warning INFINITI QX30 2017 Owners Manual

Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars (if so equipped) must be
installed before applying load/cargo/luggage
to the roof of the vehicle.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). The
GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S.
or C.V. M.S.S. certification label (located on the
driver’s door pillar). For additional information,
refer toVehicle loading informationin the10.
Technical informationsection.
WARNING
•Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying capac-
ity, especially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the roof rack.
•Heavy loading of the roof rack has the po-
tential to affect the vehicle stability and
handling during sudden or unusual han-
dling maneuvers.
•Roof rack load should be evenly distrib-
uted.
•Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Always install the cross bars (if so equipped)
onto the roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto the roof
side rails or the vehicle’s roof may cause ve-
hicle damage.

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, inte-
grated in the vehicle’s inside rear view mirror,
provides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
•Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
•Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all program-
ming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmitter for
future programming procedures (Example: new
vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
buttons should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer toProgram-
ming HomeLink®later in this section.
WARNING
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks safety stop and reverse features as
required by federal safety standards.
(These standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.
•During the programming procedure your
garage door or security gate will open and
close (if the transmitter is within range).
Make sure that people or objects are clear of
the garage door, gate, etc. that you are pro-
gramming.
•Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off
while programming the HomeLink® Univer-
sal Transceiver.NOTE
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener. If you
have difficulty programing the integrated ga-
rage door opener, it is recommended you contact
your INFINITI retailer.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® buttons,
refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.

FUEL-FILLER CAP
Turn the fuel-filler cap counterclockwise to re-
move. To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a
single click is heard.
Put the fuel-filler cap on the cap holder
2while refueling.
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 the
engine and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle when re-
fueling.
•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.
•Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt 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 fill-
ing.
–Keep the pump nozzle in contact with
the container while you are filling it.
–Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
•Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your vehicle.
For additional information, refer toFuel
Recommendationin theTechnical and
consumer informationsection of this
manual.
•If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it
away with water to avoid paint damage.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-15

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.Release the lock lever
1as illustrated and
adjust the steering wheel to the desired posi-
tion (up or down
2, forwards or backwards
3). Firmly push the lock lever back into posi-
tion to lock the steering wheel in place.
