2014 Infiniti Q50 Owner’s Manual

Foreword

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

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

Before driving your vehicle, read your Owner’s Manual carefully. This will ensure familiarity with controls and maintenance requirements, assisting you in the safe operation of your vehicle.

SEATS

SSS0133

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

seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt properly. See Precautions on seat belt usage(P.1-12).

.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 passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and

1-2 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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.

FRONT SEATS

Front power seat adjustment

Operating tips:

.The power seat motor has an auto-reset overload protection circuit. If the motor stops during operation, wait 30 seconds, then reactivate the switch.

.Do not operate the power seat switch for a long period of time when the engine is off. This will discharge the battery.

See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-29) for the seat position memory function (if so equipped).

Forward and backward:

Moving the switch *1 forward or backward will slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position.

Reclining:

Move the recline switch *2 backward until the desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback forward again, move the switch *2 forward.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-12).) Also, the seat-

Heated seats (if so equipped)

The front seats are warmed by built-in heaters. The switches located on the instrument panel can be operated independently of each other.

For details, see the Infiniti InTouch Owner’s Manual.

REAR SEATS

Folding (if so equipped)

WARNING

.Never allow anyone to ride in the trunk or on the rear seat when it is in the folddown 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

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-5

seatback and trunk lid securely latched when not in use, and prevent childrens access to car keys.

JVR0195X

The rear seatback can be folded according to the following procedure.

. Disconnect and stow the center seat belt and tongue into the retractor base. (See “Rear center seat belt (models with rear seat folding)” (P.1-18).)

1-6 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

.Always reconnect the center seat belt when the seat is returned to the upright position.

.Remove drink containers from the rear cup holder.

To fold the seatback:

1.Open the trunk lid.

2.Pull the strap located on the left and right side of the trunk. The rear seatback will be unlatched.

3.Fold the rear seatback down.

To return the seatback:

1.Fold up the rear seatback.

2.Securely lock the seatback in position.

To access the trunk, pull down the rear center armrest and pull out the trunk passthrough lid *1 .

To lock the lid, use the mechanical key and turn it to the LOCK position *2 . To unlock, turn the mechanical key to the UNLOCK position *3 . For the mechanical key usage, see “Keys” (P.3-2).

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-7

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS

WARNING

Head restraint/headrest supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the head restraint/headrest properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the head restraint/headrest stalks or remove the head restraint/ headrest. Do not use the seat if the head restraint/headrest has been removed.
