ESP INFINITI QX50 2020 User Guide

∙ Heavy loading of the crossbars has thepotential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, un-
secured cargo could cause personal
injury.
∙ 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
crossbars.
CAUTION
∙ Use care when placing or removing itemsfrom the roof rack. If you cannot com-
fortably lift the items onto the roof rack
from the ground, use a ladder or a stool.
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails
A. CrossbarsBmust be installed be-
fore applying load/cargo/luggage to the
roof of the vehicle.
INFINITI accessory crossbars may be avail-
able through an INFINITI retailer. It is recom-
mended 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 crossbars load capacity.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front
and rear).
For additional information regarding GVWR
and GAWR, refer to:
∙ F.M.V.S.S. or C.M.V.S.S. certification la- bel (located on the driver’s door pillar).
Installing crossbars (if so equipped)
WARNING
∙ It is recommended that you have the roofrack crossbars installed by an INFINITI
retailer.
∙ Make sure the moonroof (if so equipped) is in the closed position during the instal-
lation 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 provided wrench in the tool
kit to install and remove the crossbars. The
wrench will be in the glove box.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-17

∙ 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 system. An incorrect cap can re-
sult in a serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the
Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to come
on.
∙ 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 filling.
– 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 a fuel containing more than15% ethanol in your vehicle. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Fuel recom-
mendation” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this
manual.
∙ The Loose Fuel Cap warning message will be displayed if the fuel-filler cap is not
properly tightened. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be dis-
played. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler
cap properly after the Loose Fuel Cap
warning is displayed may cause the Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate.
∙ Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop- erly may cause the
Malfunction In-
dicator Light (MIL) to illuminate. If
the
light illuminates because the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to drive
the vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. ∙ For additional information, refer to
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.
∙ If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
NOTE:
Changing ignition switch status during the
refueling process may cause a delay in fuel
gauge response.
