ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differ-
ently from an ordinary passenger car because it
has a higher center of gravity for off-road use. As
with other vehicles with features of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correctly may re-
sult in loss of control or an accident.
For additional information, refer to “On-
pavement and off-road driving precautions”,
“Avoiding collision and rollover” and “Driving
safety precautions” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Modifica-
tion could affect its performance, safety or dura-
bility and may even violate governmental regu-
lations. In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from modifications may not
be covered under INFINITI warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) plug-in device that uses the port during
normal driving, for example remote insurance
company monitoring, remote vehicle diagnos-
tics, telematics or engine reprogramming, maycause interference or damage to vehicle sys-
tems. We do not recommend or endorse the
use of any aftermarket OBD plug-in devices,
unless specifically approved by INFINITI. The
vehicle warranty may not cover damage
caused by any aftermarket plug-in device.
WHEN READING THE MANUAL
This manual includes information for all fea-
tures and equipment available on this model.
Features and equipment in your vehicle may
vary depending on model, trim level, options
selected, order, date of production, region or
availability. Therefore, you may find information
about features or equipment that are not in-
cluded or installed on your vehicle.
All information, specifications and illustrations

THIS MANUAL
You will see various symbols in this manual.
They are used in the following ways:
WARNING
This is used to indicate the presence of a haz-
ard that could cause death or serious personal
injury. To avoid or reduce the risk, the proce-
dures must be followed precisely.

•Right after inflation, several side air bag
and curtain air bag system components will
be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
•No unauthorized changes should be made
to any components or wiring of the side air
bag and curtain air bag systems. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental inflation of
the side air bag and curtain air bag systems.
•Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem or side panel. This could affect proper
operation of the curtain air bag systems.
•Tampering with the side air bag system may
result in serious personal injury. For ex-
ample, do not change the front seats by
placing material near the seatbacks or by
installing additional trim material, such as
seat covers, around the side air bag.
•It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for work on and around the front air
bag. It is also recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for installation of electri-
cal equipment. The SRS wiring harnesses*
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
side air bag or curtain air bag systems.
Driver and passenger supplemental
knee air bags
The driver’s knee air bag deploys under the
steering column, while the passenger’s knee air
bag deploys under the glove box. All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The driv-
er’s and passenger’s knee air bags are trig-
gered together with the front air bag. The knee
air bags are designed to inflate in higher sever-
ity frontal collisions, although they may inflate
if the forces in another type of collision are
similar to those of a higher severity frontal
impact. They may not inflate in certain colli-
sions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper knee air bag operation.
When a knee air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise
may be heard, followed by release of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate
a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as
it may cause irritation and choking. Those with
a history of a breathing condition should get
fresh air promptly
The knee air bags help to cushion the impact
force on the knees of the driver and front
passenger. They can help reduce serious inju-
ries. However, an inflating knee air bag maycause abrasions or other injuries. The knee air
bag provides restraint to the lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order to help
protect the occupants. Because of this, the
force of the knee air bag inflating can increase
the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to,
or is against, this air bag module during infla-
tion. The knee air bag will deflate quickly after
the collision is over OR the knee air bag will
remain inflated for a short time.
The knee air bags operate only when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. After placing
the ignition switch in the ON position, the
supplemental air bag warning light illuminates.
The supplemental air bag warning light will turn
off a few seconds after the engine starts if the
system is operational.
WARNING
•Do not place any objects between the knee
bolster and the driver’s seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if a knee air bag inflates.
•Right after inflation, the knee air bag sys-
tem components will be hot. Do not touch
them; you may severely burn yourself.
•No unauthorized changes should be made
to any components or wiring of the knee air

ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM
(LED HEADLIGHT ONLY) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System is a system
that adjusts the headlights automatically to suit
the prevailing driving and weather conditions. It
offers advanced functions for improved illumi-
nation of the road surface, e.g. depending on
the vehicle speed or weather conditions. The
system includes the active light function, cor-
nering light function and freeway mode. The
system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the “Adaptive
Front Lighting System” function using the ve-
hicle information display (see Switching the
Adaptive Front Lighting System on/off earlier in

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (LED HEADLIGHT
ONLY)
You can use this function to set the headlights
to change between low beam and high beam
automatically. The system recognizes vehicles
with their lights on, either approaching from the
opposite direction or traveling in front of your
vehicle, and consequently switches the head-
lights from high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low beam
headlight range depending on the distance to
the other vehicle. Once the system no longer
detects any other vehicles, it switches on the
high beam headlights again.
The system’s optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control panel.
WARNING
•The high beam assist system is a conve-
nience but is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing operation. The driver should remain
alert at all times, ensure safe driving prac-
tices and switch the high beams and low
beam manually when necessary.
•The high beam or low beam may not switch
automatically under the following condi-
tions. Switch the high beam and low beam
manually.– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
wind, etc.).
– When a light source similar to a head-
light or tail light is in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle are turned
off, when the color of the light is affected
due to foreign materials on the lights, or
when the light beam is out of position.
– When there is a sudden, continuous
change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes over
rolling hills, or a road that has level dif-
ferences.
– When driving on a road with many
curves. –
When a sign or mirror-like surface is re-
flecting intense light towards the front of
the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being towed by
a leading vehicle is reflecting intense
light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle is dam-
aged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an angle
due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc.
•The timing of switching the low beam and
high beam may change under the following
situations.
– The brightness of the headlights of the
oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle.
– The movement and direction of the on-
coming vehicle and the leading vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle is illumi-
nated.
– When the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle.
– Road conditions (incline, curve, the road
surface, etc.).
– The number of passengers and the
amount of luggage.
•High beam Assist does not recognize road
users:
– Who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians.
