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 the fuel-filler cap
clicks. 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 thelight does not
turn off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
●
The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning (if so equipped)
will appear if the fuel-filler cap is not properly
tightened. It may take a few driving trips for
the message to be displayed. Failure to
tighten the fuel-filler cap properly after the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning (if so equipped) ap-
pears may cause the
Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) to illuminate.
The fuel-filler cap is a ratcheting type. Turn the
cap counterclockwise to remove. To tighten,
turn the cap clockwise until ratcheting clicks
are heard.

WARNING
●Do not adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing. You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
● Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer
to you than is necessary for proper steering
operation and comfort. The driver’s air bag
inflates with great force. If you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat belts.
ELECTRIC OPERATION
Tilt or telescopic operation
Move the lever1to adjust the steering wheel
up or down, forward or rearward to the desired
position.
Entry/Exit function operation :
The automatic drive positioner system will
make the steering wheel move up automatically
when the driver’s door is opened with the
ignition switch in the LOCK position. This lets
the driver get into and out of the seat more
easily.
For more information, see “AUTOMATIC DRIVE
POSITIONER” later in this section.

“Metric”. (See “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON”
later in this section.)
The fuel economy information may differ from
the information displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. This is due to the timing differ-
ence in updating the information and does not
indicate a malfunction.
TIRE PRESSURE information
WARNING
●When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer
as soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting. ●
Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
The tire pressure will be displayed for refer-
ence.
The pressure indication “** kPa” or “** psi” on
the screen means that the pressure is being
measured. After a few driving trips, the pres-
sure for each tire will be displayed.
To change the measurement units, select the
“Select Units” key with the INFINITI controller
and push the ENTER button.
In case of low tire pressure, LOW PRESSURE
information will be displayed on the screen.

WARNING
●The Around View Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper vehicle
operation because it has areas where ob-
jects cannot be viewed. Always look out the
windows and check to be sure that it is safe
to move before operating the vehicle. Always
operate the vehicle slowly.
● 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
around the cameras. Otherwise, water may
enter the camera unit causing water conden-
sation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock. ●
Do not strike the cameras. They are precision
instruments. Doing so could cause a mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt or
snow from the front of the camera.
NOTE:
The color of the view on the Around View Monitor
display is different from the actual view because
the system uses infrared cameras.

HOW TO SEE EACH VIEW
WARNING
● The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a paved, level surface.
The distance viewed on the monitor is for
reference only and may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
● Use the displayed lines and the bird-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the bird-
eye view are greatly affected by the number
of occupants, fuel level, vehicle position,
road condition and road grade.
● If the tires are replaced with different sized
tires, the predictive course lines and the
bird-eye view may be displayed incorrectly.
● When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than they
appear. When driving the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear. Use the mirrors or actually look
to properly judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines
are wider than the actual width and course.
