warning INFINITI QX55 2023 Owners Manual

WARNING
• Always be sure the liftgate has been
closed securely to prevent it from open-
ing while driving.
• Do not drive with the liftgate open. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to
be drawn into the vehicle. For additional
information, see “Exhaust gas (carbon
monoxide)” (P. 5-4).
• To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
• Always be sure that hands and feet are
clear of the door frame to avoid injury
while closing the liftgate.CAUTION
Do not use accessory carriers that attach
to the liftgate. Doing so will cause damage

Power Close:
The power liftgate automatically moves from
the fully open position to the secondary po-
sition. When the liftgate reaches the second-
ary position, the cinching motor engages and
pulls the liftgate to its primary latch position.
Power close takes approximately 7 to 10
seconds. The power close feature can be ac-
tivated by the switch on the Intelligent Key,
the instrument panel, the liftgate close switch
OBand the liftgate lock switchOC. A chime
sounds to indicate the power close sequence
has been started. • If the liftgate opener switch
OAis activated
while the cinching motor is engaged, the
cinching motor will disengage and release
the latch and the liftgate will open.
• The Intelligent Key button must be held for 1 second before the liftgate closes.
• The liftgate close switch
OBcan only be
used to close the liftgate if the power lift-
gate main switch is in the ON position.
• If the liftgate lock switch
OCis activated the
liftgate will begin to close and all doors will
lock.
Stop - Reverse:
During the open/close movement, the lift-
gate can be stopped if the Intelligent Key,
instrument panel or liftgate opener switch
OA, liftgate close switchOBor liftgate lock
switch
OCis pushed. The liftgate can be re-
versed if the Intelligent Key, instrument panel,
liftgate opener switch
OAor liftgate lock
switch
OCis pushed again.
Auto Reverse:
If an obstacle is detected during power open
or power close, a warning chime will sound
and the liftgate will reverse direction and re-
turn to the full open or full close position. If a
second obstacle is detected, the liftgate mo-
tion will stop and the liftgate will enter
manual mode. A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the
liftgate. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch
strip during power close, the liftgate will re-
verse direction and return to the full open
position.
NOTE:
If the pinch strip is damaged or removed, the
power close function will not operate.
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 liftgate.

injured if it is misused or mishandled. Al-
ways stop the engine and do not smoke
or allow open flames or sparks near the

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-29

•Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can
result in a serious malfunction and pos-
sible injury. It could also cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to
come on.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.
• Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can
cause an explosion of flammable liquid,
vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with
the container while you are filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
• Do not use a fuel containing more than
15% ethanol in your vehicle. For addi-
tional information, see “Fuel recommen-
dation” (P. 10-3).
• The Loose Fuel Cap warning message
will be displayed if the fuel-filler cap is
not properly tightened. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be dis-
played. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler
cap properly after the Loose Fuel Cap
warning is displayed may cause the Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate.
• Tighten until the fuel filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate.
If the
light illuminates because the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to drive
the vehicle. The
light should turn off
after a few driving trips. If thelight
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. •
For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)”
