WARNING

●

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a

cargo area inside the vehicle. In a col-

lision, people riding in these areas

are more likely to be seriously injured

or killed.

●

Do not allow people to ride in any area

of 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.

TERMS

It is important to familiarize yourself
with the following terms before loading
your vehicle:

●

Curb Weight (actual weight of your
vehicle) - vehicle weight including:
standard and optional equipment, flu-
ids, emergency tools, and spare tire
assembly. This weight

does not in-

clude passengers and cargo.

●

GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb
weight plus the combined weight of
passengers and cargo.

●

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) -
maximum total combined weight of
the unloaded vehicle, passengers,
luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load
and any other optional equipment.
This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.

●

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -
maximum weight (load) limit specified
for the front or rear axle. This infor-
mation

is

located

on

the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.

●

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rat-
ing) - The maximum total weight rat-
ing of the vehicle, passengers, cargo,
and trailer.

●

Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit,
Total load capacity - maximum total
weight limit specified of the load
(passengers and cargo) for the ve-
hicle. This is the maximum combined

weight of occupants and cargo that
can be loaded into the vehicle. If the
vehicle is used to tow a trailer, the
trailer tongue weight must be in-
cluded as part of the cargo load. This
information is located on the Tire and
Loading Information label.

●

Cargo capacity - permissible weight of
cargo, the weight of total occupants
weight subtracted from the load limit.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

Do not exceed the load limit of your
vehicle shown as “The combined weight
of occupants and cargo” on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Do not ex-
ceed the number of occupants shown as
“Seating Capacity” on the Tire and Load-
ing Information label.
To get “the combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo”, add the weight of all

occupants, then add the total luggage
weight. Examples are shown in the illus-
tration.

Steps for determining correct load

limit

1.

Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on
your vehicle’s placard.

2.

Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will be
riding in your vehicle.

3.

Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.

4.

The resulting figure equals the avail-
able amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For example, if the XXX
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there
will be five 150 lb. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1400

2 750 (5 x 150) = 650

lbs) or 640

2 340 (5 x 70) = 300 kg.)

5.

Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.

6.

If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be trans-
ferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this re-
duces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm
that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle.
(See “MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS” later
in this section.)
Also check tires for proper inflation pres-
sures. See the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label.

LOADING TIPS

●

The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR

as

specified

on

the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification la-
bel.

●

Do not load the front and rear axle to
the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the
GVWR.

WARNING

●

Properly secure all cargo to help pre-

vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not

place cargo higher than the seat-

backs. In a sudden stop or collision,

unsecured cargo could cause per-

sonal injury.

●

Do not load your vehicle any heavier

than the GVWR or the maximum front

and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of

your vehicle can break, tire damage

could occur, or it can change the way

your vehicle handles. This could re-

sult in loss of control and cause per-

sonal injury.

●

Overloading could not only shorten

the life of your vehicle and the tires,

but also could lead to hazardous ve-

hicle handling and long braking dis-

tance. This may cause a premature

tire malfunction, which could result in

a serious accident and personal in-

jury. Failures caused by overloading

are not covered by the vehicle’s

warranty.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

Secure loose items to prevent weight
shifts that could affect the balance of
your vehicle. When the vehicle is loaded,
drive to a scale and weigh the front and
the rear wheels separately to determine
axle loads. Individual axle loads should
not exceed either of the gross axle
weight ratings (GAWR). The total of the
axle loads should not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR). These rat-
ings are given on the vehicle certifica-
tion label. If weight ratings are ex-
ceeded, move or remove items to bring
all weights below the ratings.

Your vehicle was designed to be used to carry

passengers and cargo. INFINITI does not recom-

mend trailer towing, because it places addi-

tional loads on your vehicle’s engine, drivetrain,

steering, braking, and other systems.
An INFINITI Towing Guide (U.S. only) is available

on the website at www.infiniti.com. This guide

includes information on trailer towing capability

and the special equipment required for proper

towing.

CAUTION

Vehicle damage resulting from towing a trailer

is not covered by INFINITI warranties.

FLAT TOWING

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the

ground is sometimes called flat towing. This

method is sometimes used when towing a

vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a

motor home.

CAUTION

● Failure to follow these guidelines can result

in severe transmission damage.

● Whenever flat towing your vehicle, always

tow forward, never backward.

● DO NOT tow any automatic transmission ve-

hicle with all four wheels on the ground (flat

towing). Doing so WILL DAMAGE internal

transmission parts due to lack of transmis-

sion lubrication.

● For emergency towing procedures refer to

“TOWING RECOMMENDED BY INFINITI” in the

“6. In case of emergency” section of this

manual.

Automatic transmission

To tow a vehicle equipped with an automatic

transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly

MUST be placed under the towed vehicle’s drive

wheels.

Always follow the dolly manufacturer’s

recommendations when using their product.

Manual transmission

● Always tow with the manual transmission in

Neutral.

● Your vehicle speed should never exceed 70

MPH (112 km/h) when flat towing your ve-

hicle.

● After towing 500 miles, start and idle the

engine with the transmission in Neutral for

two minutes. Failure to idle the engine after

every 500 miles of towing may cause dam-

age to the transmission’s internal parts.

DOT (Department Of Transportation) Quality

Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to

federal safety requirements in addition to these

grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable

on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and

maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEAR

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating

based on the wear rate of the tire when tested

under controlled conditions on a specified gov-

ernment test course. For example, a tire graded

150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times

as well on the government course as a tire

graded 100. The relative performance of tires

depends upon actual conditions of their use,

however, and may depart significantly from the

norm due to variations in driving habits, service

practices and differences in road characteristics

and climate.

TRACTION AA, A, B AND C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are

AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the

tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as mea-

sured under controlled conditions on specified

government test surfaces of asphalt and con-

crete. A tire marked C may have poor traction

performance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based

on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and

does not include acceleration, cornering, hy-

droplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

TEMPERATURE A, B AND C

The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and

C, representing the tire’s resistance to the

generation of heat and its ability to dissipate

heat when tested under controlled conditions

on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the ma-

terial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire

life, and excessive temperature can lead to

sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to

a level of performance which all passenger car

tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A rep-

resent higher levels of performance on the

laboratory test wheel than the minimum re-

quired by law.

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is estab-

lished for a tire that is properly inflated and not

overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation,

or excessive loading, either separately or in

combination, can cause heat build-up and pos-

sible tire failure.

Your INFINITI is covered by the following emis-

sion warranties.
For US:
● Emission Defects Warranty
● Emissions Performance Warranty (See War-

ranty Information Booklet for details.)

For Canada:

If you believe that your vehicle has a
defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National High-
way

Traffic

Safety

Administration

(NHTSA) in addition to notifying INFINITI.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it
may open an investigation, and if it finds
that a safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and rem-
edy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot
become involved in individual problems
between you, your dealer, or INFINITI.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the
Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-
327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to
http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Ad-
ministrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street,
SW., Washington DC 20590. You can
also obtain other information about mo-
tor

vehicle

safety

from

http://www.safercar.gov.

You may notify INFINITI by contacting our
Consumer Affairs Department, toll-free,
at 1-800-662-6200.

A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

should never be tested using a two wheel

dynamometer (such as the dynamometers used

by some states for emissions testing), or similar

equipment. Make sure you inform test facility

personnel that your vehicle is equipped with

AWD before it is placed on a dynamometer.

Using the wrong test equipment may result in

transmission damage or unexpected vehicle

movement which could result in serious vehicle

damage or personal injury.
Due to legal requirements in some states/

areas, your vehicle may be required to be in

what is called the “ready condition” for an

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the emis-

sion control system.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition” when

it is driven through certain driving patterns.

Usually, the “ready condition” can be obtained

by ordinary usage of the vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is repaired or

the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may be

reset to a “not ready condition”. Before taking

the

I/M

test,

check

the

vehicle’s

inspection/maintenance test readiness condi-

tion. Push the ignition switch to the ON position

without starting the engine. If the Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL) comes on steady for 20

seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds, the I/M

test condition is “not ready”. If the MIL does not

blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condition is

“ready”.
If the MIL indicates the vehicle is in a “not

ready” condition, drive the vehicle through the

following pattern to set the vehicle to the

“ready condition”. If you cannot or do not want

to perform the driving pattern, an INFINITI

dealer can conduct it for you.

WARNING

Always drive the vehicle in a safe and prudent

manner according to traffic conditions and

obey all traffic laws.

1. Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle

until the engine coolant temperature

gauge needle points between the C and H

(normal operating temperature).

2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88

km/h), then quickly release the accelera-

tor pedal completely and keep it released

for at least 10 seconds.

3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal for

a moment, then drive the vehicle at a

speed of 53 to 60 MPH (86 to 96 km/h) for

at least 9 minutes.

4. Stop the vehicle. Leave the engine run-

ning.

5. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 MPH (55

km/h) and maintain the speed for 20

seconds.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 at least 10 times.
7. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88

km/h) and maintain the speed for at least

3 minutes.

8. Stop the vehicle. Place the automatic

transmission selector lever in the P (Park)

or N (Neutral) position or the manual

transmission shift lever in the N (Neutral)

position.

9. Turn the engine off.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 8 at least one

more time.

If step 1 through 7 is interrupted, repeat the

preceding step. Any safe driving mode is ac-

ceptable between steps. Do not stop the engine

until step 7 is completed.

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re-

corder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to

record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa-

tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a

road obstacle, data that will assist in under-

standing how a vehicle’s systems performed.

The EDR is designed to record data related to

vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short

period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The

EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such

data as:
● How various systems in your vehicle were

operating;

● Whether or not the driver and passenger

safety belts were buckled/fastened;

● How far (if at all) the driver was depressing

the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

● How fast the vehicle was traveling.
● Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better under-

standing of the circumstances in which crashes

and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded

by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situa-

tion occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR

under normal driving conditions and no personal

data (e.g. name, gender, age and crash location)

are recorded. However, other parties, such as

law enforcement, could combine the EDR data

with the type of personally identifying data rou-

tinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-

ment is required and access to the vehicle or the

EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu-

facturer and INFINITI dealer, other parties, such

as law enforcement, that have the special equip-

ment, can read the information if they have ac-

cess to the vehicle or the EDR. The EDR data may

be retrieved during routine vehicle servicing or

for special research. It might also be accessed

with the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee,

in response to a request by law enforcement, or

as otherwise required or permitted by law.

IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION

Unfortunately, accidents do occur. In this un-

likely event, there is some important informa-

tion you should know. Many insurance compa-

nies routinely authorize the use of non-genuine

collision parts in order to cut costs, among

other reasons.

Insist on the use of Genuine INFINITI

Collision Parts!

If you want your vehicle to be restored using

parts made to INFINITI’s original exacting speci-

fications — if you want to help it to last and hold

its resale value, the solution is simple.

insurance agent and your repair shop to only use

Genuine INFINITI Collision Parts. INFINITI does

not warrant non-INFINITI parts, nor does INFINI-

TI’s warranty apply to damage caused by a

non-genuine part.
Using Genuine INFINITI Parts can help protect

your personal safety, preserve your warranty

protection and maintain the resale value of your

vehicle. And if your vehicle was leased, using

Genuine INFINITI Parts may prevent or limit

unnecessary excess wear and tear expenses at

the end of your lease.
INFINITI designs its hoods with crumple zones

to minimize the risk that the hood will penetrate

the windshield of your vehicle in an accident.

Non-genuine (imitation) parts may not provide

such built in safeguards. Also, non-genuine

parts often show premature wear, rust and

corrosion.

Why should you take a chance?

In over 40 states, the law says you must be

advised if non-genuine parts are used to repair

your vehicle. And some states have enacted

laws that restrict insurance companies from

authorizing the use of non-genuine collision

parts during the new vehicle warranty. These

laws help protect you, so you can take action to

protect yourself.

It’s your right!
