cated below the driver side instrument
panel. The hood will spring up slightly.
2. Push the lever
2at the front of the
hood to the side with your fingertips and
raise the hood.
When closing the hood, lower it slowly and
make sure it locks into place.
WARNING
∙ Make sure the hood is completely closed and latched before driving. Failure to do
so could cause the hood to fly open and
result in an accident.
∙ If you see steam or smoke coming from the engine compartment, to avoid injury
do not open the hood.
WARNING
∙ Always be sure the liftgate has beenclosed securely to prevent it from open-
ing while driving.
∙ Do not drive with the liftgate open. This could allow dangerous exhaust gases to
be drawn into the vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “Exhaust gas (car-
bon monoxide)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave children,
people who require the assistance of oth-
ers or pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people and
pets.
∙ Always be sure that hands and feet are clear of the door frame to avoid injury
while closing the liftgate.

∙ 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.

WARNING
∙ The distance guide lines and the vehiclewidth lines should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The apparent distance viewed
on the monitor may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle and
displayed objects.
∙ Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-eye view as a reference. The lines and the
bird’s-eye view are greatly affected by
the number of occupants, cargo, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condition and
road grade.
∙ If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines and
the bird’s-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly. ∙ When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than
they appear. When driving the vehicle
down a hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are closer than they appear.
∙ Objects in the rear view will appear visu- ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the monitor and outside mirrors.
∙ Use the mirrors or actually look to prop- erly judge distances to other objects.
∙ On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.
∙ The vehicle width and predicted course lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
∙ The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle. Front and rear view
