●Work on and around the front air bag system
should be done by an INFINITI retailer. Instal-
lation of electrical equipment should also be
done by an INFINITI retailer. The Supplemen-
tal Restraint System (SRS) wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or discon-
nected. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should not
be used on the air bag system.
● A cracked windshield should be replaced im-
mediately by a qualified repair facility. A
cracked windshield could affect the function
of the supplemental air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the front air bag system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND
ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-
IMPACT AND ROLLOVER
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain and
rollover air bags are located in the side roof
rails. These systems are designed to meet
voluntary guidelines to help reduce the risk of
injury to out-of-position occupants. However, all
of the information, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed. The
side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags
are designed to inflate in higher severity side
collisions, although they may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to
those of a higher severity side impact. They are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in
certain side collisions on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. Curtain and rollover air
bags are also designed to inflate in certain
types of rollover collisions or near rollovers.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain
and rollover air bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain and rollover
air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by release of smoke. This
smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a
fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those with a
history of a breathing condition should get
fresh air promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
and pelvic area of the front occupants. Curtain
and rollover air bags help to cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in the front and
rear outboard seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. However,
side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags
may cause abrasions or other injuries. Side air

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 99 lb (45 kg) on the
roof rails. Observe the maximum load limit
shown on the crossbars or roof carriers when
you attach them on the roof rails. Contact an
INFINITI retailer for crossbar or other equipment
information.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). The
GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S.
or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (located on the
driver’s door pillar). For more information re-
garding GVWR and GAWR, see “VEHICLE LOAD-ING INFORMATION” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section.
WARNING
●
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying capac-
ity, especially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the roof rack.
● Heavy loading of the roof rack has the poten-
tial to affect the vehicle stability and han-
dling during sudden or unusual handling
maneuvers.
● Roof rack load should be evenly distributed.
● Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing items from
the roof rack. If you cannot comfortably lift the
items onto the roof rack from the ground, use a
ladder or stool.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
● Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in
motion and before closing the windows. Use
the window lock switch to prevent unex-
pected use of the power windows.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and become trapped in
the window. Unattended children could be-
come involved in serious accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for about 45
seconds after the ignition switch is pushed to
the OFF position. If the driver’s or front passen-
ger’s door is opened during this period of about
45 seconds, power to the windows is canceled.

●Unsecured cargo can be thrown around
when driving over rough terrain. Properly se-
cure all cargo so it will not be thrown forward
and cause injury to you or your passengers.
● To avoid raising the center of gravity exces-
sively, do not exceed the rated capacity of
the roof rack (if so equipped) and evenly dis-
tribute the load. Secure heavy loads in the
cargo area as far forward and as low as pos-
sible. Do not equip the vehicle with tires
larger than specified in this manual. This
could cause your vehicle to roll over.
● Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steer-
ing wheel when driving off-road. The steer-
ing wheel could move suddenly and injure
your hands. Instead drive with your fingers
and thumbs on the outside of the rim.
● Before operating the vehicle, ensure that the
driver and all passengers have their seat
belts fastened.
● Always drive with the floor mats in place as
the floor may became hot.
● Lower your speed when encountering strong
crosswinds. With a higher center of gravity,
your INFINITI is more affected by strong side
winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control. ●
Do not drive beyond the performance capa-
bility of the tires, even with AWD engaged.
● For AWD equipped vehicles, do not attempt
to raise two wheels off the ground and shift
the transmission to any drive or reverse po-
sition with the engine running. Doing so may
result in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in seri-
ous vehicle damage or personal injury.
● Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped ve-
hicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer (such as
the dynamometers used by some states for
emissions testing), or similar equipment
even if the other two wheels are raised off
the ground. Make sure you inform test facil-
ity personnel that your vehicle is equipped
with AWD before it is placed on a dynamom-
eter. Using the wrong test equipment may
result in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in seri-
ous vehicle damage or personal injury. (AWD
models)
● When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively.
● Accelerating quickly, sharp steering maneu-
vers or sudden braking may cause loss of
control. ●
If at all possible, avoid sharp turning maneu-
vers, particularly at high speeds. Your ve-
hicle has a higher center of gravity than a
conventional passenger car. The vehicle is
not designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger cars. Fail-
ure to operate this vehicle correctly could
result in loss of control and/or a rollover
accident.
● Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or ra-
dial), and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Install tire chains on the rear wheels when
driving on slippery roads and drive carefully.
● Be sure to check the brakes immediately af-
ter driving in mud or water. See “BRAKE SYS-
TEM” later in this section for wet brakes.
● Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If
you get out of the vehicle and it rolls forward,
backward or sideways, you could be injured.
● Whenever you drive off-road through sand,
mud or water as deep as the wheel hub, more
frequent maintenance may be required. See
the maintenance information in the “INFINITI
Service and Maintenance Guide”.

*1: Model without roof rack
*2: Model with roof rack If you plan to travel in another country,
you
should first find out if the fuel available is
suitable for your vehicle’s engine.
Using fuel with too low an octane rating may
cause engine damage. All gasoline vehicles
must be operated with unleaded gasoline.
Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle to areas
where appropriate fuel is not available.
When transferring the registration of your ve-
hicle to another country, state, province or dis-
trict, it may be necessary to modify the vehicle
to meet local laws and regulations.
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle
emission control and safety standards vary
according to the country, state, province or
district; therefore, vehicle specifications may
differ.
When any vehicle is to be taken into another
country, state, province or district and regis-
tered, its modifications, transportation, and reg-
istration are the responsibility of the user.
INFINITI is not responsible for any inconvenience
that may result.
