DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than pas-
senger cars to make them capable of per-
forming in a variety of on-pavement and off-
road applications. This gives them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary vehicles. An
advantage of higher ground clearance is a
better view of the road, allowing you to an-
ticipate problems. However, they are not de-
signed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more
than low-slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road condi-tions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns at
high speeds. As with other vehicles of this
type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or vehicle roll-
over. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt.
For additional information, refer to "Driving
safety precautions" later in this section.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner may result in loss of con-
trol or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive
speed, high speed cornering, or sudden steer-
ing maneuvers, because these driving prac-
tices could cause you to lose control of your
vehicle.
As with any vehicle, loss of control could re-
sult in a collision with other vehicles or ob-
jects or cause the vehicle to roll over, par-
ticularly if the loss of control causes the
vehicle to slide sideways.Be attentive at all
times, and avoid driving when tired. Never

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 ac-
celerator pedal to gradually slow the ve-
hicle.
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe loca-
tion off the road and away from traffic if
possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradually
stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
contact a roadside emergency service to
change the tire. For additional informa-
tion, refer to "Flat tire".
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS
AND DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream re-
duces coordination, delays reaction time
and impairs judgement. Driving after
drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of
being involved in an accident injuring your-
self and others. Additionally, if you are in-
jured in an accident, alcohol can increase
the severity of the injury.INFINITI is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, 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 dif-
ferently 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 2–wheel drive vehicles are
less capable than all-wheel drive (AWD)
models for rough road driving and extrication
when stuck in deep snow or mud, or the like.Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
•Spinning the front wheels on slippery
surfaces may cause the AWD warning
message to display and the AWD system
to automatically switch from the AWD
to 2WD mode. This could reduce the
traction. Be especially careful when
towing a trailer. (AWD models)
•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 ter-
rain.
•Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead
drive either straight up or straight down
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.

Steering wheel gearshift paddles
1Left steering wheel gearshift paddle
(shifts down)
2Right steering wheel gearshift paddle
(shifts up)
In drive program M, you can change gear
yourself using the steering wheel gearshift
paddles.
If you pull the left or right steering wheel
gearshift paddle when in automatic drive
program E or S, the automatic transmission
shifts into drive program M for a limited time.
Depending on which gearshift paddle is
pulled, the automatic transmission immedi-
ately shifts into the next gear down or up.
Automatic drive programs
Drive program E is characterized by the fol-
lowing:
•Comfort-oriented engine settings.
•Optimal fuel consumption resulting from
the automatic transmission shifting up
sooner.
•The vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward and reverse gears unless the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed fully.
•Increased sensitivity. This improves handling
on slippery road surfaces, for example.
•The automatic transmission shifting up
sooner. This results in the vehicle being
driven at lower engine speeds and the
wheels being less likely to spin.
Drive program S is characterized by the fol-
lowing:
•Sporty engine settings.
•The automatic transmission shifting up later.
•As a result of the later automatic transmis-
sion shift points, the fuel consumption
possibly being higher.
Manual drive program
In manual drive program M, you can change
gear yourself by using the steering wheel
gearshift paddles. For this, the transmission
must be in position D (Drive). The gear cur-
rently selected and engaged is shown in the
vehicle information display
Manual drive program M differs from drive
programs E and S with regard to spontaneity,
responsiveness and smoothness of gear
changes.
Using manual gears:
3 To use the engine's braking effect
2 To use the braking effect of the engine on
downhill gradients and for driving on steep
mountain roads, in mountainous terrain or
in arduous conditions.
1 To use the braking effect of the engine on
extremely steep downhill gradients and on
long downhill stretches.

RADAR MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensor unitsAfor the BSW
system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tempo-
rary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors.Do not strike or damage the area around the

speed for you. It brakes automatically in order
to avoid exceeding the set speed. You must
select a lower gear in good time on long and
steep downhill gradients, especially if the ve-
hicle is laden or towing a trailer.WARNING
For vehicles with automatic transmission,
you need to have selected manual drive
program M (see "Manual drive program"
earlier in this section). By doing so, you will
make use of the braking effect of the en-
gine. This relieves the load on the brake
system and prevents the brakes from over-
heating and wearing too quickly.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic
conditions are appropriate for maintaining a
steady speed for a prolonged period. You can
set the cruise control at any road speed
above 20 MPH (30 km/h).
The speed indicated in the speedometer may
differ slightly from the set speed.

CRUISE CONTROL
5-46Starting and driving
Page 286 of 436
If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.
Changing lanes to pass another
vehicle:
When you changes lane to pass another ve-
hicle, ICC supports the action if:
•The vehicle speed is more than 45 MPH
(70 km/h)
•The ICC is maintaining the distance to a
vehicle in front
•The respective turn signal is activated
If these conditions are met, the vehicle will be
accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted
if changing lanes takes too long or if the
distance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front becomes too small.
How to change the set vehicle
speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of these
methods:
•Tap the brake pedal when the vehicle is
moving.
•Quickly push the cruise control lever in the
direction of arrow
5.
The message [ICC OFF] appears in the ve-
hicle information display for 5 seconds.
To reset at a higher cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, quickly
pull the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever up1beyond
the pressure point. The set vehicle speed
will increase by approximately 10 MPH
(10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever up (1) at the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
increase by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To reset at a lower cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, quickly pull
the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever down4be-
yond the pressure point. The set vehicle
speed will decrease by approximately
10 MPH (10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever down4to the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, quickly pull the
cruise control lever towards you
4. The ve-
hicle will resume the last set cruising speed
when the vehicle speed is over 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
NOTE
If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the [ICC Deactivated Automatically]
message appears in the vehicle information
NSD582A

Page 287 of 436
display. The set distance to a slower-moving
vehicle in front will then not be maintained.
You will be driving at the speed you deter-
mine by the position of the accelerator pedal.
You can also activate ICC when stationary.
The lowest speed that can be set is 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
Stopping
WARNING
•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others, or pets unattended in
your vehicle.
•The ICC system should only be used to
keep the vehicle stationary when the
driver is actively using the system.
When parking the vehicle, make sure to
turn OFF the ICC system, use the brake,
press the PARK (P) button, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK position
prior to exiting the vehicle. Failure to do
so could lead to serious injury or death.
The ICC system will not hold the vehiclein place after coming to a stop when any
of the following conditions occur:
–There is a malfunction in the system
or in the voltage supply.
–The ICC system has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e. g. by a
vehicle occupant.
–The accelerator pedal has been de-
pressed, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
For further information on deactivating the
ICC system, see "ICC switch (cruise control
lever)" earlier in this section
If the ICC system detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it
is stationary (within the braking limitations of
the system).
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress
the brake.
NOTE
Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever.
How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
To increase the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the rear2.To
decrease the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the front1.
You can see this distance in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead will change
according to the vehicle speed. The higher the
vehicle speed, the longer the distance.

Parking tips:
•The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of
the location. It may be the case that IPA
guides you too far into a parking space, or
not far enough into it. In some cases, it
may also lead you across or onto the curb.
If necessary you should cancel the parking
procedure with IPA.
•During the parking maneuver, the system
will indicate when you should shift to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive). However, you can
freely choose to shift gear whenever you
feel you need to. Should the transmission
change take place too early, the parking
procedure will be canceled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
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 dis-
tance 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 sur-
roundings. The responsibility for safe
maneuvering and parking remains with
you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or
objects are in the maneuvering range.
•When the sonar function is deactivated,
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
parking procedure.
1. Start the engine.
2. Release the electric parking brake.
3. Switch on the turn signal in the direction
you are pulling away.
4.Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position D or R
The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
5. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
6. To exit a parking space using IPA: press
the<OK>button on the steering wheel
The Park Assist [Observe surroundings]
message appears in the display.
7. Release the steering wheel.
8. Pull away, being ready to brake at all
times Do not exceed a maximum speed of
approximately 5 MPH (10 km/h) when
exiting a parking space. Otherwise, IPA
will be canceled.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driv-
ing Tips to help you achieve the most fuel
economy from your vehicle.
1.Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake Pedal
Application
•Avoid rapid starts and stops.
•Use smooth, gentle accelerator and
brake application whenever possible.
•Maintain constant speed while com-
muting and coast whenever possible.
2.Maintain Constant Speed
•Look ahead to try and anticipate and
minimize stops.
•Synchronizing your speed with traffic
lights allows you to reduce your num-
ber of stops.
•Maintaining a steady speed can mini-
mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency.
3.Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher
Vehicle Speeds
•Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
•Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.
•Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.
4.
Drive at Economical Speeds and Distances
•Observing the speed limit and not ex-
ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.
•Maintaining a safe following distance
behind other vehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
•Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
•Select a gear range suitable to road
conditions.
5.Use Cruise Control
•Using cruise control during highway
driving helps maintain a steady speed.
•Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.
Utilize a map or navigation system to deter-
mine the best route to save time.6.Avoid Idling
•Shutting off your engine when safe for
stops exceeding 30 seconds saves fuel
and reduces emissions.
7.Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
•Automated passes permit drivers to
use special lanes to maintain cruising
speed through the toll and avoid stop-
ping and starting.
8.Winter Warm Up
•Limit idling time to minimize impact to
fuel economy.
•Vehicles typically need no more than
30 seconds of idling at start-up to ef-
fectively circulate the engine oil before
driving.
•Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat-
ing temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling.
9.Keeping your Vehicle Cool
•Park your vehicle in a covered parking
area or in the shade whenever possible.
•When entering a hot vehicle, opening
the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system.
