Infiniti M45 (2010 year). Manual - part 10

WARNING

● Do not adjust the steering wheel while driv-

ing. You could lose control of your vehicle

and cause an accident.

● Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer

to you than is necessary for proper steering

operation and comfort. The driver’s air bag

inflates with great force. If you are unre-

strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways

or out of position in any way, you are at

greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You

may also receive serious or fatal injuries

from the air bag if you are up against it when

it inflates. Always sit back against the seat-

back and as far away as practical from the

steering wheel. Always use the seat belts.

TILT OR TELESCOPIC OPERATION

Move the lever to adjust the steering wheel up

or down, forward or rearward to the desired

position.

Entry/Exit function operation

The automatic drive positioner system will

make the steering wheel move up automatically

when the driver’s door is opened with the

ignition switch in the LOCK position. This lets

the driver get into and out of the seat more

easily.
For more information, see “AUTOMATIC DRIVE

POSITIONER” later in this section.

Automatic anti-glare type

The inside mirror is designed so that it auto-

matically changes reflection according to the

intensity of the headlights of the following

vehicle.
The anti-glare system will be automatically

turned on when the ignition switch is pushed to

the ON position.
When the anti-glare system is turned on, the

indicator light

will illuminate and excessive

glare from the headlights of the vehicle behind

you will be reduced.

Type A: Push the

switch

to make the

inside rearview mirror operate normally and the

indicator light will turn off. Push the

switch again to turn the system on.

Type B: Push the “

C” switch

to make the

inside rearview mirror operate normally. The

indicator light will turn off. Push the “I” switch

to turn the system on.

Do not allow any object to cover the sensors

or apply glass cleaner on them. Doing so will

reduce the sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in

improper operation.
For the compass (if so equipped) operation, see

“COMPASS” in the “2. Instruments and con-

trols” section.

For the HomeLink

T Universal Transceiver opera-

tion, see “HomeLink

WARNING

Objects viewed in the outside mirror on the

passenger side are closer than they appear. Be

careful when moving to the right. Using only

this mirror could cause an accident. Use the

inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to

properly judge distances to other objects.

Adjusting outside mirrors

The outside mirror control switch is located at

the lower part of the instrument panel.
The outside mirror will operate only when the

The automatic drive positioner system has the

following features:
● Entry/exit function
● Memory storage

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION

This system is designed so that the driver’s seat

and steering column will automatically move

when the selector lever is in the P (Park)

position. This allows the driver to get into and

out of the driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the

steering wheel will move up when the driver’s

door is opened with the ignition switch in the

LOCK position.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return

to the previous positions when one of the

following is operated:
● When the ignition switch is pushed to the

ACC position after the driver’s door is

closed.

● When the ignition switch is pushed to the

ON position.

● When the Intelligent Key is inserted into the

port after the driver’s door is closed.

The driver’s seat will not return to the previous

positions if the seat or steering adjusting

switch is operated when the seat is at the exit

position.

Cancel or activate entry/exit function

To cancel or activate the entry/exit function, the

selector lever must be in the P (Park) position

with the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
Push and hold the SET switch for more than 10

seconds to cancel or activate the entry/exit

function.
The indicator lights on the memory switches (1

and 2) will blink once when the function is

canceled, and the indicator lights will blink

twice when the function is activated.
The entry/exit function can also be canceled or

activated if the “Lift Steering Wheel on Exit” key

or “Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit” key is turned

to ON or OFF in the “Comfort & Conv.” settings.

(See “VEHICLE INFORMATION AND SETTINGS” in

the “4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and

voice recognition systems” section.)

Initialize entry/exit function

If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the

fuse opens, the entry/exit function will not work

though this function was set on before. In such

a case, after connecting the battery or replacing

with a new fuse, open and close the driver’s

door more than two times after the ignition

switch is pushed to the ON position once, then

pushed to the LOCK position. The entry/exit

function will be activated.
