2017 Inﬁniti QX50 Owner’s Manual

and Maintenance Information

(3,1)

Foreword

GUID-2F2D27F5-65B6-4D66-A0F7-BF158B86DF44

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. 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.

GUID-528982C0-019C-4EF8-8549-CC460F948AB8

(4,1)

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. As with other vehicles with features of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident. Be sure to read “On-pavement and off-road driving precautions”, “Avoiding collision and rollover” and “Driving safety precautions” in the “5. 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 modification will not be covered under the 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

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.

GUID-4053DB0D-5096-4FC3-8F65-27A0002AFC45

right to change specifications, performance, design or component suppliers without notice and without obligation.

SEATS

GUID-9A857634-92CF-4F7D-BCEB-B42451D73ADA

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

SSS0133

upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-

12).

. After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

. 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 vehicle 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 seat back is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

GUID-AB6CD48F-0501-4971-A87E-369A7841C79C

. 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.3-25) for the seat position memory function (if so equipped).

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damages.

Forward and backward:

Moving the switch

GUID-369C4970-68CA-486D-BC58-31D1BFC0C226

forward or backward

will slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position.

Reclining:

Move the recline switch

GUID-C4EF3448-4900-4CA1-95A3-7ABA357BB95B

backward until

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 seat-

SSS1051

back can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park) position.
