stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-
armed. After about 30 seconds the
vehicle security system automatically
shifts into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every
approximately 3 seconds. If, during this
30-second pre-arm time period, the
door is unlocked, or the ignition switch
is pushed to ACC or ON, the system will
not arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers

proper axis automatically, depending on
the number of occupants in the vehicle, the
load the vehicle is carrying and the road
conditions.
If the AFS OFF indicator light blinks after
the ignition switch has been pushed to the

retailer.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
climate controlled seats if you or the
occupants can not monitor seat tempera-
tures or have an inability to feel pain in
those body parts in contact with the seat.
Use of the climate controlled seats by such
people could result in serious injury.
CAUTION
. The battery could run down if the climate
controlled seat is operated while the
engine is not running.
. Do not use the climate controlled seat
for extended periods or when no one is
using the seat. .
Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the
seat may become overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or heavy on
the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to the
climate controlled seat.
. Any liquid spilled on the seat should be
removed immediately with a dry cloth.
. The climate controlled seat has an air
filter. Do not operate climate controlled
seat without an air filter. This may result
in damage to the system.
. When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar materi-
als.
. If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not operate,
turn the switch off and have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer.

could allow dangerous exhaust gases to
be drawn into the vehicle. See “Exhaust
gas (carbon monoxide)” (P.5-3).
. Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from play-
ing and becoming locked in the trunk

If the auto closure operation is performed
repeatedly with the trunk overloaded, the
auto closure may not operate properly.
Reduce the amount of items in trunk. If the

they could be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the trunk lid securely latched,
when not in use, and prevent children’s
access to Intelligent Keys.

FUEL-FILLER CAPY51D-V-E01-3BC658AF-A194-49C3-ACA0-3AB52617E0B0
WARNING
. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
. Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause the
malfunction indicator light to come on.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:—Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
—Do not use electronic devices whenfilling.
—Keep the pump nozzle in contactwith the container while you are
filling it.
—Use only approved portable fuelcontainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint

The starter is designed not to operate
unless the shift lever is in either of the
above positions.
3. Push the ignition switch to the ON position. Depress the brake pedal and
push the ignition switch to start the
engine.
To start the engine immediately, push
and release the ignition switch while
depressing the brake pedal with the
ignition switch in any position.
.If the engine is very hard to start inextremely cold weather or when
restarting, depress the accelerator
pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to
the floor) and while holding, crank
the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.
.If the engine is very hard to startbecause it is flooded, depress the
accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it. Push the ignition
switch to the ON position to start
cranking the engine. After 5 or 6
seconds, stop cranking by pushing
the ignition switch to OFF. After cranking the engine, release the
accelerator pedal. Crank the engine
with your foot off the accelerator
pedal
by depressing the brake pedal
and pushing the push-button igni-
tion switch to start the engine. If the
engine starts, but fails to run, repeat
the above procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the engine does not
start, push the ignition switch to OFF and
wait 10 seconds before cranking again,
otherwise the starter could be damaged.
4. Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at
moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather. In cold
weather, keep the engine running for a
minimum of 2 - 3 minutes before
shutting it off. Starting and stopping
the engine over a short period of time
may make the vehicle more difficult to
start.

.Remember not to drive at high speeds
for extended periods of time in lower

. Moving the shift lever rapidly to the
same side twice will shift the ranges in
succession.
. In the manual shift mode, the transmis-
sion may not shift to the selected gear
or may automatically shift to the other

Precautions on LDW systemY51D-V-E01-AEDC76F9-7CD2-4F91-97D1-6C38853B97B9
WARNING
.This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer
the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It
is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
. The system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h)
or if it cannot detect lane markers.
. If the LDW system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically, and the LDW light
(orange) will illuminate.
. If the LDW light (orange) illuminates,
pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle. Turn the engine off and
restart the engine. If the LDW light
(orange) continues to illuminate, have
the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer. .
Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
. Do not use the LDW system under the
following conditions as it may not
function properly:—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 toroad repairs.
—When driving in a makeshift ortemporary lane.
—When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
—When driving without normal tireconditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-standard
wheels).
—When the vehicle is equipped withnon-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
The system may not function 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-stan-
dard lane markers; or lane markers
covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
. On roads where the discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
. On roads where there are sharp curves.
. On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shadows,
snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines
remaining after road repairs. (The LDW
system could detect these items as
lane markers.)
. On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
. When the vehicle’s traveling direction
does not align with the lane marker.
. When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
. When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres
to the windshield in front of the lane
camera unit.
