steering INFINITI QX50 2023 Owner's Guide

1. Adjust the driver's seat, steering column(if so equipped), and outside mirrors to the
desired positions by manually operating
each adjusting switch. For additional in-
formation, see “Seats” (P. 1-2), “Steering
wheel” (P. 3-31) and “Outside mirrors”
(P. 3-35).
2. Push the SET switch and, within 5 sec- onds, push the memory switch (1 or 2).
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for ap-
proximately 5 seconds.
The chime will sound when the memory is
stored.
NOTE:
If a new memory position is stored in the
same memory switch, the previous memory
position will be overwritten by the new
stored position.
Confirming memory storage
• Push the SET switch.
• If a memory position has been stored in the switch (1 or 2) then the indicator light for
the respective switch will stay on for ap-
proximately 5 seconds.
Linking log-in function to a stored
memory position
The log-in function can be linked to a stored
memory position with the following
procedure.
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion while carrying the Intelligent Key that
was registered to the vehicle with a log-in
function.
NOTE:Make sure the Intelligent Keys are far apart.
Otherwise, the vehicle may detect the
wrong Intelligent Key.
2. Adjust the position of the driver’s seat, steering column (if so equipped) and out-
side mirrors. For additional information,
see “Seats” (P. 1-2), “Steering wheel”
(P. 3-31) and “Outside mirrors” (P. 3-35).
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
The next time you log in (selecting the user on
the display) after placing the ignition switch in
the ON position while carrying the Intelligent
Key, the system will automatically adjust to
the memorized driving position. For additional information, see “Log-in func-
tion” (P. 3-18) and the separate INFINITI In-
Touch™ Owner’s Manual.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver's
seat and steering column (if so equipped) will
automatically move when the vehicle is en-
gaged in the P (Park) position. This allows the
driver to easily get in and out of the driver’s
seat.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering column (if so equipped) will move up
when the ignition is switched to OFF and the
driver’s door is opened.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will re-
turn to the previous position when the igni-
tion is switched to ON.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through the “Comfort & Conve-
nience” options of the “Settings” menu in the
lower touch-screen display by performing the
following:
• Switch the Lift Steering upon Exit from ON
to OFF.
• Switch the Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit from ON to OFF.
