WARNING
•Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and in-
jure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal illness to people or animals.
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
•To avoid raising the center of gravity exces-
sively, do not exceed the rated capacity of
the roof rack (if so equipped) and evenly
distribute the load.
EXHAUST GAS (CARBON MONOXIDE)
WARNING
•Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains col-
orless and odorless carbon monoxide. Car-
bon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
•If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open, and have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
•Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as a garage.
•Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for an extended period of time.
•Keep the lift gate closed while driving, oth-
erwise exhaust gas could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must drive
with the lift gate open, follow these precau-
tions:– Open all the windows.
– Turn the air recirculation switch off and
set the fan control to the highest level to
circulate the air.
•If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the seal
ion the lift gate or body, follow the manufac- turer’s recommendations to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
•The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
– You suspect that exhaust fumes are en-
tering into the passenger compartment.
– You notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system.
– You have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody,
or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST (IF EQUIPPED)
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gas in the three-way catalyst is burned at high
temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
•The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals and
flammable materials away from the exhaust
system components.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING
5-4Starting and driving

Always back straight down in R (Reverse)
gear and apply brakes to control your
speed.
•Heavy braking going down a hill could cause
your brakes to overheat and fade, resulting
in loss of control and an accident. Apply
brakes lightly and use a low gear to control
your speed.
•Unsecured cargo can be thrown around
when driving over rough terrain. Properly
secure all cargo so it will not be thrown
forward and cause injury to you or your pas-
sengers.
•Secure heavy loads in the cargo area as far
forward and as low as possible. Do not
equip the vehicle with tires larger than
specified in this manual. This could cause
your vehicle to roll over.
•Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steer-
ing wheel when driving off-road. The steer-
ing wheel could move suddenly and injure
your hands. Instead drive with your fingers
and thumbs on the outside of the rim.
•Before operating the vehicle, ensure that
the driver and all passengers have their seat
belts fastened.
•Always drive with the floor mats in place as
the floor may become hot.
•Lower your speed when encountering
strong crosswinds. With a higher center of
gravity, your INFINITI is more affected by
strong side winds. Slower speeds ensure
better vehicle control.
•Do not drive beyond the performance capa-
bility of the tires, even with AWD engaged.
•For AWD equipped vehicles, do not attempt
to raise two wheels off the ground and shift
the transmission to any drive or reverse po-
sition with the engine running. Doing so
may result in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which could re-
sult in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
•Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped
vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer (such as
the dynamometers used by some states for
emissions testing), or similar equipment
even if the other two wheels are raised off
the ground. Make sure you inform test facil-
ity personnel that your vehicle is equipped
with AWD before it is placed on a dynamom-
eter. Using the wrong test equipment may
result in drivetrain damage or unexpectedvehicle movement which could result in se-
rious vehicle damage or personal injury.
•When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel ex-
cessively.
•Accelerating quickly, sharp steering ma-
neuvers or sudden braking may cause loss
of control.
•If at all possible, avoid sharp turning ma-
neuvers, particularly at high speeds. Your
INFINITI vehicle has a higher center of grav-
ity than a passenger car. The vehicle is not
designed for cornering at the same speeds
as passenger cars. Failure to operate this
vehicle correctly could result in loss of con-
trol and/or a rollover accident.
•Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted, or
radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Install tire chains on the front wheels when
driving on slippery roads and drive care-
fully.
•Be sure to check the brakes immediately
after driving in mud or water.

Transmission position display:
NOTE
If the transmission position display in the ve-
hicle information display is not working, you
should pull away carefully to check whether the
desired transmission position IS engaged. Ide-
ally, you should select transmission position D
and automatic drive program E or S.
The shift lever indicator
1located in the lower
part of the vehicle information display shows
the current position of the transmission.
It shows the P,R,N,D modes when the transmis-
sion is in auto mode or the shift position when
the transmission is in manual mode.
WARNING
Apply the parking brake if the shift lever is in
any position while the engine is not running.
Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to move
unexpectedly or roll away and result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
Use the P (Park) or R (Reverse) position only
when the vehicle is completely stopped. P (Park)
:
CAUTION
To prevent transmission damage, use the P
(Park) position only when the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped.
Use this position when the vehicle is parked or
when starting the engine. Always make sure
that the vehicle is completely stopped before
pressing button
1to engage the P (Park)
position. For maximum safety, the brake pedal
must be depressed before engaging the P (Park)
position. Use this position together with the
parking brake. When parking on a hill, first
depress the brake pedal, apply the parking
brake and then engage the P (Park) position.
The parking lock should not be used as a brake
when parking. In order to secure the vehicle,

WARNING
•Be sure the parking brake is fully released
before driving. Failure to do so can cause
brake failure and lead to an accident.
•Do not release the parking brake from out-
side the vehicle.
•Do not use the shift lever in place of the
parking brake. When parking, be sure the
parking brake is fully engaged.
•To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, do not leave children, people
who require the assistance of others, or
pets unattended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle
on a warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
The function of the electric parking brake is
dependent on the on-board voltage. If the on-
board voltage is low or if there is a malfunction
in the system, it may not be possible to apply
the released parking brake. If this is the case:
•Only park the vehicle on level ground and
secure it to prevent it from rolling away.
•Shift the automatic transmission to position
P (Park).
•It is recommended you contact an INFINITI
retailer.
It may not be possible to release an applied
parking brake if the on-board voltage is low or
if there is a malfunction in the system. It is
recommended you contact an INFINITI retailer.
The electric parking brake carries out a function
check at regular intervals when the engine is
switched off. Noises that occur are normal.
APPLYING/RELEASING MANUALLY

Storing the current speed or calling up the last
stored speed:
WARNING
If you call up a stored speed and this is differ-
ent from the current speed, the vehicle accel-
erates or brakes. If you do not know what the
stored speed is, the vehicle may accelerate or
brake unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Take the traffic conditions into account before
calling up the stored speed. If you do not know
what the stored speed is, store the desired
speed again.
1. Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards you
2.
2. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. The first time cruise control is acti-
vated, it stores the current speed or if a
speed has previously been stored, it regu-
lates the speed of the vehicle to the previ-
ously stored speed.
Setting a speed
Bear in mind that it may take a brief moment
until the vehicle has accelerated or braked to
the set speed.
1. Press the cruise control lever up
1for a
higher speed or down
3for a lower speed.
2. Keep the cruise control lever pressed until the desired speed is reached.
3. Release the cruise control lever, The new speed is stored.
4. To adjust the set speed in 1 MPH (1 km/h) increments: briefly press the cruise control
lever up
1or down3to the pressure
point. The last stored speed increases or
decreases in 1 MPH (1 km/h) increments.
5. To adjust the set speed in 10 MPH (10 km/h) increments: briefly press the cruise control
lever up
1or down3beyond the pressure
point. The last stored speed increases or
decreases in 10 MPH (10 km/h) increments.
NOTE
Cruise control is not deactivated if you depress
the accelerator pedal. For example, if you accel-
erate briefly to overtake, cruise control adjusts
the vehicle’s speed to the last speed stored after
you have finished overtaking.
Deactivating cruise control

5-46Starting and driving

–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.
