FUEL-FILLER CAP

WARNING

.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling.

.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.

.

Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can

result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause the
malfunction indicator light to come on.

.

Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.

.

Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:

— Always place the container on the

ground when filling.

— Do not use electronic devices when

filling.

— Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are
filling it.

— Use only approved portable fuel

containers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

.

If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint

damage.

.

Insert the cap straight into the fuel-filler
tube, then tighten the fuel-filler cap until
a single click is heard. Failure to tighten
the fuel-filler cap properly may cause the

malfunction indicator light (MIL) to

illuminate. If the

light illuminates

because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off after a few driving
trips. If the

light does not turn off

after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected by an INFINITI retailer.

.

The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will appear
if the fuel-filler cap is not properly
tightened. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the LOOSE FUEL
CAP warning appears may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate.

The automatic drive positioner system has
three features:

. Entry/exit function
. Seat synchronization function
. Memory storage

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION

This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and steering column will automati-
cally move when the automatic transmis-
sion selector lever is in the P (Park)
position. This allows the driver to get into
and out of the driver’s seat more easily.

The driver’s seat will slide backward and
the steering wheel will move up when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the OFF position.

The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions when one
of the following is operated:

. When the ignition switch is pushed to

the ACC position after the driver’s door
is closed.

. When the ignition switch is pushed to

the ON position.

. When the Intelligent Key is inserted into

the port after the driver’s door is
closed.

The driver’s seat will not return to the
previous positions if the seat or steering
adjusting switch is operated when the seat
is at the exit position.

Cancel or activate entry/exit func-
tion

The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.

The entry/exit function can be activated or
canceled by pressing and holding the SET
switch for more than 10 seconds.

The indicator lights on the memory
switches (1 and 2) will blink once when
the function is canceled, and the indicator
lights will blink twice when the function is
activated.

The entry/exit function can also be acti-
vated or canceled if the “Lift Steering
Wheel on Exit” key or “Slide Driver Seat
Back on Exit” key is turned to ON or OFF in
the “Comfort & Conv.” settings. (See
“Vehicle information and settings” in the
“4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems” section.)

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Initialize entry/exit function

If the battery cable is disconnected, or if
the fuse opens, the entry/exit function will
not work though this function was set on
before. In such a case, after connecting the
battery or replacing with a new fuse, open
and close the driver’s door more than two
times after the ignition switch is turned
from the ON position to the LOCK position.
The entry/exit function will be activated.

SPA2469

SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION

The seat synchronization function automa-
tically adjusts the positions of the steering
wheel and outside mirrors when the seat is
adjusted using the power seat switches.

However, the steering wheel and outside
mirrors will not move if the seat is adjusted
over the maximum thresholds. The system
considers that the steering wheel and
outside mirror adjustments are not neces-
sary because the seat may not be adjusted
for the driving position. Note that the
function is set to disabled as the factory
default setting.

The seat synchronization function operates
under the following conditions:

. The ignition switch is in the ON posi-

tion.

. The selector lever is in the P (Park)

position.

If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel
reaches its maximum adjustment, the
function is automatically disabled. Restart
the function by selecting a previously
stored seat memory position using the
memory switches (1 or 2). An Intelligent
Key that was previously linked to the
stored seat memory can also be used to
restart the function.

If a seat position was not previously stored
in the seat memory, restart the function by
adjusting the steering wheel and outside
mirrors manually for your best driving
position and then drive the vehicle above
4 MPH (7 km/h).

Cancel or activate seat synchroni-
zation function

The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the ACC
position.

The seat synchronization function can be
activated or canceled by pushing and

holding the SET switch for more than 10
seconds while the ignition switch is in the
ACC position.

The indicator lights on the memory
switches (1 and 2) will blink once when
the function is canceled, and the indicator
lights will blink twice when the function is
activated.

MEMORY STORAGE

Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored
in the automatic drive positioner memory.
Follow these procedures to use the mem-
ory system.

1. Move the selector lever to the P (Park)

position.

2. Push the ignition switch to the ON

position.

3. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering col-

umn and outside mirrors to the desired
positions by manually operating each
adjusting switch. For additional infor-
mation, see “Seats” in the “1. Safety —
Seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section and “Tilt/
telescopic column” earlier in this sec-
tion and “Outside mirrors” earlier in
this section.

4. Push the SET switch and, within 5

seconds, push the memory switch (1
or 2) fully for at least 1 second.

The indicator light for the pushed
memory switch will stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the
switch.

If memory is stored in the same
memory switch, the previous memory
will be deleted.

Linking Intelligent Key to a stored
memory position

The Intelligent Key can be linked to a
stored memory position with the following
procedure.

1. Follow the steps for storing a memory

position.

2. While the indicator light for the memory

switch being set is illuminated for 5
seconds, push the UNLOCK

button

on the Intelligent Key. If the indicator
light blinks, the Intelligent Key is linked
to that memory setting.

Push the ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion, and then push the UNLOCK
button on the Intelligent Key. The driver’s
seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors

will move to the memorized position or to
the exit position when the entry/exit
function is set to active.

Confirming memory storage

. Push the ignition switch to the ON

position and push the SET switch. If
the main memory has not been stored,
the indicator light will come on for
approximately 0.5 second. When the
memory has stored in position, the
indicator light will stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds.

. If the battery cable is disconnected, or if

the fuse opens, the memory will be
canceled. In this case, reset the desired
position using the previous procedure.

. If optional Intelligent Keys are added to

your vehicle, the memory storage pro-
cedure to switch 1 or 2 and linking
Intelligent Key procedure to a stored
memory position should be performed
again for each Intelligent Key. For
additional Intelligent Key information,
see “Keys” earlier in this section.
