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 ofluxury 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 prior to delivery. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. 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 that you visit 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 this Owner's Manual carefully. This will ensure familiarity with controls and maintenance requirements, assisting you in the safe operation of your vehicle.

Important safety information reminders!

Follow these important driving rules to help ensure a safe and complete trip for you and your passengers!

• NEVER drive under the influence of al-

cohol or drugs.

• ALWAYS observe posted speed limits

and never drive too fast for conditions.

WARNING

• ALWAYS use your seat belts and appro-

priate child restraint systems. Preteen children should be seated in the rear seat.

• ALWAYS give your full attention to

driving and avoid using vehicle features or taking other actions that could distract you.

• ALWAYS provide information about

the proper use of vehicle safety features to all occupants of the vehicle.

• ALWAYS review this Owner's Manual

for important safety information. As with other vehicles with features for off-road use, failure to operate all-wheel drive models correctly may result in loss of control or an accident. Be sure to read “Driving safety precautions” in the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING

This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car because it has a higher center of gravity for off-road use. As with other vehicles with features of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident.

For additional information, refer to “Onpavement and off-road driving precautions”, “Avoiding collision and rollover” and “Driving safety precautions” in the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.

MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE

This vehicle should not be modified. Modification could affect its performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from modifications may not be covered under INFINITI warranties.

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.

WHEN READING THE MANUAL

This manual includes information for all features and equipment available on this model. Features and equipment in your vehicle may vary depending on model, trim level, options selected, order, date of production, region or availability. Therefore, you may find information about features or equipment that are not included or installed on your vehicle.

All information, specifications and illustrations in this manual are those in effect at the time of printing. INFINITI reserves the right to change performance, design or component suppliers without notice and without obligation.

From time to time, INFINITI may update or revise this manual to provide Owners with the most accurate information currently available. Please carefully read and retain with this manual all revision updates sent to you by INFINITI to ensure you have access to accurate and up-to-date information regarding your vehicle. Current versions of vehicle Owner’s Manuals and any updates can also be found in the Owner section of the INFINITI website at https:// owners.infinitiusa.com/owners/navigation/ manualsandGuides. If you have questions concerning any information in your Owner’s

Manual, contact INFINITI Consumer Affairs. See the INFINITI CUSTOMER CARE PROGRAM page in this Owner’s Manual for contact information.

SEATS

• Do not adjust the driver’s seat while

driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.

CAUTION

WARNING

• The seatback should not be reclined any

more than needed 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.

• 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 properly. (See "Seat belts" later in this section.)

• 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 vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

• Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls or move the vehicle. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

• After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

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

SSS0133AZ

• When moving the seats forward or

backward, or returning a reclined seatback to its upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback while operating. If the seatback is not held, the seat or seatback may move suddenly and could cause injury.

• When adjusting the seat positions, be

sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

REAR SEATS

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 or death 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.

• Do not allow people to ride in any area of

your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

• Do not allow more than one person to

use the same seat belt.

• Do not fold down the rear seats when

occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.

– Make sure that the seat path is clear

before moving the seat.

– Be careful not to allow hands or feet

to get caught or pinched in the seat.

• Head restraints/headrests should be

adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident. Always replace and adjust them properly if they have been removed for any reason.

• If the head restraints/headrests are re-

moved for any reason, they should be securely stored to prevent them from causing injury to passengers or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden braking or an accident.

• 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.

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

NPA1293 NIC2669

Folding

The luggage compartment loading capacity can be increased by folding the rear seatbacks forward.

To fold the seatback:

1. Ensure head restraints are properly stowed, see "Head restraints/Headrests" later in this section.

2. Release the seatback lock by pulling the release handle as shown.

3. Fold the seatback forward as shown.

WARNING

Always use the seat belt holder, and ensure that the seat belt is not trapped in the seatback latch mechanism. Failure to do so may cause damage to the seat belt, and this may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

4. Insert the seat belt into the seat belt holder as shown.

To return the seatback to an upright position:

1. Make sure the seat belts are clear of the

seatback latch mechanism.

2. Lift the seatback up and push firmly to

lock.

3. If the red marker is visible then the seat-

back has not latched properly — release and then re-latch the seat.

4. If the head restraint/headrest was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint/headrest before an occupant uses the seating position. See "Head restraints/Headrests" later in this section.

WARNING

Head restraints/headrests supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjustable head restraints/headrests 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

• 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.

NOTE For vehicles with sports seats you cannot

adjust the front head restraints/headrests or the outer rear head restraints/headrests.

SEAT BELTS

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat, your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced. INFINITI strongly encourages you and all of your passengers to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seating position includes a supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories specify that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven.
