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 cor-
rectly may result in loss of control or an acci-
dent. Be sure to read “On-pavement and off-
road driving precautions”, “Avoiding collision
and rollover” and “Driving safety precau-
tions” in the “5. Starting and driving” section
of this manual.
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Modifica-
tion could affect its performance, safety or
durability, and may even violate governmen-
tal regulations. In addition, damage or perfor-
mance problems resulting from modification
will not be covered under the INFINITI warran-
ties.

ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass readings.
Follow these instructions to set the variance for
your particular location if this happens:
1. Push theswitch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance number on the zone map.
NOTE:
Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.
3. Push the
switch repeatedly until
the new zone number appears in the
display, then release the switch. After you
release the switch, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
● If the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjust-
ment, have the compass checked at an
INFINITI retailer.
● The compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving
up or down a steep hill.

If any light does not come on, it may indicate a
burned-out bulb or an open circuit in the elec-
trical system. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
Some indicators and warnings are also dis-
played on the dot matrix crystal display be-
tween the speedometer and tachometer. (See
“DOT MATRIX LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY” later in
this section.)
WARNING LIGHTS
All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
warning light (AWD models)
Thewarning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns off
soon after the engine is started.
If the AWD system malfunctions, or the diam-
eter of the front and the rear wheels are differ-
ent, the warning light will either remain illumi-
nated or blink. (See “ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
CAUTION
● If the warning light comes on while driving
there may be a malfunction in the AWD sys-
tem. Reduce the vehicle speed and have your
vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible. ●
If the AWD warning light blinks on when you
are driving:
– blinks rapidly (about twice a second): Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the
engine. The driving mode will change to
2WD to prevent the AWD system from
malfunctioning. If the warning light turns
off, you can drive again.
– blinks slowly (about once every 2 sec- onds):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the
engine. Check that all tire sizes are the
same, tire pressure is correct and tires are
not worn.
● If the warning light is still on after the above
operations, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
orAnti-lock Braking
System (ABS)
warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminates and then turns off. This indi-
cates the ABS is operational. If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “BRAKE SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.)
Automatic transmission
check warning light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds. If
the light comes on at any other time, it may
indicate the transmission is not functioning
properly. Have your INFINITI retailer check and
repair the transmission.
orBrake warning

The Continuous Damping Control optimizes the
damping force and helps minimize the move-
ment of the vehicle body. It helps stable driving
when the vehicle moves up and down on large
rolling roads or when the vehicle body leans
during cornering with a high centrifugal force.
The damping force will automatically adjust
according to the road surface and driving con-
ditions.
The damping force of the shock absorbers can
be adjusted to the level you desire. Set the
switch to the position you desire while the
ignition switch is ON.

(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the rearview monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard. ●
It may take some time until the rearview
monitor is displayed after the selector lever
has been shifted to “R” from another posi-
tion or to another position from “R”. Objects
may be distorted momentarily until the rear-
view monitor screen is displayed completely.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
● When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
● The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
● The colors of objects on the rearview monitor
may differ somewhat from those of the ac-
tual object.
● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the rearview monitor may not clearly display
objects. Clean the camera.
