehicle

were operating;

.Whether or not the driver and passen-

ger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

.How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator and/or

brake pedal; and,

.How fast the vehicle was traveling.

.Sounds are not recorded.

These data can help provide a better

understanding of the circumstances in

which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your

vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation

occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR

under normal driving conditions and no

personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and

crash location) are recorded. However,

other parties, such as law enforcement,

could combine the EDR data with the type

of personally identifying data routinely

acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special

equipment is required and access to the

vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to

the vehicle manufacturer and INFINITI

retailer, other parties, such as law enforce-

ment, that have the special equipment, can

read the information if they have access to

the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will only

be accessed with the consent of the vehicle

owner or lessee or as otherwise required or

permitted by law.
