steering INFINITI QX30 2017 Owner's Guide

Active light function
The active light function is a system that moves
the headlights according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This helps you to recognize pedestrians, cy-
clists and animals. It is active when the lights
are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the low-beam headlights are
switched on. It is active if you are driving at
speeds below 25 MPH (40 km/h) and switch on
the turn signal or turn the steering wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
short time, but is automatically switched off
after no longer than three minutes.
Freeway mode
Freeway mode adjusts the light beam to reduce
the amount of light that shines on the opposite
lane of the freeway, and oncoming traffic.
Freeway mode is active if you are driving at a
speed above 68 MPH (110 km/h) and do not
make any large steering movements for at least
3300 ft (1000 m) or if you are driving at a speed
above 81 MPH (130 km/h).
It is not active if you are driving at speeds below
50 MPH (80 km/h) following activation.

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.

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
System Start-Up
Due to the large number of features and capa-
bilities that the INFINITI InTouch system needs
to load on start-up, it may take up to a minute
for all functions (such as Apps) to be available.
The system will display the message indicating
that the application is loading during this time.
During the start-up period, hard button controls
for audio will become available before start-up
is complete. Features will become available in
the following order.
•Audio volume and music playback
•Audio Full Screen Access
•Full App Availability – System will display
the message indicating the completion of the
application loading process.
System Response Delay
INFINITI InTouch uses an operating system like
those found on many computers, tablets and
cell phones. Like these devices, processing
speed may vary, and system response delays or
resets may occur intermittently. This does not
indicate a malfunction, and further information
on system operation can be found below.In most situations, simply waiting a few mo-
ments longer should be sufficient for the pend-
ing operations to complete.
If the system temporarily does not respond to
commands, the system can be easily reset.
Simply push down the Audio Power knob for at
least 5 seconds. The system will turn off and
restart.
After restart, all functions should be available.
•Audio will resume, but if you were using
Bluetooth® Audio or an Audio App, the
connection may need to be re-established.
•If a navigation route was set, the route
should resume automatically (models with
navigation system).
•If a phone call was in progress, the call may
be temporarily transferred back to the hand-
set.
System Reset
As noted above, intermittent system resets may
occur during normal operation. You may also
wish to reset the system if you find that a
particular feature is not loading or responding.
Often, a quick system reset will resolve any
issue you may be experiencing. After restart, all
functions will be available as described above.System Updates
Like many digital devices, the INFINITI InTouch
system is designed to allow for software up-
dates as enhancements are developed and ad-
ditional features added. If you have questions
about system performance, it is recommended
you contact your INFINITI retailer to ensure that
your vehicle has had the latest available soft-
ware installed.
Operating Tips
INFINITI InTouch provides several methods of
operation to suit your preferences. The follow-
ing are suggested operating tips.
•Operating the INFINITI Controller, Steering
Wheel Controls, or other controls too quickly
can cause a lag between the control and the
display. Operate the controls carefully and
allow the system to respond to your request.
•INFINITI recommends using Voice Recogni-
tion whenever possible to select options
while driving. Some touch screen functional-
ity is intentionally unavailable during driving.
Please view the available voice commands by
pushing<
>on the steering wheel and
then selecting a category on the display.

Predicted course lines6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of
the predicted course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED AND
ACTUAL DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations on
the ground are for approximate reference only.
Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or pro-
jecting objects will be actually located at dis-
tances different from those displayed in the
monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to illus-
trations). When in doubt, turn around and view
the objects as you are backing up, or park and
exit the vehicle to view the positioning of
objects behind the vehicle.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
viewed in the monitor farther than it appears.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
viewed in the monitor closer than it appears.

object in the display. However, the vehicle may
hit the object if it projects over the actual
moving course.
Backing up behind a projecting
object

tion

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
•If the tires are replaced with different sized
tires, the predicted course line may not be
displayed correctly.
•On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predicted
course line and the actual course line.
•The displayed lines will appear slightly off
to the right because the rear view camera is
not installed in the rear center of the ve-
hicle.
•If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predicted course lines may
be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs,
please perform the following procedures:
–Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock
while the engine is running.
–Drive the vehicle on a straight road for
more than 5 minutes.
