BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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.

5. To stop the engine, shift the selector

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

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), DS (Drive Sport) 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), DS
(Drive Sport) 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 DS (Drive
Sport) while vehicle is moving rearward.
Failure to do so could cause you to lose
control and have an accident.

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.

Starting and driving

DS (Drive Sport) mode

Move the selector lever from D (Drive) to
the left into the manual shift gate. The
transmission position indicator in the
meter shows “DS”.

In the DS (Drive Sport) mode, the transmis-
sion changes to the “sporty” driving shift
operation, creating a more aggressive
acceleration feeling than the D (Drive)
mode and providing a gear change sensa-
tion when the driver accelerates quickly.

When the driver selects the manual shift
mode using the selector lever during the
DS (Drive Sport) mode operation, the driver
must move the selector lever from DS
(Drive Sport) to D (Drive) and back again
to re-select the DS (Drive Sport) mode.

Manual shift mode

When the selector lever is in the DS (Drive
Sport) position, 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 these positions for all normal forward
driving at highway speeds.

M

6 (6th) and

M

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. However, if this motion is
done rapidly, the second shifting may
not be completed properly.

. 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.

. 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 ignition 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.

SSD0713

Shift lock release

If the battery charge is low or discharged,
the selector lever may not be moved from
the P (Park) position even with the brake
pedal depressed and the selector lever
button pushed.

To move the selector lever, perform the
following procedure:

1. Push the ignition switch to the OFF or

LOCK position.

2. Apply the parking brake.

3. Remove the shift lock cover

*

A

using a

suitable tool.

4. Push down the shift lock

*

B

as

illustrated.

5. Push the selector lever button

*

C

and

move the selector lever to N (Neutral)
position

*

D

while holding down the

shift lock.

Push the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion. Now the vehicle may be moved to the
desired location.

If the lever cannot be moved out of P
(Park), have an INFINITI retailer check the
automatic transmission system as soon as
possible.

Adaptive shift control (ASC)

The adaptive shift control system automa-
tically operates when the transmission is
in the "D" (drive) and "DS" (Drive Sport)
position and selects an appropriate gear
depending on the road conditions such as
uphill, downhill or curving roads.

Control on uphill and curving roads:
A low gear is maintained that suits the
degree of the slope or curve to allow
smooth driving with a small number of
shifts.

Starting and driving

5-17

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5-18

Starting and driving

Control on downhill roads:
The adaptive shift control system shifts to
a low gear that suits the degree of the
slope, and uses the engine braking to
reduce the number of times that the brake
must be used.

Control on winding roads:
A low gear is maintained on continuous
curves that involve repeated acceleration
and deceleration, so that smooth accelera-
tion is available instantly when the accel-
erator pedal is depressed.

NOTE:
. Adaptive shift control may not operate

when the transmission oil temperature
is low immediately after the start of
driving or when it is very hot.

. During some driving situations, hard

braking for example, the adaptive shift
control may automatically operate. The
transmission may automatically shift to
a lower gear for engine braking. This
increases engine speed but not vehicle
speed. Vehicle speed is controlled by
the accelerator pedal when the vehicle
is in the Adaptive shift control mode.

. When the adaptive shift control oper-

ates, the transmission sometimes

maintains a lower gear for a longer
period of time than when adaptive shift
control is not operating. Engine speed
will be higher for a specific vehicle
speed while ASC system is operating
than when ASC is not operating.

WARNING

.

Be sure the parking brake is fully
released before driving. Failure to do so
can cause brake failure and lead to an
accident.

.

Do not release the parking brake from
outside the vehicle.

.

Do not use the gear shift in place of the
parking brake. When parking, be sure
the parking brake is fully engaged.

.

Do not leave children unattended in a
vehicle. They could release the parking
brake and cause an accident.

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

LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION
(LDP) SYSTEM

Precautions on LDP system

WARNING

.

The LDP system will not steer the vehicle
or prevent loss of control. It is the
driver
s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, and be in control of vehicle at all
times.

.

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.

.

When the LDP system is operating, avoid
excessive or sudden steering maneu-
vers. Otherwise, you could lose control
of the vehicle.

.

The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 45 MPH
(70 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.

.

The LDP system may not function
properly under the following conditions,
and do not use the LDP system:

— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

wind, etc.).

— When driving on slippery roads,

such as on ice or snow, etc.

— When driving on winding or uneven

roads.

— When there is a lane closure due to

road repairs.

— When driving in a makeshift lane.

— When driving on roads where the

lane width is too narrow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

— When driving without normal tire

conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-standard
wheels).

— When the vehicle is equipped with

nonoriginal brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.

.

If the LDP system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The lane departure
warning light (orange) on the instrument
panel will illuminate.

.

If the lane departure warning light
(orange) illuminates, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle.
Turn the engine off and restart the
engine. If the warning light (orange)
continues to illuminate, have the LDP
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.

.

Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

The functions of the LDP system (warning
and brake control assist) may or may not
operate properly under the following con-
ditions:

. 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 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 LDP
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
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)

. When a sudden change in brightness

occurs. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)

While the LDP system is operating, you
may hear a sound of brake operation. This
is normal and indicates that the LDP
system is operating properly.

pressed while the brake control assist

is provided.

the system will resume operating automa-
tically and the LDP ON indicator will stop
