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 well-

ventilated 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 port-

folio. Always carry it with you when you

take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer.

The Warranty Information Booklet con-

tents 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 ex-

plain 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 in-

structions concerning proper use of such

accessories prior to operating the vehicle

and/or accessory. It is recommended you

visit an INFINITI retailer for details concern-

ing the particular accessories with which

your vehicle is equipped.

READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE

SAFELY

Before driving your vehicle, read your Own-

er’s Manual carefully. This will ensure famil-

iarity with controls and maintenance

requirements, assisting you in the safe

operation of your vehicle.

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

REMINDERS!

Follow these important driving rules to

help ensure a safe and comfortable trip

for you and your passengers!

. NEVER drive under the influence of

alcohol or drugs.

. ALWAYS observe posted speed lim-

its and never drive too fast for

conditions.

. ALWAYS give your full attention to

driving and avoid using vehicle fea-

tures or taking other actions that

could distract you.

. ALWAYS use your seat belts and

appropriate child restraint systems.

Pre-teen children should be seated in

the rear seat.

. ALWAYS provide information about

the proper use of vehicle safety

features to all occupants of the

vehicle.

. ALWAYS review this Owner’s Man-

ual for important safety information.

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. Be sure to

read “On-pavement and off-road driving

precautions”, “Avoiding collision and roll-

over” and “Driving safety precautions” in

the “5. Starting and driving” section of this

manual.

Foreword

MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHI-

CLE

This vehicle should not be modified. Mod-

ification could affect its performance,

safety or durability, and may even violate

governmental regulations. In addition, da-

mage or performance problems resulting

from modification will not be covered

under the INFINITI warranties.

WARNING

Installing an aftermarket On-Board Di-

agnostic (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 war-

ranty 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 pro-

duction, 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 illustra-

tions in this manual are those in effect at the

time of printing. INFINITI reserves the right

to change specifications, performance, de-

sign or component suppliers without notice

and without obligation. From time to time,

INFINITI may update or revise this manual to

revision updates sent to you by INFINITI to

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.1-17).

. After adjustment, gently rock in the

seat to make sure it is securely

locked.

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could un-

knowingly activate switches or con-

trols. 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 unat-

tended in your vehicle. Additionally,

the temperature inside a closed ve-

hicle on a warm day can quickly

become high enough to cause a sig-

nificant 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 seat-

back is reclined, the risk of sliding

under the lap belt and being injured is

increased.

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

SEATS

1-4 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

FRONT SEATS

Front power seat adjustment

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.

SSS1051

Forward and backward:

Moving the switch

forward or backward

will slide the seat forward or backward to

the desired position.

Reclining:

Move the recline switch

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.1-17).) Also, the seatback can be

reclined to allow occupants to rest when the

vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in

the P (Park) position.

SSS1052

Seat lifter:

1. Pull up or push down the adjusting

switch to adjust the seat height until

the desired position is achieved.

2. Tilt up or down the adjusting switch to

adjust the front angle of the seat until

is in the fold-down position. Use of

these areas by passengers without

proper restraints could result in ser-

ious 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.

prevent it from sliding or shifting.

Do not place cargo higher than the

seatbacks. In a sudden stop or colli-

sion, unsecured cargo could cause

personal injury.
