It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
Engine Malfunction Service now
This warning appears when there is a prob-
lem with the engine. If this warning comes on,
have the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
Engine Stalled: Stop safely
This message appears 30 seconds before the
vehicle is shut down due to an above normal
operating exhaust temperature. The Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) and malfunc-
tion warning (red) will illuminate. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer immediately for this
service.
Service CVT (AT) Power reduced
This transmission has a high fluid tempera-
ture protection mode. If the fluid temperature
becomes too high (for example, climbing
steep grades in high temperatures with heavyloads, such as when towing a trailer), engine
power and, under some conditions, vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to re-
duce the chance of transmission damage.
Vehicle speed can be controlled with the ac-
celerator pedal, but the engine and vehicle
speed may be reduced.
WARNING
When the high fluid temperature protec-
tion mode operation occurs, vehicle speed
may be gradually reduced. The reduced
speed may be lower than other traffic,
which could increase the chance of a colli-
sion. Be especially careful when driving. If
necessary, pull to the side of the road at a
safe place and allow the transmission to
return to normal operation; or have it re-
paired if necessary.
Blind Spot Warning (BSW)

blink until you either cancel cruise control or
go back to the set speed. If cruise control is on
and canceled, the speed will be displayed to
show the speed the vehicle will return to if the
resume button is activated.

The Steering Assist switch is used to turn on
and off the Steering Assist system that is
activated using the settings menu of the ve-
hicle information display.

• The front sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
driving.
• The rear sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and check that it is safe
to do so before backing up. Always back
up slowly. The front sonar system:
• is active when the ignition switch is in the
ON position and the shift lever is in a for-
ward gear position.
• a beeping tone is emitted when the sensors detect obstacles within 3 ft (1.0 m) of the
front bumper.
The rear sonar system:
• is active when the ignition is in the ON position and the shift lever is in R (Reverse).
• a beeping tone is emitted when the sensors detect obstacles within 4.9 ft (1.5 m) of the
rear bumper.
The front and rear sonar system may be en-
abled by pushing the front and rear sonar
switch. Push the switch again to disable the
system.
The system will automatically reset the next
time the ignition switch is turned on.

• Do not place reflective materials, such aswhite paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the LDP system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The LDP system will not steer the vehicle
or prevent loss of control. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all
times. •
The LDP system is primarily intended for
use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways. It may not detect the lane markers
in certain road, weather, or driving
conditions.
The LDP system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately 37
mph (60 km/h) and above, and only when the
lane markings are clearly visible on the road.
The LDP system warns the driver with a
warning indicator in the vehicle information
display, the steering wheel will vibrate and
helps assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane by applying
the brakes to the left or right wheels individu-
ally (for a short period of time).
The LDP system monitors the lane markers
on the traveling lane using the camera unit
O1
located above the inside mirror.

4. ProPILOT Assist switchThe LDP system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h). When the vehicle
approaches either the left or the right side of
the traveling lane, the steering wheel will vi-
brate and the LDP indicator (orange) on the
instrument panel will blink to alert the driver.
Then, the LDP system will automatically
apply the brakes for a short period of time to
help assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane.
To turn on the LDP system, push the Pro-
PILOT Assist switch on the steering wheel
after starting the engine. The LDP ON indi-
cator on the instrument panel will illuminate.
Push the ProPILOT Assist switch on the
steering wheel again to turn off the LDP
system. The LDP ON indicator will turn off.
