To stow the cargo cover, remove it from the
hooks and hold until it is retracted. Make sure
that the cargo cover is snapped into the holders
2to keep it from moving around while driving.To remove the cargo cover, stow the cover and
pull the holder to the opposite side
3.
WARNING
●
Never put anything on the cargo cover, no
matter how small. Any object on it could
cause an injury in an accident or sudden
stop.
● Do not leave the cargo cover in the vehicle
with it disengaged from the holder.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. Do not place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal injury. ●
If the cargo cover contacts the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top tether
anchor, remove the cargo cover from the ve-
hicle or secure it on the cargo floor below its
attachment location. If the cargo cover is not
removed, it may damage the top tether strap
during a collision. Your child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision if the
child restraint top tether strap is damaged.
● Do not allow cargo to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top tether
anchor. Properly secure the cargo so it does
not contact the top tether strap. Cargo that is
not properly secured or cargo that contacts
the top tether strap may damage the top
tether strap during a collision. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a colli-
sion if the child restraint top tether strap is
damaged.
● Do not use the cargo cover if the rear seats
are folded down.

Auto reverse function
WARNING
There are some small distances immediately
before the closed position which cannot be de-
tected. Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc., inside the vehicle before clos-
ing the window.
If the control unit detects something caught in
the window as it is closing, the window will be
immediately lowered.
The auto reverse function can be activated when
the window is closed by automatic operation
when the ignition switch is in the ON position or
for 45 seconds after the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driving condi-
tions, the auto reverse function may be activated
if an impact or load similar to something being
caught in the window occurs.
If the windows do not close
automatically
If the power window automatic function (closing
only) does not operate properly, perform the
following procedure to initialize the power win-
dow system.
1. Push the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion.
2. Close the door.
3. Open the window completely by operating the power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then hold the
switch more than 3 seconds after the
window is closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Oper- ate the window by the automatic function
to confirm the initialization is complete.
6. Perform steps 2 through 5 above for other windows.
If the power window automatic function does
not operate properly after performing the pro-
cedure above, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
WARNING
●In an accident you could be thrown from the
vehicle through an open moonroof. Always
use seat belts and child restraints.
● Do not allow anyone to stand up or extend
any portion of their body out of the moonroof
opening while the vehicle is in motion or
while the moonroof is closing.
CAUTION
● Remove water drops, snow, ice or sand from
the moonroof before opening.
● Do not place any heavy object on the moon-
roof or surrounding area.
AUTOMATIC MOONROOF
The moonroof only operates when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
The automatic moonroof is operational for
about 45 seconds, even if the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position. If the driver’s door
or the passenger’s door is opened during this
period of about 45 seconds, power to the
moonroof is canceled.

WARNING
●Always have the doors locked while driving.
Along with the use of seat belts, this pro-
vides greater safety in the event of an acci-
dent by helping to prevent persons from be-
ing thrown from the vehicle. This also helps
keep children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help keep
out intruders.
● Before opening any door, always look for and
avoid oncoming traffic.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors simultaneously using the
mechanical key.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder to the
front of the vehicle
1will lock all doors.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder once
to the rear of the vehicle
2will unlock the
driver’s door. After returning the key to the
neutral position
3, turning it to the rear
again within 60 seconds will unlock all
doors.
● You can switch the lock system to the mode
that allows you to open all the doors when
the key is turned once. (See “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, cli-
mate, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY
The driver’s door key operation also allows you
to open and close the window that is equipped
with the automatic open/close function. (See
“POWER WINDOWS” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.)
To open the window, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for
longer than
1 second . The door is unlocked and the window
keeps opening while turning the key.
This function can also be performed by pushing
and holding the door UNLOCK button of the
Intelligent Key. (See “REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM” later in this section.)
To close the window, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the front of the vehicle for longer
than 1 second . The door is locked and the
window keeps closing while turning the key.

DOORS
3-4Pre-driving checks and adjustments

WARNING
●Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
● Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
● Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
● If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open, and have the vehicle inspected
immediately. ●
Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as a garage.
● Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for any extended length of time.
● Keep the lift gate closed while driving, oth-
erwise exhaust gases could be drawn into
the passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the lift gate open, follow these
precautions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation to off and
the fan control to high to circulate the air.
● If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the seal
on the lift gate or the body, follow the manu-
facturer’s recommendation to prevent car-
bon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
● The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
– The vehicle is raised for service.
– You suspect that exhaust fumes are en- tering into the passenger compartment.
– You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system. – You have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at
high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
●The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. Keep people, animals or flammable
materials away from the exhaust system
components.
● Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste
paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a
fire.
CAUTION
● Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits from
leaded gasoline seriously reduce the three-
way catalyst’s ability to help reduce exhaust
pollutants.
