ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver dif-
ferently from an ordinary passenger car be-
cause it has a higher center of gravity for
off-road use. As with other vehicles with
features of this type, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of con-
trol or an accident.
For additional information, see “On- pave-
ment and off-road driving precautions”
(P. 5-8), “Avoiding collision and roll- over”
(P. 5-9) and “Driving safety precautions”
(P. 5-10).
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Modi-
fication could affect its performance,
safety, emissions or durability and may
even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance problems
resulting from modifications may not be

WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diag-
nostic (OBD) plug-in device that uses the
port during normal driving, for example re-
mote insurance company monitoring, re-
mote vehicle diagnostics, telematics or en-
gine reprogramming, may cause
interference or damage to vehicle systems.
We do not recommend or endorse the use
of any aftermarket OBD plug-in devices,
unless specifically approved by INFINITI.

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 the 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
and pelvic area of the front and rear outboard
occupants. Curtain air bags help to cushion
the impact force to the head of occupants in
the front and rear outboard seating positions.
They can help save lives and reduce seriousinjuries. However, an inflating side air bag
and curtain air bag may cause abrasions or
other injuries. Side air bags and curtain air
bags do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and
the driver, front passenger and rear outboard
occupants seated upright as far as practical
away from the side air bag. Rear seat passen-
gers should be seated as far away as practi-
cal from the door finishers and side roof rails.
The side air bags and curtain air bags inflate
quickly in order to help protect the occupants.
Because of this, the force of the side air bag
and curtain air bag inflating can increase the
risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or
is against, these air bag modules during infla-
tion. The side air bag will deflate quickly after
the collision is over.
The curtain air bag will remain inflated for a
short time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags oper-
ate only when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.WARNING
• Do not place any objects near the seat-
back of the front and rear seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella, bag,
etc.) between the front and rear door
finisher and the front and rear seat. Such
objects may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if a side air bag
inflate.
• Right after inflation, several side air bag
and curtain air bag system components
will be hot. Do not touch them; you may
severely burn yourself.
• No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
side air bag and curtain air bag systems.
This is to prevent damage to or acciden-
tal inflation of the side air bag and cur-
tain air bag or damage to the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems.
• Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle's electrical system, suspen-
sion system or side panel. This could af-
fect proper operation of the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems.

When the knee air bag inflates, a fairly loud
noise may be heard, followed 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.
The knee air bag helps to cushion the impact
force on the knees of the driver and passen-
ger. It can help reduce serious injuries. How-
ever, an inflating knee air bag may cause
abrasions or other injuries. The knee air bag
provides restraint to the lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order to
help protect the occupants. Because of this,
the force of the knee air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is
too close to, or is against, this air bag module
during inflation. The knee air bag will deflate
quickly after the collision is over OR the knee
air bag will remain inflated for a short time.
The knee air bag operates only when the ig-
nition switch is placed in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.WARNING
• Do not place any objects between the
knee bolster and the driver’s or passen-
ger’s seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if
a knee air bag inflates.
• Right after inflation, the knee air bag
system components will be hot. Do not
touch them; you may severely burn
yourself.
• No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
knee air bag system. This is to prevent
damage to or accidental inflation of the
knee air bag system.
• Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle's electrical system or sus-
pension system. This could affect proper
operation of the knee air bag system.
• Tampering with the knee air bag system
may result in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the driver knee
bolster or install additional trim material
around the knee air bag. •
It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the knee air bag. It is also recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for in-
stallation of electrical equipment. The
SRS wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the knee
air bag system.
*The SRS wiring harness or connectors are
yellow or orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the knee air bag
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this manual.

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down
hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The low fuel warning comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low. Refill the fuel tank once the Low Fuel
warning indicator in the vehicle information
display illuminates as indicated by
Low
Fuel.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the driver's side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
• If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible. Af-
ter a few driving trips. the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
• For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)”
(P. 2-15).
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the vehicle
can be driven before refueling. The value is
calculated based on recent fuel economy, the
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank, and
the actual fuel consumption.
Changes in driving patterns or conditions can
cause the DTE value to vary. As a result, the
value displayed may differ from the actual
distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the fuel
level in the tank is getting low, prior to the fuel
gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE:
• The DTE value after refill is estimated based on recent fuel economy and amount
of fuel added.
• If a small amount of fuel is added, or the ignition is on during refueling, the display
may not be updated.
• Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated DTE value
(city/highway driving, idle time, remote
start time, terrain, seasonal weather,
added vehicle weight, added deflectors,
roof racks, etc.).
