ECU INFINITI G-CONVERTIBLE 2011 Owner's Guide

INTELLIGENT KEY OPERATING RANGE
The Intelligent Key functions can only be used
when the Intelligent Key is within the specified
operating range from the request switch
1.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged
or strong radio waves are present near the
operating location, the Intelligent Key system’s
operating range becomes narrower, and the
Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 31.50 in (80 cm)
from each request switch
1.
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door
glass, handle or rear bumper the request
switches may not function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the operating
range, it is possible for anyone who does not
carry the Intelligent Key to push the request
switch to lock/unlock the doors and open the
trunk lid.
DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS PRECAUTION
● Do not push the door handle request switch
with the Intelligent Key held in your hand as
illustrated. The close distance to the door
handle will cause the Intelligent Key system
to have difficulty recognizing that the Intel-
ligent Key is outside the vehicle.
● After locking with the door handle request
switch, verify the doors are securely locked
by testing them.
● To prevent the Intelligent Key from being left
inside the vehicle or the trunk, make sure
you carry the key with you and then lock the
doors or the trunk.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-17

●Do not operate the retractable hard top in a
strong wind. It could be blown by the wind,
striking someone or damaging the retract-
able hard top.
● When the retractable hard top is retracted,
do not allow anyone to stand up or extend
any portion of their body out of the opening
while the vehicle is in motion or while the
retractable hard top is being operated.
● In an accident you could be thrown from the
vehicle with an open retractable hard top if
you do not use seat belts. Always use seat
belts and proper child restraints.
● Do not place any objects on or near the re-
tractable hard top operating switch. Unin-
tentional operation of the retractable hard
top may cause injuries or an accident if the
objects press the switch.
● Do not put your fingers or hands in the gap
between the rear seats and the rear parcel
shelf or the side flaps. Doing so may cause
injury if the retractable hard top is operated.CAUTION
● Do not operate the retractable hard top when
the temperature is below 32°F (0°C). This
may result in damage to the retractable hard
top material or operating system.
● Remove water drops, snow, ice or sand from
the retractable hard top, and dry the surface
of the retractable hard top completely before
opening it.
● Do not open the retractable hard top when it
is wet or damp. If the retractable hardtop and
rear window are wet, water might get inside
of the vehicle. To avoid this, wipe off any
water drops before opening the retractable
hard top.
● Do not place any objects between the hard
rail and the structure. Doing so could inter-
fere with retractable hard top operation and
cause damage to the retractable hard top
operating system or the objects.
● Do not place any objects on the upper area of
the windshield glass or the hard rail when
the retractable hard top is fully opened. Do-
ing so could interfere with retractable hard
top operation and cause damage. ●

able hard top when the retractable hard top
is stored in the storage space. Doing so may
interfere with retractable hard top operation
and cause damage.

hard top, rear parcel shelf, side flaps and
trunk lid. Even small items may interfere
with the retractable hard top operation and
could cause damage to the retractable hard
top or the vehicle body.
● Do not place anything in the retractable hard
top storage area. The retractable hard top
will not fit there properly, and this could
damage the retractable hard top and/or the
vehicle body.

INTERIOR TRUNK LID RELEASE
WARNING
Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from playing and
becoming locked in the trunk where they could
be seriously injured. Keep the car locked, with
the trunk lid securely latched, when not in use,
and prevent children’s access to Intelligent
Keys.
The interior trunk lid release mechanism allows
opening of the trunk lid in the event that people
become locked inside the trunk or in the event
of the loss of electrical power such as a dis-
charged battery.
Releasing inside the trunk
To open the trunk lid from the inside, pull the
release handle

push up on the trunk lid. The release lever is
made of a material that glows in the dark after
a brief exposure to ambient light.
The handle is located on the back of the trunk
lid as illustrated.

FUEL-FILLER DOOR
3-30Pre-driving checks and adjustments

To lock, close the fuel-filler door securely and
lock all doors by operating the door handle
request switch, the LOCK button on the Intelli-
gent Key, the mechanical key or the power door
lock switch.
FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
●Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. You
could be burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks near the vehicle when refueling.
● Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after
the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automati-
cally. Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possi-
bly a fire.
● Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It could
also cause the malfunction indicator light to
come on. ●
Never pour fuel into the throttle body to at-
tempt to start your vehicle.
● Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can cause
an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or
gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when filling
portable fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel contain- ers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
●If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it
away with water to avoid paint damage. ●
Insert the cap straight into the fuel-filler
tube, then tighten until a single click is
heard. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
malfunction
indicator light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or in-
stall the cap and continue to drive the ve-
hicle. The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the
light does not
turn off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
● The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will appear if
the fuel-filler cap is not properly tightened.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap properly
after the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears
may cause the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to illuminate.
