2014 Infiniti QX50 - Push Button Ignition

To start the engine, press the brake pedal, and then push the ignition switch.

To stop the engine, move the shift lever to the Park position and push the ignition switch to the OFF position.

Pushing the ignition switch once, without applying the foot brake, will place the vehicle in ACC mode. When the ignition switch is pushed a second time, it will change to ON and a third time returns the ignition switch to OFF.

Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds after starting. Do not race the engine while warming it up. Drive at a moderate speed for a short distance, especially in cold weather. During cold weather, allow the engine to run 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 leaving the vehicle, make sure that the ignition switch is placed in the LOCK position and that you take the Intelligent Key with you. As a precaution, if the driver's door is open while the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, a chime will sound.

• First make sure the shift lever is in the Park position,
• Then insert the Intelligent Key into the key port. Make sure the Intelligent Key is placed in the correct direction: The front side faces upward and the key ring side faces the driver.
• Push the ignition switch while applying the brake pedal and the engine will start.
• If the brake pedal is not applied when the ignition switch is pressed, the ignition position changes to ACC.

The Intelligent Keyport does not charge the Intelligent Key battery. If you see the low battery indicator in the Dot Matrix Liquid Crystal Display, replace the battery as soon as possible.

2014 Infiniti QX50 - Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors tire pressure. The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will appear in the vehicle information display and the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate when one or more tires are low on pressure and air is needed.

Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 miles per hour. The warning and indicator light will disappear.

If the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately one minute and then remains on after you turn the ignition ON, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an Infiniti retailer.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle's operation and the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate.

If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires (including the spare tire). Check your tire pressure often and always prior to long distance trips.

The Tire and Loading Information label provides important information at a glance. It lists proper tire size and pressure. It also lists the maximum number of occupants for your vehicle and its maximum load capacity.

Please check your Owner's Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label on your vehicle.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System does NOT detect a sudden drop in tire pressure as with a tire blowout. And it is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance.




2014 Infiniti QX50 - AroundView® Monitor (if so equipped)

The Around View® Monitor is a parking aid that provides views of your vehicle's position in relation to surrounding objects. There are cameras located in the center of the front grille, on the outside mirrors and above the rear license plate.

The Around View® Monitor displays a combination of views with the ignition switch in the ON position.

• Bird's-eye View shows a top view all around your vehicle.
• Front-Side View shows the area around and ahead of the passenger's side front wheel.
• Front View shows the area directly in front of your vehicle.
• Rear View shows a picture of the area directly behind your rear bumper, and
• Rear-Wide View shows a wider picture of the area directly behind the vehicle.

Press the CAMERA button repeatedly to cycle through available view combinations or to return to the screen which was displayed before the CAMERA button was pressed.

The available views vary based on the position of the shift lever. Certain view combinations are displayed in a split-screen format. The camera display will not be shown when the vehicle speed is above approximately 6 miles-per-hour.

The front and rear views display the approximate distance between an object and your vehicle with colored lines.
• The RED line designates an object approximately 1.5 feet away.
• The YELLOW line designates an object is approximately 3 feet away.
• The first GREEN line designates an object is approximately 7 feet away.
• The second GREEN line designates an object is approximately 10 feet away.

When the steering wheel is turned, predictive course lines are also displayed on the screen. These lines show the approximate path the vehicle will take. The predictive course lines move in conjunction with how far the steering wheel is turned.

2014 Infiniti QX50 - Intelligent Cruise Control (Full Speed Range)(if so equipped)

If your vehicle is equipped with the Intelligent Cruise Control, or ICC, system, it works like a standard cruise control only with the added feature of maintaining a selected distance from the vehicle in front of you.

The ICC system offers two cruise control modes:
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode maintains a selected distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
o The distance to the vehicle ahead can be selected at any time depending on the traffic conditions.
o Each time the DISTANCE switch is pushed, the set distance will change to long, middle, short and back to long again in that sequence.
o The distance to the vehicle ahead will change according to the vehicle speed. The higher the vehicle speed, the longer the distance.
o If the vehicle in front is traveling slower than your set speed, the ICC will automatically match that vehicle's speed. Once the road ahead clears, the ICC will resume your set speed automatically.
o Each time the engine is started, the initial setting becomes "Long".

• When the road ahead is clear, the driver can set the speed range between approximately 20 to 90 miles per hour.

• Or, you may choose the conventional, or fixed speed, cruise control mode for cruising at a preset speed.
