WARNING

. Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. They could
accidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, 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.

. 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.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

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 lift gate closed while driving,

otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the lift gate open, follow
these precautions:

1) Open all the windows.

2) 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 lift gate 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

damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST

The three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the three-way
catalyst are burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.

WARNING

. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system

are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the
exhaust system components.

. Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and

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 by an INFINITI retai-
ler.

. 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)

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
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional information

. 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 dot matrix liquid crystal
display when the low tire pressure
warning 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
message 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.
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 illuminates in low
ambient temperature, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.

. You can also check the pressure of all

tires (except the spare tire) on the
display screen. The order of the tire
pressure figures displayed on the
screen does not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position. See
“TIRE PRESSURE information” in the “4.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems

” section.

For additional information, see

“Low tire

pressure warning light

” in the “2. Instru-

ments and controls

” section and “Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

” in

the

“6. In case of emergency” section.

WARNING

. If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates or LOW PRESSURE informa-
tion is displayed on the monitor screen
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 fail-
ure. 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” in the “6. In

case of emergency

” section for changing

a flat tire.)

. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel

is replaced, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.

. 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.

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator

When adding air to an under-inflated tire,
the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
provides visual and audible signals out-
side the vehicle to help you inflate the tires
to the recommended COLD tire pressure.

Vehicle set-up:

1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level

place.

2. Apply the parking brake and place the

selector lever in the P (Park) position.

3. Place the ignition switch in the ON

position. Do not start the engine.

Operation:

1. Add air to the tire.

2. After a few seconds, the hazard indica-

tors will start flashing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. When the designated pressure is

reached, the horn beeps once and the
hazard indicators stop flashing.

4. Perform the above steps for each tire.
. If the tire is over-inflated more than

approximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash 3
times. To correct the pressure, push the
core of the valve stem on the tire briefly
to release pressure. When the pressure
reaches the designated pressure, the
horn beeps once.

. If the hazard indicator does not flash

within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates
that the Tire Inflation Indicator is not
operating.

. The TPMS will not activate the Tire

Inflation Indicator under the following
conditions:
— If there is interference from an

external device or transmitter

— The air pressure from the inflation

device such as those using a power
socket is not sufficient to inflate the
tire

— If an electrical equipment is being

used in or near the vehicle

— There is a malfunction in the TPMS

system

— There is a malfunction in the horn or

hazard indicators

. If the Tire Inflation Indicator does not

operate due to TPMS interference,
move the vehicle about 3 ft (1m)
backward or forward and try again.

If the Tire Inflation Indicator is not working,
use a tire pressure gauge.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-
OVER

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
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” in the “1.

Safety

— seats, seat belts and supple-

mental restraint system

” section of this

instruction, 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

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

Starting and driving

5-7

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5-8

Starting and driving

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

“Driving safety precau-

tions

” later in this section.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY

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 vehi-
cle to a stop in a safe place off the
road.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS

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” in the “8.

Maintenance and do-it-yourself

” section of

this instruction.

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” in the “6. In case
of emergency

” section of this Owner’s

Instruction.

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING

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).

Don

’t drive if your ability to operate your

vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or
some other physical condition.

DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your INFINITI is designed for both normal
and off-road use. However, avoid driving in
deep water or mud as your INFINITI is
mainly designed for leisure use, unlike a
conventional off-road vehicle.

Remember that Two-Wheel Drive (2WD)
models are less capable than Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) models for rough road driving
and extrication when stuck in deep snow,
mud, or the like.

Please observe the following precautions:

WARNING

. Drive carefully when off the road and

avoid dangerous areas. Every person
who drives or rides in this vehicle should
be seated with their seat belt fastened.
This will keep you and your passengers
in position when driving over rough
terrain.

. Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead

drive either straight up or straight down

Starting and driving

5-9

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5-10

Starting and driving

the slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip over
sideways much more easily than they
can forward or backward.

. Many hills are too steep for any vehicle.

If you drive up them, you may stall. If
you drive down them, you may not be
able to control your speed. If you drive
across them, you may roll over.

. Do not shift ranges while driving on

downhill grades as this could cause loss
of control of the vehicle.

. Stay alert when driving to the top of a

hill. At the top there could be a drop-off
or other hazard that could cause an
accident.

. If your engine stalls or you cannot make

it to the top of a steep hill, never attempt
to turn around. Your vehicle could tip or
roll over. Always back straight down in R
(Reverse) range. Never back down in N
(Neutral), using only the brake, as this
could cause loss of control.

. Heavy braking going down a hill could

cause your brakes to overheat and fade,
resulting in loss of control and an
accident. Apply brakes lightly and use
a low range to control your speed.

. Unsecured cargo can be thrown around

when driving over rough terrain. Prop-
erly secure all cargo so it will not be
thrown forward and cause injury to you
or your passengers.

. To avoid raising the center of gravity

excessively, do not exceed the rated
capacity of the roof rack (if so equipped)
and evenly distribute the load. Secure
heavy loads in the cargo area as far
forward and as low as possible. Do not
equip the vehicle with tires larger than
specified in this instruction. This could
cause your vehicle to roll over.

. Do not grip the inside or spokes of the

steering wheel when driving off-road.
The steering wheel could move suddenly
and injure your hands. Instead drive with
your fingers and thumbs on the outside
of the rim.

. Before operating the vehicle, ensure that

the driver and all passengers have their
seat belts fastened.

. Always drive with the floor mats in place

as the floor may became hot.

. Lower your speed when encountering

strong crosswinds. With a higher center
of gravity, your INFINITI is more affected

by strong side winds. Slower speeds
ensure better vehicle control.

. Do not drive beyond the performance

capability of the tires, even with 4WD
engaged.

. For 4WD 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 a 4WD 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 4WD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury (4WD
models).

. When a wheel is off the ground due to an

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively.

. Accelerating quickly, sharp steering

maneuvers or sudden braking may cause
loss of control.

. If at all possible, avoid sharp turning

maneuvers, particularly at high speeds.
Your vehicle has a higher center of
gravity than a conventional passenger
car. The vehicle is not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as con-
ventional passenger cars. Failure to
operate this vehicle correctly could
result in loss of control and/or a rollover
accident.

. 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.

. Be sure to check the brakes immediately

after driving in mud or water. See

“Brake

system

” later in this section for wet

brakes.

. Avoid parking your vehicle on steep

hills. If you get out of the vehicle and
it rolls forward, backward or sideways,

you could be injured.

. Whenever you drive off-road through

sand, mud or water as deep as the
wheel hub, more frequent maintenance
may be required. See the maintenance
information in the

“INFINITI Service and

Maintenance Guide

”.

. Spinning the rear wheels on slippery

surfaces may cause the 4WD warning
light to flash. The 4WD system may also
automatically switch from the 4WD
mode to the 2WD mode. This could
reduce traction. Be especially careful
when towing a trailer (4WD models).

WARNING

Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The engine will stop when the
ignition switch is pushed 3 consecutive
times or the ignition switch is pushed and
held for more than 2 seconds.) If the engine
stops while the vehicle is being driven, this
could lead to a crash and serious injury.

Before operating the push-button ignition
switch, be sure to move the selector lever
to the P (Park) position.
