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.).

REMOTE ENGINE START
OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
• 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. •
Do not use Remote Engine Start in closed
spaces such as a garage. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.
CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating lo-
cation, the Intelligent Key operating range
becomes narrower, and the Intelligent Key
may not function properly.
The Remote Engine Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
The Remote Engine Start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.

• The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.
• The engine will continue to run for 10 min- utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time
for an additional 10 minutes. For additional
information, see “Extending engine run
time” (P. 3-20).

performed.
• The second 10 minutes will start immedi- ately when the Remote Engine Start func-
tion is performed again. For example, if the
engine has been running for 5 minutes, and
10 minutes are added, the engine will run
for a total of 15 minutes.
• Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts, or
a single start with an extension, are allowed
between ignition cycles.

proximately 32°F (0°C) to defog the wind-
shield. The air recirculate mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to further
improve the defogging performance.
Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control (if so
equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate
controls and Remote Engine Start function
may go into automatic heating or cooling
mode when Remote Engine Start is activated
depending on outside and cabin tempera-
tures. During this period, the climate control
