WARNING
Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or
off-highway motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals
including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and
lead, which are known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the
engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a wellventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands
frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information
go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
Foreword
This manual was prepared to help you
understand the operation and maintenance
of your vehicle so that you may enjoy many
miles (kilometers) of driving pleasure. Please
read through this manual before operating
your vehicle.
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

accessories prior to operating the vehicle

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.1-11).
. 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-

off. This will discharge the battery.
See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-33)
for the seat position memory function.

Moving the switch
will slide the seat forward or backward to
the desired position.
Reclining:

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.1-11).) Also, the seatback can be
reclined to allow occupants to rest when the

. When the seat position is adjusted.
Note that the seat must be moved to the
front-most position by operating the walkin function after the battery is disconnected.
Otherwise, the seat will not move backward
during the walk-in function.
REAR SEATS
Folding
. 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 seatback. In a sudden
stop or collision, unsecured cargo
1-6 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
could cause personal injury.
. When returning the seatback 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
latched when not in use, and prevent
children’s access to car keys.
WARNING
JVR0498X

the following procedure.
Before folding the seatback:
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 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.
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
