For your safety, read carefully and keep in this vehicle.
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.

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-
SSS1051
back can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is parked.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-3
SSS1052
Seat lifter:
Push the front or rear end of the switch up or down to adjust the angle of the front portion or height of the seat.
SSS1053
Type A
Lumbar support (if so equipped):
The lumbar support feature provides lower back support to the driver.
