Foreword
Information Provided by:
Your INFINITI represents a new way of
thinking about vehicle design. It integrates
advanced engineering and superior craftsmanship with a simple, refined aesthetic
sensitivity associated with traditional Japanese culture.
The result is a different notion of luxury
and beauty. The car itself is important, but
so is the sense of harmony that the vehicle
evokes in its driver, and the sense of
satisfaction you feel with the INFINITI —
from the way it looks and drives to the high
level of retailer service.
To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to
the fullest, we encourage you to read this
Owner’s Manual immediately. It explains
all of the features, controls and performance characteristics of your INFINITI; it
also provides important instructions and
safety information.
A separate Warranty Information Booklet
is included in your Owner’s literature
portfolio. The INFINITI Service and Maintenance Guide explains details about
maintaining and servicing your vehicle.
Always carry it with you when you take
your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer. The
Warranty Information Booklet contents
provide complete information about all
GUID-5A04CF95-E0E6-4709-8CAB-124C89524786
warranties covering this vehicle, the requirements to keep the warranties in effect
as well as the INFINITI Roadside Assistance program.
Additionally, a separate Customer Care
and Lemon Law Information Booklet will
explain how to resolve any concerns you
may have with your vehicle, as well as
clarify your rights under your state’s
lemon law.
In addition to factory installed options,
your vehicle may also be equipped with
additional accessories installed by INFINITI
or by your INFINITI retailer prior to delivery.
It is important that you familiarize yourself
with all disclosures, warnings, cautions
and instructions concerning proper use of
such accessories prior to operating the
vehicle and/or accessory. See an INFINITI
retailer for details concerning the particular accessories with which your vehicle is
equipped.
READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE SAFELY
GUID-31F0CB1B-66AC-4CED-9231-F664F7DF2BA8

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 in the
1-2 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-14).
. After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
. The seatback should not be reclined
further than necessary for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and
being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damages.

WARNING
. Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seat when it is in the
fold-down position. Use of these areas
by passengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury in an
accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.
. Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from playing and becoming locked in the trunk
where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the car locked, with the rear
