jump start INFINITI QX50 2023 Owners Manual

Rear power window switch
The rear power window switches open or
close only the corresponding windows. To
partially open the window, push the switch
down lightly until the desired window posi-
tion is reached. To partially close the window,
pull the switch up lightly until the desired
window position is reached.
Automatic operation
To fully open a window equipped with auto-
matic operation, push the window switch
down to the second detent and release it; it
need not be held. The window automatically
opens all the way. To stop the window, lift
the switch up while the window is opening.
To fully close a window equipped with auto-
matic operation, pull the switch up to the
second detent and release it; it need not be
held. To stop the window, push the switch
down while the window is closing.
Auto-reverse function
The auto-reverse function can be activated
when a window is closed by automatic
operation.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto-reverse function may be
activated if an impact or load similar to some-
thing being caught in the window occurs.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which can-
not be detected. Make sure that all passen-
gers have their hands, etc., inside the
vehicle before closing the window.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, re-
placed, or jump started, the power window
auto-reverse function may not operate prop-
erly. If this occurs, it is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer to re-initialize the
power window auto-reverse system.
If the control unit detects something caught
in a window equipped with automatic opera-
tion as it is closing, the window will be imme-
diately lowered.

To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below must
be followed.
WARNING
• If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also dam-
age your vehicle.
• Explosive hydrogen gas is always pres-
ent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the
battery.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corro-
sive sulfuric acid solution which can
cause severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything, imme-
diately flush the contacted area with
water.
• Keep battery out of the reach of children.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an improperly rated battery
can damage your vehicle. •
Whenever working on or near a battery,
always wear suitable eye protectors (for
example, goggles or industrial safety
spectacles) and remove rings, metal
bands, or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause seri-
ous injury.
• Your vehicle has an automatic engine
cooling fan. It could come on at any time.
Keep hands and other objects away from
it.

In case of emergency6-5

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below. Fail-
ure to do so could result in damage to the
charging system and cause personal injury.
1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, position the two vehicles to bring their
batteries near each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake. Push the park button to shift to the P (Park) position.
Switch off all unnecessary electrical sys-
tems (lights, heater, air conditioner, etc.). 3. Place the ignition switch to the LOCK or
OFF position.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the se- quence illustrated (
OA,OB,OC,OD).
CAUTION
• Always connect positive (+) to positive
(+) and negative (−) to body ground (for
example, strut mounting bolt, engine lift
bracket, etc.) — not to the battery.
• Make sure the jumper cables do not
touch moving parts in the engine com-
partment and that the cable clamps do
not contact any other metal. 5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and
let it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster ve- hicle at about 2,000 rpm and start the
engine of the vehicle being jump started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait 3 to 4
seconds before trying again.
7. After starting the engine, carefully discon- nect the negative cable and then the posi-
tive cable.

JUMP STARTING
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump start-
ing” (P. 6-5). If the engine does not start by
jump starting, the battery may have to be
replaced. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
CAUTION
• Do not ground accessories directly to the
battery terminal. Doing so will bypass
the variable voltage control system and
the vehicle battery may not charge
completely.
• Use electrical accessories with the en-
gine running to avoid discharging the ve-
hicle battery.
NOTE:
If the battery is completely drained the
transmission will not manually shift to other
positions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a variable volt-
age control system. This system measures
the amount of electrical discharge from the
battery and controls voltage generated by
the generator.
The current sensor
OAis located near the
battery along the negative battery cable. If
you add electrical accessories to your vehicle,
be sure to ground them to a suitable body
ground such as the frame or engine block
area.
