roof rack INFINITI QX50 2019 Owner's Manual

∙ It is recommended that you visit anINFINITI retailer for work on and around
the front air bag. It is also recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for in-
stallation of electrical equipment. The
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
wiring harnesses* should not be modified
or disconnected. Unauthorized electrical
test equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the air bag system.
∙ A cracked windshield should be replaced immediately by a qualified repair facility.
A cracked windshield could affect the
function of the supplemental air bag
system.
*The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the front air bag
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag and roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag
systems
The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain
air bags are located in the side roof rails in
both rows. All of the information, cautions
and warnings in this manual apply and must
be followed. The side air bags and curtain air
bags are designed to inflate in higher severity
side collisions, although they may inflate if
the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity impact.
They are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted. They may not
inflate in certain side collisions.
Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments (for example, during severe off-
roading) may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain
air bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, fol-
lowed 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.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
of the front occupants. Curtain air bags help
to cushion the impact force to the head of
occupants in the front and rear outboard
seating positions in all rows. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. How-
ever, an inflating side air bag or curtain air

Your vehicle has two types of security sys-
tems:∙ Vehicle security system
∙ INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, liftgate or hood when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs. The system helps deter vehicle theft but can-
not prevent it nor can it prevent the theft of
interior or exterior vehicle components in all
situations. Always secure your vehicle even if
parking for a brief period. Never leave your
Intelligent Key in the vehicle, and always lock
the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of
your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit
areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification
markers, and tracking systems, are available
at auto supply stores and specialty shops. An
INFINITI retailer may also offer such equip-
ment. Check with your insurance company to
see if you may be eligible for discounts for
various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows and the moonroof.
The system can be armed even if the
windows and moonroof are open.
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the ve- hicle.
3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch or power door lock switch. Key fob operation:
4. Confirm that the
indicator light
comes on. The
indicator stays illu-
minated for a period of time indicating
that the system is in the pre-armed
phase.
The
indicator light will blink every
3 seconds once the security system is
armed.
If during the pre-armed phase one of the
following occurs, the system will not
arm:
∙ Any door is unlocked with the me- chanical key
∙ A door is opened with the release but- ton with the Intelligent Key on your
person
∙ The doors are unlocked using the un- lock button on the Intelligent Key
∙ The ignition switch is placed in the ON position

COAT HOOKS
The coat hooks, located on the side pillars of
the 2nd row, may be used to store coats and
other articles of clothing.
CAUTION
Do not apply a total load of more than
7.3 lbs. (3.3 kg) to a single coat hook.
ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars must be installed before ap-
plying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the
vehicle. Genuine NISSAN accessory cross
bars are available through an INFINITI re-
tailer. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 165 lbs. (74 kg), however do not ex-
ceed the accessory cross bars load capacity.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR frontand 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 regarding GVWR and
GAWR, refer to “Vehicle loading information”
in the “Technical and consumer information”
section of this manual.
WARNING
∙ Always install the cross bars 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 vehicle damage.
∙ Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying ca-
pacity, especially if the significant por-
tion of that load is carried on the cross
bars.
∙ Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
∙ Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed.
∙ Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bars load capacity.
LIC3943LIC2386
Instruments and controls2-61

∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes orstraps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, un-
secured cargo could cause personal
injury.
Installing crossbars (if so equipped)
WARNING
∙ It is recommended that you have the roofrack crossbars installed by an INFINITI
retailer.
∙ Make sure the moonroof is in the closed position during the installation process.
∙ Protect the painted area on the vehicle’s roof under the crossbars by placing a
piece of cloth under the cross bars to pre-
vent scratch damage.
∙ Do not load the crossbars more than the rated load capacity and always distribute
the load uniformly.
The roof rack crossbars may be installed or
removed. Use the TORX® provided wrench in
the tool kit to install and remove the cross-
bars. The TORX® wrench will be in the glove
box. 1. Manually remove the protective covers
from the roof rails.
2. Using a quarter, rotate the key-slot coun-
terclockwise to remove the plastic cover.
