Auto reverse function
WARNING
There are some small distances immediately
before the closed position which cannot be de-
tected. Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc., inside the vehicle before clos-
ing the window.
If the control unit detects something caught in
the window as it is closing, the window will be
immediately lowered.
The auto reverse function can be activated when
the window is closed by automatic operation
when the ignition switch is in the ON position or
for 45 seconds after the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driving condi-
tions, the auto reverse function may be activated
if an impact or load similar to something being
caught in the window occurs.
If the windows do not close
automatically
If the power window automatic function (closing
only) does not operate properly, perform the
following procedure to initialize the power win-
dow system.
1. Push the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion.
2. Close the door.
3. Open the window completely by operating the power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then hold the
switch more than 3 seconds after the
window is closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Oper- ate the window by the automatic function

any portion of their body out of the moonroof
opening while the vehicle is in motion or
while the moonroof is closing.
CAUTION

switch is in the ON position.
The automatic moonroof is operational for
about 45 seconds, even if the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position. If the driver’s door
or the passenger’s door is opened during this
period of about 45 seconds, power to the
moonroof is canceled.

FM radio reception :
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single
station) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to
the distance between the transmitter and re-
ceiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path,
exhibiting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to
fade and/or drift.Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with increased
distance from the station transmitter, static or
flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by
lowering the treble setting to reduce the treble
response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception :
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmit-
ter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.Satellite radio reception :
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
the satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of
any metal or large building for the satellite
radio to receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active XM
Satellite Radio subscription. The satellite radio
is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be affected
if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.

Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions before using air fresheners.
MOONROOF SUNSHADE (if so
equipped)
The moonroof sunshade is made from a suede
material.
Clean the sunshade material as follows:
CAUTION
To help prevent damaging the sunshade while
cleaning:
●Do not rub the material with a cloth. Doing so
can damage the surface of the material or
cause a stain to spread.
● Never use benzine, thinner or any similar
chemical to clean the suede. This may dis-
color the sunshade and damage the surface.
● Clean water based stains by patting the sur-
face with a clean soft cloth dampened in
warm water. Press a clean dry cloth onto the
surface to remove as much dampness as
possible and then let air dry.
● Clean oil based stains by patting the surface
with a clean soft cloth dampened in warm
water. Press a clean dry cloth onto the sur-
face to remove as much dampness as pos-
sible and then let air dry.
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference that may
result in a collision or injury:
● NEVER place a floor mat on top of another
floor mat in the driver front position.
● Use only NISSAN Genuine Floor Mats specifi-
cally designed for use in your vehicle model.
See your NISSAN dealer.
● Properly position the mats in the floorwell
using the floor mat positioning aid. See
“Floor mat positioning aid” in this section.
FLOOR MATS
The use of INFINITI floor mats can extend the life
of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to
clean the interior. Mats should be maintained
with regular cleaning and replaced if they be-
come excessively worn.Floor mat positioning aid
This model includes front floor mat brackets to
act as floor mat positioning aid. INFINITI floor
mats have been specially designed for your
vehicle model. The front floor mats have grom-
met holes in them. To install, simply position
the mat by placing the floor mat bracket
through the floor mat grommet hole while cen-
tering the mat in the floor pan contour.
Periodically check to make certain that the mats
are properly positioned.
