CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE
1. Remove the valve stem cap from the tire.
2. Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do not press too hard or force the valve stem sideways, or air will escape. If the hissing sound of air escaping from the tire is heard while checking the pressure, reposition the gauge to eliminate this leak­age.
3. Remove the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge stem and compare it to the specification shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too much air is added, press the core of the valve stem briefly with the tip of the gauge stem to release pressure. Recheck the pressure and add or release air as needed.
6. Install the valve stem cap.
7. Check the pressure of all other tires, includ­ing the spare.

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 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 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.
WARNING
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 alcohol
or drugs.
ALWAYS observe posted speed limits and
never drive too fast for conditions.
ALWAYS use your seat belts and appropri-
ate 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 im-
portant safety information. As with other vehicles with features for off­road 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-to­date information regarding your vehicle. Cur-

SEATS
SSS0133AZ
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
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.
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 seat back 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 beltslater in this section.)
make sure it is securely locked.
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. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

SEAT HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)
The seats can be warmed by built-in heaters. The switches are located on the center console (for front seats) and can be operated indepen­dently of each other. For more information on the seat heater, see Seat heating (if equipped)in the 2. Instruments and controls section.
REAR SEATS
WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area
or on the rear seat when it is in the fold­down position. Use of these areas by pas­sengers without proper restraints could re­sult in serious injury or deathin 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 occu-
pants 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 ad-
justed 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 up-
right 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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
NIC2611 NPA1500
Indicates that the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
1
forward
Indicates that the seating position is
equipped with a non-removable head rest.
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 restraint/headrest was removed, rein-
stall and properly adjust the head restraint/ headrest before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraints/headrests. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
Your vehicle is equipped with head
restraints/headrests that may be integrated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
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.
