FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down
hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The low fuel warning comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low. Refill the fuel tank once the Low Fuel
warning indicator in the vehicle information
display illuminates as indicated by
Low
Fuel.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the driver's side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
• If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible. Af-
ter a few driving trips. the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
• For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)”
(P. 2-15).
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the vehicle
can be driven before refueling. The value is
calculated based on recent fuel economy, the
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank, and
the actual fuel consumption. Changes in driving patterns or conditions can
cause the DTE value to vary. As a result, the
value displayed may differ from the actual
distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the fuel
level in the tank is getting low, prior to the fuel
gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE:
• The DTE value after refill is estimated
based on recent fuel economy and amount
of fuel added.
• If a small amount of fuel is added, or the ignition is on during refueling, the display
may not be updated.
• Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated DTE value
(city/highway driving, idle time, remote
start time, terrain, seasonal weather,
added vehicle weight, added deflectors,
roof racks, etc.).

•Make sure to engage the P (Park) posi-
tion and apply the parking brake when
parking your vehicle, riding on or off the
vehicle or loading luggage. Failure to do
so could cause the vehicle to move or roll
away unexpectedly and result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote control function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or
conditions may affect the Intelligent Key sys-
tem operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
• Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
• Never leave the Intelligent Key in the ve-
hicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.
The Intelligent Key system transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with the operation of the Intelligent
Key system under the following operating
conditions:
• When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted, such as
a TV tower, power station and broadcast-
ing station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular telephone, transceiver or
a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key function
or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the bat-
tery’s life is approximately two years. If the
battery is discharged, replace it with a new
one. When the Intelligent Key battery is low, a
“Key Battery Low” indicator appears in the
vehicle information display. For additional in-
formation, see “Vehicle information display
warnings and indicators” (P. 2-25).
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.
For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-22).
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occurrences
which will damage the Intelligent Key:
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which
contains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water.
This could affect the system function.
• Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
• Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
