children. See“Child restraints” (P.1-20).
A child restraint may be secured in the
vehicle by using either the LATCH (Lower
Anchor and Tethers for CHildren) system or
with the vehicle seat belt. See “Child
restraints” (P.1-20) for more information.
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear seat.
Studies show that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-
tem (Air bag system) for the front passen-
ger. See “Supplemental restraint system ”
(P.1-37).

WARNING
.Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
roof rack.
. Heavy loading of the roof rack has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
. Roof rack load should be evenly dis-
tributed.
. Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. 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.

.The RearView camera is a convenience
but it is not a substitute to check behind
the vehicle when backing up.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
. Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor
differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
. Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite like ones
viewed in the inside and outside mirrors.
. Make sure that the lift gate is securely
closed when backing up.
. Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the rearview monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. .
Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is installed
above the license plate.
. When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water
condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.

safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
. Do not use the Around View Monitor with
the outside mirror in the stored position,
and make sure that the lift gate is
securely closed when operating the
vehicle using the Around View Monitor.
. The distance between objects viewed on
the Around View Monitor differs from the
actual distance.
. The cameras are installed above the
front grille, the outside mirrors and
above the rear license plate. Do not put
anything on the cameras.
. When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it

CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
. Do not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.
This may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
.
Facilities or electric devices using simi-
lar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies is being used in or near the
vehicle.
. If a computer (or similar equipment) or
a DC/AC converter is being used in or
near the vehicle.

WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner may result in loss of control
or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid exces-
sive speed, high speed cornering, or
sudden steering maneuvers, because
these driving practices could cause you to
lose control of your vehicle.
As with any
vehicle, a loss of control could result in a
collision with other vehicles or objects, or
cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if
the loss of control causes the vehicle to
slide sideways. Be attentive at all times,
