If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, please
take the following precautions as the usage
of such fuels may cause vehicle performance
problems and/or fuel system damage.
•The fuel should be unleaded and have an
octane rating no lower than that recom-
mended for unleaded gasoline.
• If an oxygenate-blend other than metha-
nol blend is used, it should contain no more
than 15% oxygenate.
• If a methanol blend is used, it should con-
tain no more than 5% methanol (methyl
alcohol, wood alcohol). It should also con-
tain a suitable amount of appropriate co-
solvents and corrosion inhibitors. If not
properly formulated with appropriate co-
solvents and corrosion inhibitors, such
methanol blends may cause fuel system
damage and/or vehicle performance prob-
lems. At this time, sufficient data is not
available to ensure that all methanol
blends are suitable for use in INFINITI
vehicles.
If any driveability problems such as engine
stalling and difficult hot-starting are experi-
enced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, im-
mediately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or
a fuel with a low blend of MTBE. Take care not to spill gasoline during refuel-
ing. Gasoline containing oxygenates can
cause paint damage.
E–15 fuel
E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately 15%
fuel ethanol and 85% unleaded gasoline.
E-15 can only be used in vehicles designed to
run on E-15 fuel. U.S. government regula-
tions require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps
to be identified with small, square, orange
and black label with the common abbrevia-
tion or the appropriate percentage for that
region.
E–85 fuel
E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85%
fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
E-85 can only be used in a Flexible Fuel Ve-
hicle (FFV). Do not use E-85 in your vehicle.
U.S. government regulations require fuel
ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified by
a small, square, orange and black label with
the common abbreviation or the appropriate
percentage for that region.
Fuel containing MMT
MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting additive.
INFINITI does not recommend the use of fuel
containing MMT. Such fuel may adversely
affect vehicle performance, including the
emissions control system. Note that while
some fuel pumps label MMT content, not all
do, so you may have to consult your gasoline
retailer for more details.
Aftermarket fuel additives
INFINITI does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel
injector cleaner, octane booster, intake valve
deposit removers, etc.) which are sold com-
mercially. Many of these additives intended
for gum, varnish or deposit removal may con-
tain active solvents or similar ingredients that
can be harmful to the fuel system and engine.
Technical and consumer information10-5

If a powertrain system component is repaired
or the battery is disconnected, the vehicle
may be reset to a “not ready” condition. Be-
fore taking the I/M test, check the vehicle's
inspection/maintenance test readiness con-
dition. Place the ignition switch in the ON
position without starting the engine. If the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) comes on
steady for 20 seconds and then blinks for 10
seconds , the I/M test condition is “not
ready”. If the MIL does not blink after 20
seconds, the I/M test condition is “ready”. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer to set the “ready condition” or to pre-
pare the vehicle for testing.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 sys-
tems 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; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-
trivial crash situation occurs; no data are re-
corded by the EDR under normal driving con-
ditions and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, 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
equipment is required, and access to the ve-
hicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer and INFINITI retailer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can read the in-
formation if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.
EDR data will only be accessed with the con-
sent of the vehicle owner or lessee or as
otherwise required or permitted by law.
ADDITIONAL DATA RECORDING
(on vehicles equipped with optional
ProPILOT Assist)
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional
ProPILOT Assist, it will also be equipped with
a supplemental vehicle data recording
function.
The data recording function is designed to
record such data as:
• Driver operational status of accelerator,
brakes, steering, etc.
• Detection status of a vehicle ahead and lane markers
• Vehicle information including distance to vehicle ahead and lateral position
EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR)
Technical and consumer information10-33

• Information on the operation of the ProPI-LOT Assist and other crash avoidance
features
• ProPILOT Assist malfunction diagnosis information
• External images from multi-sensing front camera (Available only when SRS air bag or
FEB with Pedestrian Detection system is
activated)
ProPILOT Assist does not record conversa-
tions, sounds or images of the inside of the
vehicle.
To read this vehicle data, special equipment is
required and access to the vehicle or the re-
cording unit is needed. This vehicle data will
only be accessed with the consent of the
vehicle owner or lessee or as otherwise re-
quired or permitted by law.
If downloaded, NISSAN may use the data
recorded for the purpose of improving
NISSAN's vehicle safety performance.
NISSAN will not disclose/provide the re-
corded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee • In response to an official request from law
enforcement, a court order, governmental
agency, or other legally enforceable
requests
• For use as part of NISSAN's defense of litigation
• For research purposes after the data is modified such that it is no longer tied to a
specific vehicle or vehicle owner
If you have any questions regarding the data
NISSAN may collect about you, please visit our
