4. Hold down both buttons until the indica-tor light on HomeLink flashes, changing
from a “slow blink” to a “rapid blink”.
This could take up to 90 seconds. When
the indicator light blinks rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapidly
flashing light indicates successful pro-
gramming. To activate the garage door or
other programmed device, push and hold
the programmed HomeLink button - re-
leasing when the device begins to acti-
vate.
5. If the indicator light on HomeLink blinks
rapidly for two seconds and then turns
solid, HomeLink has picked up a “rolling
code” garage door opener signal. You will
need to proceed with the next steps to
train HomeLink, completing the pro-
gramming may require a ladder and an-
other person for convenience.
6. Push and release the program button located on the garage door opener’s mo-
tor to activate the “training mode”. This
button is usually located near the an-
tenna wire that hangs down from the
motor. If the wire originates from under a
light lens, you will need to remove the
lens to access the training button.NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released the
training button on the garage door opener’s
motor and the “training light” is lit, you have
30 seconds in which to perform step 7. For
convenience, use the help of a second person
to assist when performing this step.
7. Quickly (within 30 seconds of pushingand releasing the garage door opener
training button) and firmly push and re-
lease the HomeLink button you’ve just
programmed. Push and release the
HomeLink button up to three times to
complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink button should now be
programmed. To program the remaining
HomeLink buttons for additional door or
gate openers, follow steps 2 through 8
only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to “clear”
all previously programmed HomeLink buttons.
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink buttons,
please refer to the HomeLink web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand-
held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2
seconds. To program your hand-held transmit-
ter to HomeLink, continue to push and hold
the HomeLink button (note steps 2 through 4
under “Programming HomeLink”) while you
push and re-push (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator
light flashes rapidly (indicating successful pro-
gramming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc., it is
advised to unplug the device during the “cy-
cling” process to prevent possible damage to
the garage door opener components.
OPERATING THE HOMELINK
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
HomeLink Universal Transceiver (once pro-
grammed) may now be used to activate the
garage door, etc. To operate, simply push the
appropriate programmed HomeLink Universal
Transceiver button. The red indicator light will

SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
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
FUEL/LUBRICANTS” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section for climate con-
trol system refrigerant and lubricant recommen-
dations.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly climate control sys-
tem.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under high
pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air con-
ditioner service should be done only by an ex-
perienced technician with the proper
equipment.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Radio
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 transmitter, build-
ings, 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 :
Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
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 mal-
function in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, ter-
rain, 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.

●Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-
tems 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 retailer.
● 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 SYSTEM
(TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
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 pres-
sure 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 pres-
sure. 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 combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects
a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not beable to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions 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
properly. 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.

●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 illumi-
nate. If the warning light illuminates in low
ambient temperature, check the tire pres-
sure 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 dis-
played 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 pres-
sure warning light” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section and “TIRE PRESSURE MONI-
TORING SYSTEM (TPMS)” in the “6. In case of
emergency” section.WARNING
● If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates or LOW PRESSURE information is dis-
played 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 pres-
sure 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 re-
main on after 1 minute. Contact your INFINITI
retailer as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment 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.

LDW system operation
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h) and
above. When the vehicle approaches either the
left or the right side of the traveling lane, a
warning chime will sound and the lane depar-
ture warning light (orange) on the instrument
panel will blink to alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the vehicle
returns inside of the lane markers.
When you operate the lane change signal and
change traveling lanes in the direction of the
signal, the LDW system temporarily suspends
operation. It will become operable again ap-
proximately 2 seconds after the lane change
signal is turned off.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h), the LDW
system will not provide a warning.
The LDW system has an automatic setting mode
and a manual setting mode. The setting mode
can be changed. In the automatic setting mode,
the LDW system is automatically turned on
when the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position. When the LDW system is on, the LDW
ON indicator
1on the LDW switch illuminates.
To cancel the LDW system, push the LDW switch. The LDW ON indicator will turn off. To
turn on the system, push the LDW switch again.
In the manual setting mode, you need to push
the LDW switch to turn on the system after the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON position.
The setting mode can be changed using the
LDW switch. To change the setting mode, push
and hold the LDW switch for more than 4
seconds when the LDW ON indicator is off.
When the mode is changed, a chime sounds
and the lane departure warning light (orange)
flashes.
Temporary disabled status at high
temperature
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 104°F (40°C) and then started, the LDW
system may be deactivated automatically. The
LDW ON indicator on the switch will flash.
When the interior temperature is reduced, the
LDW system will resume operating automati-
cally and the LDW ON indicator will stop flash-
ing.

LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM
Precautions on LDP system
WARNING
●The LDP system will not steer the vehicle or
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of vehicle at all times.
● The LDP system is primarily intended for use
on well-developed freeways or highways. It
may not detect the lane markers in certain
roads, weather or driving conditions.
● Using the LDP system under some condi-
tions of road, lane marker or weather, or
when you change lanes without using the
lane change signal could lead to an unex-
pected system operation. In such condi-
tions, you need to correct the vehicle’s direc-
tion with your steering operation to avoid
accidents.
● When the LDP system is operating, avoid
excessive or sudden steering maneuvers.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the
vehicle. ●
The LDP system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h) or if
it cannot detect lane markers.
● The LDP system may not function properly
under the following conditions, and do not
use the LDP system:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire condi- tions (for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non- original brake parts or suspension parts. ●
If the LDP system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically. The lane departure warning
light (orange) on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
● If the lane departure warning light (orange)
illuminates, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle. Turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the warning light
(orange) continues to illuminate, have the
LDP system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
The functions of the LDP system (warning and
brake control assist) may or may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
● On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where discontinued lane markers
are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.
● On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
