INFINITI JX 2013 Owner's Manual

LUGGAGE HOOKS
When securing items using luggage hooks lo-
cated on the back of the seat or side finisher do
not apply a load over more than 6.5 lbs (29 N) to
a single hook.
The luggage hooks that are located on the floor
should have loads less then 110 lbs (490 N) to a
single hook.
The luggage hooks can be used to secure cargo
with ropes or other types of straps.
WARNING
●Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
● Use suitable ropes and hooks to secure
cargo.
● Never allow anyone to ride in the lug-
gage area. It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area inside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
● Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
● The child restraint top tether strap may
be damaged by contact with items in
the cargo area. Secure any items in the
cargo area. Your child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision if
the top tether strap is damaged.
● Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Genuine NISSAN accessory cross bars are avail-
able through your INFINITI retailer. Contact an
INFINITI retailer for crossbar or other equipment
information.
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the cross
bars (if so equipped) . Do not load more than
150 lb (68 kg) on the cross bars (if so equipped) .
Observe the maximum load limit shown on the
cross bars (if so equipped) or roof carriers when
you attach them on the roof cross bars (if so
equipped) . Contact an INFINITI retailer for cross-
bar or other equipment information.Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars (if so equipped) must be in-
stalled before applying load/cargo/luggage to
the roof of the vehicle.
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 (lo-
cated on the driver’s door pillar) . For more infor-
mation regarding GVWR and GAWR, see “Ve-
hicle loading information” in the “Technical and
customer information” section.
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
cross bars (if so equipped) .
● Heavy loading of the cross bars (if so
equipped) has the potential to affect
the vehicle stability and handling dur-
ing sudden or unusual handling
maneuvers.
● Roof rack cross bars (if so equipped)
should be evenly distributed. ●
Do not exceed maximum roof rack
cross bars (if so equipped) load.
● 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
Always install the cross bars (if so
equipped) onto the roof side rails before
loading cargo of any kind. Loading cargo
directly onto the roof side rails or the
vehicle’s roof may cause vehicle damage.

CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could result
in a discharged battery.The Type A system does not have an IV
1on the
back of the mirror. Move the mirror to see if the IV
is present. If the IV is not on the mirror, use the
procedure in this section to program the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. If the IV is on
the mirror, use the procedure in “HomeLink®
universal transceiver (Type B) (if so equipped)”.
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device. HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
● Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity systems.
● Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all program-
ming.
Once the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases) .
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes. For
additional information, refer to “Program-
ming HomeLink®” later in this section.
