checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the power steering warning light
illuminates. After starting the engine, the
power steering warning light turns off. This
indicates that the electric power steering sys-
tem is operational.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate the power steering system is not func-
tioning properly and may need servicing.
Have the hydraulic pump electric power
steering system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, there will be
no power assist for the steering but you will

Malfunction Indicator Light(MIL)
If this indicator light comes on steady or blinks
while the engine is running, it may indicate a
potential emission control malfunction.
The MIL may also come on steady if the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or if the
vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure
the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least
11.4 liters (3 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:
∙ MIL on steady — An emission control sys- tem malfunction has been detected.
Check the fuel-filler cap. If 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 the
light does
not turn off after a few driving trips, have
the vehicle checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the retailer. ∙ MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been
detected which may damage the emis-
sion control system. To reduce or avoid
emission control system damage:
– do not drive at speeds above 72 km/h (45 mph).
– avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
– avoid steep uphill grades.
– if possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The check engine light may stop blinking and
come on steady. Have the vehicle checked. It
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the retailer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without hav-
ing the emission control system checked
and repaired as necessary could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel economy,
and possible damage to the emission con-
trol system.

tems:
∙ Vehicle security system
∙ INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, liftgate or hood when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs. The system helps deter vehicle theft but can-
not prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of
interior or exterior vehicle components in all
situations. Always secure your vehicle even if
parking for a brief period. Never leave your
Intelligent Key in the vehicle, and always lock
the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of
your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit
areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification
markers, and tracking systems, are available
at auto supply stores and specialty shops. An
INFINITI retailer may also offer such equip-
ment. Check with your insurance company to
see if you may be eligible for discounts for
various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows and the moonroof.
The system can be armed even if the
windows and moonroof are open.
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the ve- hicle.
3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch or power door lock switch.

∙ The ignition switch is placed in the ACC or ON position ∙
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will acti-
vate when all the doors, hood and lift-
gate are locked with the ignition switch
placed in the LOCK position. When plac-
ing the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position, the system will be released.Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the fol-
lowing alarm:
∙ The turn signals blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
∙ The alarm automatically turns off after a period of time. However, the alarm reac-
tivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by un-
locking the driver’s door or liftgate with
the key, or by pressing the
button
on the Intelligent Key.
The alarm is activated by:
∙ opening the door or liftgate without us- ing the key or Intelligent Key (even if the
door is unlocked by releasing the door
inside lock switch).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking the driver’s
door or the liftgate with the key, pressing
the
button on the Intelligent Key, or
pressing the request switch on the driver’s or
passenger’s door with the Intelligent Key in
range of the door handle.
INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will
not allow the engine to start without the use
of a registered INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System key (for
example, when interference is caused by an-
other INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
key, an automated toll road device or auto-
matic payment device on the key ring), restart
the engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po- sition for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.

WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes orstraps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
∙ Use suitable ropes and hooks to secure cargo.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a colli-
sion, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
∙ The child restraint top tether strap may be damaged by contact with items in the
cargo area. Secure any items in the cargo
area. Your child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the top tether
strap is damaged.
∙ Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars must be installed before ap-
plying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the
vehicle. Genuine NISSAN accessory cross
bars are available through an INFINITI re-
tailer. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 165 lbs. (74 kg), however do not ex-
ceed the accessory cross bars load capacity.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). For additional information regard-
ing GVWR and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle load-
ing information” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this manual.
WARNING
∙ Always install the cross bars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of any
kind. Loading cargo directly onto the
roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof may
cause vehicle damage.
∙
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying capac-
ity, especially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the cross bars.
∙ Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
∙ Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed.
∙ Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bars load capacity.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, un-
secured cargo could cause personal
injury.

CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could result in
a discharged battery. The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
∙ Will operate most radio frequency de- vices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
∙ Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the ve-
hicle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures (Ex-
ample: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” in this section.

WARNING
∙ Do not use the HomeLink® UniversalTransceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became effec-
tive for opener models manufactured
after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in
the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.
∙ During the programming procedure your garage door or security gate will open
and close (if the transmitter is within
range). Make sure that people or objects
are clear of the garage door, gate, etc.
that you are programming.
∙ Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink® Uni-
versal Transceiver. Do not breathe ex-
haust gases; they contain colorless and
odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-
oxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
NOTE:
Place the ignition switch in the ACC position
when programming HomeLink®. It is also
recommended that a new battery be placed
in the hand-held transmitter of the device
being programmed to HomeLink® for
quicker programming and accurate trans-
mission of the radio frequency. 1. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 1–3 in (2–8 cm) away from
the HomeLink® surface, keeping the
HomeLink® indicator light
1in view.
