Tire Pressure Monitoring System
warning messages
If the tire pressure monitor detects a pressure
loss in one or more tires, a warning message is
shown in the vehicle information display and
the yellow tire pressure monitor warning lamp
comes on.
•If the [Please Correct Tire Pressure] (yellow)
message appears in the vehicle information
display, the tire pressure in at least one tire
is too low and must be corrected at the next
opportunity. If the system detects that new
sensors have been fitted (IDs do not match
those stored, and the pressure is not fea-
sible, or is less than 14% under the norm
then the [Please Correct Tire Pressure] mes-
sage will be displayed in white.
•If the [Check Tires] (red) message appears in
the vehicle information display, the tire pres-
sure in one or more tires has dropped sig-
nificantly and the tires must be checked.
•If the [Warning Tire Malfunction] (red) mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, the tire pressure in one or more tires
has dropped suddenly and the tires must be
checked.
•If the [Tire Press. Sensor(s) Missing] mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, one or more sensors are missing or
cannot be detected. This could be the result
of fitting a replacement wheel/tire.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the
display messages in the vehicle information
display.
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are inter-
changed, the tire pressures may be displayed
for the wrong positions for a short time. After a
few minutes of driving, this is rectified and the
tire pressures are displayed for the correct
positions.
Restarting TPMS
To keep the TPMS functioning properly, the
restart operation must be performed in the
following cases:
•When the tire pressure is adjusted
•When a tire or a wheel is replaced
•When the tires are rotated
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamps go out. The monitor uses the
currently set tire pressures as the reference
values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire
pressure monitor will automatically detect the new reference values after you have changed
the tire pressure. However, you can also define
reference values manually as described here.
The tire pressure monitor then monitors the
new tire pressure values.
Perform the following procedures to restart the
TPMS.
NOTE
Before restarting, make sure that the tire pres-
sures are set properly on all four tires for the
respective operating conditions. The recom-
mended tire pressures can be found in the tire
pressure placard on the driver’ door pillar.
1. Make sure that the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
2. Press the
orbutton on the
steering wheel to select the [Serv.] menu.
3. Press the
orbutton to select
[Tire Pressure].
4. Press to confirm. The vehicle information display shows the
current tire pressure for each tire or the [Tire
pressures will be displayed after driving a
few minutes] message.

If you wish to confirm the restart:
5. Press to confirm.The [Tire Press. Monitor Restarted] message
appears in the vehicle information display.
After you have driven for a few minutes, the
system checks whether the current tire pres-
sures are within the specified range The new
tire pressures are then accepted as refer-
ence values and monitored
If you wish to cancel the restart:
6. Press the
button.
The tire pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored

ON PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than pas-
senger cars to make them capable of perform-
ing in a variety of on-pavement and off-road
applications. This gives them a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An advantage of
higher ground clearance is a better view of the
road, allowing you to anticipate problems. How-
ever, they are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive
vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily underoff-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid
sharp turns at high speeds. As with other
vehicles of this type, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
For additional information, refer to
Driving
safety precautions later in this section.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLLOVER
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 excessive speed,
high speed cornering, or sudden steering ma-
neuvers, because these driving practices could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
As with any vehicle, loss of control could result
in a collision with other vehicles or objects or
cause the vehicle to roll over, particularly if the
loss of control causes the vehicle to slide side-
ways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid
driving when tired. Never drive when under the
5-10Starting and driving

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe locationoff the road and away from traffic if possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradually stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and contact a roadside emergency service to
change the tire. For additional information,
refer to Flat tire in the6. In case of
emergency section.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces co-
ordination, delays reaction time and impairs
judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol in-
creases the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others. Addi-
tionally, if you are injured in an accident, alco-
hol can increase the severity of the injury.
INFINITI is committed to safe driving. However,
you must choose not to drive under the influ-
ence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people
are injured or killed in alcohol-related acci-
dents. Although the local laws vary on what is
considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of alco-
hol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And
that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter,
prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if
your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired
by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical con-
dition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your INFINITI is designed for both normal and
off-road use. However, avoid driving in deep
water or mud as your INFINITI is mainly de-
signed for leisure use, unlike a conventional
off-road vehicle.
Remember that 2–wheel drive vehicles are less
capable than all-wheel drive (AWD) models for
rough road driving and extrication when stuck
in deep snow or mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
•Spinning the front wheels on slippery sur-
faces may cause the AWD warning message
to display and the AWD system to automati-
cally switch from the AWD to 2WD mode.
This could reduce the traction. Be especially
careful when towing a trailer. (AWD models)
•Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas. Every person who drives
or rides in this vehicle should be seated
with their seat belt fastened. This will keep
you and your passengers in position when
driving over rough terrain.
•Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead
drive either straight up or straight down the
slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip over side-
ways much more easily than they can for-
ward or backward.
•Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If
you drive up them, you may stall. If you drive
down them, you may not be able to control
your speed. If you drive across them, you
may roll over.
•Do not shift gears while driving on downhill
grades as this could cause loss of control of
the vehicle.
•Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At
the top there could be a drop-off or other
hazard that could cause an accident.
•If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to
the top of a steep hill, never attempt to turn
around. Your vehicle could tip or roll over.
5-12Starting and driving

Never hold the vehicle stationary on uphill
gradients by depressing the accelerator. In-
stead, only ever hold the vehicle stationary on
uphill gradients by:
•Depressing the brake pedal.
•Engaging the electric parking brake.
Kickdown
Use kickdown for maximum acceleration:
•Depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point.
The transmission shifts to a lower gear de-
pending on the engine speed.
•Ease off the accelerator pedal once the de-
sired speed is reached.
The automatic transmission shifts back up.
Drive mode switch
The drive mode switch allows you to choose
between drive programs with different driving
characteristics.
Press drive mode switch
1. The selected drive
program appears in the vehicle information
display.
The automatic transmission switches to drive
program E each time the engine is started.
E (Economy): comfortable, economical driving
S (Sport): sporty driving style
M (Manual): manual gear shifting
For more details of the manual drive program
see Manual drive program later in this section.
Steering wheel gearshift paddles
1Left steering wheel gearshift paddle
(shifts down)
2Right steering wheel gearshift paddle
(shifts up)
In drive program M, you can change gear your-
self using the steering wheel gearshift paddles.
If you pull the left or right steering wheel
gearshift paddle when in automatic drive pro-
gram E or S, the automatic transmission shifts
into drive program M for a limited time. Depend-
ing on which gearshift paddle is pulled, the
automatic transmission immediately shifts into
the next gear down or up.

Automatic drive programs
Drive program E is characterized by the follow-
ing:
•Comfort-oriented engine settings.
•Optimal fuel consumption resulting from the
automatic transmission shifting up sooner.
•The vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward and reverse gears unless the accel-
erator pedal is depressed fully.
•Increased sensitivity. This improves handling
on slippery road surfaces, for example.
•The automatic transmission shifting up
sooner. This results in the vehicle being
driven at lower engine speeds and the
wheels being less likely to spin.
Drive program S is characterized by the follow-
ing:
•Sporty engine settings.
•The automatic transmission shifting up later.
•As a result of the later automatic transmis-
sion shift points, the fuel consumption pos-
sibly being higher.
Manual drive program
In manual drive program M, you can change
gear yourself by using the steering wheel gear-
shift paddles. For this, the transmission must
be in position D (Drive). The gear currently
selected and engaged is shown in the vehicle
information display
Manual drive program M differs from drive
programs E and S with regard to spontaneity,
responsiveness and smoothness of gear
changes.
Using manual gears
:
3 To use the engine’s braking effect
2 To use the braking effect of the engine on downhill gradients and for driving on steep
mountain roads, in mountainous terrain or
in arduous conditions.
1 To use the braking effect of the engine on extremely steep downhill gradients and on
long downhill stretches. Activating the manual drive program
:
•Permanently: Press the drive mode switch
1repeatedly until M appears in the vehicle
information display. Manual drive program M
remains active until drive program E or S is
engaged.
•Temporarily: Pull the right or left steering
wheel gearshift paddle (see Steering wheel
gearshift paddles later in this section).
Manual drive program M is temporarily ac-
tive. Depending on which gearshift paddle is
pulled, the automatic transmission immedi-
ately shifts into the next gear down or up.
When manual drive program M is activated via
the steering wheel gearshift paddles, the tem-
porarily active manual drive program M will be
deactivated automatically after a limited time, if

BMenu barThe LDW system operates at speeds of approxi-
mately 40 MPH (60 km/h) and above, when the
lane markings are clear.
If the system detects that the vehicle’s front
wheel has passed over the lane marking, a
warning will be provided. It will warn you by
means of intermittent vibration through the
steering wheel for up to 1.5 seconds and a
visual alert.
NOTE
The LDW system is designed not to warn when
you operate the lane change signal and change
traveling lanes in the direction of the signal.
No warning vibration occurs if you activate the
turn signals. In this event, the warnings are sup-
pressed for a certain period of time.

The system may detect certain conditions and
warns you accordingly. The warning vibration occurs earlier if:
•You approach the outer lane marking on a
bend.
•The road has very wide lanes, for example, a
freeway.
•The system detects solid lane markings.
The warning vibration occurs later if:
•The road has narrow lanes.
•You cut across a corner on a bend.
LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the
LDW system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
•This system is only a warning device to in-
form the driver of a potential unintended
lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle
or prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.

RADAR MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensor unitsAfor the BSW
system are located near the rear bumper. Al-
ways keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water,
mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors. Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended you consult
an INFINITI retailer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.

Cruise control maintains a constant road speed
for you. It brakes automatically in order to avoid
exceeding the set speed. You must select a
lower gear in good time on long and steep
downhill gradients, especially if the vehicle is
laden or towing a trailer.WARNING
For vehicles with automatic transmission, you
need to have selected manual drive program M
(see
Manual drive program earlier in this sec-
tion). By doing so, you will make use of the
braking effect of the engine. This relieves the
load on the brake system and prevents the
brakes from overheating and wearing too
quickly.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic con-
ditions are appropriate for maintaining a steady
speed for a prolonged period. You can set the
cruise control at any road speed above 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
The speed indicated in the speedometer may
differ slightly from the set speed.

CRUISE CONTROL
5-44Starting and driving

System operation
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based
on the road conditions. The ICC system main-
tains the set vehicle speed, similar to standard
cruise control, as long as no vehicle is detected
in the lane ahead. The ICC system displays the
set speed for 5 seconds after the cruise control
lever is activated.
Vehicle detected ahead
:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by con-
trolling the throttle and applying the brakes to
match the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The
system then controls the vehicle speed based
on the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain
the driver selected distance.The brake lights of the vehicle come on when
braking is performed by the ICC system. When
the brake operates, a noise may be heard. This
is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead symbol
1appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
Vehicle ahead not detected
:
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to
resume the previously set vehicle speed. The
ICC system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead display turns off
2.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration
to the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system is in operation, the system controls the
distance to that vehicle.
Changing lanes to pass another
vehicle:
When you changes lane to pass another ve-
hicle, ICC supports the action if:
•The vehicle speed is more than 45 MPH
(70 km/h)
•The ICC is maintaining the distance to a
vehicle in front
•The respective turn signal is activated
If these conditions are met, the vehicle will be
accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted if
changing lanes takes too long or if the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
becomes too small.

–The ICC system has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e. g. by a
vehicle occupant.
– The accelerator pedal has been de-
pressed, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
For further information on deactivating the ICC
system, see ICC switch (cruise control lever)
earlier in this section
If the ICC system detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it
is stationary (within the braking limitations of
the system).
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress the
brake.
NOTE
•After a short period, the vehicle is secured by
the electric parking brake, thus relieving the
service brake.
•Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever. The electric parking brake secures the vehicle
automatically if the ICC system is activated
when the vehicle is stationary and:
•A system fault occurs.
•The power supply is insufficient.
If a malfunction in the electric parking brake
occurs, then the transmission may also be
shifted into position P (Park) automatically.
How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be se-
lected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
To increase the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the rear2. To de-
crease the distance to the vehicle ahead, turn
the knob
3toward the front1.
You can see this distance in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead will change
according to the vehicle speed. The higher the
vehicle speed, the longer the distance.
