TOWING LOAD/SPECIFICATION
WARNING
The towing capacities provided in this
manual are for general reference only. The
safe towing capacity of your vehicle is af-
fected by dealer and factory installed op-
tions and passenger and cargo loads. You
must weigh the vehicle and trailer as de-
scribed in this manual to determine the ac-
tual vehicle towing capacity. Do not exceed
the published maximum towing capacity or
the GCWR or the GVWR shown on the
FMVSS/CMVSS label. Doing so can result
in an accident causing serious injury or
property damage.
TOWING LOAD/SPECIFICATION CHART

bined Weight Rating10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg)
*1: The towing capacity values are calculated
assuming a base vehicle with driver and any op-
tions required to achieve the rating. Additional

An INFINITI represents a new way of think-
ing about vehicle design. It integrates ad-
vanced engineering and superior craftsman-
ship with a simple, refined aesthetic
sensitivity associated with traditional Japa-
nese 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 an INFINITI to the
fullest, we encourage you to read this Own-
er’s Manual immediately. It explains all of the
features, controls and performance charac-
teristics of an INFINITI; it also provides im-
portant instructions and safety information.
A separate Warranty Information Booklet is
included in your Owner’s literature portfo-
lio. The “Maintenance and schedules” sec-
tion of this manual explains details about
maintaining and servicing your vehicle. Al-
ways carry it with you when you take your
vehicle to an INFINITI retailer. The War-
ranty Information Booklet contents provide
complete information about all warranties
covering this vehicle, the requirements tokeep 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 installed prior to delivery. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for details concerning the particular ac-
cessories with which your vehicle is equipped.
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 con-
cerning the particular accessories with which
your vehicle is equipped.
Before driving your vehicle, please read this
Owner’s Manual carefully. This will ensure
familiarity with controls and maintenance re-
quirements, assisting you in the safe opera-
tion of your vehicle.

models, anAWDmark is placed at the begin-
ning of the applicable sections/items.

road use, failure to operate all-wheel drive
models correctly may result in loss of control
or an accident. For additional information,
refer to “Driving safety precautions” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver dif-
ferently from an ordinary passenger car

erate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control or an accident.

pavement and off-road driving

over” and “Driving safety precautions” in

fication could affect its performance,

even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance prob-
lems resulting from modifications may not
be covered under INFINITI warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diag-
nostic (OBD) plug-in device that uses the
port during normal driving, for example re-
mote insurance company monitoring, re-
mote vehicle diagnostics, telematics or en-
gine reprogramming, may cause
interference or damage to vehicle systems.
We do not recommend or endorse the use of
any aftermarket OBD plug-in devices, un-
less specifically approved by INFINITI. The
vehicle warranty may not cover damage
caused by any aftermarket plug-in device. This manual includes information for all fea-
tures and equipment available on this model.
Features and equipment in your vehicle may

tion about features or equipment that are not
included or installed on your vehicle.

tions in this manual are those in effect at the
time of printing. INFINITI reserves the right
to change specifications, performance, de-
sign or component suppliers without notice
