Infiniti Q50 2018 Owner's Manual

2018 OWNER’S MANUAL
AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
For your safety, read carefully and keep in this vehicle.
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. 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. It is recommended you 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.

WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Di­agnostic (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 war­ranty may not cover damage caused by any aftermarket plug-in device.

SEATS
hicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a sig­nificant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
. 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 being injured is increased.
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.1-12).
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un­knowingly activate switches or con­trols. 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 unat­tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed ve-

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.3-33) for the seat position memory function.
Forward and backward:
Moving the switch will slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position.
Reclining:
Move the recline switch the desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback forward again, move the switch 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 seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the

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 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 seatback and trunk lid securely

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. Adjustable head restraint/headrest must be adjusted 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. If the head restraint/headrest was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint/headrest be­fore an occupant uses the seating posi­tion. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraint/headrest. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
JVR0089X
The illustration shows the seating positions equipped with head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a headrest. + Indicates the seating position is not
equipped with a head restraint or headrest. . Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be inte­grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
. Adjustable head restraints/headrests
have multiple notches along the stalk to lock them in a desired adjustment posi­tion.
. The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.
. Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of your ear is approximately level with the center of the head restraint/ headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than
the recommended alignment, place the head restraint/headrest at the highest position.
. If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in place before riding in that designated seating position.
