The engine can be switched off automatically a
maximum of four times (initial stop, then three
subsequent stops) in succession. The
Idle Stop/Start symbol is shown in yellow in the
vehicle information display after the engine has
been started automatically for the fourth time.
When the
Idle Stop/Start symbol is
shown in green in the vehicle information dis-
play, automatic engine switch-off is again pos-
sible.
NOTE
If the hood is opened while the engine is running
and the Idle Stop/Start function is operational,
the engine will switch off automatically.
If the vehicle is brought to a standstill in D or N,
the Idle Stop/Start function switches off the
engine automatically.

The engine is started automatically if:
•You switch off the Idle Stop/Start function
by pressing the ECO button.
•You engage Reverse R or Drive D.
•You unfasten your seat belt or open the
driver’s door.
•The vehicle starts to roll.
•The brake system requires this.
•The temperature in the vehicle interior devi-
ates from the set range.
•The system detects moisture on the wind-
shield when the air-conditioning system is
switched on.
•The battery’s charge status is too low.
The engine is started automatically if you:
•Release the brake pedal in transmission
position D (Drive) or N (Neutral).
•Depress the accelerator pedal.

1Detected parking space on the left.
2Parking symbol.
3Detected parking space on the right.
IPA is activated automatically when driving for-
wards. The system is operational at speeds of
up to approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h). While in
operation, the system independently locates
and measures parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle
IPA will only detect parking spaces:
•Adjacent to the vehicle.
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel
and are at least 5 ft (1.5 m) wide.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel
and at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) longer than your
vehicle.
•That are at right angles to the direction of
travel and at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) wider than
your vehicle.
NOTE
IPA cannot measure the length of a parking
space if it is at right angles to the direction of
travel. You will need to judge whether your ve-
hicle will fit in the parking space
When driving at speeds below 19 MPH (30
km/h) you will see parking symbol
2as a
status indicator in the vehicle information dis-
play. When a parking space has been detected,
an arrow towards the right
3or the left1also
appears. IPA only displays parking spaces on
the front-passenger side as standard. Parking
spaces on the driver’s side are displayed as
soon as the turn signal on the driver’s side is
activated. When parking on the driver’s side,
this must remain activated until you confirm the
use of IPA by pressing the<OK>button on the
steering wheel. The system automatically deter-
mines whether the parking space is parallel or
at right angles to the direction of travel.
A parking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approximately
50 ft (15 m) away from it.
PARKING
NOTE
When the parking sensor system detects ob-
stacles, you are responsible for braking in good
time.
1. Stop the vehicle when the parking symbol
shows the desired parking space in the
combination meter
2. Shift into position R.
The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle information
display.
3. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
4. To park using IPA press the<OK>button on
the steering wheel. The Park Assist [Observe
surroundings] message appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
5. Release the steering wheel.
6. Back up the vehicle, being ready to brake at
all times. When backing up, drive at a speed
below 5 MPH (10 km/h). Otherwise, IPA will
be canceled.

EXITING A PARKING SPACE
In order that IPA can support when exiting the
parking space:
•You need to have parked using IPA.
•The border of the parking space must be
high enough at the front and the rear. A curb
stone is too small, for example.
•The border of the parking space must not be
too wide, as the position of the vehicle must
not exceed an angle of 45 degrees to the
starting position as it is manoeuvred into the
parking space.
•A total front and back maneuvering distance
of at least 1.0 m must be available.
IPA can only assist you with exiting a parking
space if you have parked the vehicle parallel to
the direction of travel using IPA.
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the immediate surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe maneuver-
ing and parking remains with you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or ob-
jects are in the maneuvering range.
•When the parking sensor system is deacti-
vated, IPA is also unavailable.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could
cause you to collide with other road users.
There is a risk of an accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop the
vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA park-
ing procedure.
1. Start the engine.
2. Release the electric parking brake.
3. Switch on the turn signal in the direction
you are pulling away.

Do not exceed a maximum speed of approxi-
mately 5 MPH (10 km/h) when exiting a park-
ing space. Otherwise, IPA will be canceled.
WARNING
While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could
cause you to collide with other road users.
There is a risk of an accident.
9. Depending on the message or as required,
shift the transmission to position D or R.
IPA immediately steers in the other direc-
tion. The [Observe surroundings] message
appears in the display.
NOTE
You will achieve the best results by waiting
for the steering procedure to complete before
pulling away.
If you back up after activation, the steering
wheel is moved to the straight-ahead posi-
tion.

•When a replacement tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not func-
tion and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute. The
light will remain on after 1 minute. It is rec-
ommended you Contact an 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.
•If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to repair
a minor tire puncture, the TPMS sensor
should be checked when repairing or re-
placing the tire. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When the low
tire pressure warning light is lit, and a tire
pressure-related warning (if equipped) appears
in the vehicle information display, one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the TPMS will activate and warn you of it
by the low tire pressure warning light (in the
meter panel). This system will activate only
when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16MPH (25 km/h).
For more details about the TPMS, seeTire
