ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-
ROAD DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver
differently from an ordinary passenger car
because it has a higher center of gravity
for off-road use. As with other vehicles
with features of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control or an accident. Be sure to
read “On-pavement and off-road driving
precautions”, “Avoiding collision and roll-
over” and “Driving safety precautions” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
Foreword

MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHI-
CLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Mod-
ification could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate
governmental regulations. In addition, da-
mage or performance problems resulting
from modification will not be covered
under the INFINITI warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Di-
agnostic (OBD) plug-in device that uses
the port during normal driving, for
example remote insurance company
monitoring, remote vehicle diagnostics,
telematics or engine reprogramming,
may cause interference or damage to
vehicle systems. We do not recommend
or endorse the use of any aftermarket
OBD plug-in devices, unless specifically
approved by INFINITI. The vehicle war-
ranty may not cover damage caused by
any aftermarket plug-in device.

WARNING
.Do not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident,
you could be thrown into it and
receive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap belt
and receive serious internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the
seat belt properly. See “Precautions
on seat belt usage” (P.1-18).
. After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely
locked.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious accidents.
. To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the
assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
. The seatback should not be reclined
any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger sits well back and
straight up in the seat. If the seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and being injured is
increased.
