sing the brake pedal within 10 seconds
after the chime sounds. The engine will
start.

After step 3 is performed, when the
ignition switch is pushed without depres-
sing the brake pedal, the ignition switch
position will change to ACC.

NOTE:
. When the ignition switch is pushed to

the ACC or ON position or the engine is
started by the above procedures, the
Intelligent Key battery discharge indi-
cator appears on the dot matrix liquid
crystal display even if the Intelligent
Key is inside the vehicle. This is not a
malfunction. To turn off the Intelligent
Key battery discharge indicator, touch
the ignition switch with the Intelligent
Key again.

. If the Intelligent Key battery discharge

indicator appears, replace the battery
as soon as possible. (See

“Battery” in

the

“8. Maintenance and do-it-your-

self

” section.)

. Make sure the area around the vehicle

is clear.

. Check fluid levels such as engine oil,

coolant, brake fluid and window
washer fluid as frequently as possible,
or at least whenever you refuel.

. Check that all windows and lights are

clean.

. Visually inspect tires for their appear-

ance and condition. Also check tires for
proper inflation.

. Lock all doors.
. Position seat and adjust head re-

straints/headrests.

. Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
. Fasten seat belts and ask all passen-

gers to do likewise.

. Check the operation of warning lights

when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position. (See

“Warning/indica-

tor lights and audible reminders

” in the

“2. Instruments and controls” section.)

1. Apply the parking brake.

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

or N (Neutral) position. (P is recom-
mended.)

The starter is designed not to operate
unless the selector lever is in either of
the above positions.

3. Push the ignition switch to the ON

position. Depress the brake pedal and
push the ignition switch to start the
engine.

To start the engine immediately, push
and release the ignition switch while
depressing the brake pedal with the
ignition switch in any position.

.

If the engine is very hard to start in
extremely cold weather or when
restarting, depress the accelerator
pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to
the floor) and while holding, crank
the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.

.

If the engine is very hard to start
because it is flooded, depress the
accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it. Push the ignition
switch to the ON position to start
cranking the engine. After 5 or 6
seconds, stop cranking by pushing

STARTING THE ENGINE

the ignition switch to OFF. After
cranking the engine, release the
accelerator pedal. Crank the engine
with your foot off the accelerator
pedal by depressing the brake pedal
and pushing the push-button igni-
tion switch to start the engine. If the
engine starts, but fails to run, repeat
the above procedure.

CAUTION

Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the engine does not
start, push the ignition switch to OFF and
wait 10 seconds before cranking again,
otherwise the starter could be damaged.

4.

Warm-up

Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at
moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather. In cold
weather, keep the engine running for a
minimum of 2 - 3 minutes before
shutting it off. Starting and stopping
the engine over a short period of time
may make the vehicle more difficult to

start.

When racing the engine up to 4,000
rpm or more under the no load condi-
tion, the engine will enter the fuel cut
mode.

5. To stop the engine, shift the selector

lever to the P (Park) position and push
the ignition switch to the OFF position.

ENGINE PROTECTION MODE

The engine has an engine protection mode
to reduce the chance of damage if the
coolant temperature becomes too high (for
example, when climbing steep grades in
high temperature with heavy loads, such
as when towing a trailer).

When the engine temperature reaches a
certain level:
. The engine coolant temperature gauge

will move toward the H position.

. Engine power may be reduced.
. The air conditioning cooling function

may be automatically turned OFF for a
short time (the blower will continue to
operate).

Engine power and, under some conditions,
vehicle speed will decrease. Vehicle speed
can be controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the vehicle may not accelerate
at the desired speed. The transmission will
downshift or upshift as it reaches pre-
scribed shift points. You can also shift
manually.

As driving conditions change and engine
coolant temperature is reduced, vehicle
speed can be increased using the accel-
erator pedal, and air conditioning cooling

function will automatically be turned back
ON.

If:

1. The engine coolant temperature is not

reduced.

2. The air conditioning cooling function

does not turn back ON.

3. The engine oil pressure warning light

illuminates or engine coolant

temperature gauge does not return to
the normal range from the H position,
this may indicate a malfunction. Move
the vehicle off the road to a safe area
and allow the engine to cool. If after
checking the oil and coolant, the
remains on or engine coolant tempera-
ture does not return to the normal
range, do not continue to drive and
contact an INFINITI retailer.

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may also come ON. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed, unless it remains
on, but have it inspected soon by an
INFINITI retailer. See

“Warning/indicator

lights and audible reminders

” in the “2.

Instruments and controls

” section.

WARNING

Overheating can result in reduced engine
power and vehicle speed. The reduced speed
may be lower than other traffic, which could
increase the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving. If the
vehicle cannot maintain a safe driving
speed, pull to the side of the road in a safe
area. Allow the engine to cool and return to
normal operation. See

“If your vehicle over-

heats

” in the “6. In case of emergency”

section.

CAUTION

Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Such damage is not covered
by warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as
it is safe to do so.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

7 speed automatic transmission

The automatic transmission in your vehicle
is electronically controlled by a transmis-
sion control module to produce maximum
efficiency and smooth operation.

Shown on the following pages are the
recommended operating procedures for
this transmission. Follow these procedures
for maximum vehicle performance and
driving enjoyment.

Starting the vehicle

After starting the engine, fully depress the
foot brake pedal and push the selector
lever button before shifting the selector
lever to the R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D
(Drive) or Manual shift mode position. Be
sure the vehicle is fully stopped before
attempting to shift the selector lever.

This automatic transmission model is
designed so that the foot brake pedal
must be depressed before shifting from P
(Park) to any drive position while the
ignition switch position is ON.

The selector lever cannot be moved out of
the P (Park) position and into any of the
other gear positions if the ignition switch
is pushed to the LOCK, OFF or ACC
position.

1. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed

and push the selector lever button to
shift into a driving gear.

2. Release the parking brake and foot

brake, then gradually start the vehicle
in motion.

WARNING

. Do not depress the accelerator pedal

while shifting from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse), D (Drive) or
manual shift mode. Always depress the
brake pedal until shifting is completed.
Failure to do so could cause you to lose
control and have an accident.

. Cold engine idle speed is high, so use

caution when shifting into a forward or
reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up.

. Never shift to P (Park) or R (Reverse)

while vehicle is moving forward. Never
shift to P (Park), D (Drive) or manual shift

mode while vehicle is moving rearward.
Failure to do so could cause you to lose
control and have an accident.

. Except in an emergency, do not shift to

the N (Neutral) position while driving.
Doing so can cause a loss of engine
braking which may result in a collision,
serious personal injury or death. In
addition, coasting with the transmission
in the N (Neutral) position may cause
serious damage to the transmission.

CAUTION

. When stopping the vehicle on an uphill

grade, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal. The
foot brake should be used for this
purpose.

. Do not downshift abruptly on slippery

roads. This may cause a loss of control.

WARNING

Apply the parking brake if the selector lever
is in any position while the engine is not
running. Failure to do so could cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly or roll away
and result in serious personal injury or
property damage.

CAUTION

Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped
and the transmission is in the P (Park)
position.

P (Park) position:

Use this selector position when the vehicle
is parked or when starting the engine.
Make sure the vehicle is completely

stopped.

The brake pedal must be de-

pressed and the selector lever button
pushed in to move the selector lever from
the N (Neutral) position or any drive
position to the P (Park) position. Apply
the parking brake. When parking on a hill,
apply the parking brake first, then move
the selector lever to the P (Park) position.

CAUTION

Use this position only when the vehicle is
completely stopped.

R (Reverse):

Use this position to back up. Always be
sure the vehicle is completely stopped
before selecting the R (Reverse) position.
The brake pedal must be depressed and
the selector lever button pushed in to
move the selector lever from the P (Park)
position, the N (Neutral) position or any
drive position to the R (Reverse) position.

N (Neutral):

Neither forward nor reverse gear is en-
gaged. The engine can be started in this
position. You may shift to the N (Neutral)
position and restart a stalled engine while

the vehicle is moving.

D (Drive):

Use this position for all normal forward
driving.

Manual shift mode

When the selector lever is in the manual
shift gate, the transmission is ready for the
manual shift mode. Shift ranges can be
selected manually by moving the selector
lever up or down.

When shifting up, move the selector lever
to the + (up) side. The transmission shifts
to the higher range.

When shifting down, move the selector
lever to the

− (down) side. The transmis-

sion shifts to the lower range.

When canceling the manual shift mode,
return the selector lever to the D (Drive)
position. The transmission returns to the
normal driving mode.

In the manual shift mode, the shift range is
displayed on the position indicator in the
meter.

Shift ranges up or down one by one as
follows:

7 (7th):

Use this position for all normal forward
driving at highway speeds.

M

6 (6th) and

M

5 (5th):

Use this position when driving up long
slopes, or for engine braking when driving
down long slopes.

M

4 (4th),

M

3 (3rd) and

M

2 (2nd):

Use these positions for hill climbing or
engine braking on downhill grades.

M

1 (1st):

Use this position when climbing steep hills
slowly or driving slowly through deep
snow, or for maximum engine braking on
steep downhill grades.
. Remember not to drive at high speeds

for extended periods of time in lower
than 7th gear. This reduces fuel econ-
omy.

. Moving the selector lever rapidly to the

same side twice will shift the ranges in
succession.

. In the manual shift mode, the transmis-

sion may not shift to the selected gear.
This helps maintain driving perfor-

mance and reduces the chance of
vehicle damage or loss of control.
When this situation occurs, the Auto-
matic Transmission (AT) position indi-
cator light (on the dot matrix liquid
crystal display) will blink and the
chime will sound.

. In the manual shift mode, the transmis-

sion automatically shifts down to 1st
gear before the vehicle comes to a
stop. When accelerating again, it is
necessary to shift up to the desired
range.

Accelerator downshift

— In D (Drive)

position

—

For passing or hill climbing, fully depress
the accelerator pedal to the floor. This
shifts the transmission down into the lower
gear, depending on the vehicle speed.

Fail-safe

When the fail-safe operation occurs, note
that the transmission will be locked in any
of the forward gears according to the
condition.

If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel spin-
ning and subsequent hard braking, the
fail-safe system may be activated. This will
occur even if all electrical circuits are
functioning properly. In this case, push
the switch to the OFF position and wait for
3 seconds. Then push the ignition switch
back to the ON position. The vehicle
should return to its normal operating
condition. If it does not return to its
normal operating condition, have an
INFINITI retailer check the transmission
and repair if necessary.

warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

The system may not function properly
under the following conditions:
. On roads where there are multiple

parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-stan-
dard lane markers; or lane markers
covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.

. On roads where the discontinued lane

markers are still detectable.

. On roads where there are sharp curves.
. On roads where there are sharply

contrasting objects, such as shadows,
snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines
remaining after road repairs. (The LDW
system could detect these items as
lane markers.)

. On roads where the traveling lane

merges or separates.

. When the vehicle’s traveling direction

does not align with the lane marker.

. When traveling close to the vehicle in

front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.

. When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the

windshield in front of the lane camera
unit.

. When the headlights are not bright due

to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.

. When strong light enters the lane

camera unit. (For example, the light
directly shines on the front of the

. The LDP system is primarily intended for

use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways. It may not detect the lane markers
in certain roads, weather or driving
conditions.

. Using the LDP system under some

conditions of road, lane marker or
weather, or when you change lanes
without using the lane change signal
could lead to an unexpected system
operation. In such conditions, you need
to correct the vehicle

’s direction with

your steering operation to avoid acci-
dents.
