Your INFINITI represents a new way of thinking about vehicle design. It integrates advanced engineering and superior craftsmanship with a simple,
refined aesthetic sensitivity associated with traditional Japanese 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 performance 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 prior to delivery. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. 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. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for details
concerning the particular accessories with which your vehicle is equipped.
READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE SAFELY
Before driving your vehicle, read this Owner’s
Manual carefully. This will ensure familiarity
with controls and maintenance requirements,
assisting you in the safe operation of your
vehicle.

FOREWORD

Page 3 of 531

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differ-
ently from an ordinary passenger car because it
has a higher center of gravity for off-road use. As
with other vehicles with features of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correctly may re-
sult in loss of control or an accident.
For additional information, refer to “On-
pavement and off-road driving precautions”,
“Avoiding collision and rollover” and “Driving
safety precautions” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Modifica-
tion could affect its performance, safety or dura-
bility and may even violate governmental regu-
lations. In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from modifications may not
be covered under INFINITI warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) plug-in device that uses the port during
normal driving, for example remote insurance
company monitoring, remote vehicle diagnos-
tics, telematics or engine reprogramming, may
cause interference or damage to vehicle sys-tems. We do not recommend or endorse the
use of any aftermarket OBD plug-in devices,
unless specifically approved by INFINITI. The
vehicle warranty may not cover damage
caused by any aftermarket plug-in device.
