Shoulder belt height adjustment (for
front seats and 2nd row seats)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. (See
“Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-18).)
To adjust, push the button
, and then move
the shoulder belt anchor to the desired
position, so that the belt passes over the
center of the shoulder. The belt should be
away from your face and neck, but not
falling off of your shoulder. Release the
adjustment button to lock the shoulder belt
anchor into position.
WARNING
. After adjustment, release the adjust-
ment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure it is securely fixed in
position.
. The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
best for you. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it
is not possible to properly fit the lap-
shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender that
is compatible with the installed seat belts is
available that can be purchased. The ex-
tender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm) of
length and may be used for either the driver
or front passenger seating position. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for assistance with purchasing an extender if
an extender is required.
WARNING
.It is recommended that only INFINITI
seat belt extenders, made by the
same company which made the origi-
nal equipment seat belts, be used
with the INFINITI seat belts.
. Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use could
result in serious personal injury in the
event of an accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution re-
commended for cleaning upholstery or
carpets. Then, wipe with a cloth and
allow the seat belts to dry in the shade.
Do not allow the seat belts to retract
until they are completely dry.
. If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide
of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts
may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder

Power up tips
1. After the ignition switch is pushed to theON position, there is a 12 second delay
before the monitor
(power) button is
operable.
2. On some vehicles after the ignition is turned off, the system will continue to
work for 10 minutes, or until the driver’s
door is opened.
3. Remember to turn the monitor off and pivot the screen to the locked (latched)
position when not in use.
Audio options
Wireless headphones
Each monitor includes a built-in dual channel
infrared transmitter for use with wireless
headphones. The wireless headphones must
be used within a line of sight from the
transmitter as infrared signals, like visible
light, travel only in a straight line.
How to use the wireless headphones
When placing the headphones on your head,
make sure to observe the left and right
orientation. The headphones must be or-
iented correctly (facing forward) to receive
the audio signal. Press the
(power)
button on the headphones, then select
channel “A” to listen to monitor A, or channel
“B” to listen to monitor B. Adjust the audio level using the volume control on each
headphone.
Wired headphones
There is a 3.5mm stereo headphone output
on each monitor which can be used with
most standard stereo headphones (wired
headphones sold separately).
Bluetooth
®streaming audio
To listen to audio throughout the entire
vehicle, the system includes the ability to
stream audio over a Bluetooth
®connection
to the vehicle’s stereo system.
When monitor A is selected as the source to
stream from, the audio output to the wire-
less and wired headphones will be disabled
(only on monitor A). To use the wireless or
wired headphones with monitor A, you must
turn off the Bluetooth
®streaming feature.
To enable/disable Bluetooth®streaming,
navigate to the “SETTINGS” menu, or press
on the remote control during content
playback. For additional information, see
“Settings” (P.4-61).
Media compatibility
For a list of compatible media formats for
this system, see “Storage device formatting”
(P.4-39).
. The metadata or file information of some
audio and video files may not be cor-
rectly displayed. .
It is not possible to play content that is
protected by DRM (Digital Rights Man-
agement).
. There may be a delay before playback
begins when using USB flash drives or
SD cards with complex folder hierarchies
or many files.
. Some audio, video, and image files may
be incompatible with this system due to
file characteristics, file format, recording
software used, directory structure, and/
or the type of audio/video encoding
used.
Storage device formatting
This system is compatible with several types
of formatting for USB flash drives and SD
cards. Refer to the documentation that
comes with your storage device for more
details on how to format.
FAT32 - USB and SDHC
Good for smaller capacity storage devices,
but individual files on the drive must be less
than 4GB. This format is good for music and
images.
EX-FAT - USB and SDXC
Better choice for larger capacity storage
devices with files that are more than 4GB.
This format is better for larger files such as
full-length movies.

5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
. Properly secure all cargo 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
personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death. .
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the liftgate closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be
drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. If you must drive with the
liftgate open, follow these precau-
tions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high to
circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the liftgate or the
body, follow the manufacturer’s re-
commendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service. — You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust sys-
tem, underbody, or rear of the
vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust system.
Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst are
burned at high temperatures to help reduce
pollutants.
WARNING
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials away
from the exhaust system compo-
nents.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.

4. Release the parking brake.
5. Drive slowly until the vehicle and trailerare clear from the blocks.
6. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
7. Have someone retrieve and store the blocks.
. While going downhill, the weight of the
trailer pushing on the tow vehicle may
decrease overall stability. Therefore, to
maintain adequate control, reduce your
speed and shift to a lower gear. Avoid
long or repeated use of the brakes when
descending a hill, as this reduces their
effectiveness and could cause overheat-
ing. Shifting to a lower gear instead
provides “engine braking” and reduces
the need to brake as frequently.
. If the engine coolant temperature rises to
a high temperature, see “If your vehicle
overheats” (P.6-14).
. Trailer towing requires more fuel than
normal circumstances.
. Avoid towing a trailer for your vehicle’s
first 500 miles (800 km).
. Have your vehicle serviced more often
than at intervals specified in the recom-
mended maintenance schedule shown in
the “9. Maintenance and schedules”
section. .
When making a turn, your trailer wheels
will be closer to the inside of the turn
than your vehicle wheels. To compensate
for this, make a larger than normal
turning radius during the turn.
. Crosswinds and rough roads will ad-
versely affect vehicle/trailer handling,
possibly causing vehicle sway. When
being passed by larger vehicles, be pre-
pared for possible changes in crosswinds
that could affect vehicle handling.
Do the following if the trailer begins to sway:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal to allow the vehicle to coast and steer as
straight ahead as the road conditions
allow. This combination will help stabilize
the vehicle.
.Do not correct trailer sway by steering
or applying the brakes.
2. When the trailer sway stops, gently apply the brakes and pull to the side of
the road in a safe area.
3. Try to rearrange the trailer load so it is balanced as described earlier in this
section.
. Be careful when passing other vehicles.
Passing while towing a trailer requires
considerably more distance than normal
passing. Remember the length of the
trailer must also pass the other vehicle
before you can safely change lanes. .
Use the TOW mode or downshift the
transmission to a lower gear for engine
braking when driving down steep or long
hills. This will help slow the vehicle
without applying the brakes.
. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too
long or too frequently. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in
reduced braking efficiency.
. Increase your following distance to allow
for greater stopping distances while
towing a trailer. Anticipate stops and
brake gradually.
. INFINITI recommends that the cruise
control not be used while towing a
trailer.
. While towing a trailer, do not use the
following systems (if so equipped):
— the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
(See “How to enable/disable the
LDW system” (P.5-24).)
— the Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system
(See “How to enable/disable the LDP
system” (P.5-30).)
— the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system (See “How to enable/disable the
BSW system” (P.5-36).)
— the Blind Spot Intervention
