INFINITI QX30 2017 Owners Manual

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
•Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened.
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
•Sounds are not recorded.
This data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required and access to the vehicle or
the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer and INFINITI retailer, other par-
ties, such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR
data will only be accessed with the consent of
the vehicle owner or lessee or as otherwise
required or permitted by law.Genuine INFINITI Service Manuals for this model
year and prior can be purchased. A Genuine
INFINITI Service Manual is the best source of
service and repair information for your vehicle.
This manual is the same one used by the factory
trained technicians working at INFINITI retailers.
Genuine INFINITI Owner’s Manuals can also be
purchased.

FUEL INFORMATION
Gasoline engine
CAUTION
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded
gasoline will damage the three-way catalyst.
2.0L gasoline engine model
:
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
number (Research octane number 95).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating
of at least 89 AKI number (Research octane
number 93) may be temporarily used, but only
under the following precautions:
•Have the fuel tank filled only partially with
unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with
unleaded premium gasoline as soon as pos-
sible.
•Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt accel-
eration.
Use unleaded premium gasoline for maximum
vehicle performance.
CAUTION
•Using a fuel other than that specified could
adversely affect the emission control sys-
tem, and may also affect warranty coverage.
•Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, because this will damage
the three-way catalyst.
•Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-15 or
E-85 fuel. Using E-15 or E- 85 fuel in a vehicle
not specifically designed for E-15 or E-85
fuel can adversely affect the emission con-
trol devices and systems of the vehicle.
Damage caused by such fuel is not covered
by the INFINITI new vehicle limited war-
ranty.
•U.S. government regulations require etha-
nol dispensing pumps to be identified by a
small, square, orange and black label with
the common abbreviation or the appropri-
ate percentage for that region.
