Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain
cruising speeds with a constant accelerator
position.
●
Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.
●
Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.
Keep a safe distance behind other vehicles.
●
Select a gear range suitable to road condi-
tions.
●
Avoid unnecessary prolonged engine idling.
●
Keep your engine tuned up.
●
Follow the recommended periodic mainte-
nance schedule.
●
Keep the tires inflated at the correct pres-
sure. Improper tire pressure will increase
wear and waste fuel.
●
Make sure the front wheels are properly
aligned. Improper alignment will cause pre-
mature tire wear and lower fuel economy.

When cruising at highway speeds, it is more
economical to use the air conditioner and
leave the windows closed to reduce drag.
The AWD warning light is located in the meter.
The AWD warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON position. It
turns off soon after the engine is started.
If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent AWD
system while the engine is running, the warning
light will come on.
The warning light may blink rapidly (about twice
per second) while trying to free a stuck vehicle
due to high power train oil temperature. The
driving mode may change to two-wheel drive. If
the warning light blinks rapidly during opera-
tion, stop the vehicle with the engine idling in a
safe place immediately. Then if the light goes
off after a while, you can continue driving.
A large difference between the diameters of
front and rear wheels will make the warning
light blink slowly (about once per two seconds).
Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the
engine. Check that all tire sizes are the same,
tire pressure is correct and tires are not worn.
If the warning light is blinking after the above
operation, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
