2020 OWNER’S MANUAL

AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

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

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

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.

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 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 visit an INFINITI retailer for details concerning the particular accessories with which

your vehicle is equipped.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFFROAD 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. 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 VEHI-

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 specifications, 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 upto-date information regarding your vehicle.

. 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.1-17).

. 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

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.

SEATS

WARNING

SSS0133

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-3

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.3-39) for the seat position memory function.

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 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.1-17).) Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the

forward or backward

2. Tilt up or down the adjusting switch to adjust the front angle of the seat until the desired position is achieved (for driver’s seat).

SSS1053

Lumbar support:

The lumbar support feature provides lower back support to the occupants.

Push the front or back end of the switch to adjust the seatback lumbar area.

2ND ROW 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 in an accident or sudden stop.

. 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.

. Properly secure all cargo 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.

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

Reclining

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

. 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.1-17).

. After adjustment, check to be sure

the seat is securely locked.

Pull the reclining lever and position the seatback at the desired angle. Release the reclining lever after positioning the seat at the desired angle.

To return the seatback, pull the lever. The reclining feature allows adjustment of

the seatback for occupants of different sizes to help obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-17).) The seatback may also be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is parked.

. Be careful not to allow the 2nd row

seat to pinch, hit any part of your body or other people when operating the 2nd row seat. Make sure the seat path is clear of all objects before moving the seat.

The 2nd row seat can be tipped forward for easy entry to or exit from the 3rd row seat.

SSS1066

located on the 2nd row seat and fold the

seatback forward

at an angle over the seat base. Then lift up the seat base and tip the 2nd row seat forward

. This will release

the back of the seat so it may be tipped

forward. To exit the 3rd row seat, pull the lever

and fold the seatback forward onto the seat base. Then lift up on the seat base and tip it forward.

WAB0053X

For remote release type (if so equipped):

Push and hold the switch located on the instrument panel. The seatback will fold down and tip forward.

The lower corner of the seat base will lift and the 2nd row seat will tip forward.
